Currently, the personal astrological almanacs and calendars do not contain any interpretations of the astrological data presented. It is intended to be a tool for profession, student, and enthusiast astrologers!
Learning to interpret astrological data for yourself can feel intimidating at first, but it is very rewarding! For a list of recommended resources to get you started on your journey, please visit our resources page.

The almanac is a unique, personalized book printed on-demand at a number of partner printing facilities around the world. Our print partner strives to provide a comparable print experience across all their facilities. For this reason, they only offer a limited number of paper and binding options. Our binding and paper choices are constrained to those available.
The almanac is available with three different bindings options - a paperback option that is well suited for a reference book, a spiral bound option that lays flat for ease of writing, and hardcover version which is an attractive and sturdy option.
The paperback and spiral bindings com with a glossy cover, while the hardcover has a matte finish.
The almanac is also available with two paper types - a robust 80# coated/semi-gloss paper that is most suited for reference use and ball point pens, and a lighter 60# uncoated/matte paper that offers an improved writing experience. Note that both paper types are the same thickness.
The wall calendar contains much of the same content as the almanac, however there are some differences.
There are a few reasons people choose the 6 month almanac:
On occasion, for birth years prior to 1970, we may miscalculate whether Daylight Saving Time was in effect at your birth time and place. We currently rely on the IANA Timezone Database to tell us whether DST was in effect, and unfortunately they don't always have accurate data before 1970.
If you enter a birth year before 1970, the website will show a button that lets you manually force DST to your expected setting, which will almost certainly give you the ascendant you were expecting!
If for some reason your ascendant still looks incorrect, please contact support and let us know what you were expecting. We'll work with you to identify the issue and make sure we get your almanac configured as you expect!
All printed almanacs and calendars come with a complimentary PDF version that is delivered via email within 24 hours. The almanac will be printed and shipped within 7-10 business days, and delivery time depends on the shipping option chosen. A good estimate of the arrival date is given at checkout and in your order confirmation email. In our experience, deliveries in the US often arrive earlier than the estimated date.
The following are indicative times:
Upon receipt of your order, it is processed and held for 24 hours, and then forwarded to our print partner for both printing and shipping. Our print partner works with multiple international facilities for fulfilment, and your order will be forwarded to an appropriate print facility based on your shipping address. Your almanac will ship using the delivery method chosen at checkout, as shown in your order confirmation.
Yes, we do!
In most parts of Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand shipping costs should be $9.99 or less. While prices to other locations may be higher, we're still able to ship to most international destinations.
After placing your order, it may take up to 10 business days (or, two full weeks) for your almanac to print and ship from our printing partners, at which point you will receive an email with your tracking code.
We always try to subsidize the cheapest trackable shipping option our carriers offer us in order to present affordable options to our customers. In the continental US, this means we can offer free shipping, and internationally it means that we are often giving significant discounts on what we’re actually paying our carriers.
We’re able to offer better international shipping prices on the 12-month almanac, because the $40 price point gives us a little more room to subsidize the cost of the shipping prices we’re paying. Our carriers generally charge us the same shipping fee for both the 12-month and 6-month almanac. Because of this, the 6-month almanac may sometimes have a higher shipping price than the 12-month.
Unfortunately, the shipping prices we offer reflect what our carriers are charging us. In the continental US we have access to a $5.99 trackable shipping method, which we cover the cost of in order to offer a free option. International shipping to many parts of the world is $9.99 or less. We're always looking for opportunities to offer better shipping prices!
You can choose either a tropical zodiac or a sidereal zodiac. If you choose the sidereal zodiac, you can also choose from a selection of popular ayanamsas. Please let us know if you need an alternative ayanamsa, and we'll do our best to add it in a future version!
For both tropical and sidereal zodiacs, you can choose from whole signs, Placidus, Porphyry, Koch, equal house, Campanus, and Regiomontanus systems.
We've really agonized over striking a balance between simplicity and choice. We very much want to avoid an overwhelming set of choices in the ordering process. We also want to make sure we do a smaller set of things well, rather than a larger set not so well. The current set of options represents our effort to strike a balance here. That said, we love feedback, and letting us know what you want to see is the best way to see those changes in future versions of the almanac!
Conjunction (0º), sextile (60º), square (90º), trine (120º), and opposition (180º) aspects are shown in the transits. Additionally, the natal chart shows quincunx (150º) aspects.
The weekly and monthly planner pages show all mundane transits, including the Moon, and all natal transits (except for the Moon, where only conjunctions are shown).
You may cancel your order within 24 hours of placing it for a full refund. After this time your almanac will have gone to print and can no longer be cancelled.
We will issue a full refund if you choose to cancel your order within 24 hours. You don't need a reason to cancel during this time.
While printing or binding issues are very rare, they can occur with on-demand printing. In the event that you receive an almanac with such an issue, you may request a refund or a reprint. We may ask for a photo of the issue, as our print partner requires this when issuing a reprint or refund.
Refunds are not available for almanacs ordered with incorrect birth data. Aesthetic concerns such as disliking the colors or fonts used in the almanac do not qualify for a refund.
Each of our almanacs is unique to the individual, and as such we do not handle returns. An almanac that has printing or binding issues is eligible for either a reprint or refund as noted in the previous section.

It is quite common for the date of a solar return to differ from the date of your birthday. The solar return is based on the exact moment that the Sun reaches the exact position that it was at your birth, and this moment varies from year to year. Sometimes it falls on your actual birthday, and other times it is one or even two days different than your birthday.
The reason for the variation is that the Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to orbit the Sun, while our calendar is only 365 days long. We usually add an extra day every 4 years to account for this - a leap year. The rotation of the Earth around the Sun is quite consistent, and does not respect these quirks of our calendar system!
If you would like to verify your solar return information, you can generate a solar return chart on astro.com in the Extended Chart Selection area. You can expect the time and date presented to match the one in your almanac, provided you use the same location for the reference place as the one in your almanac.
