Best Days Calendar

The Best Days Calendar identifies auspicious dates for specific activities by combining astrological timing principles with the rhythms of the Moon, planetary days, and favorable aspects. It is rooted in the practice of electional astrology, the art of choosing the most supportive moment to begin something important, from signing a contract to planting a garden or scheduling a wedding.

The tool weighs several factors when scoring a day: the Moon's phase (waxing for growth and new beginnings, waning for release and finishing), the zodiac sign the Moon is traveling through, void-of-course Moon periods that traditionally favor delay, and the harmonious or tense aspects forming between planets. Each candidate date is rated so you can quickly scan for the strongest windows.

People use the calendar to time activities like launching a business, making a major purchase, starting a diet or new habit, traveling, gardening, or planning ceremonies. Almanac traditions have long published best-days lists for tasks such as cutting hair, weaning, and planting by the Moon's sign, and this tool brings that logic into a digital, date-specific format.

For practical results, match the activity to the right lunar phase — begin growth-oriented projects on a waxing Moon and wrap up or cut back during a waning one — and avoid starting consequential matters during void-of-course periods. Pair it with the Annual Forecast to align short-term elections with your broader yearly timing.
