Void Moon
A Void-of-Course Moon (often called a Void Moon) happens when the Moon makes its last major connection—like a conjunction, sextile, square, trine, or opposition—to another planet before it moves into the next zodiac sign.
After that final aspect, the Moon is essentially “off-duty.” It’s drifting without making any new significant connections until it enters a new sign.
Recently, because Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have shifted into new signs, the Moon often reaches this “off-duty” stage earlier than usual. This pattern often comes around every couple of years, and long Void periods—lasting more than 12 hours—aren’t too common.
Astrologers have observed for centuries that the Void Moon is a low-momentum period:
- Lack of Drive: With no new aspects to make, the Moon’s “story” for that cycle is already complete. There’s no natural push to get things started.
- Plans That Don’t Stick: Deals, decisions, or purchases made during a Void Moon often stall, change direction, or end up being redone.
- Scattered Focus: The Moon influences our everyday actions and emotions. During this time, attention wanders, details get overlooked, and follow-through can be weak.
The old astrological saying sums it up: “Nothing will come of the matter.”
While it’s wise to avoid launching important projects or making big commitments during a Void Moon, it can be a perfect time for:
- Wrapping up unfinished business rather than starting something new
- Routine tasks that don’t require major outcomes
- Rest, reflection, and meditation
Below are some recent and upcoming Void periods.
