What is a Void of Course Moon? When the Moon is Void of Course it has passed its last major aspect to a Planet and has not yet entered the next Sign. This phenomena can occur for only a few minutes or it may last a day or two. It depends on the Sign the Moon is in and the Sign locations of the other Planets.
EFFECTS OF THE VOID OF COURSE MOON
What are the effects of a Void of Course Moon? There is a spacy mood in the atmosphere… a lack of mental clarity and feeling of being ‘disconnected.’ Activities initiated during the Void of Course Moon are often met with confusion and unexpected results that are not to our advantage.
During a Void of Course Moon, people lack a sense of direction and tend to make decisions that are off base and later need to be reevaluated. So it is wise to simply avoid starting something new in the outer world, although it is fine to take care of routine tasks and duties.
The best bet is to turn your attention inward during these times, as they are beneficial periods for self-reflection and personal growth. By writing in a journal or spending quiet time alone, profound revelations can occur that show you new visions of who you are and how your life is working. As effectiveness in the outer world temporarily closes, the door to the inner world opens and there is no limit to what we can see, learn and experience within ourselves.
The following are tips for how to best handle the Void of Course Moon according to your personal Sun Sign. If you do not know the sign of your Sun, click here for a free chart.
Rules of the road during a Void of Course Moon
Accept the fact that you may not be thinking clearly: your emotions are open and free, and not clearly focused on attaining any particular result in the outside world. You may feel spacey and undirected. It’s best to spend this time nurturing yourself: write in a journal, do quiet activities around the home, allow yourself to daydream, meditate and/or read something of a spiritual nature.
