MOON VOID OF COURSE
The moon makes one complete
revolution around the zodiacal wheel each month,
spending a little more than 24 hours in each of the 12
signs. When the moon is about to complete its visit
through one sign and does not make any planetary
connections (called aspects) before it moves on to the
next sign, it is considered “void of course.” The moon’s
influence or biorhythm is weak during these few hours,
which can cause diminished success or satisfaction. If
optimum results are your aim, wait until the moon fuels
up in a new sign before you do it, buy it, or say it. Timing
is everything!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) Mars and Saturn
can put a damper on your finances, intimate relationship,
or mood, but once Venus moves into sunny Leo, you
should find more reasons to smile. Pleasure, romantic,
and social opportunities perk up in the second half of the
month. The stars are even brighter July 22 onward.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) July 10 can bring a
relationship or financial matter to a defining moment. It is
time to either sign on or sign off. Don’t settle for less—cut
your losses instead. The month ahead finds you working
harder to create internal satisfaction and the necessary
health, work, or relationship improvements.
ARIES (March 21–April 19) Spend the first 10
days of the month putting serious effort into taking care
of business and clear off what you need to. You may find
that biding time is necessary, but don’t waste it; use it as
best you can. Your energy and enthusiasm rebuild past
mid-month; you’ll breathe easier, too.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The needs of loved
ones can put added pressure on you as the month begins;
finances can hold you back, too. Watch for something to
come to light around July 10 that could seal the deal for
you. Your best choices are sure to be obvious. Don’t settle
for less.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Family or homerelated
matters can consume most of your time and
attention. You could find yourself at a “once and for all”
breaking point, or you’ll be prompted to take a “now or
never” leap around mid-month. The universe conspires in
your favour, know it or not.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) July 10 could bring
the end of a visit or a release from a debt or obligation,
or it could bring you to the finish line re: a negotiation or
project. The start of a vacation is very well timed, too. You’ll
enjoy greater freedom and peace of mind in the second
half of the month.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Prior to your birthday, keep
a low-key social profile and curb unnecessary spending or
activity. Expenses can get hefty. By the same token, July
places you at a borrowing advantage, especially in the first
two weeks of the month. July 14 and 19 are particularly
opportune for romance and real estate purchases.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) July 10 marks the
finish line for a two-year cycle of great significance. Looking
back, you may say you have experienced some of the
most important events of your life. Do you feel complete
or reconciled? It’s time to begin anew with fresh eyes and
an unencumbered consciousness. Choose today, not yesterday,
and release yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Less is best, especially
through the first half of July. There’s no need to go the
extra mile for family or guests; togetherness is all you really
need. Is summer your time to make money? Middle to end
of the month brings you more business and more social
opportunity, too.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can be squeezed
for spare time through mid-month or feel the added pressure
of showing up out of obligation rather than pleasure.
Dwindling profit margins and higher prices take a bite out
of your entertainment budget, too. July 13 onward, the
stars create more latitude, profitability, and satisfaction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Re: professional
status, family, and material security, July 10 brings
you to a cut-off point, a completion, or realization of great
significance. A contract could solidify an important first step
forward—yes, lock in. If you feel at the end of the road with
no other option, take it as a sign and do what’s necessary.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) Working toward
a special event mid-month, waiting for time off, or simply
have that sense that something big is around the corner?
Anticipation delivers half the fun. Your social life swings on
the up-beat, too. The “let loose” Full Moon July 18 is ideal
for a vacation getaway or a welcome celebration.
