Astrological calendar

April 2024

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 Monday

    Mercury stations retrograde in Aries

    07:13 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.

  2. 2 Tuesday

    Last Quarter in Capricorn

    12:15 AM · Brasília time

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

  3. 5 Friday

    Venus enters Aries

    12:59 AM · Brasília time

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

  4. 8 Monday

    Eclipse Solar total in Aries

    03:17 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 139 · previous in the series: March 2006

  5. 15 Monday

    First Quarter in Cancer

    04:13 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. 19 Friday

    Sun enters Taurus

    10:59 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 Tuesday

    Full Moon in Scorpio

    08:49 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.

  8. 25 Thursday

    Mercury stations direct in Aries

    09:51 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.

  9. 29 Monday

    Venus enters Taurus

    08:31 AM · Brasília time

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

  10. 30 Tuesday

    Mars enters Aries

    12:32 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.
