Astrological calendar

August 2017

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. 3 Thursday

    Uranus stations retrograde in Aries

    02:50 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.

  2. 7 Monday

    Eclipse Lunar partial in Aquarius

    03:20 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 119 · previous in the series: July 1999

  3. 12 Saturday

    Mercury stations retrograde in Virgo

    10:04 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.

  4. 14 Monday

    Last Quarter in Taurus

    10:15 PM · Brasília time

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

  5. 21 Monday

    Eclipse Solar total in Leo

    03:25 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 145 · previous in the series: August 1999

  6. 22 Tuesday

    Sun enters Virgo

    07:20 PM · Brasília time

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

  7. 25 Friday

    Saturn stations direct in Sagittarius

    09:13 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.

  8. 26 Saturday

    Venus enters Leo

    01:29 AM · Brasília time

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

  9. 29 Tuesday

    First Quarter in Sagittarius

    05:13 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.

  10. 31 Thursday

    Mercury enters Leo (retrograde)

    12:24 PM · Brasília time

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

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.
