Reading During the Void Moon?

[Cotillion]

Now I may not be able to explain this well....so I’ll understand if there are many questions before my question is answered..but does anyone do readings with success when the Moon is Void of Course? I’ve seen many different sides as to why one should or shouldn’t do readings while this is occuring. Just for the longest time I have kinda had it stuck in my head to never ever do readings during this time...whether the moon is void for a half hour, or for the whole day....but I’ve wanted to try and change my own opinion, and would like to help from people here (or maybe I’m right to be thinking this way).

Here are two articles I’ve found, one of them being from a blog that speaks out against reading during this time. The other is one detailing what Void of Course is

(It isn’t allowing me to post links to external sites probably because im so new here....and I would totally remove them, but I feel the links to be vital to this post...so people know what I’m talking about and where I’m coming from in my opinion. So i guess just put “www” in front of the links)

Hmmm that’s rather interesting. It’s not something I’ve ever thought about or even knew of to be honest. I had a quick look at those two sites and the first one has a lunar calendar link which I checked out also. I actually did a reading after doing a massage this morning that was a bit difficult to comprehend, and it turns out when I did it was right after the current Void of Course Moon started! I think I might wait till after it finishes tomorrow to give the spread another go (it was a spirit guide spread and I’m sure my new guide won’t mind me doing it again lol).

 

You could always do some experiments yourself to see if there’s any noticeable difference?

At the end of the day though, as with anything tarot related, you do whatever works best for you. It’s ok if you can’t get past the idea of doing readings during a Void of Course Moon, if you find that works best for you then why not! If you feel like you have to do a little dance before you sit down to do a reading then that’s ok too. You do you, and that’s all that matters :)

I personally don't follow moon rules for doing readings, although I sometimes especially read on a Full Moon or Eclipse for a more powerful reading. I must have done readings on Void of Course Moon but never noticed any difference! It happens monthly as one sign changes to another, I have never noticed it honestly!

 

If you want to follow the Moon very carefully, you do different types of readings on different cycles (some people do magic(k) and gardening and other pursuits via these cycles as well)....

Magical Moon Phases

 

The period of and immediately following a new moon is often considered a time of new beginnings and re-evaluation. If your question has to do with starting something new, this is a good time for a reading. Consider the new moon phase for questions relating to starting a new job or relationship, moving to a new place, or taking on a challenge that until now, you’ve never been ready for.

 

During the waxing moon, as the moon is working its way towards the full stage, many people like to do readings involving bringing things towards them. In other words, this is a time to focus on things that are already in your life that you might want to grow. Are you questioning whether you want to have another child? Continue your education after all these years? Take on a second job?

 

The full moon is typically seen as a period of intuition and wisdom. In many magical traditions, the three days before or after the full moon are still considered “full,” but you’ll have to make your own call on that. Some people believe that any reading done during a full moon is going to have a lot more intuitive oomph to it, simply because the moon is full and our intuitive abilities are peaking during this time. If you want to focus on the purpose of your readings specifically, this is a good time to do readings related to matters of spirituality, personal development, and inner growth.

 

Finally, during the waning moon, this is the period–as with many magical activities–for getting rid of stuff. Are you doing a reading because you’re thinking about eliminating certain things from your life? Are you questioning a toxic relationship, a bad job situation, or some other element of your world that leaves you unsatisfied and discontent? What about something unpleasant in your past? If it’s dragging you down, a reading during this moon phase could tell you it’s time to shed your baggage.
