Problem: quieting the mind chatter – sometimes it’s really hard!

Solution: when possible, plan your meditation for when the Moon is ‘void of course’ (Moon voc). I’ll explain what that is later, in case you care. The point is, these are the periods when emotional concerns are at the lowest point, so it is much easier to clear your mind.

If you are like me you meditate at a regular time and frequency, and most of the time this won’t coincide with Moon voc. When you can take advantage of this, you could receive some real insight.

 Take a look at table below. You will see that the voc periods last from minutes like on July 20^th , to a day or so. See the definition for Moon v/c below the table.

 Void of Course Moon for July 2010

 Void Begins                Void Ends 

 The Moon is our emotional activator. When it makes a hard aspect with Saturn for example, there is background energy about security, 'the rules', etc. When it is not making any aspects to other planets, the mental static is at a minimum.

 What it’s good for: Meditation. Taking a break from intense activity, music, reading etc. Since it’s less likely that 'stuff' happens, if you need to have a possible confrontation meeting, this is the time.

What it’s not good for: With some exceptions, this is not the time to start a project that needs specific results. These are periods lacking focus, so we tend to miss important details.
