Highlights of 2030
The longest void period of the year begins on November 22, 2030 at 11:17 and lasts 62h 41m; the Moon is in Libra and made its last aspect as a sextile to Mercury. The shortest period starts on May 31 at 08:06 and lasts only 12m. The average void lasts 12h 55m.
Long voids happen when the Moon completes its last major aspect early in a sign: for the rest of its passage it forms no exact aspect with any classical planet. In electional astrology these stretches are considered unfavourable for new beginnings; when planning a signature, a proposal or a journey, checking the table and moving the hour outside the void is usually enough.
Calculated by the classical method: the five major aspects (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition) that the Moon forms with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn; outer planets are not counted. The void begins at the moment the last aspect becomes exact. Rows with a purple background mark periods longer than 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Void of Course Moon mean?
The Moon is void of course from the moment it completes its last major aspect in a sign until it enters the next sign. During this interval the Moon forms no new exact aspect with a classical planet, and in traditional astrology its course is considered "empty".
How many Void of Course periods are there in 2030?
There are 159 void of course periods in 2030, covering roughly 23% of the year and about 2054h in total. The average length is 12h 55m, and the longest single period is 62h 41m.
What should you avoid during a Void of Course Moon?
In traditional electional astrology these periods are considered unfavourable for new beginnings: signing an important contract, making an offer, a major purchase, marriage or starting a journey. They are fine for routine tasks, rest, finishing pending work and review. If a critical action is needed, simply schedule it outside the void.
Which time zone are the times in, and can I see my local time?
All start and end times are given in UTC. Use the time zone selector above the tables to switch every time to your own zone, or choose your device time automatically.
How is the Void of Course Moon calculated?
By the classical method, only the Moon's five major aspects (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition) to the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are considered; the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are excluded. The void begins the exact moment the last major aspect perfects and ends when the Moon enters the next sign.
Is the Void of Course Moon a bad thing?
No. Being "unfavourable" does not mean unlucky; it only means that new ventures expected to produce results tend to fizzle out during this interval. These periods are valuable for rest, meditation, art, reflection and continuing work already underway.
