Valliere's Calendars
Use the strongest, most reliable Sun-Moon cycles to put balance into your life
For 30 years Jim Valliere painstakingly observed the daily ebb and flow of all the planets and their effect on human life. Over this time he found that by far the strongest effects -- the ones that outdo all the others -- are those that come from the yearly interweaving of Sun and Moon cycles. To make this information easily usable in everyday life, he has put it into handy calendar form.
For 2012 you can choose from three Valliere's calendars:
The Tranquility Calendar
The information in the 2012 Tranquility calendar is similar to what was in Valliere’s 2011 Best Days, Best Hours calendar. However, in 2012 the emphasis is on creating a serene and stress-free life.
As in last year’s calendar, the 2012 calendar lists all the best “Activity” days and hours for starting new ventures and moving forward with important actions.
This year, however, there is a separate “Tranquility” column that specifies the best hours every day for achieving maximum results in yoga, meditation and other forms of relaxation. Following Valliere’s further research, the relaxation hours shown for 2012 have been refined, so that, unlike last year’s, they change according to the lunar phase. This, Valliere has found, has led to deeper levels of relaxation and meditation.
To create the most serene mood possible, the 2012 Valliere’s Tranquility Calendar has been re-designed with an all-new layout and sublime nature photographs by Brooks Mathewson. There is also a new introduction, describing the research behind the calendar and the most effective ways to make use of its information.
The 2012 Valliere’s Tranquility Calendar is recommended for use throughout the continental U.S., southern Canada, and northern Mexico between the latitudes of 25 and 50 degrees north. It does not require precise timing, but should you live at the far edge of the recommended geographical area it includes directions for making appropriate time corrections when needed.
“The photographs are awesome!!! And so informative on the information regarding rest, relaxation, and the position of the moon.”
The 2012 Valliere’s Tranquility Calendar is available for $9.95. It will be e-mailed to you as a PDF file which you can view, print and also give freely to your friends. Buy Now
The Birdwatcher's Calendar
New this year, Valliere’s Birdwatcher’s Calendar 2012 combines superb bird photographs by Brooks Mathewson with a listing of the best times of day to see birds in the wild. Valliere’s observations have shown that the hours when birds are most likely to be out and feeding and readily visible are essentially the same as the “Tranquility” hours. In addition, the best days for viewing birds depend on the declination of the Moon. With the Birdwatcher’s Calendar you will be able to plan your birding expeditions for maximum success.
Like the Tranquility calendar, the Birdwatcher’s Calendar is recommended for use throughout the continental U.S., southern Canada, and northern Mexico between the latitudes of 25 and 50 degrees north. For those living at the far reaches of the recommended area, it includes directions for making appropriate time corrections when needed.
“I never knew that there were better times than others to see birds. The calendar is lovely, and the information too!”

The Birdwatcher's Calendar, Audubon Edition
Valliere’s Birdwatcher’s Calendar, Audubon Edition contains exactly the same information as the regular edition of the Birdwatcher’s Calendar, except that it illustrated with color engravings from John James Audubon’s historic work Birds of America. These have been newly photographed by Brooks Mathewson from the 19th century originals in the Boston Public Library.
