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.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Upgrade your education formally or seek it out there in the world. nothing escapes you now as Saturn’s advance into Virgo sharpens your discriminating eye. Shorten the distance to your future by redesigning the now. The solar eclipse delivers surprising news/connections,unplanned events, or sudden travel.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
While Mars in Gemini can sail you into an easy groove, Saturn’s entrance into Virgo says don’t let it go to waste. added effort toward your love life or your financial get-ahead program is well-timed. Stay on top of legal paperwork. The solar eclipse moves financial or romantic matters into fast forward.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Saturn’s advance into Virgo puts the spotlight on partnerships and collaborative efforts both business and personal. if your needs aren’t being met at least halfway, you’ll have to decide whether it’s for you or not. The solar eclipse can bring a job offer or other surprising potential; a contract or agreement can reach fruition.
ARIES (March 21–April 19)
Prioritize the fix-up/clean-up routine; work smarter. Saturn’s progress into Virgo will lead you (or force you!) to become more industrious, economical, and results-driven. once past this first week, dynamos Pluto and Venus provide a positive thrust forward. The Sept. 11 solar eclipse signpost will point you toward your next bests. The harvest moon is aptly named!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Getting a grip is about to become much easier. in fact, it appears you are at the start of a major turnaround— personal, professional, and/or romantic. Self-confidence builds; your success ratio does too, especially as the solar eclipse cycle Sept. 11 pours forth into the gold-cup sector of your chart.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Punching the Virgo clock now, Saturn’s next hardhat project requires that you put more effort into building up your material foundation and family fortress. don’t say it’s too much to tackle; roll up your sleeves instead. Mars in Gemini keeps your ambition nicely juiced. leap and reap Sept. 1, 2, 8–11, 13, 14, 18, and from the 20th onward.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Reality-check planet Saturn leaves your money sector (whew!) and now puts a serious spin on your quest for more meaningful exchanges. you’ll now learn to communicate and connect the dots (social, intellectual, financial) with greater impact. Sign with a new agent or become one; work it out, Sept. 18–21. Speak with authority, but call yourself a student.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Grab your sunglasses and get ready to give the paparazzi a hot story to pursue! it’s blast-off month as Venus and Pluto uncork you. Sept. 11: Uranus flicks a big switch—“Expect the unexpected” is an understatement! you have some serious money-making to do; Sept. 11–24 can bring make-it or break-it time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Choose it or wait for it to come knocking. as you work your way through your birthday month, you are sure to find yourself living a completely new reality. The solar eclipse on Sept. 11 could be the start of it all. Saturn’s tour through Virgo sets a ripe stage; it’s time to toughen up/build muscle.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Venus in leo sets your social life and client base brewing quite nicely this month. new goals and/or a new lifestyle keep you in love with your life. nothing is routine or ordinary. it all falls into place beautifully on the harvest moon Sept. 26.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
your popularity continues to generate well for you; past Sept. 8, Venus puts you in the professional or personal spotlight yet again. Re: your client base or social life, Saturn’s tour through Virgo suggests you can afford to be choosy. Watch for the solar eclipse to catapult you into a completely new direction!
