Void-of-course moon
The Moon is void of course when it makes no major aspect (conjunction / sextile / square / trine / opposition) to another planet between its last aspect and the moment it changes zodiac sign. Computed from astronomical motion.

What “void of course” means
The void-of-course period is a classical astrological condition defined geometrically: between the last major aspect the Moon makes to a planet (within standard orb), and the moment the Moon crosses into the next zodiac sign.
Different traditions use different aspect orbs and planet sets to define VOC. This page uses the major-aspect convention (0°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 180°) and the seven traditional planets plus the three modern outer planets.
Reference, not advice
This is cultural and astronomical reference, not personal prediction or advice.
Void intervals computed by 30-minute sampling of moon longitude and planet aspect crossings; edge times may differ by ±1 minute from precise ephemeris. This page does not recommend or warn against any personal activity during VOC periods.
