Long Void of Course – Last Night into today – All Day
I cannot describe all of the ins-and-outs of a Void of Course period. I will leave it to Judith Aurora Ryan who published a website dedicated to documenting them. The website is linked below. The article about VOid of Course is printed here.
From Judith Aurora Ryan

“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:
1. Submit your resume for a new job, either by e-mail or snail mail.
2. Be interviewed for a new job or do a business presentation.
3. Start a new job.
4. Hold company meetings.
5. Make purchases.
6. Do not negotiate prices, test drive a vehicle or drive it for the first time.
7. Make an investment or open a new bank account.
8. Call on clients.
9. Start legal proceedings against someone.
10. Go on a first date.
11. Get engaged or married.
12. Have elective surgery.
13. Open a business.
14. Host a party or social affair.
15. Gamble or start a trip to a gaming facility.
Some Examples of Do’s during a Void of Course Moon:
1. Prayer and meditation.
2. Sleep and dream.
3. Non-material matters.
4. Let someone start proceedings AGAINST you in court.
5. End a relationship or get divorced.
6. Close doors to end business.
To achieve greater success in all your endeavors please consider using this beneficial astrological tool in timing things in your life. The advantages of knowing when the Moon is Void of Course or not will help you on the road to the realization of your dreams.
Moon Conjunct the Black Moon
For information about the Black Moon, I direct you to Laura Walker’s website www.oraclereport.com. You can downlowd her definitive book on the subject of the Astrology of the Black Moon.
If you follow the Black Moon, you know that you should pay attention when the Moon is either Conjunct or in Opposition to the Black Moon. Specifically, when the Moon is in the same sign and opposing sign as the Black Moon.
Presently, The Black Moon is in Virgo 16 degrees to be exact. 16 VIRGO: children crowd around the orangutan cage in a zoo.
The shadow side of Virgo is the fear of failure. So while the Moon is in Virgo (and Pisces) this energy is activated. And most specifically while the moon is within 5 degrees of the Black Moon. This is for everyone. For people whose Natal Black Moon is also either in Virgo or Pisces, this energy is especially affecting you.
These are heavy energies. And happening together. SO their effects can be amplified. Over the course of today, the Moon will be making exact conjunction with the Black Moon.
Fireworks Exploding
Since Early Thursday, the sun has been blasting some additional energy into the system. We have seen 3 consecutive X class flares over a 24 hour period – one of which was the strongest we have seen since about 2014. None produced a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection), but all sent proton energy which has caused electrical anomalies around the globe.
Moon is Full Saturday Morning
While all this lunar energy is amped up, also take note that at 7:30 AM Saturday, the Moon will be Full.
I often use the analogy of surfing to help describe the effects of astrological energy. Each of these influences are adding to the energy around us. In surfing, it would be like a high tide, storms out to sea swelling the surf and a rip tide all together. Multible energies coming from different directions. If you are not aware of them, they could overwhelm you. If you are, there is a chance you can figure them out and catch a pretty wild ride.
Lots to digest. Pay Attention!
