Astro-Advisories
For the time of Capricorn
Home, Family, and Private Life

• Future plans that affect family concerns are highlighted, but "going nowhere" practical for a while.

• Focus on how to bring more of your spiritual life and personal beliefs into your private world ... and live life YOUR WAY!!

• They say charity begins at home. This is especially true now.

Have You Heard of This Thing
Called the Void of Course Moon?

Has the beginning of this year felt unusually sluggish and unfocused to you? It certainly has to me. I don't mean it's been lacking in effort and pressure. You may be coping with plenty of that. But there's also been a "thick" feeling you may have had to struggle against, as if you can't get organized, can't concentrate well, can't really "get your act together." Here in the United States especially, the first five days of the new year brought us three with significant void of course Moon periods during our normal waking hours.

If you recognize this "swimming against the tide" sensation I'm writing about, this is what void-of-course Moon energy feels like!! Not exactly sleepy, and yet strangely befogged, drifty and frustrating. You pick out a project to work on ... and you can't find a good starting place. You try to make progress on something ... and your plans fall apart. You think you're getting somewhere -- and the next day, you make different decisions and wind up undoing much of what you accomplished the day before.

As I said, this is void of course Moon energy at its finest. Not much fun, I agree -- if you've got something important on your agenda. But that, right there, is the key to solving the v/c Moon dilemma. If you've got any sense ... or any control over your day's schedule and activities, you don't try to do anything important, and you certainly don't start anything important when the Moon is void of course.

With just a little practice, you can learn what this energy feels like, even without an Astrological Calendar to confirm your suspicions. But it certainly helps to have one, so you can check to see when the coast will be clear again ... and when the next "down-time" is scheduled in the cosmic cycle.

Knowing when the void-of-course Moon slices occur throughout the week is an absolutely essential part of my life. Has been for years. And you will save yourself tons of aggravation and futile effort if you'll just integrate this into your own way of working with the world.

Void-of-course Moon time is a wonderful opportunity to catch up on your "routine stuff" ... or your rest. It's a great chance to settle back, listen to your own thoughts and find your personal center again while you wait for Life to show you what it has in mind next on your agenda.

This is honest-to-goodness how Life is designed to work. We've lost track of it somehow in our technological sea of gadgets, man-made calendars and rush-around-like-an-idiot schedules. We feel we have to fill up every moment God sends with something constructive. And so we try.

The time of the sign change, as the void-of-course period passes and the Moon moves into the next segment of its journey, always brings lots better focus and momentum. It's like waiting for traffic to clear before you try to cross the street. No kidding, sometimes it's exactly like that.

So, if you already know about the perils and pleasures of Void-of-Course Moon energy, you understand what I mean. If this is a new notion to you, find out more about it here.

The Void-of-Course Moon

Here at the beginning of a brand new year, while they're still available, for heaven's sake, get yourself an Astrological Calendar ... and use it, for this, if nothing else. Personally, I love The Pocket Astrologer by Jim Maynard. They're available at Amazon now. At last!! (Getting your hands on one can be a yearly aggravation. They're wonderful. The supplies are limited, and believe me, they disappear fast!!)

There's an Eastern Time edition and a Pacific Time edition ... so make sure you know what you're getting and that you've asked for the appropriate one. Those of us in the Central and Mountain time zones have to "adjust" the time backwards or forwards to be on track, but it's a small thing to remember. Llewellyn also puts out an astrological calendar, but I honestly haven't looked at one of theirs in years. It might appeal to you though. Just FYI.

Also, check with your local metaphysical bookstore. They should have them, too. Believe me, it's the best seven bucks you'll spend all year to make your life easier. Mine is always a well-worn and tattered mess by the end of the year.

And if you just need a "quick check" on the day -- or to make sure you aren't running afoul of things when making appointments or plans, you can check this link on our site. It's the daily horoscope calendar -- with information for the week ahead. I include v/c Moon information there, too. Also New Moon and Full Moon information.

The Flow of Life

If you have a The Pocket Astrologer or equivalent though (and can lay your hands on it. Always a challenge around here!!), you really only need the site listings as an emergency back-up. But it's there.

Anyway, we're out of the woods on this matter for a little while. The next real speed-bump on the road is on the 17th when the Moon is void from 1:23 in the afternoon (MT) until 11:17 that night. But that's also on a Sunday -- which makes it perfect for a lazy Sunday lunch and dinner, time to read or watch videos, time to tidy up the house ... or heck, time to snuggle with your Sweetie. (See, there's lots of good things to do with a void of course Moon besides beat your head against the celestial stone wall.)

There's also lots going on in the sky right now, so I'll be back soon with something else to talk about. (I just have to choose a topic ... and let my fingers do the typing!!) But I did want to say a few words about this v/c Moon stuff because it has been so prominent lately, unless you've been marinating yourself in Novocaine, you have to have noticed it. That's what it feels like. So you can teach yourself to recognize the energy when it happens again. And it will.

Daily Lunar Horoscope Forecast for Thursday 7th of January 2010

(Date and Times are based on Mountain Standard Time.
Look at Denver at The World Clock - Time Zones
to see what time it is now where we are.)

From 1:35 AM:
You're looking for companionship, the chance to share time with a partner or loved one, and more of the support and cooperation that add value to your relationships, but partners are wrapped up in other things. They may be deep into business issues, worried about security or status, involved with finances, or just plain not around.

For sure this can be a lonely moment ... but that's all it is. Just a moment. As with all things, this, too, shall pass. Hang in there.

From 3:39 AM:
A tender, sociable mood that longs for the company of loved ones and the intimacy of partners clashes now with "all the work there is to do." It may create a vacillating humor as you try to enjoy the presence of other people while timesharing this with a stern, organizational attitude that wants a lot of structure, order, and everything just so!!

In the end, you may not find satisfaction from either effort, but the fact is, you're only one person. Trying to fill the role of both loving partner and chief-in-charge of making things happen is a lot to expect from yourself -- at any time.

From 4:34 AM:
It's appreciation time. Put yourself and your special talents onstage. Take the lead on whatever projects await your attention ... and show off as only you can. Partners are ready to be impressed. So is your adoring public, if you want to carry things to a wider audience. Step up and be yourself. The world is your play-mate. Enjoy!!

From 5:35 PM:
This highly cerebral combination offers the chance for some creative planning that can have unexpectedly pleasant long-range results.

From 11:07 PM:
The mood is sociable, friendly and cooperative. Partners are ready for pleasant talks, pleasant times and teamwork. Discuss how you can work together to build a better future, custom-design the life you want to share and work on your long-cherished, long-term dreams. The ideas you'll come up with now are rich with possibility. Don't let this treasure go to waste.
