There are bound to be strong opinions all around so keep a level head.

Tue 24 Mar 2009
Variable Day
Moon in Pisces refranation conjunct Mercury
Today's Moon in Pisces can create an atmosphere of misunderstanding and it may be necessary to clarify something. A refranation occurs when the Moon is applying to a planet but that planet moves out of the occupied sign before the Moon completes her final aspect. This is very significant in electional astrology because it indicates that something will fall through. On a variable day the outcome of your endeavor is unpredictable. It may be that someone you were depending upon walks away or needed financing is withdrawn. Changing circumstances suggest you delay your project and begin at a better time.

Today's influence neutral

Mon 23 Mar 2009
Neutral Day
Moon void-of-course
The Moon is considered void when she ceases to form any major applying aspect to another planet before moving into the next sign. During these time intervals things usually don't turn out as planned. As a rule of thumb "nothing of consequence" will evolve so it is best to avoid Moon void periods when planning something of importance. However routine activities are not affected. The Moon is void all day today until 5:08 PM.

The Sagittarius Moon may have you feeling restless; generally people tend to be spontaneous. Though you may be anxious to get things going not everyone shares your vision. The ongoing Venus retrograde limits funding but perhaps you can make some headway if you allow others to take the lead. Use this time to make revisions and if possible tighten your budget. It's better to launch a new project once Venus moves forward.

Today's influence mixed

Mon 09 Mar 2009
Mixed Day
Moon in Virgo oppose Uranus
We begin the day with the Moon void of course until 11:35 AM eastern time when she enters the sign of Virgo. The Moon changes signs approximately every two-and-a-half days and is void of course when she ceases to form any major applying aspects to other planets before moving into the next sign. This can occur for a few minutes, a few hours or longer depending upon the positions of the other planets. When the Moon is void nothing of consequence comes of your action because there is not enough momentum to get it going. Use this time for routine matters.

Once the Moon enters Virgo the influence changes to "challenging day". You can expect some disruptions because people tend to be fixated on doing things their way and compromise is difficult. The only way to get it done is to give everyone plenty of leeway and try again later.

As the Moon approaches its opposition to Mars emotions may be volatile and people are feeling somewhat irritable. Yesterday's influence is still in effect so use this time to kick back and enjoy the company of loved ones. If disagreements arise strive to see the opposite point of view. As Mercury enters the sign of Pisces today people tend to be more imaginative and inspirational. Strive for clarity in all areas of communication.

Today's influence mirrors yesterday with the Moon's last aspect to Uranus. A good day to act on instinct and let the creative juices flow. The Moon is void of course at 7:30 PM tonight until 8:26 AM tomorrow morning. Moon void is a time for introspection and not action. Delay major decisions during times when the Moon is void of course.

Venus turns retrograde today at 12:17 PM and will remain so for the next six weeks. During her retrograde cycle it is not unusual to experience problems in relationships and it is not a good time for marriage.

Timing and the Moon

Electional astrology is the astrology of timing and the Moon plays the most significant role because she is responsible for setting events in motion. As the closest orbiting body to the earth, her influence is so important that two branches of astrology, Horary and Electional, use the Moon as the most significant planet. In Electional astrology we use the Moon to help determine the best time to do something.

To begin with, we have to find out the times during which the Moon is void of course. Many popular astrology magazines have a listing of void-of-course Moon periods showing the days and length of time the void is in effect. The Moon changes signs approximately every two days. The Moon is void-of-course when it ceases to form any major applying aspect to another planet before it moves into the next sign. During this time, things usually don't turn out as planned. A rule of thumb is "nothing of consequence" will evolve so it's best to avoid Moon void periods when planning something of importance. However, routine activities are usually not affected and Moon void does favor artistic or creative activities, leisurely pursuits, relaxation, meditation and the like. For the purpose of this article, we are focusing on the best time to accomplish something of importance. As a general rule, it is most desirable to begin a new project or one that requires growth after a New Moon. The two-and-a-half week period after the New Moon each month is the Moon's waxing phase. She is increasing in light, going from new to full, and anything done during this time has the best chance for growth, expansion and gain. The two-and-a-half week period after the Full Moon is the Moon's waning phase. She is decreasing in light - going from full to new - and this is the best time to consolidate, organize and complete that which you began earlier.

Because the Moon moves so quickly, she may make several aspects during the course of the day. The Moon's first applying aspect at the time you begin something describes how your action gets off the ground or the circumstances you may encounter. The Moon's last aspect before she changes signs describes the end result or eventual outcome of your action. The Moon's final aspect is by far the most important and a favorable aspect is essential if you want a positive result. There is much more to Electional astrology, however, making use of the Moon's phase, void-of-course periods and her aspects is a good place to start.
