Twenty-five hours is a long silence. From 10:48 UTC yesterday until 11:47 UTC today the Moon completes no major aspect to any planet, and at 11:47 she leaves Taurus and crosses into Gemini. Fifty-nine percent of her face is lit.

Void of course is the name for that gap. The condition was not read as danger. It was read as a limit on what a chart could be asked to tell you, and the medieval and early modern writers used it to mean that a matter would not go on to become what it appeared to promise. Nothing bad. Nothing at all.

Guido Bonatti, working in thirteenth century Italy, built much of his method around conditions to be checked before a chart was judged at all, and the state of the Moon stood high on such lists. The move is procedural rather than mystical. Before reading the answer, you establish whether the chart is in a position to give one.

Gemini gives her nothing to hold. Not domicile, not exaltation, not detriment, not fall, which leaves her peregrine, from the Latin for foreigner, a planet crossing a place where it holds no office. She arrives at the first degree of it, having spent the previous day and more in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation, and made no aspect from it. The last quarter comes tomorrow at 07:51 UTC.
