The Long Void – Aries to Taurus
Today between 5:19 AM EST and 10:33 PM the Moon will be void of course. I try to note these times with each day’s report. As the moon travels through a zodiac sign every couple days, the end of that time will have a void. Judith Aurora Ryan has a website dedicated to explaining Voids of Course. Please see her explanation below:
from https://www.astrologybyjudithryan.com/void-of-course-moon-info
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.
Paying attention to the Voids is part of esoteric astrology that most people do not see. I like to think of Moon Voids as being like Mini-Mercury-Retrogrades. Much of what happens is the same. The energy slightly shifts during each specific zodiac sign:
Aries – Restlessness
Taurus – Laziness and sloth
Gemini – Anxiety
Cancer – emotional needing a break and comfort
Leo – time to be playful
Virgo – Want to finish tasks unfinished, but require breaks
Libra – Needs peace and quiet
Scorpio – break from intensity
Sagittarius – time for themselves
Capricorn – finish goals and plans
Aquarius – crave independence
Pisces – extra rest and solitude
These are the basic energies, which can be intensified for people whose natal signs are in aspect. And then do not forget the influence of the black moon as well.
Understanding astrology aspects requires taking a lot of different factors into account. For me, who studies it every day, it is daunting. But paying attention to it can help.
