| The Moon spends approximately 2 1/2 days in each
sign of the Zodiac. It’s considered Void of Course (often abbreviated
VOC or V/C) between the time between making its last major aspect
to a planet in one sign and its ingress (entry) into the next sign.
The duration of this period can be from a few minutes to around a
full day. When the Moon enters the next sign the Void of Course period
ends.
When the moon is Void of Course it’s considered
a time for retrenching, a time not to start new projects, a time
when communication is disrupted or delayed, and a generally challenging
period. Time to take a break.
Here is horary astrologer William Lilly’s definition:
A Planet is void of course, when he is separated
from a Planet, nor does forthwith, during his being in that Sign,
apply to any other: This is most usually in the Moon; in judgments
do you carefully observe whether she be void of course yea or no;
you shall seldom see a business go handsomely forward when she is
so.
– William Lilly, "Christian Astrology"
1647.
