Heads Up!

The Writer’s Astrological Almanac

August starts on a Saturday, Saturn’s day of the week (duh), and nicely enough Saturn goes stationary direct on August 1. Never mind that Saturn is still in the closing degrees of Scorpio and doing what it can to be a good guest in the house of Mars (or, if you rather, the house of Pluto). You can get back to serious work and see accomplishment again, so why wait?

Sat Aug 01 the Moon enters Pisces in the afternoon and Saturn goes stationary direct at night. If emotions rise, so do consequences. Good time to write those emotionally charged scenes. Heads Up.

Sun Aug 02 the Moon conjuncts Neptune in Pisces. Dreams are some of your best resources. Use them.

Tue Aug 04 the Moon is in rambunctious Aries when Venus and Jupiter form a conjunction in Leo. Sometimes too much of a good thing is not such a good thing. Consider the plot complications.

Wed Aug 05 the Moon conjuncts Uranus in Aries. Daring self-serving acts may be irresistible. Perhaps a protagonist of yours could use this. Before evening, the Moon has entered Taurus. Reward yourself for staying out of trouble and go have a good meal.

Thu Aug 06 the Moon is in Taurus when Mercury conjuncts Venus in Leo. Popular thoughts and mainstream interests have their appeal and plus sides.
