Following Saturday’s New Moon conjunct Jupiter, the Moon remains in Leo until it ingresses Virgo Monday at 11:37 pm EDT (Tuesday 03:37 UTC). As of the moment of this writing, the Moon is square Saturn in Scorpio (during which aspect I found my cellphone after three days). By my reckoning, using classical planets and Ptolmeic aspects only (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition) the Moon will be void of course all night and all day Monday until it ingresses Virgo, at which time it becomes rather busy.<\/p>\n
Question for classical astrology students — does Moon trine its own nodes count as not void? I have not encountered that particular guideline. Lee Lehman would know. Rob Hand would know. If so, the Moon’s void actually begins once it separates from a its trine\/sextile to the nodes at 8:20 am EDT (12:20 UTC). The Moon will also be trine Eris, and sextile Ceres and Vesta.<\/p>\n

So this is a special Moon void — you might say that the classical planets are out of the way and Ms. Luna will be resonating with two supreme asteroids (chief executive goddess Ceres and keeper of the devotional flame Vesta, both in Libra) and what is perhaps the minor planet that defines our era in history, Eris in Aries (also conjunct the Moon’s South Node). The Moon is still young in its cycle; I count Monday night as the third night of the Moon, when it will become visible in some places just as it enters Virgo.<\/p>\n
The Moon then makes many aspects once that happens, starting off with a simultaneous conjunction to hypothetical Transpluto in Virgo and an opposition to Nessus in Pisces. That is going to focus some energy — perhaps perfectionist, urge for resolution, healing power, something — don’t take on too much. Take one thing at a time. Feel good about accomplishing one thing or understanding one issue.<\/p>\n
Monday might feel a little less intense or accomplishment-focused than you want, though this is a truly rare moment to make contact with some of the subtler energies. And don’t worry, once the Moon is in Virgo, you will be all about getting everything done, and you just might.<\/p>\n
