Moon Void of Course

A piece of the astrological puzzle that I have been looking for to be ale to publish with the daily reports is in the passing of the moon through the zodiac. This was something I used to follow on another site – (lunarium.co.uk)  Unfortunately Google somehow messed up their site and they have yet to rebuild this functionality.

But I found a new lunar ephemeris (which is a chart that tells me times and dates for things that change in the skies.

So, sach day I state the sign where the moon sits at 7:00 AM – the time I use to pull the chart for the day. Since the Moon moves faster than any other object within the chart, it has more noticeable affects. One of them is when it goes Void of Course.

The following explanation comes from Astrologer Al H. Morrison – As published by Judith Ryan. I did not write this, but thought it would help in understanding the Void of Course.

 “Every couple of days there comes a time which is best used to subjective, spiritual non-material concerns, like prayer, yoga, play, psychotherapy, or passive experience, sleep or meditation.

This period may last a few seconds, or it may be three days and nights in a single session.  It begins when the Moon in transit makes the last major aspect it will make before it changes from one sign of the Zodiac to the next.  It ends when the Moon enters the next sign. The name of this period is Void of Course Moon.  You may call it a silly season, or vacation from normal living.

Decision-making in such periods turns out later to be unrealistic. Creativity diverges into unplanned directions, improvisions, false starts, error. If you buy any object you never use it fully.  Enterprises founded while the Moon is Void of Course do fail after long and costly effort.  Human judgment is more fallible than usual during the time the Moon is Void of Course. This is the principle factor in all observed experience thus far.

Routine proceeds readily, but often requires an adjustment later. Defects or shortages come to light. Delay and frustration are commonly experienced while the Moon is Void of Course.”  The Moon is the fastest moving body in astrology. She spends about two and a half days in a sign.  After she forms her last aspect she is void until she enters the next sign.

Visualize any endeavor begun with it being stamped VOID in bold capital letters and you can grasp the importance of following the Void of Course Moon.  Having great aspects going on in your chart at the same time won’t save you either or bring success. Success or failure can result from the Moon being void or not.

The Moon rules our subconscious, emotions and feelings.  When she goes “void” this is experienced on a mass global level.  People are not tuned into reality 100%.  Often they are prone to be detached from reality, spacey, and feel unanchored.

Some Examples of Don’ts during a Void of Course Moon:
