Creator and astrology enthusiast, Paige Allison Mingus, was looking for a calendar that featured the Zodiac signs as months rather than the traditional Gregorian calendar months.

When she discovered that such a calendar did not exist, she decided to make one for herself, and thus the Astrolendar, the world’s first Zodiac calendar, was born.

The Astrolendar is a way of traveling through your year following the Sun as it cycles around the astrological wheel. The traditional calendar months and days are still featured on the Astrolendar in the lower left corner.

The years are replaced with cycles. Whereas traditional calendar years start on January 1st every year, cycles can start with whatever Zodiac sign you choose! The Capricorn Cycle is the closest to the Gregorian calendar new year start, while the Aries Cycle starts directly on the astrological new year. Other signs can start cycles too. Feel like the new year begins with your Solar Return? Then start your Astrolendar Cycle with your Sun sign!

The Astrolendar also follows the moons cycles, clearly featuring the new & full moons in the graphics, while notating new, full and quarter moons in the grids. There are patterns to notice within the moon phases, can you find them?

Peculiarities. With the zodiac degree time telling method the Astrolendar offers, there are a few peculiarities. Some of the degrees have minutes listed next to them, this is to mark the instances where the degree either repeats or skips. To keep the system universally adaptable, the degrees are determined by the degree the Sun is in at midnight Universal Time. The degree numbering is in Universal Time, while the transits are in Eastern Time, thus, the solar shifts do not always match. The universal solar shift happens when the degrees reset to 0° and the local solar shift happens when the grid changes color.

Lastly, the Astrolendar offers astrological transits for the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto & Chiron. Aspects included in these transits are ingresses, conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares and sextiles.
