Thursday’s last quarter Moon marked an unfavourable time for new beginnings as the lunar cycle prepares to reset. Now, in the waning period – between the last Full Moon and New Moon, people will face a rare window of opportunity. And today’s void Moon marks a poignant time for certain star signs.
The “void of course Moon” is the period of time after the Moon has made its last aspect in one sign until the Moon enters a new sign.
During this time, people may feel an urge to embark on new ventures in different aspects of their lives, though it has been warned against by astrologers.
An expert at Cafe Astrology explained that as the void of course moon occurs today at 11:16am EDT (3:16pm BST), it is “generally wise to stick to routine rather than to begin new projects”.
This phase marks the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs.

And until the Moon enters Pisces at 6:57 PM EDT (10:57pm BST), zodiacs may feel conflicted about how to navigate their love, life and relationships.
The astrologer said: “The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius until 6:57 PM EDT, harmonising with Jupiter and the Sun this morning and promoting cooperation, goodwill, and pleasure.
“This Moon brings friendly, progressive, and intelligent energy to our lives. We gravitate to unusual and different activities.”
Those born with an Aquarius Moon are keen observers of others, though this intrigue may be felt by all signs as the lunar cycle continues this transit.
The Cafe Astrology expert said: “The Pisces Moon from 6:57 PM (EDT) forward is idealistic and spiritually aware.
“We’re processing and digesting recent events at this time of the lunar month. This Moon transit also encourages the need to connect with our inner world.”
This lunar aspect is felt most strongly by those born with a Moon in Pisces, which can be calculated based on the exact time of your birth on your birthday.
However, the emotional afflictions linked to this star sign may be felt more widely over the next two days.
According to the astrologer, Lunar Pisceans are known to be “dreamy and not always in touch with reality”, but though these people may not always show real-world practicality in daily life, they make up for it with “remarkable intuition”.
The Pisces Moon encourages people to put themselves in anybody’s shoes, which endows them with compassion and love.
While this can be mistaken for weakness, it should be noted that Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac, and carries with it a little of each star sign.
Though the intensified emotion should be embraced during this phase of the Moon, the astrologer noted that leaning into it too much can come with the risk of being “lost” in the suffering of others.
