The Moon in Aquarius conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius at 3:53 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon in Aquarius square Mars in Scorpio at 5:00 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon moves out of Aquarius and into Pisces at 9:53 AM EST until Saturday - December 11, 2021.

Today is Light on aspects as the Moon conjuncts Jupiter and squares Mars at the start of the day. The Moon will then move out of Aquarius and into Pisces at 9:53 AM EST.

The conjunction to Jupiter tells us that a feeling of bloatiness is likely, as many will wake up to a heavy case of flatulence. Think about it astrotators, Jupiter is full of hot air, so he is either burping because he talks so fast that he swallows a lot of air, or he is farting big and loud because he thinks it's funny. Remember, Jupiter is happy-go-lucky and he's super-friendly. "Better out than in" says Mrs. Doubtfire.

While Jupiter may have you mildly miserable, nonetheless cheerful, Mars arrives in an exact square less than an hour later and is doing its best to turn you into Mr. or Miss Crabby Pants. Maybe you will feel better knowing that while your lose fitting pajama pants feel tight this morning, you will feel better later today after the 12 to 14 hour 'orb of influence'. That will help you back away from the Moon squaring Mars aspect and crabbing at others because you feel bloated.

Even as the Moon is still conjunct Jupiter and squaring Mars, the Moon will move into Aries at 9:53 AM EST and enter the space of being Void of Course (VoC). Some astrological calendars calculate the 'Void of Course' time to be when the Moon is not aspecting any major aspects.

I calculate this time to be when the Moon is between 27 degrees of one sign and 03 degrees into the next sign. That time this morning would be from 4:37 AM EST until 3:12 PM EST. That's when the Moon is at 27 degrees Aquarius (4:37 AM EST) and when it is finally settled in at 03 degrees Pisces (at 3:12 PM EST).

That space of leaving one sign and entering the other is the 'crazy space', which I refer to as the 'Void of Course Moon'. I have had astrologers contact me and tell me that I am wrong and that I need to change it and basically conform to what everyone else writes. I call BS because I don't conform because everyone else said so. Just like the CLOT-SHOT. Conform! That's not who I am and what I do. I'm a Gemini, things need to make sense to me. I don't just jump on board.

I challenge everyone to put the Void of Course Moon to the test. It's the 'crazy space' where suddenly energy is going this way and that way. It's hard to make a decision when both energies are present. All of the planets are like that and we call it being 'on the cusp'. I suppose I could call it 'On The Cusp Calendar' but then I would probably get requests for all the planets and then I would say, "Use an ephemeris", which can be completely over-whelming and confusing for a neo-phyte.

I don't know how this movement cannot be considered when it is clear that when we move from one house (residence) to another, we are in the midst of chaos. Many people forget to simply observe astrology and then practice what they learn in their daily Life. No wonder astrology does not work for some people! Yoga is like that. You just don't stand on your head. You practice strengthening your core in order to turn upside down and remain steady (and see clearly). The same goes for standing on one foot. It takes practice to stand there like a flamingo, unmoved and unwavering on one foot. That's why it's called a 'practice' and not a 'perfect'. Astrology involves practice and study too.

I call a planet 'in the void' when it is in the midst of moving from one sign into the next sign. It only makes sense! Other sites and/or astrologers will interpret this Void of Course (VoC) space as, . . . when the Moon makes no more major aspects to other planets before it leaves a sign." That's all well and Good but I have found through years of research and pattern study that the time period when a planet 'prepares' to leave a sign, then actually leaves the sign, and then settles into the next sign, as the space that is 'the void'.

It's that cuspy crazy area where the planet is 'on the cusp' of being in this sign or that sign. Certainly there is controversy about the VoC Moon's impact and influence, but I think you will find, the time period that I calculate to be the VoC to be incredibly accurate and useful.

So, the time that I calculate is the energy shift between 27 degrees of one sign and 3 degrees into the next sign. Other Void of Course Moon Calendar's state that the Moon makes no other aspects to other planets before it leaves its sign. I think it is a flat out ridiculous thought process to think that nothing is happening at any given time, especially when the Moon (or any planet is changing signs). That's a fairly big change to just ignore, and I can't ignore it.

