MOON VOID OF COURSE
DEFINITION
The Moon makes one revolution around planet Earth from New Moon to New Moon in 29 days, 12 hours and 43 minutes and 11.5 seconds. As it is moving around in its orbit, it appears to travel through the 12 zodiacal signs which form a backdrop for planetary motion. It also forms different angles with other planets in the Solar System. In astrology, these angles are called aspects. Moon Void-of-Course is a period when the Moon makes no major aspects or angles to other planets, in the sign it is in, until it moves into the next sign. It appears to change zodiacal signs about every 2-1/2 days creating frequent void periods. It is often only a matter of a few minutes, or it may occur in the middle of the night, or on a weekend when it doesn't matter as much as during the business week. Sometimes we get several in a row that last most of a day. This depends upon the placement of the other planets with which the Moon could potentially make aspects.
INTERPRETATION AND USE
A Void period is a time when there is no developmental energy to bring matters to fruition that are initiated during this period. If significant matters are undertaken during a Void period something invariably happens to create a problem or dissatisfaction. Sometimes mistakes show up, someone changes his/her mind, or there is a flaw in the contract being signed or item being purchased. I would surely not buy something mechanical during this period, such as a car, a home appliance, or even a computer. I would even prefer to avoid starting a major trip on a void period, unless all arrangements are triple checked and baggage is double tagged! Errors often turn up or bags turn up a day or two after you have arrived at your destination. I once arrived at the airport only to discover that my reservation was not in the computer any longer, although I had a confirmation number. I have also noticed that appointments made during a Void period often start late, are often cancelled, or someone is significantly late. It is an excellent period for contemplation, preparation, study, as well as ordinary routine matters. This is not to be used fanatically but only checked when it is deemed significant. A Celestial Calender showing Moon Void perids can be purchased at many astrology or metaphysical book stores. Calendars usually come out in late summer. The two most common publications are either the Llewellyn or Maynard version.For your easy reference I have printed below a list of Moon-Void periods for a 3-month period, for Mountain Time. Adjustments for other time zones should be made as follows: Pacific Time, subtract one hour. Central Time add one hour. Eastern Time add two hours. Daylight Savings periods are taken into consideration when applicable.
You will note that some months there are several longer Moon Void periods than usual. This is due to the position of all the other planets. This is not usually a concern when the long periods occur through the evening and night time hours. It can be annoying when these periods encompass a full business day. Remember though, that Moon void periods do not effect what we do as our daily routine.
