Tuesday is Mars’ Day

I will probably be masking the week’s large astrological information in my each day episodes, and that may even embrace some lunar happenings and some particular issues only for the podcast.

One factor I assumed I’d do that week is discuss just a bit bit about which of the seven Seen planets guidelines every day of the week, and what are the form of issues which can be favored on every planet’s day.

So in the event you’re a diamond sort of particular person, it is a good day for sporting any diamond jewellery you might need.

Greetings from Listener Stephanie

Hey, April. It’s me, Stephanie, and let me see. I’m fairly certain I started listening to the Massive Sky Astrology podcast from the very starting. I believe it was Mel Lara who informed me about it. I’m fairly certain she’s the one who informed me about it, and I’m certain that she discovered about it by the San Diego Astrological Society, which is how I do know you and Mel and a bunch of different actually cool astrologers. And I don’t know, I simply actually recognize the work that you just do. It’s my morning ritual as I drive to work each Monday and it simply actually begins my week off, proper? So thanks for that.

At this time’s Moon

And now it’s time for the Moon report. As longtime listeners know, Podathon is the week once we can actually give the Moon slightly further consideration as a result of there are some days every week when not a lot else is occurring, apart from the Moon making elements to different planets and perhaps altering indicators or being Void-of-Course.

That is a kind of days! The Moon is in Taurus on Tuesday morning and makes a trine facet to Pluto earlier than going Void-of-Course at 9:45 AM Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course for 3 and one quarter hours earlier than it enters Gemini at 1:06 PM

Now, Taurus represents stability and in addition how we cowl our important wants. So it is a Void-of-Course Moon time for appreciating what we now have – good well being, a roof over our heads, meals within the fridge, and because the Moon is trine Pluto and begins this Void-of-Course interval, recognize the facility and privilege that include having the requirements of life coated.

At 6:49 PM Pacific Time, the Moon squares Saturn, and that could be a second when one thing, some piece of reports, a social media publish, no matter it’s, reminds you of simply how lucky you’re relative to others who’re actually struggling or in comparison with different instances that you just your self have confronted actual issues.

A Have a look at the Void-of-Course Moon

This week I’m taking the chance to speak in slightly extra element about just a few of the ideas that come up on nearly each episode of the podcast. At this time I’m going to elucidate slightly bit about these Void-of-Course Moon intervals.

There are literally quite a lot of methods of figuring out when the Moon is Void-of-Course. It was performed fairly otherwise, say in medieval instances, in William Lily’s day. However within the trendy custom, I used to be taught that the Void-of-Course Moon refers to that interval of various size each couple of days or so, when the Moon has completed making all the key elements it’ll make to different planets earlier than it adjustments to the following signal.

The elements that we think about are conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions, and it solely refers back to the moon’s making use of elements to the planets, not the nodes, not Chiron or asteroids or angles. Conventional astrologers would possibly even get fairly hardcore about it and say that you need to overlook about Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However in the event you’re a contemporary astrologer like me, you go forward and depend them.

Now, after I was slightly child astrologer and had solely learn in regards to the Void-of-Course Moon in books, I didn’t even know what the expression meant, and I assumed it was one thing like “void: after all!”. But it surely simply signifies that the Moon doesn’t have a course. It doesn’t have a strongly outlined path as a result of it’s not making use of to elements to some other planet. I used to be taught that the Void-of-Course Moon symbolizes these instances when issues which can be initiated won’t come to fruition, that outcomes are unsure, that issues don’t proceed as we anticipate. These are astrological useless zones.

I used to be taught they have been speculated to be sad instances to begin new tasks, meet new folks, make essential purchases. In brief, in the event you initiated one thing on a Void-of-Course Moon, nothing would come of the matter. I used to be taught that these are poor instances to provoke motion on issues that you just need to have a fruitful consequence to schedule issues which can be depending on a strict timeline or to provoke one thing in hopes of a predictable consequence.

However I used to be additionally taught that there are benefits to the Void-of-Course Moon. My instructor used to say, mail your tax return on a Void-of-Course Moon, and you’ll by no means be audited. I’ve to say I’ve adopted that recommendation for a few years and I’ve by no means had bother with the IRS, however to be trustworthy, I don’t personally truly know anyone who has been audited by the IRS. I do know they’re on the market, however the folks that I do know haven’t been, and I do know they don’t seem to be submitting on a Void-of-Course Moon, a minimum of not on objective! However it’s one among these little rituals that may make textual content time slightly extra enjoyable.

However don’t imagine the whole lot you hear in regards to the VOC Moon; I’ve personally had expertise of a number of large occasions in my life that began throughout one among these intervals, together with assembly my husband – and we’ve been going robust for 30 years!

There was once an astrologer named Darrell Martinie who known as himself the Cosmic Muffin. He used to have a horoscope phase on the native Los Angeles radio station that I listened to on my technique to work, and he was fond of claiming that Void-of-Course Moon days have been good for beginning a food regimen or breaking different dangerous habits. I suppose the thought was that there are not any additional planetary elements to intervene with the Moon, which represents the matter, and so you’ll follow your resolve.

So I’ve typically considered this because the time to plan or provoke stuff you don’t actually need to go wherever, just like the tax audit to interrupt habits or to finish issues. There are often just a few of those Void-of-Course Moon intervals every week, and I do cowl them on the present as a result of I believe that they’re nice openings for breaking habits and letting issues go. I provide them to you in every episode in that spirit.
