*All times are Pacific Times
**Note on VOID OF COURSE Moon (VOC) periods**
The VOC period begins when the Moon makes the last major aspect to another planet while in the Zodiac sign it is currently in and ends when the transit Moon enters the next sign.
Void moons are good for quiet solo work. Focus on planning, organizing and tying up loose ends. Don’t launch anything. If you want eyeballs on your work you will avoid sharing during a Void Moon. Don’t sign contracts, don’t hold meetings and don’t make big purchases. If you want to be remembered you will also schedule auditions, interviews and dates for times when the Moon is not void-of-course.
TIP: Mark these VOC periods down in your daily planner and/or highlight these hours in your digital calendar.
Today, Sunday the 24th, the Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune and you may want to stay in and keep communication to the minimum as words are soggy … dipped in sensitivity. Your mood improves when the Moon glides into Libra in the afternoon (1:37am).
Mars is in Pisces and we dive into the collective unconscious. He is the impetus behind the desire to reveal mysteries and retrieve gold from shipwrecks and forgotten cultures. Mars brings our repressed memories to the surface. Do not be surprised if the news headlines revolve around such things …underwater explorations and discoveries, psychedelic experiences, extrasensory perception …until 1 May.

South Node Lunar Eclipse in Libra (25 March 2024, 12 am)
The eclipse begins at 9:53 PM of the 24th and concludes at 2:32 AM. The ruler of this lunation is Venus and she is in Pisces (her sign of exaltation). And in mutual reception with Jupiter in Taurus as he co-rules Pisces and she rules Taurus. The Sun in Aries is approaching the North Node and Mercury in Aries is preparing to retrograde on April 1st.
This is a Dragon’s tail eclipse so expect a purging.
Libra is Catherine, the Princess of Wales’ 3H (3rd House) of communication, and on Friday she put an end to speculation when she announced her diagnosis.
You should also take a look at your natal Venus for a hint at what this eclipse may change over the next four months. Catherine’s natal Venus is in her 7H which is the house of other people and how others perceive you.
Ultimately, this South Node eclipse is about relationships and the need to purge yourself of false friends or a bad partner and also falsehoods that prevent you from developing a more loving relationship with yourself.
Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
- Maya Angelou
Magickally, you do not want to set intentions or perform rituals on the day of the eclipse. Personally, I prioritize meditation and prayer during eclipse season as the energy between eclipses is unstable and unpredictable. If you are Moon-ruled (Cancer Sun, Cancer Rising) you may already be aware that your digestive system is sluggish at the mo’. Consider fasting today or eating very little. (You may not be Moon-ruled and feel this anyway. Please pay attention to your body. Eclipses have a clear influence on the digestive tract.)

Journal Reflections:
Am I feeling this way because I am grieving?
Am I feeling this way because I am trying to control someone or a situation?
Am I obsessing? If so, about what?
"You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair."

Electric connection. If you hook up with someone today it’s going to be unforgettable but don’t expect a long term commitment.
Break away from routine and do something unexpected.
Friday 29 March
VOC 8:39am to 12:51pm
Moon in Sagittarius.
Moon in Sagittarius square Mars in Pisces. The Moon in Sagittarius is curious and fun-loving but also straightforward. You may feel tempted to “shoot from the hip” today. It won’t be appreciated. Best to keep things light like a super frothy mocha latte. Watch for passive-aggressive behaviour.
Saturday 30 March
Moon square Neptune in Pisces
Hard to tell the difference between fact and fiction today. Avoid jumping to conclusions. When Neptune is activated it’s best not to act on feelings.
