Your astrology, tarot and reflection calendar for the next 12 months.
Every new and full moon, five eclipses, planetary retrogrades, seasonal festivals and dates for relationships and wellbeing. September 16, 2026–September 14, 2027.
Save this if you want one place to check what’s coming up.
HOW TO USE IT
Choose a few dates that matter to you. You don’t need a ritual for every event.
New moons: choose an intention and a small action to support it.
Full moons: review what has happened since your last check-in.
Retrogrades: in astrology, these are commonly used for reviewing the planet’s associated themes. For Mercury, think communication; Venus, relationships and values; Mars, effort and motivation. You can still make decisions during them.
Seasonal dates: review your routines and what you want from the next few months.
The reflection prompts below are suggestions. An event’s date does not predict what will happen in your life.
DATES AND TIME ZONES
Astronomical dates below use UTC. Your local date may be the previous day, especially in the Americas. Holidays and awareness days retain their stated calendar dates. New and full moon times are different from the moment of greatest eclipse.
Equinoxes and solstices happen worldwide. Seasonal festival names here follow the Northern Hemisphere; the seasons are reversed in the south.

A FEW USEFUL DISTINCTIONS
A planet turning direct marks the end of its retrograde motion. Astrologers may also discuss shadow periods before or after those dates; those are separate.
July 18, 2027 is an extremely shallow penumbral lunar eclipse in NASA’s catalog. It is easy to miss visually. “Lunar eclipse” does not always mean a dramatic red moon. Eclipse visibility also depends on where you are.
The repeated-number dates are optional numerology prompts. Lion’s Gate on 8/8 is a modern spiritual observance. World Tarot Day and Galentine’s Day are community or informal observances. These have different origins from astronomical events and official awareness days.
For relationship and wellbeing observances, a useful action might be contacting a friend, asking for support or making a boundary clearer. Tarot can give you a question to consider; a trusted person or qualified professional can help you work through what you need.
A simple way to use the calendar: pick your next date, write down one question, and return to the same question a month later. What has changed in your situation or in how you understand it?
@alinalately The Lovers. this card seems about what your yes is worth. You stopped giving it to someone who assumes it no matter what. Not playing along isn't cold.... it's you keeping one promise, the one to yourself.
