The Sun through the zodiac in 2028
The dates the zodiac signs begin in 2028 – the moment the Sun crosses a sign boundary. The boundaries shift by about a day from year to year, so being born on the cusp is not folklore but arithmetic: check yourself against the table.
| Starts | Sun sign | How long | Chart of the Sky |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aquarius The month of the collective: friends, communities, technology and plans ahead | 30 days to | ||
| Pisces The month of letting go: summing up, rest, intuition and closing the cycle | 30 days to | ||
| Aries the spring equinox Day and night are equal; astronomical spring begins. The starting month: easier to begin, harder to wait | 30 days to | ||
| Taurus The steady month: the body, money, taste and things you can hold | 31 days to | ||
| Gemini The information month: conversations, short trips, study, many small threads | 31 days to | ||
| Cancer the summer solstice The longest day of the year and the start of astronomical summer. The month of home and your own people: care, family, roots, inner footing | 31 days to | ||
| Leo The month of being seen: creative work, children, celebration and attention | 31 days to | ||
| Virgo The month of order: health, routine, work and clearing the backlog | 31 days to | ||
| Libra the fall equinox Day equals night again; astronomical fall begins. The month of relationships: agreements, partnership, beauty and balance | 30 days to | ||
| Scorpio The month of depth: honesty, crises, other people's resources, reworking the old | 30 days to | ||
| Sagittarius The month of horizon: travel, meaning, learning, believing in something large | 30 days to | ||
| Capricorn the winter solstice The longest night, and the turn back toward longer days. The month of results: status, discipline and long projects | 29 days to |

Sign changes by sign in 2028
A sign change changes the manner, not the theme. Mars is still Mars, but in Aries it acts head-on and in Pisces it takes the roundabout route. 37 sign changes across 7 planets this year.
| When | What happens | Stays for | Chart of the Sky |

Retrograde Planets in 2028
A retrograde is an optical effect: from Earth a planet appears to move backward across the sky. The practical meaning turns with it: the planet's theme works inward and backward, not direct. Turning retrograde in 2028: Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron.
Deadlines drift, devices act up, and agreements are worth re-reading and saying out loud twice.

What the shadow period is and why it matters
Before it turns, a planet covers a stretch of zodiac going forward. Then it comes back over it. Then it crosses a third time, forward again. Those three passes are the full cycle: whatever surfaces during the retrograde has usually already been flagged on the first pass, and closes for good on the third.
So \"Mercury retrograde from February 26\" means in practice that the oddities with deadlines and communication start earlier – from the moment Mercury first reached the degree of the coming station – and end later than the official date it turns direct.
The shadow boundaries are computed from the daily positions and refined to the minute; the stations themselves are exact to the second.
Eclipses in 2028
An eclipse is a new or full moon that lands close to the lunar nodes. It works like an ordinary lunation, only stronger and longer: the effect runs for months rather than a day. Where you can, don't rush anything final – the picture is still moving.
Lunar Eclipse in Cancer
- Type
- Partial
- Degree
- 21°34′08″ Cancer
- Magnitude
- 0,067
An amplified full moon: whatever ripened becomes visible in full. The tone is set by Cancer – gently, by mood, and closer to home.
Solar Eclipse in Aquarius
- Type
- Annular
- Degree
- 6°10′49″ Aquarius
- Magnitude
- 0,921
An amplified new moon: the point a new storyline starts from. The tone runs unconventionally, independently, with the group in mind.
Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn
- Type
- Partial
- Degree
- 15°16′09″ Capricorn
- Magnitude
- 0,390
An amplified full moon: whatever ripened becomes visible in full. The tone is set by Capricorn – with discipline, for the long haul, by the rules.
Solar Eclipse in Cancer
- Type
- Total
- Degree
- 29°50′30″ Cancer
- Magnitude
- 1,056
An amplified new moon: the point a new storyline starts from. The tone runs gently, by mood, and closer to home.
Lunar Eclipse in Cancer
- Type
- Total
- Degree
- 10°35′13″ Cancer
- Magnitude
- 1,247
An amplified full moon: whatever ripened becomes visible in full. The tone is set by Cancer – gently, by mood, and closer to home.
Magnitude is how much of the disc is covered: above one means a total eclipse. Whether you can see it depends on where you are – the table gives the astronomical moment of maximum in Eastern Time.
New and Full Moons 2028
The lunar month is the shortest working cycle in astrology: you plan from the new moon, and you see the result by the full moon. 2028 has 25 new and full moons in all.

The first and last quarters are not in this table; you can see them in the monthly calendar, together with the exact times of every phase. A page of their own, with nothing else on it – new and full moons 2028. The folk names for full moons come from farming tradition, not astrology, but people look them up often enough that they are here.
Major aspects 2028
An aspect is an exact angle between planets. Here you get only the angles between the outer planets, from Jupiter outward: those build over weeks and months, so they describe a whole year rather than a single day. The fast aspects of the Moon, Mercury and Venus are in the monthly calendar.

Frequently asked questions about 2028
When is Mercury retrograde in 2028?
In 2028 Mercury is retrograde 3 times: January 24 – February 14; May 21 – June 14; September 19 – October 11. Eastern Time.
How many eclipses are there in 2028, and when?
2028 has 5 eclipses: January 11 – lunar eclipse in Cancer, January 26 – solar eclipse in Aquarius, July 6 – lunar eclipse in Capricorn, July 21 – solar eclipse in Cancer, December 31 – lunar eclipse in Cancer.
Why are your zodiac sign dates a day off from other sites?
The Sun crosses a sign boundary at a specific minute, and that minute is different every year. If a site publishes in Universal Time and you are reading Eastern Time, the date can shift by a day. We show Eastern Time and give you a switch in the header: you can see the same event in UT or in your own zone.
What is the little chart next to each row?
It is the chart of the sky at the exact moment of the event: where the Sun, Moon and planets stood that minute and what angles they made. Normally you would have to build that by hand in dedicated software – here it opens in one click from any row of the table.
How does the yearly calendar differ from the monthly one?
The yearly one answers what is coming at all: eclipses, retrogrades, planets changing signs. The monthly one answers what is happening today: the Moon's aspects, void-of-course windows, the daily ephemeris and every day in detail.
How accurate are the dates?
Every date is computed from the NASA JPL ephemerides JPL DE440 and verified to the second.
