The Moon Void of Course is a time of drifting and dreaming and quiet contemplation… The Moon (the seat of our emotional needs) has completed its aspect “to-do” list, and will “hang out in the Void” in its current emotional phase, waiting to change signs. When the sign change comes, the new energy will be fresh and entirely different.
These phases can last between several minutes to over 24 hours in some cases, and they occur every couple of days. (See calendars below. The calendars also indicate the sign they are shifting to and will give you an idea of what the new energy is bringing. See the Lunar Needs article for more.)
[pullquote]Gotta do it now? Be prepared to stay on top of it to guide the outcome. [/pullquote]The key to working with this shifting energy is to know that things begun under a Void of Course Moon tend to fizzle out rather quickly. So, during these phases it’s best to do things that are self-reflective rather than promotive:
- edit your writing, don’t send it to the publisher;
- develop the product, don’t present it to the client;
- work on your resume, don’t go on the interview;
- talk on the phone, don’t go on the first date…
- consider what needs to be changed, don’t change it until the Moon changes signs.
Unless you’d rather it didn’t come to anything… (In which case Moon VOC is a great time to do things! Like sending in your taxes to avoid an audit, for example!) If you have to schedule things during these phases, be prepared to really stay on top of them to guide the outcome.
Ideally… we’d all sit and meditate under a tree during a VOC, but whose schedule allows for that? Fact is, we have to roll with what’s true in each moment, make a choice on how we will respond to what’s there, and take advantage, when we can, of these breaks when they show up.
See the Moon VOC calendar to which you can SUBSCRIBE if you use iCal here or see the images below for end of May through August 2013.
(Note, the Pink areas indicate when the Moon is VOC, so schedule things for outside of those times when possible.)

Always infinite possibilities… always your choice.
