Sun enters the next Sabian symbol 17/09 at 18:30 h (chart) Virgo 25-26° – Sabian symbol 176"A boy with a censer" |
Friday, SEPTEMBER 17
The Venus-Saturn square perfects early today. We might focus on the negative possibilities, which can be the first step before we get to a place of realism. We could be feeling unsatisfied, isolated, or unloved, which puts us on guard or defensive with our feelings and affections. Fears are most likely at the root of this. We may feel a little discouraged on a social level if we don’t receive the feedback we crave. Difficulties socializing can occur if we are more sensitive to rejection than usual. There may be a lesson or reality check with matters of the heart, pleasure, or finances. We’re cautious and unlikely to be free or generous with money or our hearts temporarily.
The Moon spends the day in Aquarius, and friends, community, groups, causes, and happiness goals can be in stronger focus now. The Mercury-Neptune quincunx occurring shortly into the day tomorrow influences the day as it advances. This transit can diffuse our concentration or focus. We may be wavering due to uncertainty as it can be challenging to combine logic and intuition cohesively. Or, the tendency to daydream comes at the expense of productivity and clear communication. There can be some mental disorganization to manage.
Saturday, SEPTEMBER 18
The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius until 10:23 PM, bringing friendly, uplifting, objective, and intelligent energy to our lives. The Moon aligns with Jupiter this morning, encouraging us to embrace our unique side or social life. We can feel inspired to reach for our joy, seeking to grow, expand, and improve. The desire to connect and make others happy is strong.
The Moon heads into the sign of Pisces at 10:23 PM, bringing on gentle, creative, and compassionate energy. We begin to seek ways to detox and let go.
The void Moon occurs from 11:14 AM , with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Pisces at 10:22 PM .
The Void of Course Moon.
The Moon is considered “Void of Course” when it doesn’t make any major applying aspects before changing signs.
When determining the Void of Course Moon period, traditional astrology only considers major aspects (that is, the conjunction, sextile, square, trine, and opposition) that are applying. Applying aspects occur when the planets forming the aspect are moving closer to the point of contact.
In practical terms, the faster-moving planet (when the Moon is involved, it is always the faster-moving planet) is at a degree that is less than the slower-moving planet. For example, if the Moon is at 25 degrees Aries, and the Sun is at 26 degrees Libra, the Moon is forming an applying aspect (an opposition) to the Sun.
After the Moon has made its last major aspect before changing signs, the Void of Course phase begins. Therefore, in our example, if the opposition to the Sun is the last aspect the Moon will make before it changes signs (in this case, moves to 0 degrees Taurus), the Moon will enter the Void of Course phase (at 26 degrees Aries until 0 degrees Taurus in our example).
According to theory, most activities should be initiated when the Moon is not Void of Course. New activities started during the void period generally don’t work out to our liking, or they need some serious adjustment in order for them to meet any success. It’s not necessarily that they fail to materialize, but that it’s a hard path.
Therefore, if possible, one should avoid going on a first date, a job interview, starting a business or project, and so forth, during the Void of Course Moon. In Horary Astrology, in which a person asks a question and then the astrologer draws a chart of that moment in order to find an answer, if the Moon is Void of Course, we generally consider that “nothing will come of the matter.”
When is the Moon Void of Course? Refer to our chart below for the current months. Notice that our charts show the last major applying aspect the Moon makes before changing signs (for example, it squares Mars). You can also use this table to see the Moon’s sign for the months shown! The date and time the Moon changes sign are shown in the chart.
What is a Void Moon Good for?
- Finishing up projects that have already begun before the void of course Moon.
- Taking stock, making to-do lists, and finding lost objects.
- Editing, refining, and reviewing.
- Social events with established friends and with family.
- Rest and sleep will be more peaceful during the void of course Moon.
- Getting rid of excess.
What activities should be avoided during the Void Moon?
- Meeting new people with whom you might want a long-term relationship.
- Job interviews, presentations of new ideas
- Making important, large purchases (items bought now may not be used, might not turn out as expected, etc.)
- Beginning new projects, launching a new business or starting a new job.
It is generally considered better to begin our projects during Moon windows when the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs is a harmonious one.
