Void Moon Quick Reference by Sign
When Moon is void in any sign, the general void rules apply. The sign's energy becomes unfocused.
Understanding Void-of-Course Moon
A void-of-course Moon occurs when the Moon has made its last major aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, or opposition) to another planet before changing signs. During this period, the Moon is considered "between jobs" — directionless and unfocused.
Void Moon periods can last from a few minutes to over a day. While the Moon is void approximately every 2-3 days, the duration varies significantly based on the Moon's speed and the positions of other planets.
What to Avoid During Void Moon
New Beginnings
Starting projects, signing contracts, launching businesses, or making major purchases often "come to nothing" when started during void Moon.

Major Investments
Buying property, cars, or making significant financial commitments during void Moon can lead to buyer's remorse or unexpected issues.

FAQ
How often does the Moon go void-of-course?
The Moon goes void every 2-3 days as it moves through each zodiac sign. Some void periods last minutes, others can last 24+ hours.
Is void Moon always bad?
No! Void Moon is only problematic for new beginnings. It's excellent for rest, creativity, routine tasks, and spiritual work. Think of it as a cosmic pause button.
What if I already scheduled something important during void Moon?
Don't panic. If you scheduled it before the void Moon period, it's usually fine. The rule applies mainly to initiating new things during the void period. Also, sometimes circumstances force us to act — awareness is the key.
Does everyone believe in void-of-course Moon?
No. It's primarily used in horary astrology and electional astrology. Some modern astrologers don't emphasize it. Indian (Vedic) astrology uses different timing techniques entirely. Use it as a guideline, not a rigid rule.
