How to Use the Void-of-Course Moon

Take time out

Sooo, what can you do while the Moon is void-of-course ... besides stay under the covers and wait for deliverance??? Well, it's a good time to tend to routine chores, like cleaning, filing, sorting, organizing, minor maintenance work -- things that if they get done, great!! But if they don't get done until "later" ... it doesn't really matter.

Be patient ... and be still

When the Moon is void-of-course, drift, muse, and look inward. Open yourself to creative new possibilities and inspirations you can act on later when things realign themselves and you can evaluate your ideas rationally.

Brainstorm on problems; do free-flow journal writing. Psychotherapy, creative visualization exercises, yoga, dream work, even taking a nap (so you can work on inner dream levels) are all fabulous things to do while the Moon is void-of-course.

Don't act. Don't decide. Don't initiate. Don't conclude. And don't expect anything to happen either.

Drift and dream

Reflect. Ponder. Mull. Contemplate. Speculate. Consider. Fantasize. Daydream. Assimilate. Ask "What if ...???" And let your mind wander where it will to bring you back answers and possibilities.

If you take these opportunities for the moments of limbo and re-centering they can be, you'll see the Moon void-of-course as a chance for some blessed down-time instead of just another rock in the road you have to get around.

Try it. It works.

The Void-of-Course Moon

* Let's Talk About This Thing Called the Void-of-Course Moon -- When You Wind Up Chasing Your Own Tail ---> When you just can't get it together -- Has the start of this year felt unusually sluggish and unfocused to you? It certainly has to me. I don't mean it's lacked effort and pressure. You may have plenty of that.

Get Yourself an Astrological Calendar -- If only to keep up with the void-of-course Moon!! ---> Days when nothing happens -- I know you've lived through days that seemed pointless, boring, unfocused, "blah," unproductive, completely devoid of action and excitement ... and when you seemed to just get nothing worthwhile accomplished. We all have. Days like that can be too frustrating to describe.

The Moon

A Day with No Lunar Aspects -- Not quite one thing ... not quite another ---> First things first -- To understand this article, you may need a little bit of background. First of all ... do you know about the Void-of-Course Moon? If so, great. Skip down and read on. If not, take a minute or two (honest, that's all you'll need) to read about it. However, you'll do yourself a favor if you really learn about the v/c Moon ... benefits way beyond the limits of this article. Start here:

* Major Aspects of the Moon ---> The Moon in its travels -- The Moon, in its travels around the earth, cycles through all twelve signs of the Zodiac every twenty-eight to thirty days. It changes signs about every two and a half days. In each new sign, the Moon forms angles with the other planets in the sky, angles which are occasionally quite significant (called major aspects) and which mark the ebb and flow of both easy and irritating moments in everyday life.

* The Moon in General -- Your Inner Self of Feelings, Emotions and Intuition ---> Welcome to your inner world -- In Astrology, The Moon represents our inner feelings, our emotions ... and our deep security needs. It reflects our basic habits, instincts and automatic reactions. It speaks to some elements of our Karma and childhood home, our upbringing, family background and specifically our relationship with our mother (or major mother figure from the past.)
