Understanding Moon Phases
The Moon completes its cycle every 29.5 days, moving through eight distinct phases. Each phase carries its own energetic signature that influences our emotions, decisions, and activities. By aligning your actions with the lunar cycle, you can work with natural rhythms rather than against them.
What is Void-of-Course Moon?
The Moon is said to be void-of-course (VOC) when it has made its last major aspect to another planet before changing signs. This period, which can last from minutes to over a day, is traditionally considered unfavorable for starting new projects, making important decisions, or signing contracts. Activities begun during VOC periods may not produce the expected results.
