Void of course
|
|
A planet is void of course when it will complete no major aspect before leaving its current sign. The tradition tracked the Moon’s void periods most carefully, and the doctrine held that actions begun under a void Moon would come to nothing or proceed only with difficulty. The Latin is vacua cursu: empty in her course.

Pinocchio = Pineal Gland?
I’m guessing most people have seen Disney’s classic, Pinocchio, or are least familiar with the story of the wooden doll that desperately wants to become a real “boy”.
Well, it’s a lot more than a simple children’s movie.
Walt Disney, was a high ranking freemason with deep knowledge of the occult… and you can see clues of this throughout many of Disney’s movies.
For example, if you take the name Pinocchio…
Pin (pine) and occhio (Italian for eye) you have “pine eye”... or in other words… pineal.. Which is your third eye.
In the movie, in order to become a real boy… or to ascend… he had to stop telling lies… stop being deceived by his friends… stop getting intoxicated with alcohol amongst other things…
So really, Pinocchio is just an allegory for our pineal gland…
And a lot of what’s in the story of Pinocchio holds true for us…
If we want to ascend… and achieve our highest state of consciousness by activating our pineal gland… you can get several clues on how to do this from the story of Pinocchio.
If you want to see how to fully activate your third eye, and achieve a higher state of consciousness… where the life of your dreams is limited only by your mind, then all you need to do is check out this short presentation.

Twenty-eight degrees of Gemini is where the Moon sits today, near the end of a sign she has no essential claim to. She is peregrine here. The word comes from the Latin for foreigner or traveler, and it names a planet passing through a degree where it holds no essential dignity: not its domicile, not its exaltation, not its triplicity, not its term, not its face. Gemini is none of these for the Moon. She is competent but unsponsored, belonging to no one in the room.

Tonight at 21:45 UTC she goes void of course, completing her last major aspect before leaving Gemini and forming no new ones until she crosses into Cancer early tomorrow. The tradition treated these windows seriously. William Lilly, writing in seventeenth century London, recorded the tradition that a question asked under a void Moon would come to nothing, or would resolve only after long delay and by means the questioner did not expect. He was codifying older material. The image behind the tradition is the same: a planet still moving through the sky but no longer in conversation with anything, sending out light that nothing catches.

A waning gibbous phase sits behind all of this. Eighty-one percent of the disc is still lit, but the direction is downward, past full and losing. The older calendars read a waning Moon as favoring completion over initiation, and a void over a waning Moon doubled the judgment. The tradition did not call this dangerous. It called it empty, which is a more precise claim: not that harm arrives, but that effort finds no wall to push against.
