WHY ARE SOME DAYS GOOD DAYS
The level of ease or difficulty of a day is determined by the Moon's activity during its entire time it is in a sign which can last approximately 2.5 days. After the Moon changes signs, the assessment of the level of ease or difficulty can change also. The first thing to consider is the Moon's final aspect to a planet before leaving a sign which begins a void of course Moon period. Whether the aspect is favorable or unfavorable will determination whether it will be a good, tough or somewhere in-between type day for your endeavors. This is not how the day feels. That is something all together different. This defines the how things will work out if you do something of importance on a given day. You want to choose a day that is rated good for most business activities. Certainly if entering into agreement with anyone, you would choose a good day. Thoughtful purchases should avoid tough days and void of course Moon periods. Certainly if you are planning a trip you would choose a good to purchase the ticket for a travel date on a good day.

A determination is made is based on the widely used Ptolemy aspects (0°, 60°, 90°, 120° and 180°) but there are a few more to consider; the 30° semi-sextile and the 150° quincunx. Also, I look for a parallel or contra-parallel (alignment in declination) as the final aspect of the Moon. These aspects are powerful and support a positive outcome. Parallels attract long term benefits and contra parallels allow for temporary assistance for a one time only form of support. This is an aspect that is seen when someone comes along to help you out of a jam.

You will not find the void of course Moon periods calculated for these aspects in popular astrology calendars. I find these aspects to be especially important when a slow moving outer planet is receiving the Moon's last aspect.


Moon/Sun Midpoint Sign Changes
Try looking at your surrounding circumstances through the view of the Moon and Sun midpoint. This is the point where you meet others halfway or the point of collaboration. It is a marriage point of sorts- or a merging or compromise point. It may help to learn what energy promotes this agreement point between family members, other people or companies. If a planet is adversely situated by a square or an opposition to the midpoint then this indicates difficulty coming to agreements or obstacles in the path.

These midpoints do not follow an obvious pattern, but there is a pattern. The point will move along in zodiacal order for a while and then pops over to the opposite side of the zodiac after the Moon and Sun oppose at a Full Moon.

When the Moon/Sun midpoint travels through Fire Signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) people are more adventurous, romantic and open and direct with one another with creative ideas.

Expect spontaneity along with the lack of reflection. This can be a to encourage other to let bygones be bygones and live life for today.

Activities are conducted on an emotional level or emotional topics that affect the next step based on how things feel. All the water signs have secretive characteristics when dealing with others. Meetings tend to be private and operating with hidden agendas or with the person on the inside when the midpoint travels through water signs. Expect passive/aggressive behavior with Cancer. Invitations are considered an honor and are reserved for those considered to be family or trusted insiders. When the midpoint travels through Scorpio, people join for intense events such as births and deaths or to sort through estates and important financial matters. Sexual agenda becomes more important and pregnancy is more likely. Insults lead to brooding. Psychological slights are easily passed without intention but may reap havoc in relationships. This point traveling through Pisces increases sensitivity to others and compassion leads to generosity of spirit. However self pity can be an issue. Matters of concern are with the victim/victimizer. Joined spiritual endeavors are more enriching.
