Astrological calendar

March 2016

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 Tuesday

    Last Quarter in Sagittarius

    08:11 PM · Brasília time

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

  2. 5 Saturday

    Mercury enters Pisces

    07:24 AM · Brasília time

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

    Mars enters Sagittarius

    11:25 PM · Brasília time

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

  3. 8 Tuesday

    Eclipse Solar total in Pisces

    10:57 PM · 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 130 · previous in the series: February 1998

  4. 12 Saturday

    Venus enters Pisces

    07:23 AM · Brasília time

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

  5. 15 Tuesday

    First Quarter in Gemini

    02:03 PM · 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. 20 Sunday

    Sun enters Aries

    01:30 AM · Brasília time

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

  7. 21 Monday

    Mercury enters Aries

    09:19 PM · Brasília time

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

  8. 23 Wednesday

    Eclipse Lunar penumbral in Libra

    08:47 AM · 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 142 · previous in the series: March 1998

  9. 25 Friday

    Saturn stations retrograde in Sagittarius

    07:02 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.

  10. 31 Thursday

    Last Quarter in Capricorn

    12:17 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.
