Cancer to Void of Course
Venus Retrograde Begins
Please refer to the Moon Magic course and The Moon and the Zodiac course on this blog for additional details. With the knowledge of those courses within us – here’s how today’s energies align… May you find a way to work with today’s energies to help you get closer to your goal, achieve what you desire, protect yourself or rid things that no longer align with you.
Venus Retrograde begins today
As Venus stations retrograde today, October 3, 2026, shifting backward through intense Scorpio and graceful Libra, the cosmic spotlight turns inward toward our deepest relational truths, values, and hidden emotional undercurrents.
Over the coming weeks, this celestial backspin invites us to untangle old heart-space knots, reassess where we give and take our energy, and reconsider how we define true intimacy and self-worth.
Rather than rushing into new romantic or financial commitments, let this potent portal serve as a sacred pause to heal past wounds, reflect on our desires, and reclaim our authentic power from the shadows.
This retrograde ends November 13, 2026.
Day – Saturday lends energies to banishing, can be associated with death but not necessarily physical death – it could be the “death” of something you want gone or the end of something that no longer serves your best interests/purposes.
Zodiac – The moon starts out in Cancer. The Moon in Cancer lends energies towards efforts around your home and domestic life.
At 11:09am Eastern Time, the moon moves out of Cancer and goes Void of Course. When the moon is void of course, you may wish to refrain from working any magic as the energies will be void, so you may not see the effect you intended.
Moon – Today, the moon reaches Last Quarter phase at 9:24am Eastern Time. This is the half way point between the full moon and the new moon. As it is still a waning moon, it’s great energy to discard, banish or release any and all things that no longer serve your highest purposes.
So today – This morning, while the moon is still in Cancer, you can combine the waning moon with Saturday and Cancer to boost your efforts to banish, discard, remove, release or – with Saturday’s energies in mind – let expire anything that has been blocking, hindering or negatively affecting/impacting your home or domestic life.
Whatever you choose to do today, be clear with your intention and mindful with your words. Happy Manifesting!
