At first, in Astrology, when the Moon is in a sign and no longer has the prospect of making a Ptolemaic aspect (angles of 0, 60, 90, 120 and 180 degrees) with another planet until the end of its passage through it, we say that it is empty or off course. Therefore, when we talk about the Moon being off course 2023, we are referring to when this phenomenon will occur next year.

The main characteristic of Moon off course (LFC) is the "unpredictability" factor. Basically, events do not unfold as expected.

In everyday life, when the Moon is off course, there is more chance of delays and unforeseen events, especially if something involves resolving matters that depend on the actions of other people.

For example, if you need to return an item of clothing that you have won and it doesn't fit, it may be that if you do this during the Moon out of Course, you will arrive at the store and cannot find your size (and need to exchange the item for another model), or there will be more delays and problems.

There is also more chance that during this time of the Moon you will buy things that you don't need or that don't have to do with what you really wanted.

What to avoid during the 2023 Out-of-Turn Moon?

Because of the unpredictability factor, important beginnings are generally avoided with this Moon, like a first date with someone or a first appointment with a doctor.

Astrologers recommend that surgeries are not scheduled until about four hours before the Moon turns off course, because there is a possibility, if there are delays and part of the surgery takes place in this condition, that there will be more delays or some obstacle or unforeseen event. It doesn't have to be anything serious, but who wants this during an operation?

In which situations is the Out of Turn Moon good?

We already know, then, that this Moon symbolizes unpredictable developments, and it is more advantageous to take care of important matters when it is on again.

Is there any good use that can be made of this period? Yes, the off course Moon is great for relaxing, letting go, and worrying less about schedule and planning!

It is not the best time, therefore, for you to press someone for some result or work, as it is as if everyone is a bit more "out of it".

The Out of Turn Moon is favorable for meditation, reflection, rest, and acting with greater flexibility, since it is often the case that arranged programs can change under this influence or take longer than expected (check out a complete guide on how to meditate here) .

The CFL has the look of the weekend, and when it happens for many hours during this period, it is hardly noticed. It is more complicated, therefore, for goals. It is common that it generates deviations, such as something that starts with one intention and becomes something else, or it just gets lost somehow.

The "incommunicability" of the Moon, which will no longer make aspects while in a sign, is what would generate this unpredictability that characterizes it.

The Moon off course in major events and countries

On the other hand, the Moon off course has a curious facet in world events: precisely because it is unpredictable. In this sense, when something important happens during this period, the impact can be quite large, with some difficulty in assessing the consequences that it will generate.

For example, we can cite two famous events: the first is the fall of the Berlin Wall. Did anyone at the time have any idea how the integration between the two Germanies would occur and all the impact that this event would also generate on the issue of communism and the then Soviet Union, which, after this event, was fragmented into several countries?

Just like the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, that left the world jaw-dropping, something like "I can't believe this is happening".

Consequently, the event raised many uncertainties about how the United States would react and how the issue of terrorism would look in the world context, whether the planet would be taken over by serial events of that kind. Nevertheless, the worst predictions did not come true, which in this case may have been a positive effect of the Moon going off course.

The United States is an example of a country with an off-course Moon, whose Moon is in Aquarius, so the unpredictability factor is reinforced, due to the sign the Moon is in, which is also characterized by the possibility of abrupt and unusual actions.

Therefore, the actions of this country are often unexpected, and there are also collective situations within it that create scares, such as rebellious young people or individuals (ruled by Aquarius) committing crazy acts, like school shootings.

Not to mention two famous bombings that took away a president of the Republic (John Kennedy) and a world idol (John Lennon).
