14 voids, 17% void
Golden leaves, and a Taurus void that stretches across most of a day.
October is sweater weather, pumpkin everything, and fourteen voids. The longest comes just after the Full Moon in Aries: the Moon trines Jupiter in Taurus and then goes quiet for almost a full day before reaching Gemini.
A Taurus void is honestly a gift if you treat it right. Taurus likes food, comfort and not being rushed. Spend it on a slow brunch, a long walk under the leaves, or a nap. Spend it on a high-stakes negotiation and tradition says you may be waiting a while.
The rest of the month is easier. A Cancer void late in the month lasts barely an hour and a half. The New Moon in Scorpio at the end of the month sits just before Halloween, a fitting moment in the astrological year for endings, private resolutions and anything you would rather keep to yourself for now.
8th of 12
October 2027, counted
14 windows, 124 h. 8th of 12 by hours; 12% under a 2027 month's mean; none past 24 h. Weekend starts (UTC): 4. Weekday 13:00 to 22:00 UTC starts: 4.
The Full Moon at 21°59′ Aries on Fri Oct 15 · 13:47 UTC, the New Moon at 5°54′ Scorpio on Fri Oct 29 · 13:36 UTC: 2, both clear of any void.
The sky behind it
October last aspects: Saturn 5, Mars 3, Venus 3, Sun 2, Jupiter 1. Method.
5 planets close voids
Conjunctions in the mix
October has three conjunctions among its last aspects, more than any other month of 2027. The Moon conjoins Mars in Scorpio on October 3 and then runs void for about sixteen hours, conjoins Saturn in Aries on the 15th, and conjoins Venus in Scorpio on the 31st, the last window of the month, which lasts about two and a half hours.
Saturn closes five voids in total, starting and ending the month with oppositions from Libra on October 1 and October 28. Venus closes three: a sextile from Sagittarius on the 6th, a sextile from Virgo on the 26th and that Halloween conjunction.
The Full Moon in Aries on October 15 falls about five hours before the Aries void begins, so the lunation itself is clear. Only one window this month passes twenty hours, the Taurus void from the 17th to the 18th. Fridays and Sundays (UTC) start four voids each, which puts a void at the start of several weekends.

October: when to wait, when to go
Try this today
- Book a slow Taurus brunch for the long void.
- Use the Scorpio New Moon to set one private intention.
- Run your Halloween party start time through the checker.
Keep the Taurus void for rest. Put launches and first meetings in the first half of the month or around the Scorpio New Moon, outside its nearest window.
The weekend to watch is October 16 to 18. The Aries void runs from the evening of the 15th into the morning of the 16th, and then the Taurus void runs from 12:36 UTC on Sunday the 17th to 10:46 UTC on Monday the 18th. That makes a Monday morning email in Europe still technically void. Halloween has a short Scorpio void from 06:00 to 08:24 UTC, well before any party starts in the Americas.

Worth knowing
The Aries Full Moon and the long Taurus void sit back to back. A good rhythm for the week: act at the Full Moon, rest through the void.

Quick answers
Is the Moon void of course on Halloween 2027?
Run October 31, 2027 through the checker in your time zone; the October table lists every window, including those around the Scorpio New Moon.
What is the longest void of course Moon in October 2027?
About 22 hours in Taurus, after the Moon's trine to Jupiter, just after the Aries Full Moon.
Does a void touch the Hunter's Moon in Aries this October?
Not the lunation itself. Opposition to the Sun comes at 13:47 UTC on October 15, and the Moon then has one more contact to make in Aries, a conjunction with Saturn at 18:37 UTC. Only after that does the void start, running through the night to 04:36 UTC on the 16th.
