MOON VOID OF COURSE
When the moon is about to change sign and will no longer make any aspect (connection) to the other planets before touring the next sign, it is considered “void of course”. The moon’s potency weakens during these few hours, which can result in diminished success or satisfaction. If optimum results are your aim, wait until the moon fuels up again to do it, buy it, or say it. Timing is everything!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20)
Venus and Uranus can bring the feeling of having a shiny new toy to play with, especially Feb. 6-10. It’s good to see you so buzzed up. Change is good, expected or not! A brand new lifestyle is now in progress; Mercury retrograde calls for a revamp, first.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Go with the flow during Mercury’s retrograde cycle. Money can slip through your fingers, but the entertainment value is likely to be worth it! People connections can be especially vibrant and heartwarming. You certainly won’t lack for interesting things to think about or do!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
Aim to finish off or finalize by Feb. 10 but don’t scramble just to nail it down prior to Mercury retrograde. Don’t force what isn’t coming naturally; wait to see what transpires next. Stay ready for anything goes, especially mid-month. One door closes, another one could open right behind it. Keep financial reserves on hand.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Highly charged stars put life in the fast lane again, in this roller coaster month. Don’t jump in too quickly or make assumptions—things can change in a flash while Mercury retrograde is up to its tricks. Extra health and safety precautions are wise. No matter how brief, grab time-out moments every chance you get.
ARIES (March 21–April 19)
Keep the show going strong this month and let others witness your special brand of genius in action. Mercury retrograde will set surprising wheels in motion from behind the scenes; don’t underestimate a thing! Let the universe come knocking. You could be the chosen one.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
It’s important to keep reinventing the wheel. In fact, you may be forced to as Mercury retrograde is sure to shake up your status quo. Surprising things can happen when you least expect it. Never say never. Explore alternatives, reach for new goals.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
That bird-let-out-of-a-cage enthusiasm does you justice. Use Mercury retrograde to break a few of your own rules! Avoid unnecessary pressure, stay open-ended, keep yourself available. If you can, hold off on legal affairs until mid-March. A goodbye may be timely (or not!).
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Let it go! Over the past six months, a previously cherished goal or stronghold has been slowly dissolving or receding in importance, while something much more suitable has been shaping up. Mercury’s retrograde can bring a release and/or a welcome escape route.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
You could fall for someone or something, make an amazing discovery or score, win, or find yourself in the public eye, Feb. 6 -10. Once Mercury turns retrograde, reasonable limits can become virtually non-existent; money can go faster than it comes. Some things are glaringly obvious, some are definitely not! Stay observant, listen more.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The exceptional could show up when you least expect it. Seize the moment Feb. 6-10. Continue to stay focused on your brighter future and don’t let the confusion of Mercury’s retrograde cycle rain on your parade. An exciting month awaits, but don’t bank on it, or lock yourself in, Feb. 13-March 7.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Work is sure to be hectic. Your schedule could be all over the map, especially once Mercury turns retrograde. Something or someone could burst on the scene and require your immediate attention; an expense could pile up, too. Take extra precautions with health and diet, back up your computer, watch for leaks.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Ride the wave! You are capable of amazing accomplishments. In fact, you could surprise yourself with a career, romantic, or creative coup, or a change in mid-stream. Venus, Uranus, and Mercury in Pisces can deliver saving graces, exceptional synchronicity, and good fortune. Try your luck around Feb. 8.
