Astrological calendar

April 2011

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 Saturday

    Mars enters Aries

    01:50 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 Sunday

    New Moon in Aries

    11:33 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.

  3. 4 Monday

    Neptune enters Pisces

    07:08 AM · Brasília time

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

  4. 9 Saturday

    Pluto stations retrograde in Capricorn

    05:55 AM · 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.

  5. 11 Monday

    First Quarter in Cancer

    09:06 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.

  6. 17 Sunday

    Full Moon in Libra

    11:44 PM · 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.

  7. 20 Wednesday

    Sun enters Taurus

    07:17 AM · Brasília time

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

  8. 21 Thursday

    Venus enters Aries

    01:06 AM · Brasília time

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

  9. 23 Saturday

    Mercury stations direct in Aries

    07:02 AM · Brasília time

    The planet stations and returns to direct motion: what was under review starts moving again, now with what was learned along the way.

  10. 24 Sunday

    Last Quarter in Aquarius

    11:47 PM · Brasília time

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

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.
