Moon Void of Course

There will be times in the journey of the moon when it has touched the final planet in the sign it is passing through on it’s orbit through the zodiac, but, has not yet contacted the first planet of the next zodiac sign on this pathway. These times are referred to as “Void Of Course” and it is thought that actions taken during a void course will invariably need to be undone or completely re-done.

This does not make this lunar eccentricity utterly useless, many find these moments in the lunar pathway to be a most excellent time to return those calls to business or social associations you don’t really want to further, or to initiate plans for projects you really don’t want to see completed without appearing openly uncooperative. In short, the moon’s Void of Course seems to be the universe’s version of “crossed fingers”. Lunar Voids of Course happen just prior to the moon entering a new astrological sign and generally don’t last for much more than the last few hours out of every sign the moon transits.
