Astrological Forecasts

This is one intense month, but it has a lot of built-in advantages.  Use Mercury and Virgo to achieve a lot on the writing front.  The sky changes, and the planets move on.  What some may consider oppression, we can bottle and pour into our work.  Look on the bright side, work hard, and be good to yourself!  Heads Up!

Heads Up!

September 1st falls on a Tuesday with the Moon in Aquarius.  This can be a mentally productive month.  The Moon trines Mercury today, then opposes Venus.  You may have more good ideas than you can handle, and some of them may be actively disliked.  You don’t have to share everything instantly.  Remember that everyone in the world may not be your audience.

Wed Sep 02 sees the Moon in Aquarius almost all day.  The Moon conjuncts Jupiter retrograde.  Look forward to some private good look.  Ten hours later the Moon conjuncts Neptune retrograde.  This could be some private insight, solving some oddball problem.  (Writers have lots of these; at least I do.)

Thu Sep 03 the Moon is in Pisces when Mercury squares Mars.  While good for critical thinking, it can be bad for arguments.  Write scenes full of quarrels.

Fri Sep 04 is the Full Moon at 12 Pis. Today you can fully empathize with people, so protect your own heart.  It’s the perfect day to get into the hearts of your characters, good and bad.  Also, Heads Up.  Mercury goes stationary retrograde on Sunday, so this is the last workday to get in those essential phone calls and emails without the additional complications of a Mercury retrograde.

Sat Sep 05 the Moon conjuncts Uranus retrograde in Pisces. Resist being impatient for change.  It’s also the day before Mercury goes stationary retrograde.  Be prepared.  Heads Up.

Sun Sep 06 the Moon is in Aries all day.  Early, the Moon opposes Mercury stationary.  Expect a lot of thinking but little action.  Later, Mercury goes stationary retrograde at 06Lib.  Brace yourself for a lot of misunderstandings and miscommunications.  Heads Up.

Wed Sep 09 the Moon is in Taurus all day.  Be pragmatic about the beautiful.  Start with fresh flowers in your office.

Thu Sep 10 the Moon enters Gemini, where it stays until Saturday afternoon.  You should be able to do a lot of editing (considering the Mercury retrograde) if not writing of first drafts.  If nothing else, write twisted dialogue.

Fri Sep 11 the Moon is Gemini when Venus opposes Jupiter retrograde.  You may see excesses, but you don’t have to shout in the streets about them.  There are other ways of communication.  Nine hours later Pluto goes stationary direct.  Pluto is firmly in Capricorn now.  Work for improvement.
