Void-of-course Moon: every time for the next two months
Before the Moon enters a new sign there is often a pause: it no longer forms one of the old angles to any planet until it changes sign. Tradition calls this the void-of-course Moon and advises against starting anything important during it: no contract, no purchase, no job application. The time is good for rest, routine and everything that is already under way.