The 'other' calculation does not work in terms of pinpointing the chaos and energy shake-up as it does when it moves between 27 degrees of one sign up to 3 degrees into the next sign. It's not even close to the same feeling. AND, this is occurring every 2 to 2-1/2 days because the Moon only stays in a sign for 2 to 2-1/2 days and then moves on.

And remember, the Moon dictates our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities. Let's just call that INTUITION! It's no wonder we get all freaked out when changing from one thing to another, which involves movement or change from one place or thing to another.

Look at it this way . . . you know how you feel when you move from one house (residence) to another house (residence)? There is a lot of packing, moving about and just general chaos keeping track of all of your stuff as it is being shuffled from one house to another. The phone is ringing, people are coming and going, movers arrive, the dog is barking, kids are running around and you need to go to the bathroom because that cup of coffee is hitting. Well, the energy of a planet preparing to move into another sign feels the same chaotic way. Energy is shifting and it feels off balance and cranky to say the least.

This is not the time to sign something new or make a new plan while you are in the midst of change. Heck you can't even find a pen when you are packing up your desk and junk drawers to move to another house. Maybe now in your mindful 'crazy space' you can say to yourself, "The Moon must be void of course."

Using my calendar, there are dark blue areas on the calendar. I call your attention to the 27 to 3 degree time period. So the degrees involved are 27, 28, 29, 00, 01, 02 and up until the start of 03 degrees. I calculate the start of the void at 27 degrees 00 minutes up until 02 degrees 59 minutes 59 seconds . . . once the next second ticks away and the 3 degree mark is reached, then it is out of the void and the planet has settled and comfy in the next sign.

Now compare this to how you feel when you move from one house (residence) to another and need to get settled. It takes a while before you can plop down on the couch in your digs with a bowl of popcorn and relax. I have checked some of the other Void of Course Moon Calendars out there on the web and I can tell you based on the time zone they have listed, it doesn't make sense and the Moon is 'still' making aspects to other planets. Go figure.

WHEN THE MOON IS "VOID OF COURSE" THERE ARE DELAYS, FALSE STARTS AND UNEXPECTED HASSLES. Some people call this a "curve ball." This is because the moon will be moving between two different signs. This can last between a few seconds, minutes or hours and it can sometimes last a day or two. When the energy is faulty and unexpected, refrain from making decisions because judgment could be faulty because you would be making a decision when all the factors are not known. Do not sign contracts, shop or promise anything during this time. Also refrain from getting your feathers ruffled when the moon is "void of course" because it is better to just submit to spontaneity. How Fun? It can be plenty of fun if you work it right!

The 'Moon' itself describes what your immediate emotional response looks like with regard to daily Life circumstances, everyday affairs and domestic scenes. The Moon is a fast moving planet and changes every 2 - 2 1/2 days. How's that for dynamics and the ebb and flow of relationships? It also represents the attitude that you developed in childhood from your family. Since the Moon rules the mother, it shows your relationship with your mother, just as Saturday, rules the father and shows your relationship with your father. It may also show dietary habits and preferences with food.

As I always say, "When it's the Truth, it shows up everywhere."

So folks, make certain when you are studying your astrology that you can boldly and plainly see it. You will be able to see that this Void of Course Moon between 27 degrees and 3 degrees is OBVIOUS because when it's the Truth, it will show up everywhere.

Before I take an entire three (3) days of hunching over a computer preparing this 12-Month Void of Course Moon Calendar, I want to see how many people are interested in purchasing it this year. It's a supremely tedious job. I charge $10.00 for it. For a few years some Astrotators wanted the calendar early, so I prepared it several months early for several years. For instance, one year I prepared it in October and another time in July for the following year. Still, people waited until the end of the year or the beginning of the year to purchase it after I went to the trouble of preparing it early for those who asked. Needless to say, I don't prepare it early anymore.

I would like to have an idea of how many people are truly interested in purchasing the 2022 VoC Moon Calendar. I'm not interested in doing all this work for a handful of people, which may end up at $30 profit if three (3) people purchase it after days of back-breaking hunching over a computer. It needs to be worth my time and body input.

My contact information is on the contact button of this website and if you scroll the home page, you will see all of my contact info there as well. I will decide by December 15, 2021 if I will write a 2022 VoC Moon Calendar.
