Astrological calendar

October 2022

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 Sunday

    Mercury stations direct in Virgo

    06:11 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.

    First Quarter in Capricorn

    09:14 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.

  2. 8 Saturday

    Pluto stations direct in Capricorn

    06:41 PM · 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.

  3. 9 Sunday

    Full Moon in Aries

    05:55 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.

  4. 10 Monday

    Mercury enters Libra

    08:50 PM · Brasília time

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

  5. 17 Monday

    Last Quarter in Cancer

    02:15 PM · Brasília time

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

  6. 23 Sunday

    Saturn stations direct in Aquarius

    01:04 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.

    Venus enters Scorpio

    04:52 AM · Brasília time

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

    Sun enters Scorpio

    07:36 AM · Brasília time

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

  7. 25 Tuesday

    Eclipse Solar partial in Scorpio

    08:00 AM · 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 124 · previous in the series: October 2004

  8. 28 Friday

    Jupiter enters Pisces (retrograde)

    01:44 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 Saturday

    Mercury enters Scorpio

    04:21 PM · Brasília time

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

  10. 30 Sunday

    Mars stations retrograde in Gemini

    10:25 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.

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.
