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.
