A void of course Moon in Cancer begins at 10:34AM ET and carries us through the whole business day — not to enter Leo until 6:11AM ET. If you didn’t get it off your desk yesterday, be prepared for unexpected twists and detours if you’re trying to move swiftly in a straight line. The potential for communication snafus is also higher than usual, courtesy of a challenge between nebulous Neptune and mental Mercury. On the plus side, you may find opportunities for creative brainstorming, as long as you can be flexible with your schedule. Go with the flow! If you’re new to the forecast and don’t know what a void of course Moon is, check out the forecast posted on February 10, 2012.

Once Moon enters royal Leo, the party mood sets in, kicking off a festive holiday weekend here in the States. Enjoy the fun on Saturday — with or without the rose-tinted glasses suggested by patterns that are particularly idealistic. More easy flow on Sunday, with a special nod to innovative ideas and communication, brought to you by a smooth connection between rebel Uranus and Mercury. How will this tie in with your New Moon agenda, which highlights visionary shifts in words and ideas? And what challenge to that agenda will you note on Monday around 4:16PM ET, suggested by the First Quarter Moon?  Eh…worry about it on Monday. On Sunday, the fun-loving Leo Moon goes void on an exuberant, indulgent connection to expansive Jupiter — at 7:54 PM ET.
