The Void of Course Moon: Timing You Can’t Afford to Ignore
Here’s a little-known but highly valuable astrological phase for decision-makers: the Void of Course (VOC) Moon. So why do we need to pay attention to her energy?
In astrological terms, the Moon goes VOC when she makes no further Ptolemaic aspects — Conjunction (0°), Sextile (60°), Square (90°), Trine (120°), or Opposition (180°) — to any planet before moving into the next zodiac sign. It’s the point where the Moon’s “business” in that sign is complete.
Think of it as the Moon closing her office for a short break before moving on. This happens every 2.5 days, often for just minutes or a few hours — but sometimes much longer. During this time, new initiatives tend to lose traction, get forgotten, or quietly dissolve.
In practical terms, the VOC Moon is the wrong moment to:
Launch a product or service
Pitch an idea or negotiate a deal
Send press releases, proposals, or important follow-up emails
Schedule high-stakes meetings, job interviews, or first dates
Why? In astrology, the VOC Moon translates to: “Nothing will come of it.” Actions taken under this influence often fail to produce lasting results, even if they seem promising at the time.
For sales teams, investors, marketers — or anyone whose success depends on well-timed moves — knowing these windows can prevent wasted effort and missed opportunities.
The Void of Course Moon isn’t based on superstition — it’s a precision-timing tool that’s been observed for centuries by astrologers, traders, and strategists. Knowing these windows can help you avoid wasted effort and place your energy where it will have the greatest impact. I track these periods myself if I have something important to do and delay where possible. As do my clients who value timing as much as strategy.
