Most people into astrology have a need to know when mercury goes retrograde, when the moon is full, what days are best for starting new things etc. The 2012 Llewellyn Astrological Pocket Planner does all that – while also functioning as the place to keep track of your plans, appointments, notes etc.
While useful for astrological purposes, this planner is also just a good date book. It has week at a glance, which is really the format I like best. Featuring three years of astrological ephemeris and aspectarian data (2011–2013), you’ll learn the best time to plant a garden, begin new projects, meditate, go fishing, and more. - which most astrological planners don’t have. And of course all these include the astrological information you’d expect of Llewellyn.
Unlike other astrological guides you can find, this planner is NOT based on your personal astrological sign of the zodiac. Instead it helps you by giving you information on the astrological tides that influence all of us: retrograde planets, how the moon influences our life etc.
