*{+VOID+OF+COURSE+}*

The Moon is said to be "Void of Course" when it has moved out of its
last major aspect with another planet before moving into another
astrological sign (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc... ) This happens
quite often and you should watch the calendar and be sure that you
are aware when the Moon is Void of Course (it says "V/C" on the
calendar). It usually doesn't last more than a few hours, but it
sometimes lasts for a full day or even two. Magickal (and Mundane)
energies are very chaotic when the Moon is Void of Course.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that you NOT start any magick,
cast any spells, perform a ritual of any kind, buy a major
investment (for example, a computer, a car, or a house), or make a
major decision of any kind!

So remember, whenever the Moon is Void of Course - DON'T do any

major magick work... DON'T start any new magick work... DON'T
complete any magick work... DON'T buy anything major... DON'T even
make any major decisions... Astrological studies have shown that
things begun or spells cast during this time tend to be rather
difficult and rarely come to fruition, and sometimes they even
backfire! When they do manifest, they almost never pan out as
expected.
