From the moment the Moon finishes its last major aspect in a sign — a conjunction, sextile, square, trine, or opposition to one of the seven classical planets (Sun through Saturn) — until the moment she ingresses the next sign, she's said to be void of course. She's running out of conversations to have before changing rooms.
Practically: things started during the void tend to lose momentum, fail to take root, or quietly amount to nothing. The traditional astrologer William Lilly summed it up — “nothing comes of it.” That doesn't mean disaster; it means low-stakes. Treat the void like dead air on a radio station: keep listening, but don't broadcast.
This dashboard recomputes the answer on every page load from the Swiss Ephemeris — the same engine your astrologer uses — so it's always current to the minute.
Times are computed live from the Swiss Ephemeris and refined to roughly one-minute precision. The void start/end and Moon-sign ingress are exact to the displayed time.
We use the classical set: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. That's the standard William Lilly definition. Some modern astrologers also include Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — they tend to lengthen the apparent void period.
You can. The advice is “avoid commitments you can't take back” — voids tend to bring back missed information after the fact. For routine paperwork, fine. For a five-year lease, wait the few hours.
Several times a week. Voids range from a few minutes to about a day, with most lasting 4–12 hours. The Moon spends roughly 10–15 percent of any given month in the void.
