For those who want quick astrological information such as moon phases, solstices, and planetary motion through the sun signs, this calendar is handy to have on the wall. It also shows the holidays and other dates of interest.

I was pleased with my order and the calendar is

wonderful if you like keeping up with the

moon and other interesting facts.

This is much more than a calendar. It includes a good introduction (or refresher) to general astrology, with information on planets, signs, and houses. A sun-sign synopsis is provided each month. The day-by-day aspects are useful, but they do clutter up the boxes. This is obviously not a calendar for entering your appointments, but for tracking planetary influences. The illustrations are ok.

I find this calendar to be invaluable. I've always dabbled a little in astrology and find the subject extremely interesting. Where this helps me in the customer service field is the schedule of the full moon. I'll tell you what...the week leading up to and ending with the full moon always gets our wackiest calls. At the very least, this gets me prepped for the looniness that ensues during that week.

Besides that, you also get a full astrology lesson in the back of each edition of Llewellyn's astrological calendar. You're also provided with the necessary tools to enable you to decipher the astrological symbols provided for each day of the week and how those days will measure up for you.

I've always found Llewellyn's calendars stocked with great artwork every year -- artwork suitable to be displayed in the office or at home.

If you have an interest in astrology and happen to be looking for a calendar, look no further than this item. And if you work in the customer service field like me and have noted how the phases of the moon dictate general goofiness, you'll find it to be invaluable!

Llewellyn's 2007 Astrological calendar features 12 original paintings by artist T.W. Metcalf. The colorful images aren't bad--some, like Capricorn, are intriguing--but I just don't think they measure up to past art for Llewellyn's Astrological Calendars. However, the Introduction to Astrology by Kim Rogers-Gallagher is outstanding.

Llewellyn's 2007 Astrological Calendar provides much more than interesting astrological paintings to look at every month. A monthly horoscope for each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac by Sally Cragin is provided, as well as the most rewarding and challenging days. For each day of the month, you'll find:

*Major daily aspects, with times included

*The Moon's sign, phase, and void-of-course dates and times

*Best fishing and planting dates

Each month also features one square dedicated to:

*Ruling planet

*Area of body the sign rules

*Element

*Nature

*Colors

*Glyph

*Symbol

*Birth dates

*Key words

In addition, this 40 page calendar includes:

*A comprehensive introduction to astrology (Planets, Signs, Houses, Aspects and Transits, Retrograde Planets, the Moon's influence through the Signs, Aspects Keywords).

*Lunar planting and activity chart

*Travel and vacation forecast by Bruce Scofield for each of the 12 Signs

*Ephemeris grids for 2007

*World Time Zones and Time Zone Conversions Map

*Retrograde Periods Grid

*Eclipse Dates

Llewellyn's 2007 Astrological Calendar helps star-watchers navigate planetary cycles with its copious amount of information--so it's really hard to beat in terms of calendars. Fans of monthly horoscopes will love the monthly predictions, too.

I buy this calendar every year so that makes it obvious I like it. Delivery was long delay but in time for 2007

Whether one knows little or a lot about astrology, the Llewellyn Astrological Calendar meets needs for folks on all levels.

For 'pros,' each day of the month is clearly denoted with the planetary indicators (conjuncts, retrogrades, etc.) for every celestial body (in our solar system) that's in motion during a 24-hour period.

For dabblers, a handy fold-down reference is included to decipher all the scientific markings referenced above (the ones written in each daily square, every month). Plus, a guide in the back also explains how all those planetary aspects work together.

For beginners (and everyone), charts in the back section break down the daily planetary intricacies into basic, usable knowledge, showing which days are best for such things as gardening and fishing, for example.

Each month is marked with a vibrant, colorful, glossy illustration, and general guidelines for each astrological sign are printed below it for the upcoming month.

As well, it is noted for each sign which days will be the "most rewarding" and which will be the "most challenging" of the month. There are generally 3-to-5 days for each.--THAT is always an interesting bit of data!

As other reviewers noted, the calendar marks the Earth's moon phases (as well as data for moons for some other planets).

(Not only are the full moon phases helpful to note, but the new moon's arrival coincides with erratic behavior, too.)

Since finding this calendar 5 or 6 six years ago, I get one every year now; its information is invaluable, guiding me toward 'dabbler' status.
