Void-of-Course Moon in Astrology

The Void of Course Moon is a common phenomenon in astrology. It is the period when the Moon makes a final contact or aspect with another planet while in a particular zodiac sign just prior to entering the next sign. No lunar aspects occur as the Moon courses from one zodiac sign to the next on the zodiacal ecliptic, and the Moon, in this period of time, is called the Void of Course Moon.

The Void of Course Moon is believed to be not conducive to anything auspicious or productive. When the Moon is Void of Course, it renders delusion in life on Earth, and slows progress, if not completion, of any matter commenced. The matter will go on forever, in perpetuity without reaching completion. Plans will fall apart, one’s discretion will be poor, and perceptions will be unreliable.

The Void of Course Moon is only a matter of hours when the Moon lets go of all lunar aspects with other planets and shifts signs. The Moon takes a complete revolution about the Earth in approximately 28 days as it passes through the twelve zodiac signs. This means that the Moon transits from one zodiac sign to the next in two to three days, i.e., the Void of Course Moon occurs every two to three days.
