Is the Moon void of course right now?

The status panel at the top of this page answers that live. It shows whether the Moon is currently void of course, when the current or next VOC window starts and ends, how long it lasts, and which sign the Moon enters next. Times are given in UTC and in your local time zone once the page loads.

The status panel names the next void of course Moon with its start time, end time, duration, and the sign the Moon moves into. The dated list further down shows every upcoming window for the next six months, grouped by month, so you can plan ahead.

If the Moon goes void of course today, the start and end times appear in the panel at the top of the page, shown in UTC and in your local time zone. If there is no void today, the panel names the next window instead. Because a void can begin late one day and end early the next, some calendar days have no void at all.

Yes. VOC windows are computed from UTC ephemeris data, then displayed in your local browser time zone. If you travel or change your device time zone, the same astronomical event may appear with different local clock times.

This calendar uses the later sign-exit convention common in modern astrology: the interval from the Moon's last exact major aspect to a traditional planet until sign ingress. Hellenistic kenodromia instead examines the next 30 degrees of lunar travel and can cross a sign boundary.

VOC periods range from a few minutes to over 24 hours. Short voids (under an hour) happen when the Moon makes a late aspect in one sign before quickly crossing into the next. Long voids occur when the Moon's last aspect happens early in a sign, leaving many degrees to cross before the sign change.

Traditional electional astrology advises against starting new projects, signing contracts, launching products, submitting applications, scheduling important meetings, or making major purchases during VOC periods. The idea is that actions begun during a void tend to fizzle out, produce unexpected results, or need to be redone.

Routine tasks, rest, reflection, meditation, journaling, and finishing existing projects are all considered fine during a VOC Moon. The void is a natural pause, not a danger zone. Many astrologers treat it as good time for inward-focused work that does not require a specific external outcome.

The Moon goes void of course every 2 to 3 days, since it changes zodiac signs roughly every 2.5 days. Every sign change is preceded by a VOC window of some length. Over the course of a month, there are typically 12 to 14 VOC periods.

The engine solves exact conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions with both bodies moving. It checks the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, excluding outer planets. The final perfection in the Moon's sign begins the void, which ends at ingress. A passage with no perfection is void throughout.

Calendars can disagree when they use different rules. Some include Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto in the final aspect check, while classical electional astrology uses the seven visible planets. Others round times differently, use a different zodiac framework, or apply time zone conversion from a static table. This page uses classical planets, major Ptolemaic aspects, exact sign ingress, and local browser time display.
