Moon Phase Cycle: Bigger Picture

The Void of Course Moon is the period of time after the Moon has made its last aspect in one sign until the Moon enters a new sign. During the Void of Course Moon periods, it is generally wise to stick to routine rather than to begin new projects. The last aspect the Moon makes before changing signs is indicated here and is indicative of the “outcome” of the matter (whether that is a new project begun before the void period or the answer to a question in Horary Astrology).
Void of Course in Horary Astrology: If you were asking a question and making a chart for the answer, as you do in Horary astrology, it is said that since the Moon is not looking forward to any more aspects in this sign, you would have to say that the answer is not forthcoming; any questions asked at this time would not come to pass. The Moon being Void is one of the Strictures against Judgment in Horary Astrology. The following tables incorporate the modern planets, but some astrologers do not count Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in void Moon calculations.
Timing with the Moon – Better Periods this Week for Electing New Initiatives
The Moon is waxing this week, which is usually considered favorable for new beginnings, with exceptions. (See Best Time to Start a Business for more details).
According to principles of timing with the Moon, a window of opportunity occurs this week on Sunday, August 15th, from approximately 8:25 PM to 11:05 PM EDT while the Moon is in Scorpio. Another window occurs on Tuesday, August 17th, from approximately 2:20 PM to 9:40 PM EDT while the Moon is in Sagittarius. Another window occurs from Wednesday, August 18th, from approximately 7:30 AM EDT, to Thursday, August 19th, at approximately 7:55 PM EDT, while the Moon is in Capricorn.

This Week’s Aspects
Sun quincunx Neptune. It can be difficult to concentrate and to formulate clear goals just now. Misconceptions abound. Fear of being ineffective can undermine our confidence when it comes to making clear or definite decisions, and for doing new things.
Venus sesquiquadrate Uranus. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have us acting on a whim. We may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in our relationships. Relationships or finances can be unpredictable. Changes now can create fresh opportunities, however, that can add to our sense of joy and freedom.
Mercury quincunx Saturn. Communication challenges today make it hard to get a point across. Delays, “red tape”, and vague feelings of forgetting important details.
Mercury sesquiquadrate Pluto. “Suspicious minds” characterize this transit, although if we harness the energy, we can develop strategies to get to the bottom of any matter. Mistrust, investigations. Some level of mental stress and pressure. A troubled mind.
Sun quincunx Pluto. Adjustments are necessary now in order for our lives to move forward. The need to make changes in our life that will further our psychological development arise now.
Jupiter semi-square Chiron. This can be a time when we are hungry for meaning and understanding, but it can be difficult to align ourselves with a personal philosophy or belief system that truly reflects our core. We might be led astray by beliefs and ideas now, or we might experience some form of crisis of faith. It is important to look within and come to a greater understanding of what we truly need or believe, rather than blindly following something that doesn’t truly serve our purpose. New business endeavors may require a closer look before pushing forward.
Mars quincunx Chiron. We might doubt the effectiveness of our efforts to go after what we want under this influence, which can lead to passive-aggressive behavior, defensiveness, or frustration.
Mercury quincunx Chiron. Decisions can be hard to come by under this influence, as we tend to doubt our perceptions or the effectiveness of our ability to solve problems. It can be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate now, which can lead to misunderstandings.
Mercury conjunct Mars. This is a good energy for debate or energetic mental work. We may be called upon to make a decision, but it may be a hasty, ill-considered one. We may be argumentative and irritable under this influence, and particularly impatient with vagueness. Be careful to avoid cutting words and aggressive driving. Our minds may be especially clear and active, and this can be a good time to eliminate wasteful activities. This influence excites and over-stimulates the whole nervous system.
Sun opposition Jupiter. Conflicting urges with regards to what we think we should do and what we want to do can be frustrating now. There can be a tendency to go overboard and to indulge in extravagances. Watch for overestimating your capabilities now. Culminations or surprising changes in a project or ambition might occur now. The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach.
Sun sesquiquadrate Chiron. The desire to learn and grow through experiences and through others is strong, but may be hampered by a lack of confidence or a fear of being different.
Mercury trine Uranus. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. The intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by.
AUGUST 20
Mercury forms a trine to Uranus this morning, encouraging inventiveness. With this mind-opening aspect, we seek answers that are not the most obvious ones, and we can get to some exciting places on a mental level now. We’re expressing ourselves in different or unique ways rather than falling back on old habits of thinking and communicating, and it’s successful. Conversations can be gently provocative, leading to new ideas and perspectives. Insights or creative ideas come suddenly, unexpectedly, and brilliantly. The Moon continues its transit of responsible Capricorn until 4:49 AM EDT, at which time it moves into humanitarian, unconventional Aquarius.
The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Aquarius today at 4:49 AM EDT.
AUGUST 21
The Moon spends the day in the sign of Aquarius, and we seek to be impartial. We’re fair and honest, and we’re drawn to new and unique ways of approaching the world around us. Venus is approaching a trine to the True North Node, and Mars approaches a trine to Uranus, furthering themes of improvement and progress. With the Venus-Node trine, we are more dedicated than usual to creating harmony. We make an extra effort to be agreeable and cooperative–an attitude that helps us reach our goals. We could feel lucky in love or business, and we might make a fortunate connection. Under this influence, we’re looking to branch out a little and explore our more independent or adventurous side. It’s far easier to let go of grudges or baggage in the name of progress. The Mars-Uranus trine encourages an open, bold, and progressive approach. This transit motivates us to get out of a rut, innovate, or entertain new methods, nudging us out of our comfort zones. We are in tune with our desire to make positive changes and improvements in our lives. Working toward our dreams and inspired goals comes naturally today. At the same time, we hold the power of detachment that helps us choose paths that make the most sense.
Stocks steady after Delta, Fed jolt
Aug 20 2021
While vaccinations continue to be rolled out around the world, traders are growing increasingly worried about the fast-spreading Delta variant, which is forcing some governments to reimpose strict containment measures
London (AFP) - European and US stocks steadied on Friday after fears over the fast-spreading Delta variant, the Federal Reserve’s taper plans and China’s regulatory crackdown took the wind out of the sails of the global recovery rally this week.
Oil prices continued to fall on concerns the surge in the Delta variant of Covid-19 could lead to further closures and restrictions that dampen energy demand.
London stocks were a couple points higher in afternoon trading amid news UK supermarket Morrisons accepted a £7.0-billion ($9.6-billion, 8.2-billion-euro) takeover from US private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice.
Frankfurt dipped 0.1 percent and Paris added 0.1 percent.
On Wall Street, both the Dow and S&P 500 opened flat, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.3 percent.
Stock markets have tanked this week on worries the latest wave of Covid-19 infections would crimp global growth, with major indices set the end the week lower.
Sentiment was slammed also after the Federal Reserve signalled it would begin to taper its stimulus this year.
Investors have been on edge additionally over Afghan unrest and China’s regulatory crackdown.
- ‘Sentiment fragile’ -
“Sentiment remains fragile for the moment, and with lighter trading volumes during August, more market volatility is extremely possible,” forecast Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor.
A speech by Fed boss Jerome Powell at next week’s gathering of central bankers and finance chiefs at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, will be keenly watched for a taper timetable and Covid recovery plans.
“Markets may struggle for direction until the latter part of next week given a dearth of corporate and economic updates,” noted AJ Bell analyst Danni Hewson.
“The Jackson Hole summit kicking off next Thursday (will give) central bankers and other economic decision makers a chance to outline their plans for the next phase of the pandemic recovery.”
Investors have for more than a year sent share prices surging thanks to colossal government and central bank support as well as optimism that vaccine rollouts would enable economies to reopen.
However, the virus mutation has forced experts to rethink their outlooks for growth as some countries reimpose containment measures and infection rates rise.
On Friday, Hong Kong’s main stocks index closed down nearly two percent after Beijing passed a sweeping privacy law to prevent state and private firms from collecting sensitive information on people.
The move comes after leaders clamped down on a range of industries – particularly tech giants – citing personal data issues as well as security and antitrust breaches.

