Astrological calendar

August 2009

Every New and Full Moon, every eclipse with its Saros family, every retrograde and every sign change — in Brasília time, computed with precision ephemerides validated against NASA’s catalogue.

  1. 2 Sunday

    Mercury enters Virgo

    08:07 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

  2. 5 Wednesday

    Eclipse Lunar penumbral in Aquarius

    09:39 PM · Brasília time

    A Full Moon intensified by the Earth’s shadow: culmination and emotional turning point. What was ripe shows up all at once.

    Saros 148 · previous in the series: July 1991

  3. 13 Thursday

    Last Quarter in Taurus

    03:55 PM · Brasília time

    The light wanes: time to harvest what served and release what did not. A conscious closing before the next cycle.

  4. 20 Thursday

    New Moon in Leo

    07:02 AM · Brasília time

    Sun and Moon meet at the same degree: one cycle closes and another begins in the dark. The classic moment to plant intention — not to harvest results.

  5. 22 Saturday

    Sun enters Virgo

    08:39 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

  6. 25 Tuesday

    Mars enters Cancer

    02:14 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

    Mercury enters Libra

    05:18 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

  7. 26 Wednesday

    Venus enters Leo

    01:11 PM · Brasília time

    A planet changes sign: the same function starts operating in another style. The theme does not change — the manner does.

  8. 27 Thursday

    First Quarter in Sagittarius

    08:42 AM · Brasília time

    A week after the seed, the first tension: what was planted meets the real world. It is a course correction, not a surrender.

What this means for your chart

The calendar is the same for everyone; the effect is not. Each event lands in a different house of your chart — and that is what changes what it asks of you.
