#Void of Course

[hotdigitallegend]

🕯 void of course moon: what it is & how to navigate it 🕯

the universe hit “pause” and forgot to tell you.

what is a void of course moon?

a void of course moon is the period of time after the moon makes its last major aspect (conversation) in a sign… and before it enters the next one. it’s a period of in-between. a liminal hallway. nothing really “lands.” actions don’t have roots. it’s the sky’s version of airplane mode.

✨ it’s not dangerous. it’s mostly floaty, glitchy, weird.

✨ plans fall through. people forget. energy feels off.

✨ it’s not a good time to start anything new. however it is a great time to nap, clean, journal, do nothing on purpose.

it’s the universe’s equivalent of: “let me get back to you on that.”

how this feels depends on your modality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) because the universe doesn’t treat everyone the same.

↓

cardinal signs

(aries ♈︎ cancer ♋︎ libra ♎︎ capricorn ♑︎)

you like to get things moving. but when the moon is void, the energy says sit it down. try not to Hulk out, trying to make things happen will just frustrate you. instead of trying to bulldoze through, this is your moment to plan like a chess master.

🕯 let your “doer” take a nap.

clean out your bag. journal, don’t text. just because nothing is progressing doesn’t mean you’re failing.

fixed signs

(taurus ♉︎, leo ♌︎, scorpio ♏︎, aquarius ♒︎)

you love control, consistency, and knowing what the plan is. a void moon interrupts your groove and you spiral trying to fix it. avoid making any decisions that feel rushed or reactive. you’ll thank yourself when the energy shifts and clarity floods back in.

🕯 don’t force anything, if you have excess energy go do something tactile like scrub the tub, brush your hair, water your plants.

mutable signs

(gemini ♊︎, virgo ♍︎, sagittarius ♐︎, pisces ♓︎)

you live in the in-between already, so void moons hit extra crazy. it’s easy to misread the vibes as a divine sign or existential warning. don’t try to lock down anything solid; this is creative free play

🕯 ground yourself. re-read your last text before you send a novella. you don’t need to solve your whole life today. wait for the fog to lift.

also: don’t flirt with ghosts during void moons.

general reminders:

• don’t launch anything

• don’t confront people

• don’t make big promises

• don’t start a situationship

• don’t assume you know how anyone feels

🤍 do rest.

🤍 do reset.

🤍 do slow down enough to feel what’s actually true.

🤍 do make tea, light a candle, stare at the ceiling dramatically.

🌙 for future reference:

• the last void before march 31, 2025 was march 30th from 9:17 am to 8:16 pm edt — that’s when the moon ghosted aries and slid into taurus. from “let’s burn it down” to “let’s chill and nap.” (hello, grounded energy).

• the next void of course moon occurs on sunday, june 1, 2025, beginning at 11:38 pm edt and ending on monday, june 2, 2025, at 3:00 am edt — the moon leaves leo (drama and glamour) and enters virgo “now, clean up the glitter, sort your inbox, maybe drink some water.”

so if you’re feeling stuck or things feel a little “off” during these windows now you know why. perfect time to lean into rest, creativity, or just slow down a bit. ✨

THE BORN THIS WAY BALL TOUR FASHION: ACT II

As promised, here is the second part of our Born This Way Ball fashion series! Make sure to read the first part as well.

The white patent cage “Bad Romance” dress as well as the jackets worn by the dancers (in my opinion one of the top 3 most notorious TBTWBT costumes) are fruits of cooperation of the London fashion house Void of Course and Gaga’s stylist Brandon Maxwell. 

The white leather mask with ram horns and sharp cheekbones was created by Cecilio Castrillo.

During her show in Melbourne on June 27, Gaga debuted a brand new costume.

The bespoke electric blue cape jacket with sculpted short sleeves and matching mini skirt ensemble were custom made for her, and belong to the Void of Course for TBTWBT collection!

The matching blue perspex crown with metallic golden prongs was custom-made by Tentacle Studio.

Gaga kicked off the Latin American leg of tour in Mexico City, where she performed at the sports and concerts venue Foro Sol in front of more than 40,000 people, where Gaga debuted a new costume for her “Judas” performance.

The embroidered silk bustier dress with exaggerated sculpted hips was custom-made by Christian Lacroix, based on a Haus of Gaga design and a selection of archive pieces hand-picked by Sacha Walckhoff, the creative director of the French fashion house.

Now, “Fashion of his Love”. The first look was this custom Versace body-hugging one-shoulder wet-look gown with side peek-a-boo detail and ultra high side slit. 

In other photos, we can see her wearing matching thigh-high platform boots made by Armani Privé for her.

Next, a bespoke Perry Meek sleeveless red tuxedo dress with notched lapel, architectural exaggerated shoulders and tapered cape-like back. 

One of my favorites, but unfortunately only worn for one show.

Gaga said it’s been her life’s dream to be dressed in Italian designers and she has collaborated on her TBTWBT costumes with some of today’s biggest Italian designers. 

Heart Attack look, the purple flounced taffeta cape with bow detail and giant heart shaped helmet is based on the Moschino Fall/Winter 2012 collection.