Hackers steal $97 mn from Japanese crypto exchange
Aug 20 2021
Thieves trying to steal cryptocurrencies typically move the funds through many different accounts at dizzying speed -- sometimes hundreds of thousands of transactions -- in an attempt to cover their tracks.
Tokyo (AFP) - Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Liquid was scrambling Friday to recover stolen assets worth nearly $100 million, in the second such major heist by hackers in recent days.
The Tokyo-based company said in a statement Thursday that it had “detected unauthorized access of some of the crypto wallets managed at Liquid”.
Elliptic, a London-based firm which helps track stolen cryptocurrencies, said its analysis found “just over $97 million in cryptoassets have been received by the accounts identified by Liquid as belonging to the thief”.
“Our investigators are also aiding Liquid with tracking the stolen funds,” Elliptic added in a blog post.
The heist comes after a hacker stole assets worth $600 million last week from cryptocurrency trading company Poly Network, before gradually giving the money back, claiming they had pulled off the theft to highlight a security flaw.
Liquid said it had suspended cryptocurrency withdrawals while it assesses the impact of the attack, although trading was continuing.
Cryptocurrencies have soared in popularity as assets in recent years, despite their volatility and concerns over their environmental impact as trading them requires vast quantities of electricity.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies use a technology called blockchain, which ensures that every transaction is recorded.
Thieves trying to steal cryptocurrencies typically move the funds through many different accounts at dizzying speed – sometimes hundreds of thousands of transactions – in an attempt to cover their tracks.
However, industry players have grown better at identifying and blocking stolen coins.
Liquid said $16.3 million worth of stolen Ethereum had already been frozen “due to the assistance of the crypto community and other exchanges”.
