How it affects our daily lives… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-off-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. 

Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

  • Date: Thursday September 18 2014  to Sunday September 21 2014. 
  • Moon Sign: Leo at approx 11:10 pm (ET) 8:10 pm (PT) 
  • Moon Phase: 4th quarter, waning (decreasing in light)
  • Void-off-Course: Yes: 12:33 am Sunday September 21/2014:  Leo Moon v/c is not one of the 4 “good signs”
  • House:3rd: House of  siblings, day-to-day activities/travels/banking, shopping, the gym, routine chores and our communication style. 
  • Opportunity Period: Yes, 2:48 pm 2014 (ET) 11:48 am September 20 to early Sunday morning. Good for following through on plans already made.  Try to be productive in the period before the moon goes Void off course Sunday Morning. 

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 
  • The moon in the 3rd house may have us more interested in our routine day-to-day chores and tasks, or at least we may feel we are on track with what needs to be done. Could be a good time to get back to the gym. We may also reconnect with old school friends or find our minds thinking about our school days. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts: Moon in Leo: Sun in Leo:  Moon in the 3rd house:  Moon in 5th house: Sun in Leo: Aspects to the moon:

  • Moon Phase: 4th, waning (decreasing in light)

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because she rules here. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do now,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. 
  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off… 
  • It’s a time for cuddles, caring, good food and just plain old lovings… :) Enjoy..
  • With the moon in the 1st house  we will be more concerned about the self… For those who have a “selfish” streak, don’t get carried away, it’s not always about you… and for those who find it hard to make time for themselves, go ahead you deserve a break. Being overly “needy” or imagining slights against one’s person may be more prevalent with the moon in the 1st house. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Cancer: Ascendant in Cancer: Sun in Cancer: Moon in the 1st house: Moon in the 4th house: Aspects to the Moon:

  • Event: Opportunity Period (thanks to Jim Shawvan for figuring out the Periods)
  • Date(s): September 18 2014
  • Time(s): 6:01 am (ET) 3:01 am (PT) to 11:10 pm (ET) 8:10 pm (PT)
  • Moon sign: Cancer. 
  • Moon Phase: 4th Quarter
  • Other Planet(s) Involved: Mercury
  • Void off Course: Yes. There are only 4 signs in the zodiac that work well with the Void off Course moon. Cancer is one of those 4 signs. 

What does it Mean?: 

Jim Shawvan, astrologer, over a 30 year period, has developed the Opportunity Period’s system. He shares his findings in Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide. 

  •          An Opportunity Period (OP) is a period in which the aspects of the transiting Moon to other transiting planets show no interference with the free flow of decision and action. (Jim Shawvan)
  •        ” Opportunity Periods apply to everyone in the world all at once; although, if the astrological influences on your own chart are putting blocks in your path, you may not be able to use every OP to the fullest. Nevertheless, you are always better off taking important actions and making crucial decisions during an Opportunity Period.” (Jim Shawvan)
  • When an OP appears it’s best to make the best of the time if possible. 
  • Some OP times are very short and happen in the late hours of the night or early hours of the morning. 
  • This OP is good for: Following through on plans and projects. It can be a productive day, but in the 4th quarter indicating it’s better to finish what’s been started, then to start something new.
