The Void Of Course Moon
As the moon traverses the zodiac, it aligns with the other celestial bodies, which are also travelling across the signs. Astrologers refer to the moment the Moon forms angles with other planets as “forming aspects”.
Due to the Moon’s rapid movement through the signs, it is constantly engaging and forming aspects with other planets. However, there are instances when the Moon’s journey through the signs, means it effectively “runs out” of planets to form aspects with. During these periods, the moon is considered to be “void-of-course” until it enters the next sign.
How to Use the Void Of Course Moon
This void of course phase can last from a few minutes to several hours, or even an entire day. In magick, knowing when this occurs can be of importance because it is said to be challenging to accomplish any magickal endeavours when the moon is void of course.
Nevertheless, there are situations where operating during a void of course moon can prove exceptionally advantageous. For example, the void of course moon is believed to be a time of stillness and peace, a period of reflection and meditation. The energy of the void of course moon is therefore best used for the kind of magickal work that is not intended to be noticed or to cause a sudden and visible change. This is because the energy during this time is gentle and slow-moving, and not suited for drastic or sudden changes, so changes can just slip by unnoticed.
A Magickal Ritual for the Void Of Course Moon
Now we know that a void of course moon is a great tool for those wishing to achieve outcomes that may remain unseen or hidden. This little magickal ritual can be used to bring about subtle changes and manifest a desired outcome you don’t want attention drawn to it.
Ingredients:
– A symbol of the action you wish to be kept hidden, such as a drawing, a photograph, an object
– Black paper
– Black ribbon
Ritual to Perform:
1. Focus your thoughts on the situation. Try not to get involved in the story, just observe the
situation in your mind without judgement.
2. Hold the symbol of the action you hope to take in your hands.
3. Wrap the black paper and black ribbon tightly around the symbol.
4. Place the bundle inside a keepsake lockbox, or other place you know it won’t be disturbed.
5. Now you should cautiously carry out your secret mission, which should go unnoticed by
those around you. Once complete, you can discard your secret bundle.
It is recommended that you keep your desire to go about your mission in secret in your mind while you carry out the ritual, and it goes without saying but do nothing to draw attention to your actions while you carry this out!
