I don’t sign contracts or conduct initial contacts during a void of course moon.  To me, it’s a good time to take a breather on those activities for the few minutes or hours until when the moon is out of void. The void-of-course period of the Moon is the period of time from the moment the Moon makes the last contact with any planet in the current Sign of the Zodiac, and until it enters the next sign. The void-of-course period can be very short, only a few minutes, but it can also be very long, about two days.  Here’s a Universal Lunar Calendar that shows it.   So what does the void of course Moon have to do with my daily life?   

The Meaning of the Void-of-Course Moon
In Horary Astrology, we are looking at contacts with planets which the Moon is going to make before it leaves the sign it is in. Those aspects tell us what is going to happen about the situation in question. But if the Moon is void-of-course, i.e. it isn’t going to contact any planets before the end of the story, then the only possible answer is that nothing is going to happen. So if a person asked “will I get married,” the answer nothing will happen will be perceived as negative, but if someone was worried and asked “will I get fired?” then the answer nothing will happen will be perceived as positive.

Similarly, in daily life void-of-course periods aren’t necessarily bad. We just need to keep these words in mind: nothing is going to happen during the period, and then see if this result desirable for us or not.

Not so long ago, I found an article by Estelle Daniels in the old 1997 Llewellyn’s Moon Sign Book. The article is titled Using the Void-of-Course Moon, and it offers some great ideas and examples. Quoting from this article, “During a void Moon you should not sign a contract, make plans, close a deal, or start a project. Basically anything which you want to have a concrete real-world result should not be started, signed or sealed. If you do, these things will never get off the ground, never materialize, have to be re-done, or have so many problems and setbacks as to be useless.  On the other hand, if you want to drop a bombshell, and yet have fewer repercussions in the long run, during the void-of-course Moon is the time to do it.”  Entire article here.
