How to Add Astrology Transits to Your Calendar
The hard part of tracking transits is remembering them on the day you are standing in. You read that Mercury stations direct on the thirteenth, you think that might explain a few things, and then the thirteenth arrives and you have no idea why the week feels the way it does.
My free astrology transit calendar solves that by putting the dates into whatever calendar you already look at, and every entry carries a link inside it, so when the day arrives you can tap it and read what that transit means without going looking. It is free, it takes about a minute, and it works in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook. Here is how to do it in each one.
What Lands in Your Calendar
Before the steps, what you are adding. A lot of the astrology calendars you will find are fixed to a single year and go stale, so worth saying plainly: this one keeps moving. The feed currently carries 121 events covering the rest of 2026, the whole of 2027 and into early 2028, and it refreshes itself, so new dates generally appear as the range extends without you having to do anything about it. You are not downloading a 2027 calendar that expires and needs replacing in January.
- Lunations, the new and full moon phases, each with its sign and degree
- Eclipses, solar and lunar, flagged separately from ordinary lunations
- Ingresses, every planetary transit into a new sign
- Retrogrades, both the retrograde station and the direct station
- A link inside every entry, so tapping the event opens the reading for that specific transit
You pick which of those four you want before you subscribe, so if the only thing you care about is retrogrades, like the current Saturn retrograde, that is the only thing that will land in your calendar. Each entry takes fifteen minutes of calendar space and is marked as free time, so it should not make you look busy to anyone checking your availability.
How to Add Astrology Transits to Google Calendar
Google Calendar needs the web address version of the feed. This is usually the step people get stuck on, because the subscribe button handles it for you in every other app and Google is the one that wants the address pasted in by hand.
- Open Google Calendar on a desktop browser. The mobile app cannot add a calendar by URL, though it will show one you added on desktop.
- In the left sidebar, find Other calendars and click the plus sign next to it.
- Choose From URL.
- Paste this address:
https://bonniesorsby.com/wp-json/seo-agent/v1/transits.ics - Click Add calendar. It appears in your sidebar as Bonnie Sorsby, Transit Calendar.
To take only some event types, add them to the end of the address, separated by commas. The four values are lunation, eclipse, ingress and station. So retrogrades and eclipses only would be https://bonniesorsby.com/wp-json/seo-agent/v1/transits.ics?types=station,eclipse.
Google refreshes subscribed calendars on its own schedule, which is typically somewhere between a few hours and a day. There is no way to force it from your end, so a new date that has not appeared yet will usually turn up within the day.
How to Add Astrology Transits on Android
Android has no way to add a calendar by URL on the phone itself, which is a Google restriction and not something any astrology site can work around. The route is to add it once in Google Calendar on a desktop browser using the steps above, and it then syncs down to your Android phone on its own.
If it does not appear straight away, open the Google Calendar app, go to Settings, and check the calendar is ticked under your account. Newly added subscriptions are sometimes switched off by default on the phone.
How to Add Astrology Transits to Apple Calendar
Apple Calendar handles the subscribe button directly, so this is the quickest of the three.
- On an iPhone or iPad, open the transit calendar page, tick the event types you want, and tap Subscribe. iOS opens the Calendar app and asks you to confirm.
- On a Mac, you can do the same, or use File, then New Calendar Subscription, and paste the address above.
- In the dialog that appears, set Auto-refresh to daily or weekly. The default of every five minutes is more often than the feed changes.
How to Add Astrology Transits to Outlook
Outlook calls this subscribing from the web, and it lives in slightly different places depending on which version you have.
- In Outlook on the web, open Calendar, then Add calendar in the left sidebar.
- Choose Subscribe from web.
- Paste the address above, give it a name, and click Import.
Subscribe or Download the Astrology Calendar
The calendar page gives you two buttons and they do genuinely different things, which is worth understanding before you pick one.
Subscribe creates a live link. Your calendar checks back periodically and picks up whatever has changed, so the dates keep extending forward without you doing anything. This is the one you probably want.
Download file gives you a one-time snapshot of the next twelve months as a file you import. The events are yours permanently and they never update, which suits you if you would rather not have anything phoning home, or if you want to edit the entries yourself. You would need to download it again next year.
How Accurate Are These Dates
Every entry carries a degree and a minute. The new moon on November 9 arrives in your calendar as 16 degrees 53 minutes of Scorpio, and a retrograde station gives you the exact degree the planet turned. Each moment is calculated for that event on its own, which is where the precision comes from.
Times are published in UTC and your calendar app converts them, so the date you see is right for wherever you are. That matters more than it sounds. A station at 02:40 UTC on the sixteenth is the fifteenth in New York, and a calendar that publishes one fixed zone will usually get that wrong for most of the people reading it.
One honest note on stations. The moment a planet turns retrograde is the softest figure in any ephemeris, because its apparent speed often sits near zero for days on either side. The date holds. The minute can vary between sources, and anyone quoting a station to the second is selling you false precision.
What Each Transit Entry Links To
Every event in the feed carries a link back to the relevant post, so tapping an entry in your calendar can take you straight to what that transit means instead of leaving you holding a name and a date. A new moon opens the post for that new moon, so a Gemini full moon opens the Gemini full moon post, and a retrograde station opens the post for that retrograde.
Where a specific post does not exist yet, the link runs a search on the site so you still land somewhere useful. I am steadily filling those in, so more of them resolve directly over time.
Is There a Personal Astrology Transit Calendar?
A personal astrology transit calendar means something more specific than the one you just subscribed to, and people search for both without always meaning the same thing.
The calendar above is the sky. Every person who subscribes to it gets identical entries, because the Moon is full at the same moment for all of us. A personal transit calendar is the next layer: one that knows your chart, so it can tell you that this particular full moon lands in your tenth house, or that Saturn is currently sitting on your Venus.
Most of the options for that are paid, and several of them are slow. You buy a custom file generated from your birth data and it arrives by email some days later, covering a fixed twelve months. When the year is up you buy another one. Others send a daily email you have to read on their schedule instead of checking when you want.
The way I would put it together costs nothing on the calendar side and keeps the personal layer live. Subscribe to the free feed above for the dates, then use your own chart to check any of those dates against your placements whenever a calendar entry catches your eye. No waiting, no expiry, and you can look ahead as far as you like instead of being limited to whatever window somebody generated for you.
The Calendar Shows the Sky, Your Chart Shows Where It Lands
One honest limit. This calendar shows the sky, which is where all astrology starts, and the sky is the same for everyone looking at it. It does not know your chart, so it cannot tell you that Tuesday’s full moon might be landing in your tenth house, or sitting right on your Venus.
That part needs your own chart alongside it, and the two work well together: the calendar tells you when, your chart tells you where it lands for you. If what you are really after is a personal astrology transit calendar, one that knows your houses and your placements, that is the combination that gets you there.
The calendar gives you the date. Your Beautiful Birth Chart gives you the rest of it: your placements by sign and house, every aspect with its orb, and date navigation so you can type in any transit from your calendar and see exactly what it touches in your own chart.
Astrology Calendar Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add astrology transits to Google Calendar?

Is the astrology transit calendar free?
Yes. There is no charge and no account needed. You can subscribe to the live feed or download a file, and neither asks you for anything.
Will it clutter my calendar?

Does the calendar update automatically?
If you subscribe, yes. The feed is set to refresh every forty eight hours and your calendar app checks in on its own schedule. If you download the file instead, it is a fixed snapshot of twelve months and never changes.
What is the difference between subscribing and downloading?
