The Moon is Void of Course when it makes its last major aspect to any of the major planetary bodies. That’s the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The traditional counsel is to avoid beginning new activities, sending out job applications or other important documents, meeting new people, launching a new project, starting a new venture, making an important announcement, anything you want to be of consequence.
Activities you’d want to do during the VOC Moon are: yoga, meditation, dreaming imagining and drifting, re-organizing, getting a bird’s eye view of things, draining the swamp, clean and tidy up, process, recoup and regroup.
Though much of this traditional counsel has borne out in my personal experience, I actively encourage experimentation. The VOC Moon only begins with the last major aspect the Moon makes to any of the outer or inner planets. That means no dwarf planets or asteroids are taken into consideration, nor are inconjuncts, semi-sextiles, or other minor angular aspects. Try conducting a tradtionally unrecommended activity for a VOC Moon period when the Moon is VOC and note what happens. We are standing alongside thousands of years of observation, but that doesn’t preclude exploration and new frontiers, especially considering the singularly profound precipice we are occupying in the history of the earth.
