When is the Moon void of course?

It is the period after the Moon has made its last major aspect to a planet and before it has entered the next sign.

It is a strange period, when nothing decided, arranged, fixed, agreed upon, materialises in the manner anticipated at the time.

Traditionally it was used by horary astrologers as an indicator that the answer to the question asked when the moon was void was that 'nothing will come of it.'

However the 'void' is a phenomenon that (to my constant amazement) works in an extraordinary way in real life. Typical events that occurred in the void were:

• The signing of the SALT treaty which the Soviet Union did not adhere to
• The UK Grand National Horse race that was for the first time in its illustrious history declared 'null and void'
• The wedding of Prince Andrew and Fergie.