The winged solid black statement sunnies with dark grey lenses are the Rana from ksubi’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

The most popular “Fashion of his Love” costume comprises a custom Christian Dada pink origami crane dress featuring deep V-neck and column skirt, matching straw hat, sunglasses and custom Moschino cape made entirely of pink marabou powder puffs.

When I asked Christian about this satin pink dress with foldable skirt, he said: “The origami crane has long been a symbol of healing in the Japanese culture, a symbol Japanese people always put feelings and prayers into. I’ve made it with ‘the reality of Japan’ and ‘hope for the future’ in mind”.

There are about 120 hours of work behind this bespoke wearable piece of art.

The Moon is Void of Course for over 24 hours... Plus Leap Day February 29th.

Void of Course begins February 27, 2024 1:21 pm ET (after the Moon in Libra positively in trine with Venus in Aquarius)

Void of Course ends February 28, 2024 10:09 pm ET when the Moon enters Scorpio

This is the time to take care of yourself. It's not an auspicious time for starting anything new or making decisions, but rather to rest and reflect. Judgments and opinions are considered unreliable during this period. Attempts can lead to frustrations. The mind and emotions are more detached and are not grounded in reality during Void of Course.

2024 is a Leap Year, and tomorrow is Leap Day on February 29th, with a positive connection of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in Pisces with Jupiter in Taurus.

What is on your mind? What do you believe? What do you want? How are you making that vision and idea manifest into physical reality? Dream. Imagine. Create. It's a special day.

Astrology but with Shitty Doodles: Void of Course

[swattingredwing]

the first time i cried in thunderbolts was when they all worked together to save that woman from the chunk of a building

superhero movies are about people who have the ability to help people and choose to do so

that isn’t all there is but i think the mcu has gotten so focused in the weeds of the multiverse and inner group politics and whatever that they forgot that the reason we watch superhero movies is because we want to watch good guys fight bad guys, but more importantly, we want to watch them help people because that’s why they fight the bad guys in the first place

ANNIVERSARY GROOVY BOYBAND! THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD, I also love the hades reference with idia! Ik ur probably really swamped with the book 7 brain rot but I wanted to know ur thoughts. I also wanted to mention that I am so card deprived I feel like I need a replacement event to take tsumderlands place

AUGH NO I LOVE THEM. 😭 UGH now I really have to think about if I want to try pulling for Grim again. dangit. heck. I already got his little pedestal to add my guest room shrine, but...now I kinda need the boss himself...

also, the implications of it not being an OB thing, Idia can just. Do That? apparently? do you think he ever just sometimes does it by accident? what am I saying, he absolutely sometimes does it by accident.

gosh though. this event has been SO cute in general! I was wondering who'd get the focus for year 5; I could not be happier that the answer is apparently EVERYBODY. :D all the dorms get their own special songs! so many cute little scenes!!! the lowest of stakes bringing out the highest of pettiness in everyone!!!!!! it's excellent.

(also, because I will make literally anything about my diaboys...I know these events are typically sorta, let's say chronologically unmoored with regards to story. but the further implications that this takes place pre-episode 7/Malleus' Big Existential Crisis, and yet...some of these lines?)

Is she Lucy Westenra, or is she just a vessel for the writer's barely disguised fantasy of a women being punished for her promiscuity? Is she really"Bram Stoker's" Lucy Westenra: a naive, innocent 19 year old, with a cheery personality and a bright future ahead of her? Or has the writer instead just slapped her name on an OC that behaves nothing like her, and- with none of the grace or decorum that Lucy's tragically short story deserves- sexualized her slow and agonising death as much as possible, whilst very unsubtly doing their best to blame her for being murdered, so that we won't object to her being killed again later in an even more gruesome and sexual manner?

Having some feelings this evening about Frodo’s reaction to people around him being corrupted by desire for the One Ring. How generally devoid it is of any blame placed on that person, and how he instead treats it as a tragedy to spare others from by distancing himself.

It’s a big deal in the latter books that Frodo wants to show Sméagol kindness if possible because things have progressed so far that Frodo can recognize his own experience in him. But what’s really making me stare at a wall right now are Frodo’s early days reactions even before the personal identification is as strong.

Basically, I can’t stop thinking about how deeply Frodo’s reaction to that last encounter with Boromir is informed by the fact that the first person to ever try and take the ring from Frodo was actually Bilbo. The fact that the first person Frodo ever saw corrupted to that point, even for a moment, was the kind, clever, caring uncle who adopted and taught him, and who Frodo thinks the world of.

Just thinking about the personal relationship Frodo had with the very first person he saw the Ring affect and how fundamentally that set the tone for his understanding of it for the entirety of the journey.

Look at my apprentice dang, humanity is doomed

Oh. Oh.

Siffrin isn't just missing the trap switch or keys because they suck at their assigned job. He doesn't. Or at least- didn't.

They miss them because they only have one eye now. Siffrin has bad depth perception. He can't tell if a space in a drawer or book is a bit bigger than it's supposed to be. They can't tell if something is sitting oddly-

He keeps hitting that one table, because he clearly hasn't adjusted to the new depth perception. It's not their fault.

It was never their fault.
