The Moon is void of course from its last aspect in a sign until it enters the next sign. This can last a few minutes or most of a day.

Tradition holds that what is started in these hours does not come to much. The period is considered unsuitable for contracts, openings and first meetings. Work already under way is said to be unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a void-of-course Moon a bad time?

Tradition limits the caution to beginnings, not to the day as a whole. Continuing work, routine and rest are untouched by it.

How long does a void period last?

From a few minutes to most of a day. It depends entirely on how early the Moon's last aspect falls before it changes sign.

How often does it happen?

Roughly every two and a half days, because the Moon changes sign about that often and every sign change closes a window.

Does the void depend on where I am?

No. The Moon's aspects are the same sky everywhere, so the window is identical worldwide; only the clock time you read it in changes.
