Astrological calendar

January 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. 1 Thursday

    Mercury enters Aquarius

    07:50 AM · Brasília time

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

  2. 3 Saturday

    Venus enters Pisces

    10:35 AM · Brasília time

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

  3. 4 Sunday

    First Quarter in Aries

    09:56 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.

  4. 5 Monday

    Jupiter enters Aquarius

    01:54 PM · Brasília time

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

  5. 11 Sunday

    Full Moon in Cancer

    01:27 AM · Brasília time

    Sun and Moon on opposite sides of the sky: maximum light on what had been growing. What was implicit becomes visible — in feeling, in outcome, in conversation.

    Mercury stations retrograde in Aquarius

    02:44 PM · Brasília time

    Seen from Earth, the planet stops and moves backwards: a period of review for the themes it rules. Retrograde is not punishment — it is the second pass over the same subject.

  6. 18 Sunday

    Last Quarter in Libra

    12:46 AM · Brasília time

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

  7. 19 Monday

    Sun enters Aquarius

    08:40 PM · Brasília time

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

  8. 21 Wednesday

    Mercury enters Capricorn (retrograde)

    03:36 AM · Brasília time

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

  9. 26 Monday

    Eclipse Solar annular in Aquarius

    05:58 AM · Brasília time

    A New Moon with the nodal axis activated: the Moon covers the Sun. In the tradition, a restart of this size moves structure, not detail — and the effect is counted in months, not days.

    Saros 131 · previous in the series: January 1991

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.
