Astrological calendar

August 2019

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

    New Moon in Leo

    12:12 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.

    Mercury stations direct in Cancer

    01:02 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.

  2. 7 Wednesday

    First Quarter in Scorpio

    02:31 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.

  3. 11 Sunday

    Jupiter stations direct in Sagittarius

    10:38 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.

    Mercury enters Leo

    04:44 PM · Brasília time

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

    Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus

    11:37 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. 15 Thursday

    Full Moon in Aquarius

    09:29 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.

  5. 18 Sunday

    Mars enters Virgo

    02:18 AM · Brasília time

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

  6. 21 Wednesday

    Venus enters Virgo

    06:06 AM · Brasília time

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

  7. 23 Friday

    Sun enters Virgo

    07:01 AM · Brasília time

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

    Last Quarter in Gemini

    11:56 AM · Brasília time

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

  8. 29 Thursday

    Mercury enters Virgo

    04:47 AM · Brasília time

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

  9. 30 Friday

    New Moon in Virgo

    07:37 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.

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.