In other words, when the Moon is NOT void (before the Moon’s void period) if the last major aspect it makes is a harmonious one, such as a sextile or trine, activities are favored for positive outcomes. The harmonious last aspects are marked by an (H) and the challenging ones are marked by a (C). Conjunctions are not marked as either harmonious or challenging because they depend on the nature of the planet involved – they can be neutral, harmonious, or challenging. Generally, then, we will be looking to start projects during a period that ends with an (H) or when the last aspect is a conjunction to Venus or Jupiter.
We can use the above void tables to discover these windows as follows:
For example, from the 2020 table above:
Jul 20, 2020, 4:16 PM, Moon enters Leo
Jul 21, 2020, 8:27 PM, Moon sextile (H) Ven V/C
The period from July 20, 2020, at 4:16 PM [when the Moon enters a new sign, in this case, Leo], to July 21, 2020, at 8:27 PM [when the Moon forms its last major aspect before leaving the sign of Leo] would be considered a flowing period for beginning new projects. This is due to the idea that the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs is symbolic of a matter’s final outcome, and in this case, it’s represented by the Moon’s harmonious aspect (a sextile) to Venus.
There are other considerations for electing good times to start things, but this is a fine way to do some narrowing down or to begin the process of weeding out.
Void periods do not necessarily deny results but results can be more challenging to achieve during void Moon periods, so it may be best to avoid starting new projects during a void Moon. The Moon phase is another important consideration for the timing of events.
France says can't trust Australia in trade talks after subs snub
Sep 17 2021
France has called Australia's decision to cancel a submarine contract a "stab in the back"
Paris (AFP) - France said Friday that it was unable to trust Australia in ongoing talks on forging a trade deal with the EU, after Canberra ditched a deal to buy French submarines in favour of US vessels.
Paris, which has called the Australian decision a “stab in the back”, appeared to issue a threat that it could affect far-reaching trade talks.
“We’re having trade negotiations with Australia,” European Affairs Minister Clement Beaune told the France 24 news channel. “I don’t see how we can trust our Australian partners.”
The European Commission, which negotiates trade deals on behalf of its member governments, and Australia this spring completed an 11th round of trade negotiations that began in 2018.
The next round of the talks, which cover areas including trade, services, investment and intellectual property rights, is scheduled for the autumn of this year.
The EU is Australia’s third-biggest trading partner, with 2020 trade in goods valued at 36 billion euros ($42.4 billion, Aus$58 billion) and at 26 billion euros in services.
France’s Naval Group, partly owned by the state, had been chosen to build 12 conventionally powered submarines for Australia, based on France’s Barracuda nuclear-powered subs in development.
The contract was worth around Aus$50 billion when announced in 2016.
- ‘Subservience’ -
But US President Joe Biden and the prime ministers of Australia and Britain announced Wednesday a new defence pact that would see Canberra get a nuclear-powered submarine fleet, a privilege Washington has until now only reserved for Britain.
Beaune added that London’s decision to join the AUSUK alliance could cast a lasting pall over its post-Brexit relations with Europe.
“Our British friends told us they were quitting the EU to create a Global Britain,” he said. “But we see that Global Britain means a return to the American fold, and a form of accepted subservience.”
So far, Beaune added, London has declined on extend Brexit negotiations with the EU to areas of security and defence.
“That’s a pity,” he said. Maybe it will change in the near future. We hope so.”

Bitcoin mining generates substantial electronic waste: study
Sep 17 2021
Bitcoin mining generated 30,700 tonnes of electronic waste in the 12 months to May, a study found
London (AFP) - Mining for bitcoin generates substantial electronic waste that “represents a growing threat to the environment”, according to a recent study.
A co-author of the report told AFP on Friday that the average life cycle of the powerful computers used to unearth the units of the world’s leading cryptocurrency was only 1.3 years.
Alex de Vries noted that this was “extremely short compared to any” other electronic devices such as iPhones.
At 30,700 tonnes, the amount of electronic waste generated by bitcoin mining in the 12 months to May was “comparable to the amount of small IT and telecommunication equipment waste produced by a country like the Netherlands”, the report said.
The race to find new bitcoins – on Friday, one unit was worth more than $47,000 following a stellar rise this year – means the mining computers’ processing power soon becomes obsolete.
And the more bitcoin is worth, the larger the amount of electronic waste, according to the study published by scientific journal, Elsevier.
Alex de Vries works as an economist at the Dutch central bank, while the report’s co-author Christian Stoll is from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Despite the high amount of waste, it remains a fraction of the global total from throwing away electronic devices, which stood at 53.6 million tonnes last year.
