Playful Planet Calendar

Since ever, the cycles of planetary movements, that keep us in our magical dance of seasons and reoccurring natural events, have been captivating humanity’s imagination…

I wanted to explore the yearly cyclicality in illustrations for you to feel a sense of connection with the timeless experience of the natural cycle. I wanted to capture the tiny but wholesome excitement of these little events we like to celebrate, for them to not go by unnoticed as we rush through our endless to-do lists…I hoped to help you connect with the natural world and planetary movements, as well as notice the similarities between astronomy, astrology, folklore and world religions & their celebrations. The stories we tell ourselves about the seasonal passage of time are universal indeed and I find them fascinating.

There are two different wall calendar sizes available:

Both include:

the monthly illustrations, full and new moons, solstices and equinoxes, zodiac seasons, as well as automatically added holidays of the country of your order.

The large one additionally includes:

the origin on month names, as well as the descriptions of symbols found in the monthly illustrations, for a greater understanding of the folklore, natural events and cultural interpretations behind each month’s illustration.

They are printed on demand to avoid leftover stock and shipped by a local facility closest to your order, to shorten their travel distance and lessen their environmental imprint. It also allows me a much needed break over the festive season.
