Happy 2012!
January 1, 2012 by J McCaul
I've worked really hard to get all the calendars updated for the new year. If you notice that I've missed something, please feel free to let me know what page is having an issue (URL) and what you are noticing. Click on the "contact" link in the menu to the left of the page.
It seems like more and more people are becoming interested in the transits through the declinations. I've added three pages devoted to providing this information to you in a format that you can look forward to see what's coming.
I've sorted out the planets based on their speed of transit through the declinations. The Moon has it's own page for obvious reasons. It zips through the declinations. The personal planets through to Jupiter move quickly, but not at warp speed, so they get a separate page. Then the Outer Planets, along with Saturn, has their own page.
Each page will display a small graph at the bottom of the page for the month that you are viewing of those planets for the extra visual of the information.
Enjoy and Happy New Year!
The Daily Energies/Transits
December 12 by J McCaul
The bi-weekly transits graph and aspect list has been updated to remove 2008 - 2009 but added 2012 and 2013. The page gives a great visual of what to expect from the transits in the present and future. Sometimes, it is nice to look back as well, so I try to keep a couple of years in there for the retrospect. The list also includes Moon ingresses, planetary retrograde and direct stations, as well as all the major aspects. Select a date and check it out. Daily Transits
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven . . .

Everyone loves a countdown. Plus, almost everyone is curious when the next retrograde will begin (and end). To answer these questions, I created some scripts that will help you keep track of the next retrograde motion for the major planets. If the planet is already retrograde, the countdown will shift to the amount of time left to the end of the retrograde. The countdown will show years, months and days until there is less than a month. Then the countdown will show days, hours and minutes.
Enjoy all the retrograde countdowns!

Mercury Retrograde with a Helio Twist
August 2, 2011 by J McCaul
Check out the JAstrology Blogspot article about the current Mercury Retrograde. There's a bit of a different perspective by adding in a twist of the Heliocentric Mercury perspective. Hoping you enjoy the read.
Moon Widget Update
July 28, 2011 by J McCaul
For the past year, I have included on my main Moon Tracks page a "Moon Phase" Widget that a person had developed in Java. While I liked the appearance of the widget, I generally don't like Java applets on the Internet. So, I took a few days this month to write my own moon phase widget that I have more control over the information presented and there are no ads that cover the face of the widget. Enjoy :)
What the Heck is Void of Course?
July 18, 2011 by J McCaul
From time to time, the Lunar Void of Course becomes the topic of confusion. The Moon's transit during a Void of Course period refers to a period of confused emotions, in a nutshell. Some astrologers use different calculations to define periods of Void of Course. So, be certain to read how the Void of Course Moon was calculated to ensure that the dates and times match up with your particular needs. The Void of Course Table is now time zone adjustable and includes only a two-month period; the current month and next month. The Void of Course calendar will remain online to allow for current, past and future research. The various information available on the new Void of Course page is as follows:
Feel free to explore the new Void of Course Moon table to see if it can benefit you in your daily life and schedules.

Webpage Changes Implemented
November 26, 2010 by J McCaul
The site is getting some upgrades to help protect from bandwidth theft. Moon Tracks' hit numbers keep rising expoentially from month to month partly due to people who want to share Moon Tracks' information by doing a copy and paste onto their websites. I love the fact that you love the information! But taking the information without letting everyone know where you got it from is not so nice.
Because of the recently discovered number of websites taking Moon Tracks' information, lock, stock and barrel as their own website information, a few security precautions have been implemented. As a result of this security feature, if you notice a "Please Don't Steal" image popping out all over Moon Tracks while actually visiting Moon Tracks it is because you have either come to this site without the proper URL confirmation or your browser is blocking the URL referer while accessing the site. If you want access to the graphics while visiting Moon Tracks, you will need to allow your browser to properly access the moontracks.com URL. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this change causes you during your visit to my calendar site.
The basic courtesy for using someone else's information online is:
- Acknowledge the originating site with a link back to Moon Tracks
- Give credit where credit is due
- Ask for permission first before using
- Don't hotlink the images without authorization

August 1, 2010 by J McCaul
I wanted to alert the readers here about an important planetary aspect that could affect your lives between August 5 and 7th 2010. The Grand Cross in the signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn has the potential of spreading fear and, at the very least, creating an extremely unsettling outcome. Read about the Grand Cross (aka Grand Square) at JAstrology Below is the list of planets in the Grand Cross.
- Moon
- Venus
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Pluto

Time Zone Adjustable Calendars
May 16, 2010 by J McCaul
The two major moon events, Full Moon and New Moon Calendars along with the Lunar/Solar Eclipses have a feature that allows guests to change time zones so that the times of the events are correctly reflected for your area.
The default setting on these specific calendars (tables) is GMT (or UT). The main time zones for the United States are Eastern -5 hours (-4 EDST), Central -6 (-5 CDST), Mountain -7 (-6 MDST) and Pacific -8 (-7 PDST). The plus (+) is used for the eastern hemisphere, including Africa, Europe and Asia, while the minus (-) is for the western hemisphere, including Greenland and the Americas. The regions that add a half-hour (30 minutes) to their time zones are not incorporated into calendars.
Ingress and Retrograde Tables
May 1, 2010 by J McCaul
The newest feature (tool) that has been added to the site is the series of tables listing planets, dates, times, signs, with ingress or retrograde activity. These tables work well with the basic calendars that are also located on this site for those particular events.

The Move is Completed
April 20, 2010 by J McCaul
All of the calendars from Lunar Living have moved to Moon Tracks. The calendars have been removed and redirected to here. In time, the Lunar Living headers will be removed/replaced from the current calendars, although, the older calendars will still have the Lunar Living banners.
Over the past 10 years, Lunar Living's web site had become loaded with too many features and articles. With so much information to share, many individuals were frustrated trying to find the right calendar for their needs. Now, with Moon Tracks Calendars, the frustration and confusion has been eliminated with the easy to find menu
The goal with Moon Tracks is to divest the calendars from Lunar Living to help you find your favorite calendars quicker and easier. The basic layout is as follows:
- Lunar (Moon) Astrology Calendars

- Monthly Ephemeris & Declinations
The astrology calendar move is now complete. If you find problems or issues on the site, feel free to click on the contact link to get access to the site's email address.
