Retrograde Calendar — the Year Ahead
Computed live in your browser: the engine scans each planet’s apparent speed and finds every station in the next twelve months, so this list can never go stale. Station dates are approximate to about a day (≈). When a planet appears to move backward — an optical effect of orbital geometry — tradition reads it as a review window: revisit and revise rather than initiate.
Retrograde windows are computed on your device by the same VSOP87 engine that powers the rest of this page — JavaScript is needed to run it. For what’s retrograde right now, see the retrograde tracker.
Eclipse Seasons
Upcoming Eclipses
An eclipse is exact geometry — Sun, Moon and Earth in line at the lunar nodes. In the astrological tradition eclipses mark chapter turns: new beginnings at solar eclipses, culminations and releases at lunar ones.
Curated dates · verified July 2026. Eclipse circumstances need lunar-node geometry the on-site engine doesn’t compute, so unlike the live calendars on this page this short list is hand-checked against published astronomical tables — we list only dates we’ve verified.
August 12, 2026
New Moon in Leo crosses the Sun’s face. Totality tracks over the high Arctic, western Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain — the first totality over mainland Europe in a generation. Tradition reads a solar eclipse as a bold chapter opening.
August 28, 2026
The Full Moon in Pisces clips Earth’s shadow, visible wherever the Moon is above the horizon that night. Lunar eclipses are traditionally read as culminations — something finishing, surfacing, or being released.
February 6, 2027
New Moon in Aquarius leaves a ring of Sun — the Moon is too far from Earth to cover it fully. The annular path crosses the southern Pacific, parts of South America and the Atlantic.
August 2, 2027
New Moon in Leo — one of the century’s longest totalities, up to about six minutes, tracking from the Strait of Gibraltar across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

What Are Planetary Transits?
Transits are the ongoing movements of the planets through the zodiac and how they interact with the fixed positions of your natal chart — your personal cosmic weather forecast.
Every planet continues its orbital journey after you are born. When a transiting planet forms an angular relationship — a conjunction, trine, square, or opposition — with a planet in your natal chart, that transit activates the combined themes of both planets in your life.
Outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — move slowly, and their transits last months or even years, often marking the most significant developmental chapters of your life. Inner planets move quickly, triggering brief but immediate shifts.
Understanding your personal transits gives you a map of upcoming opportunities and challenges, allowing you to schedule major decisions and creative launches at the most auspicious moments.
Inner Planet Transits
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars. Quick shifts in daily mood, communication, relationships, and drive. Duration: hours to a few weeks.
Jupiter & Saturn Transits
Last weeks to several months. Jupiter brings expansion and opportunity; Saturn brings tests, consolidation, and lasting achievement through effort.
Outer Planet Transits
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto — last months to 3 years. These mark the deepest transformations, generational turning points, and irreversible life-chapter changes.
Retrograde Transits
When planets appear to move backward. A natural time for revision, reflection, and completion of unfinished business rather than new forward launches.
