How to Navigate Moon Void of Course: An Important Astrological Affliction

We strongly recommend that you avoid relying on only one or a few astrological or numerological considerations. A comprehensive approach involving multiple considerations is necessary for consistent levels of accuracy in delineation and prediction. However, since the Moon Void of Course is an important astrological affliction, you will benefit greatly even if it's the only astrological information you follow, as long as you realize that there are many other astrological and numerological indicators to consider.

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Following the Moon Void of Course cycles is easy and can
   save you time and money, yet few people are aware of
   this phenomenon and even many experienced astrologers
   overlook it. Since the moon is intimately connected to our
   intuition and instincts, following Moon VOC will help you
   make better choices in life. It’s been said that VOC is like
   driving through a tunnel where your antenna is unable to
   pick up the radio signals, or like being in a temporary
   vacuum, where perception is distorted.
   
   Moon Void of Course introduction:
   The following introduction about Moon VOC is extracted from
   pages 245-246 of "Your Love Life and Reincarnation" by
   Stephen Petullo.

   The Moon travels around the earth in about 28 days,
   spending about two and a half days in each of the 12
   zodiac signs. After the Moon leaves a sign and before
   it enters the next sign, it is called Void of Course.
   The Moon rules instinct and intuition. When the Moon
   is VOC, the energy flow available to all living things
   seems to slow down and our intuition is temporarily
   clouded. During a VOC it’s easy to be unrealistic or to
   perceive things differently than they really are. During
   this time people tend to feel scattered and unfocused.
   Time seems to drag on forever.
2. Knowing when the moon is Void of Course by checking the
   times in an astrological calendar can save you a lot of time,
   money, and effort. Follow them for a couple weeks, then
   don’t look at the calendar for a few days, then look back
   at those times later. You’ll find that even when you
   didn’t consciously know it was a VOC, things were still
   typical of a VOC. Moon VOC seems to affect everyone. Moon VOC
   can last from as little as 10 minutes to as long as two days.
   Moon VOC comprise, on average, about eight percent of the
   standard eight-to-five work week. Of course, it’s not always
   possible to schedule around these times, but it helps to be
   aware of the difficulties you may encounter.
3. During a Moon Void of Course, DO:
   • Routine work.
   • Meditate—this is a great time to go inward. You’ll be even
   more centered after the VOC.
   • Break bad habits—if you can refrain during a VOC, it will be
   easier to do so afterward.
   • Creative hobbies.
   • Routine cleaning.
   • Exercise.
   • Relax.
   
   During a Moon Void of Course, DON’T:
   • Make important plans—they’ll never happen or will happen
   differently than expected.
   • Brainstorm—new ideas never manifest or will backfire.
   • Start anything new—things initiated are never finished or
   take much longer than expected to complete. New
   acquaintances made are short-lived. If you meet someone
   during a VOC, the interaction will not be meaningless, but
   probably different than you expected.
   • Buy anything of importance—purchases made will never be
   used, will break down, or will have to be returned for unforeseen
   reasons.
   • Do anything that requires a lot of concentration—it will
   require a lot more of your energy. If you have no choice,
   meditate beforehand so you’ll be as centered as possible.
   • Schedule appointments: they will have to be changed or
   rescheduled—or you may get “stood up!”
   
   People who were born during a VOC may not be as affected or
   may be affected differently. Follow the cycles and observe
   for yourself.
   
   More about Moon Void of Course:
   We have observed and experimented with Moon VOC since
   the early 1990s. Below is some additional insight based on
   our experience:
   
   •We are always surprised when we talk with seasoned
   astrologer friends who ignore Moon VOC. To make any
   forecasting and planning advice from astrologers more
   valuable, such as when to begin something important,
   make sure you factor in Moon VOC. For example, if your
   advisor tells you to start a business on a certain day, make
   sure there isn’t a VOC when you plan to initiate things.
   •If you want to view the VOC phenomenon more clearly
   and test to see how accurate our claims are, observe other
   people’s actions during VOC. Without telling them about VOC,
   notice what they purchase, decisions they make, people
   they meet, plans they make, and things they start under a VOC.
   This is exactly the type of objective empirical research we've
   had success with.
   •Routine purchases during a VOC, such as weekly purchases
   at the grocery store, seem to be fine.

Tips & Warnings

• •When you meet someone new during a VOC, even if you realize it’s a VOC, your judgment about who they are will usually be off, and sometimes way off. •Perception of reality is skewed during a VOC. •Fears you have during a VOC often turn out to be unfounded. •Sunburn, over-eating, over-drinking, and over-spending are common. •Dreams, especially fearful ones, seem to have no real significance relating to our lives during VOC. For example, if your dream during a VOC featured signs that a friend is in danger, chances are that he or she is not. •We still test Moon VOC occasionally. For example, if we meet someone new during a VOC, we temporarily ignore the VOC, allow events to unfold naturally, and observe what happens. But we find that almost always VOC situations will yield VOC results, even when we didn’t realize it was a VOC. Moon Void of Course examples: You meet a new friend during a VOC. Even though you realize it’s a VOC, there seems to be nothing wrong with the connection and you can see a lot of potential between the two of you. After the VOC, you attempt to get together several times but your schedules never match and then a few weeks later your new friend tells you she’s moving out of town. In meditation during a VOC you get a great new idea for your business. After attempting to implement it several times, it just never works out and you realize that it may not be as good of an idea as you had originally thought. During a VOC you consider certain physical symptoms you’ve had recently and fear that you could have a serious illness. After a thorough check-up and tests with your doctor, you realize that your fears were unfounded; it was merely stress and a reaction to something you were eating. During a VOC you eat dinner at a restaurant and order something you usually don’t. Though it seemed like a good idea at the time, you experience indigestion. During a VOC you decide to get your hair cut in a new style. Later you realize it doesn’t look as good as you thought it would. You get dressed in the morning during a VOC and realize later what seemed like a great fashion choice was actually a fashion crime. The power goes out during a VOC after a major storm and you’re worried it could last for days. The power goes back on hour later. Moon Void of Course calendar is available in the Direct Your Destiny (tm) e-package.
• Although the Moon Void of Course is an important astrological affliction and tracking it can save you lots of time and give you more insight about life circumstances, it's important to take a comprehensive approach in delineation and prediction involving multiple (hundreds) indicators if you desire high levels of accuracy.
• The Moon VOC (and other afflictions), don't make things happen, they represent the energy of life circumstances, conditions, and events.
