Void Off Course Moon - “Lunar Break”
Prashant Patne, 01.01.2017
Hi Dear Readers,
Today we are going to learn about a
phenomenon known as ‘Void Off Course Moon’.
Void off course Moon is the interval between the moon’s last
aspect with a planet & ingress to a new sign. For eg- If moon is changing
sign from Aries to Taurus, her last aspect to a planet is at 10 PM and Taurus
ingress occurs at 10.30 PM, then the time interval between 10 PM to 10.30 PM
will be known as ‘Void Off Course Moon’.This phenomenon is also written in
ancient Hindu scriptures as ‘Shunya Margi Chandrama’.
Moon changes sign after every 2-3 days and this time
interval can last anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours. During this
interval, any new activity must not be started for it will either get delayed
or not move ahead until moon’s ingress occurs.
I was once subject to this experience. I wanted to visit a school
for my son’s admission after relocating to a new area. I had planned to go with
my new neighbour for
reference. At the scheduled time, I was ready but my neighbour was not. I had to wait for about
30-40 minutes before he was ready to go. Although my son’s admission went ahead
without any hindrance, the delay in starting prompted the astrologer in me to
go into the time details. And then I realised that the time which I had chosen
for the visit was a void off course moon period. And only when the moon was
really close to exiting the sign did my visit actually took off…!!!
Considering
the busy schedule of people these days, below are few activities that can be
done during Void off Course Moon periods –
1 Cleaning & De-cluttering our
homes & work places – Organise files, clean our desks & closets so that
when moon enters a new sign we are ready to go ahead.
2 Perform Yoga or Meditation –get a
chance to obtain inner peace.
3 Sleep – get a chance to recover some
lost sleep.
What not to do during this period -
1 Starting important work/activities –
they are likely to be delayed or remain unfinished resulting in frustration.
2 Meeting New People – Avoid a new
date or a job interview.
3 Resume a new job.
4 Purchasing high value items.
The Void Off Course Moon timings are easily available in the internet. Please take note of this period and take some time off so that you are ready when the favourable time comes…
