Planet Sign Ingress Calendar
Looking for planet sign ingress dates — the exact moments each planet crosses from one zodiac sign into the next. This calendar lists every ingress across your date range, from the Moon's ingresses every couple of days to the outer planets' ingresses that only happen every few years.How it works ↓

An ingress is the moment a planet crosses from one zodiac sign into the next. This calendar lists every ingress across your date range, from the Moon's ingresses every two to three days to the outer planets' ingresses that mark years-long shifts.
An ingress is just a planet crossing a sign boundary
Every planet moves continuously along the zodiac, and an ingress is the specific moment it crosses out of one sign and into the next. It's a clean, calculable event — no interpretation needed to know when it happens, just an ephemeris.
This calendar lists every ingress for every planet in your date range in one place, instead of making you check each planet separately.
Speed varies enormously by planet
The Moon changes signs roughly every two and a quarter days, making it by far the most frequent ingress on this list. Mercury and Venus move at a similar pace to the Sun's roughly monthly sign changes, though both can slow down, stall, and even re-cross a boundary during a retrograde loop before finishing the crossing for good.
At the other end, the outer planets barely move within a human timescale — which is exactly why their ingresses stand out when they do happen.
Jupiter and Saturn are the ones people track for yearly themes
Jupiter spends about a year in each sign and Saturn about two and a half, which makes their ingresses the two most commonly watched for marking a shift in the year's or few years' general tone. Between the Moon's near-constant motion and the outer planets' near-stillness, these two sit in the sweet spot people actually plan around.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto mark generational shifts, not personal timing
Uranus takes about seven years to cross a single sign, Neptune around fourteen, and Pluto's pace varies by decades depending on where in its orbit it is. An ingress from one of these three is rare enough that it tends to define an era rather than a week — useful context, but not something to plan a specific date around.
No birth data needed
Ingress dates come from the planets' positions alone, so this calendar shows identical results to every visitor for the same date range. Birth data isn't part of this preset at all — it's a pure sky-timing list.
One tag inside the full transit calendar
For retrogrades, moon phases, and void-of-course windows alongside these ingresses, transit-calendar combines all four into a single view with every tag on. This preset is that same calendar narrowed to ingresses only.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a planetary ingress
The exact moment a planet moves from one zodiac sign into the next — a calculable astronomical event, not an interpretation.
How often does the Moon change signs
About every two and a quarter days, making it the fastest-moving planet on an ingress calendar by a wide margin.
Which planet ingresses matter most for tracking yearly themes
Jupiter and Saturn — Jupiter changes signs about once a year, Saturn about every two and a half years, both frequent enough to plan around but slow enough to define a real stretch of time.
