Monday, December 7, 2009, the Moon starts the day in Leo but spends the morning hours Void of Course. The Void of Course period is a time to reflect rather than a time to push forward. Actions initiated or plans made during the VOC Moon often come to nothing, sometimes because of missing information or because plans were impractical in the first place. It is a bit like Mercury Retrograde, with confusion in the air and when plans tend to hit delays. This would be a great morning to sleep in, meditate, or do something relaxing and fun before taking a long lunch.
The Moon enters Virgo at 2:05 PM EST (11:05 AM PST), after which it is suitable for dealing with the Moon ruled activities. This Moon, trine Mercury and Pluto, is especially appropriate for making practical plans, for connecting with and persuading others, and for reaching decisions. We can deal easily with details, coming up with practical ideas and effectively passing them on to others. This Moon is organized and efficient – excellent for handling practical domestic and professional duties. For more about the Moon: An Astrologer's Journal.

In general: Each day of the week is ruled by one of the seven visible planets. Starting at sunrise on Monday until sunrise on Tuesday, the Moon has rule. Certain kinds of activities are especially favored on Monday, provided that the Moon is in good
condition. If the Moon is not in good condition, it is not so good for undertaking certain Moon ruled activities, as there are liabilities
If the Moon IS in good condition, this is a good day for making general changes, for attending to matters that are under development; real estate, building, domestic affairs, cooking, cleaning, laundering, home and family matters, for dealing with the public, for starting school, for legal matters, for meeting or dealing with women. It is a good day to deal with secrets, the sick or needy, or to represent an employer, the head of household or parent.
If the Moon is NOT in good condition, this is a bad day to take on responsibilities that do not belong to the Moon and for making changes against her judgment. It is not good for starting a business where fluctuating changes in fashions or fads are problematic, for loaning money or personal possessions, for starting medications, for adopting animals, to begin building anything, to move, to ask for help or favors, or to leave on a journey.
