Southern Seasons Moon Calendar - Summer Solstice Edition (December 2026-2027) DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

Southern Seasons Moon Calendar is back - this time the Summer Solstice edition! It's the calendar we've been dreaming of for years! All your accurate seasonal celebration dates in New Zealand time, with Full Moon names specifically for the Southern Hemisphere.

Thirteen Moons instead of twelve uneven months, so that you feel more in tune with the lunar cycles instead of the Gregorian calendar that is deliberately out of touch with nature.

Know when each season truly starts according to the ancient cross-quarter festivals that fall halfway between the Solstices and Equinoxes.

Make important plans around the Mercury Retrograde phases so you can take extra care with communication, avoid conflict and technical glitches.

If the holidays have always felt backwards to you, being in the Southern Hemisphere why not try creating your own traditions? Celebrate The 13 Magical Nights of the New Year at the Winter Solstice with the return of the Sun after the Longest Night and The Summer Solstice at Christmastime. As well as Samhain in Autumn instead of Halloween in Spring and The Spring Equinox instead of Easter in Autumn.

Add your own special events, after all this is your calendar!

If you would prefer to start your New Year with the Winter Solstice at Yuletide and Matariki, feel free to order my Winter Solstice version (now only available as a digital download) which still has half a year to go and then order my next Winter Solstice edition beginning in June 2027. If you have any questions please reach out.

This calendar was created entirely by a human (no AI used), with love and from personal experience of celebrating the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere. Photos are of seasonal altars with my own handmade beeswax candles, designed for each Wheel of the Year festival. I wish I had this resource when I started out, that's why I've created it alongside my ebook guide which goes more in depth on each seasonal festival. I plan on releasing a new calendar every six months, for each Solstice, that both go for 13 Moons.
