I am back! New phone, who dis? I definitely have mixed feelings about returning: on one hand being able to talk to everyone and share to stories again is excellent, on the other hand, I still don’t love Facebook, or being tied to my phone. But this is the exercise in balance that’s mine to learn right now!
Dedicating the Void of Course Moon Times to phone free, self care, leisure activities is definitely helping with that balance! Make sure you’re sharing you’re sharing your #vocmoon activities with me on Facebook!

Monday 9th: Today see’s the First Quarter Moon in Leo light up our skies. You’re probably feeing bold and confident – good! If not, channel this proud energy of growth. The Moon goes void tonight at 2208*.
Tuesday 10th: The Moon enters Virgo at 0823*. I hope you got a good night sleep (US, this 10 hour VOC Moon is most of your day, Mars-day wants to go, go, go, take it easy, burn that energy on mundane, routine tasks). Main event today, is the official start of Mercury Retrograde. You’ve likely been feeling some of it’s effects during its ‘shadow’ period. For some great info on this specific retrograde, listen to the Moon Manifesting Podcast with Kyra Howearth here.
Wednesday 11th: Today sees Jupiter, planet of growth and expansion, make its way from Pisces (where it’s been since the start of the year) into cardinal Aries. You’ll recall that Aries energy is fire-starter energy, so consider how you can bring this energy into your projects and life for the next little while. This is still broadly considered a Jupiter in Pisces year, however, as Jupiter will go retrograde, back into Pisces later this year, and not move fully into Aries until the end of 2022.
Thursday 12th: This morning is a lucky one for knocking off your to do (Jupiter day, and Jupiter is now channeling Aries energy), before the Moon goes void at 1329*. Short-ish one today, just two and a half hours, but considering the last one (for Aussies) was over night, how are you going to honour that time today? The Moon enters Libra at 1604*, so honour that Libran balance with today VOC Moon (btw, are you seeing my VOC reminder on Instagram? Make sure you’re following along, and tag me with the hashtag #vocmoon so we can all share in your VOC Moon activities!
Friday 13th: Hey it’s Friday 13th! Not unlucky here though, the Sun is conjunct the North Node in Taurus! This is an excellent day to step our of your comfort zone with any tasks relating to what you want to do and achieve in your life! Especially as the upcoming Full Moon will be a bit less cooperative.
Saturday 14th: This Saturn day, with the Waxing Moon in Libra, I want you to write out some affirmations for yourself. We say we’ll do these things, and we know they’re good for us, but how many of us actually do them? Well, channel disciplined Saturn today, and DO IT! The Moon is void from 1737* till 2003*, so enjoy a lovely night – phone free!
Sunday 15th: Today see’s two aspects of note (all aspects are of note, but with the Full Moon tomorrow, the interplay is more important). Firstly, Mars in Aries plays with the North Node in Taurus. Given that it’s the Nodes causing Eclipses, consider that this aspect is going to add an element of momentum and force to any upcoming transformative energy. Secondly, Venus in Aries (also quite strong and forceful) is conjunct Chiron. There’s not nice way to say it, but this Full Moon Eclipse, with the South Node of our pasts, in deep, dark Scorpio, with Chiron, the wounded healer, sitting on top of Venus, the planet of love, desire, money and art? Well it’s likely going to be a lot. Lucky you read this forecast in advance huh! Every Eclipse is going to be individual to our own contexts though, reach out to me NOW to book a Quick Astro Forecast and let me help you see just how this particular Eclipse could play out for you.

Tarot card for the week: Hanged Man, reversed
As we head into retrograde season (Pluto is already there, Mercury joins it, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will all, also, be retrograde in the next couple of months), you may be tempted to take a step back and slow down. That would corroborate with a Hanged Man card, however, this weeks card is reversed. The Hanged Man, reversed is here to remind you that retrograde motion is an illusion, taken from a time when we Earthlings considered ourselves the centre of the Solar System. We know now that this isn’t the case, planets don’t go backwards, and while there is no denying the impact this illusion has on the collective, the Hanged Man is calling you to recognise the illusions around you, and find the most effective ways to work with them.
