void-of-course

Explanation:
The Moon changes signs approximately every two days. The Moon is void-of-course when it ceases to form any major applying aspect to another planet before it moves into the next sign. During this time, things usually don't turn out as planned. A rule of thumb is "nothing of consequence" will evolve so it's best to avoid Moon void periods when planning something of importance. However, routine activities are usually not affected and Moon void does favor artistic or creative activities, leisurely pursuits, relaxation, meditation and the like. For the purpose of this article, we are focusing on the best time to accomplish something of importance.
