Quote from William Lilly 1647
"A Planet is Void of Course when he is separated from a Planet. nor doth forthwith, during his being in that sign, apply to any other. This is most usually in the Moon: in judgments do you carefully observe whether she be Void of Course yea or no; you shall seldom see a business go handsomely forward when she is so.
William Lilly; Christian Astrology 1647.
Gardening with the Moon
When gardening, it's good to understand the influence of the Moon. There are several systems. The system used here is a simple and effective one. Keep in mind, it's best not to plant during a void of course.
When the Moon travels through a Fire Sign,
it's best for fruits, nuts, and seeds.
Earth signs are best for roots.
Air signs are best for flowers,
and Water signs are best for leaves.
This is based on the works of Maria Thun
1922-2012, the founder and preserver of the Biodynamic agriculture.
