They say that Eclipse season ushers in change and transformation, whether you’re ready for it or not. That you have to be careful what you wish for, because the Universe is always listening… Well, how many times have I said that I want to spend less time on my phone?! Because this past Wednesday, the kids got to it one last time, and I have been using a loaned phone with no camera since! Cue me not have an Instagram Story for going on 5 days straight! Who would’ve thought it possible! But honestly it has been the BEST. I am loving this imposed hiatus. It’s giving me the chance to actually consider and review what I’m doing and why, and I can’t wait to be back bigger and better, which a shiny new phone, soon.
Didn’t even notice I was missing? Then you need to be following me on Instagram!
May is here! If you haven’t yet, download your Void Of Course Moon Calendar HERE. Some ideas for this months upcoming Void Moon periods:
- Monday 2nd has a short, 34 min VOC Moon from 1942-2016*. It’s a bit early for an early night to bed, but I’ll be making sure my phone is away, and I’m dedicating myself to reading a book (not watching tv) during this time.
- Monday 9th the Moon is Void from 2208 until 0823* on Tuesday 10th. My goal (kid-dependant) is to sleep the whole 10 hour 15 min!
- Monday 16th is the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. This is going to bring big energies, and the Void Moon period is an intriguing 2 hours and 22 min long (222). Times are 1858-2021*, so I think a bath will be on the cards for me, along with my usual gratitude and journaling practises.
Make sure you let me know how you are using the VOC Moon! Send me a DM on Instagram, reply to the blog, or send me an email <3
Monday 2nd: The New Moon and Eclipse is past (though you may still be feeling some of the effects) and this evening, after a short, 34min Void of Course Period, the Moon will be joining Mercury in Gemini. It’s likely you’ll be feeling social, and communicative today.
Tuesday 3rd: Venus enters Aries today. While Aries is ruled by Mars, Mars and Venus sit on either side of desire, meaning that for the next little while, our desires, our partnerships, and also money are going to see in an influx of firey energy and ambition.
Wednesday 4th: Pluto went retrograde last week, meaning that the ways in which we transform are going to require added flexibility. This is the same for any aspects, and today Pluto retrograde (Rx) cosies up to Jupiter in Pisces. This will help you with any of the more conscious transformations you’re working on today.
Thursday 5th: Short, two and a half hour Void Moon period this morning, suggesting a slow start, before the Waxing Moon enters Cancer. The Sun in Taurus is conjunct Uranus today too, making today an excellent day to express your uniqueness, or take steps towards big innovations.
Friday 6th: Venus, newly in Aries, makes a sextile aspect with Mercury, recently in Gemini, today. This newer energy, plus today being Venus-day, makes it a good day to talk about your finances, and put any Taurus Season changes in action.
Saturday 7th: This Saturn-day sees an evening Void Moon Period, from 1955-2119* before it enters Leo. Saturn calls for discipline and responsibility, so if you haven’t found a way to bring the VoC Moon into your practises yet, make it tonight. It’s only an hour and a half. Set your alarm now, and whether it’s putting your phone away, or taking a bath, maintain your responsibility to yourself and commit to todays VoC Moon, and your self.
Sunday 8th: As we gear up for the First Quarter Moon in Leo, and the weather is getting colder (in Australia anyway), spend some time outside today, in the Sun, and soak up some of that amazing vitamin D. Leo is the only zodiac sign ruled by the Sun, so use this physical and energetic recharge to help kick-start you into next week.
