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.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Where there’s a will, there’s a success story in the making. Fuelling you with passion and positive initiative, Mars in Cancer is your ally through to mid-November.

ARIES (March 21–April 19)

A callback or second look during Mercury retrograde can be a good thing; a backtrack can be costly or tug hard on the heartstrings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Planned or not, Mercury retrograde is sure to put you back in touch with folks. Watch for things you have said or done to be played back to you. Handle legal paperwork, hire agents, finalize important purchases, or close sales before oct. 11, or pause until after Nov. 2.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Make sure you can back out if you want to. A change of direction or heart is a common occurrence during Mercury retrograde.
