Astro Tools You Can Use
What is it?
As the Moon orbits the Earth it passes through the 12 signs of the zodiac. When it has made the last major aspect at the end of a sign and before it enters the next sign it is said to be 'Void of Course'. This period may be seconds, minutes or hours.
What does it mean?
As the name implies, a Void is an empty space. A void can be considered as a short cut, either to get good faster, zip right past or be put in limbo. There is a 'let go' or 'detach' quality with the Void of Course Moon.
Many people feel scattered during this period. The rules are not to make any major decision on a Void of Course Moon. Decisions made at this time tend to be faulty and the outcomes are either what you don't want or expect.
Professional Astrologers have been using this information for ages. Now you too can benefit from this information that's easy to use and invaluable for personal achievements and spiritual development once you've tried it.
How can this help me?
There is an opportunity at the Void of Course Moon Time. This is a time to center ourselves, to meditate, dream and be inspired. Inner peace is possible. It's a time to restore internal batteries. Spiritual discipline takes on a new dimension. Intuition is strong, music can be felt more deeply. A very good time to relax. It's okay to do routine things.
Using the Void of Course Moon we find our balancing point and can tell how we're doing. The Void timing provides natures time to detach from agendas and tune into our own light. The light that shines in each and every living thing. The same light that connects us to our highest wisdom.

What is a Retrograde?
Planetary apparent backward motion. The term 'Apparent' is due to the planets decrease in longitudinal motion. Although there are 9 phases to the Retrograde process there are 3 stages primarily noted. The 1st of the 3 stages is when the planet apparently slows down it becomes Stationary. In the 2nd stage the planet becomes Retrograde. The 3rd stage is when the planet is ready to turn again and this is the Stationary Direct stage.
Why do I want to know this?
They're fascinating! Not only in regards to individual birth chart interpretations or age progressions but also with transits (daily planetary movements). For instance the more Retrogrades (referred to as Rx hereafter) at birth the greater the potential for development, symbolizing energy and drive for accomplishment. If you have one planet Rx at birth you are a lone wolf. If you have 2 or more Rx's at birth this shows unusual potential. Three or more Rx's can be an indication of genius.
There are many keys to using Rx's. They are important because they point to correcting karma from a previous lifetime. They also point to personal complexes. Keywords to Rx's are: Delay, reflection, awareness, attunement to one's own path, unconscious behavior, re-working of conditioned patterns. hidden support or self-undoing.
How can I use Retrograde information for personal benefit?
1) A planet often passes the same degree three times. The first time Direct, then Rx, then Direct again. The final direct passage of a planet may be a constructive one if the concerns raised during its retrograde period were worked through.
2) When a planet is Rx in the birth chart and then that same planet is Rx in transit (daily movement) the energy may be more fulfilling for the individual than direct transits. The individual is able to tune into the expression more easily.
3) By using an astrology calendar in conjunction with your own individual chart you can track the Rx's and use the planetary influence for introspection and constructive action. Let MyStarlines provide the service for you, it will save you much time and timing counts!
