I just received the 2011 Llewellyn Astrological Calendar from Amazon and am very satisfied with the artwork and content. The artwork in the 2011 edition lies more on the whimsical and airy side - a beautiful blend of Fairy and Tarot if you will. Upon closer observation, you can see that the artist Stephanie Pui-Mun Law really put alot of thought and attention to detail into every page, creating fluid movement throughout each sign. If you still have the 2010 version, you'll notice the art was more traditional and two dimensional in nature, with jewel-tone colors and typical Archetypes being used for each sign.

As far as I can tell, the 2011 horoscopes appear quite distinct and specific for each sign. I found the 2010 readings pretty accurate looking back, even though they were short. You'll find "Rewarding" and "Challenging" dates provided every month as well so you'll know when you should be out on the town or when you should call it a night.

The astrological "Basics" at the back of the calendar are very informative and I especially enjoy reading the "Travel and Vacation Forecasts" provided for each sign. Bruce Scofield is the author of the travel piece and he seems to really knows his dates and times for planning a great trip (as well as which months to absolutely avoid).

Overall, I was surprised by how much this calendar covers: houses, aspects, signs, planets, eclipses, travel forecasts, planting and fishing days, moon signs and phases, retrograde table, and even the Ephemeris Table (which alot of beginner's may not utilize anyway). All in all, this is a beautiful calendar, no matter how you use it, and most anyone would be happy displaying it on their wall for the artwork alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than last years, January 12, 2011

I've been buying Llewellyn's Calendars for years and prefer the 2011 over the 2010 calendar. The light maroon and black text is easier to read over the dark blue and black text from last year's, and it's easier on the eyes too. It's rich with insightful information if you're into astrology and want to keep an edge on upcoming event. It keeps me prepared, and helps me to better time my moves throughout the year in both business and pleasure. I gave it 4-stars because I cannot get accustomed to the art work. It's very detailed and artistic, but the Celtic, Gothic style isn't for me. Greek or Egyptian Artwork would be far more appealing to me. Guess it's just a matter of taste.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Calendar, December 22, 2010

I buy this calendar every year. It's a must if you follow planetary daily aspects and much more convenient for quick reference than pulling out the ephemeris. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the way they show the void of course moon. Instead of showing it next to the aspect in which it occurs (as they have done in former years), they list the void of course time in the top of the box, and in order to see the planets involved, you must look for it at the bottom of the box. It just adds another step to the process. I don't know why they changed this. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Other than that, it is a beautiful calender.
