Moon, Void
of Course
As Witches, we call upon
the energy of the Universe. The energy we draw from the moon comes
from the moon's connection to the planets. When that connection
isn't there, the energy dissipates. That lack of connection is what
is called Void of Course.
The moon is considered
Void of Course when it is between astrological signs -- it has no
major aspect connections with other planets but has not yet connected
with the next sign. This occurs every few days. Sometimes it's merely
minutes, other times, it's hours or even a day.
Astrologer Al H. Morrison
discovered that these voids had an effect on us. He advises: "Go
out of business when the Moon makes it's last aspect. Feed your
soul until the time the Moon enters the next sign. Then, go back
into business." (Secrets form a Stargazer's Notebook by Debbi
Kempton-Smith)
When the moon is void
of course, we are more fallible. Basically, don't expect anything
started or offered during a Void of Course to turn out as planned,
or even at all.
As witches, it is best
to do nothing during Void of Course. Use this time to meditate or
just kick back and relax.
If you attempt magickal
workings during Void of Course, any energy you call upon will be
your own. And take it from those of us who have done it, it will
leave you exhausted and most of your work will be for naught.
In a non-Witch aspect,
it is also good to avoid making any important decisions, signing
contracts or having a job interview during a Void of Course.
Food for thought: In
every presidential election from 1900 to 1972, one of the two major
party candidates was nominated when the moon was void of course.
Every one of those particular candidates lost! (Lichtenstein 1997)
