Void-of-Course Moon: The period from the last major aspect to the Moon’s ingress

Monday 2/20/12: The Moon is sextile Venus and quincunx Mars today, which is good for romance and flirting, or just plain goofing off. Enjoy the day. Carpe diem!

Tuesday 2/21/12: Today is a power day with a New Moon in Pisces, the Moon trine Saturn, conjunct Neptune and sextile Jupiter, so this is a productive, power-packed day full of good vibrations and higher level energy. This is a day for insight and reaching out to those in authority or those who are wiser. Listen carefully to what they have to say. There is a higher power at work, so pay attention.

Wednesday 2/22/12: The Moon is sextile Pluto around dawn, maybe you have been to other universes in dreamland and can’t remember your dreams. This evening, the Moon is conjunct Mercury and opposite Mars, so hold your tongue or you may find yourself embroiled in a quarrel, lover’s or otherwise, when Venus is quincunx Mars in Aries-Virgo just before midnight.

Thursday 2/23/12: Dark clouds are on the horizon until the Moon’s ingress into Aries mid-evening. The day starts with a Mercury-Mars opposition at 6:30 a.m., so traffic will be trouble this morning. The Moon is quincunx Saturn around 8:30 p.m., which sets the table for a gloomy dinner. The dark clouds will dissipate when the Moon enters Aries at 9:48 p.m.

Friday 2/24/12: Watch your temper today and hold your tongue. The Moon is conjunct Uranus in the early hours of the day, followed by the Moon square Pluto at 3:30 p.m. Avoid confrontations unless you are ready to deal with a meltdown.

Saturday 2/25/12: Today is a mostly joyous day with perhaps a quirky little surprise to perk things up. The day starts out with the Sun sextile Jupiter and the Moon quincunx Mars, which lead into a 2:00 p.m. Moon-Venus conjunction. By all means, express your love today, for this is a day to enjoy the company of loved ones and to celebrate life.

Sunday 2/26/12: Time to come back down to earth and face our responsibility today with the Moon opposing Saturn just before 8:00 a.m. She is Void of Course until 9:30 a.m., so this would be a good day to have breakfast in bed. The Moon is sextile Neptune just before noon, and you are in a dreamy, sensual mood. The week ends on a very positive, happy note with the Moon conjunct Jupiter at 10:43 p.m. It has been a very good week, for the most part.
