Moon's Configuration: Void-of-Course and Out-of-sign aspects tested
Start with Moon separates from Saturn and applies to Jupiter
Welcome to a new research project on the Moon’s Configuration. As the fastest moving planet, the Moon makes the most frequent number of aspects between itself and other planets. Within horary astrology, understanding the Moon’s Configuration is a key step in understanding whether or not the querent’s question will come to fruition. Within natal astrology, the Moon’s Configuration is emphasized less by traditional authors, a mistake according to my teacher Robert Zoller who included an entire chapter on the Moon’s Configuration in his Diploma Course in Medieval Predictive Astrology.
I turn next to the Moon’s Configuration because of a loose end from the victor project: does the planet to which the Moon applies still a candidate for the victor even though a void-of-course or out-of-sign aspect condition occurs? Surviving natal astrology texts do not agree on this question which deserves a full treatment. In addition, the Moon’s Configuration is a key input into the second soul model based on the configuration of Moon and Mercury. This study must be completed first.
This study follows the order presented by Firmicus Maternus by starting with the Moon’s separation from Saturn; first to Jupiter, then Mars, the Sun, Venus, and Mercury in Chaldean order. I begin with the Moon’s separation from Saturn and application to Jupiter.
A special subscriber-only video walks through this report outlining key points for understanding the subtlety of the Moon’s Configuration.
The report has been lightly edited (spelling) and should be considered an over-the-shoulder look at my research process. Other Moon’s separation from Saturn aspects will be appended to this report and updated on this same post so this Substack doesn’t become overly cluttered.
