Calendars & Annuals for 2008


Navigation for this page: Jim Maynard Calendars Llewellyn Calendars AFA/Circle Books Calendars Raphael & Rosicrucian annuals


Astrological Calendars differ from the common sort. Astrological calendars not only give the moon's phase, but also its void of course & the aspects it makes to the sun & other planets, and the aspects sun & planets make to each other. Astrological calendars also tell when the moon, sun & planets enter each of the 12 signs of the zodiac, when planets station & go retrograde/direct, as well as note solar/lunar eclipses & lunar occultations. All precisely timed. A regular calendar will tell you the day of the week. An astrological calendar brings you the world, if you know how to read it.

The following interior scans are 100% LIFE SIZE, though your monitor may show differently. Cover illustrations are at 25%.


March, 2008: Calendar season is nearly over. Only the items shown below remain.
See you in the fall! - Dave


Llewellyn's Astrological Calendars for 2008

Llewellyn's Daily Planetary Guide 2008. Price: $10.95
General Description:
Llewellyn's datebook shows both EASTERN & PACIFIC times. Summer entries are adjusted for Daylight time, which in 2008 begins on Sunday, March 9, and ends on Sunday, November 2. Like the Llewellyn wall calendar, all aspects are timed. Monday through Thursday are shown on the left-hand pages, Friday through Sunday on the right. The only holidays shown are the civil holidays (Christmas, 4th of July), and Jewish. The daily aspectarian includes the signs the planets are in (look closely at the page to the left). Usefully, eclipses are noted in the daily listings.

On the back of the book, A trusted source of astrological data for thirty years. This is true. The Daily Planetary Guide has long been a solid, dependable book.

Contents in detail.

Llewellyn's 2008 Astrological Pocket Planner. Price: $7.99
General Description: The format for Llewellyn's Pocket Planner is patterned after its Daily Planetary Guide, so it's a mini-datebook. There's a bit of room for notes as you go about your week. But as this is a mini, the only phenomena given on the weekly pages are the moon's entry & void of course, planetary retrogrades & stations, entry of planets into signs, all of which include Chiron & asteroids. (There's a full ephemeris (midnight) & aspectarian in the back for 2007, 2008 & 2009.) Times are given in both Eastern & Pacific. As last year, the Pocket Planner notes the day when Standard Time becomes Daylight, which is now the second Sunday in March. Daylight now ends the first Sunday in November.

Contents in detail.

Llewellyn Publications. Printed in the USA. Size: 4.25 x 6.25, or 10.8 x 16 cm. Regular paperback binding (eg, perfect bound).
