Astrological calendar

May 2023

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

    Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius

    02:14 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. 5 Friday

    Eclipse Lunar penumbral in Scorpio

    02:22 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 141 · previous in the series: April 2005

  3. 7 Sunday

    Venus enters Cancer

    11:24 AM · Brasília time

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

  4. 12 Friday

    Last Quarter in Aquarius

    11:28 AM · Brasília time

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

  5. 15 Monday

    Mercury stations direct in Taurus

    12:19 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.

  6. 16 Tuesday

    Jupiter enters Taurus

    02:28 PM · Brasília time

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

  7. 19 Friday

    New Moon in Taurus

    12:53 PM · 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.

  8. 20 Saturday

    Mars enters Leo

    12:30 PM · Brasília time

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

  9. 21 Sunday

    Sun enters Gemini

    04:08 AM · Brasília time

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

  10. 27 Saturday

    First Quarter in Virgo

    12:22 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.

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.
