◷ Free Year Ahead Calendar — Twelve Months of Sky on One Timeline

Umbriel's free year-ahead calendar puts eclipses, retrogrades, New and Full Moons and the turning seasons on a single timeline. The year's weather, not your fate. Free, no account.

Four different calculations, one timeline. Every eclipse, every retrograde station, every New and Full Moon, and the four season markers, merged into a single list in date order.

Each comes from the engine rather than a stored calendar, so the page is correct for any twelve months rather than only the current year — and nothing needs updating when the year turns over.

It is the planning view: one place to see that a retrograde begins three days before an eclipse, which no single-technique page will tell you.

⚠️ And the framing is deliberate. This is the sky's year, not yours — the same events for everybody alive. What they touch in your own chart is a different question, and a different page.

That distinction is worth holding onto, because most year-ahead content sold anywhere blurs it — a forecast written for a whole sign is describing the shared sky while implying it is describing you. The sky half is genuinely the same for everyone and can be stated exactly, to the minute. The personal half needs your birth chart, and Umbriel keeps the two on separate pages so it is always obvious which one you are reading.

It is also the most useful page to look at before making plans. Not because the sky decides anything, but because knowing that a retrograde begins the week you meant to launch something is the kind of thing people would rather know in advance than notice afterwards.

Four separate calculations are run across the next twelve months and merged onto one timeline in date order: every eclipse, every retrograde station, every New and Full Moon, and the four season markers. Each comes from the engine rather than a stored calendar, so the page is correct for any twelve months rather than only the current year, and nothing needs updating when the year turns. Each of the four feeds is the same solver used by its own dedicated page — the eclipse finder, the station finder, the lunation finder and the season solver — rather than a second implementation written for the timeline, so the summary can never drift from the detail pages it summarises. Events are merged strictly by instant, which is what allows the useful reading here: seeing that a retrograde station falls three days before an eclipse is a pattern no single-technique page can show you.
