The four solar festivals follow calculated equinoxes and solstices. The four cross-quarter observances use common civil dates: February 1, May 1, August 1, and October 31 in the Northern Hemisphere; August 1, November 1, February 1, and April 30 in the Southern Hemisphere. Dates and traditions vary. Select the hemisphere that fits your seasonal practice.
Moon signs use the geocentric tropical zodiac. Event times are approximate and shown in your device’s time zone. The Moon image is a phase illustration; its angle in your local sky can differ. No precise location is requested.
Seasonal and lunar themes are optional spiritual correspondences. Product selections are curated tools for your practice; meaningful ritual can also use what you already own.
The Wyrd Almanac is a free Pagan calendar and seasonal reference for a thoughtful magical practice. Explore the Wheel of the Year, the Moon’s changing phases, and the language of lunar signs. Use these cycles to make space for reflection, mark a meaningful occasion, or choose tools with intention.
The eight Wheel of the Year festivals, often called Sabbats in modern Pagan traditions, offer a framework for following the seasons. Their names, meanings, and observance dates vary between traditions. This Almanac uses the following Northern Hemisphere calendar, combining conventional civil dates with astronomical solstices and equinoxes:
Equinoxes and solstices occur at calculated moments; their local dates can change with the year and time zone. The four other festivals use the civil dates above rather than astronomical cross-quarter points. Southern Hemisphere seasonal observances follow a different calendar: this Almanac places Imbolc on August 1, Beltane on November 1, Lughnasadh on February 1, and Samhain on April 30, with the equinox and solstice festivals following their corresponding local seasons.
The Moon’s appearance changes as we see different portions of its sunlit half. The familiar sequence is new Moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full Moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. New and full Moons are astronomical moments, while the surrounding phase names describe the broader cycle.
Some practitioners associate the new Moon with intention, waxing phases with cultivation, the full Moon with reflection or celebration, and waning phases with release. These are symbolic approaches to personal practice. Choose the correspondences that suit your tradition, circumstances, and available energy.
A Moon sign describes the Moon’s position within a zodiac system at a particular moment. The Wyrd Almanac uses the tropical zodiac: twelve equal sectors anchored to the March equinox. These signs are distinct from astronomical constellations, and a sidereal calendar may show a different sign. A sign can change during a civil day, so the moment and time zone matter when planning.
