The astrological calendar of the year: Mercury retrograde, full moons, new moons and eclipses

When does Mercury turn retrograde, when is the next full moon, and will the eclipse be visible from your country? We have put the answers on one page: the Astrological calendar.

What the calendar contains

• Mercury retrograde — the retrograde periods together with the shadow before and after.
• Full moons and new moons — each with its date, time and zodiac sign.
• Eclipses — the type of each eclipse and whether it can be seen from the reference city for your language.
• Retrograde planets — when each planet stations and turns.
• Planetary ingresses — when a planet changes zodiac sign.

Everything is calculated from the ephemeris to the second, not copied from other people's tables. Times are given in the time zone of your language. The pages cover the current year and the next, so next year's calendar is ready well in advance.

How to use it

The calendar is public and needs no account. It is a good place to mark quieter and more demanding periods in your diary — and then to see what the same events mean for your own chart in the personal transit calendar.

Events in the sky are astronomical facts; their meaning is the symbolism of astrology — for reflection, not for predicting events.
