Heads Up!The Astrological Almanac for Writers

October 19th- 26th  2015 (all times are PDT)

by Kathy Watts

Mon Oct 19 the Moon conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn.

Relax and do what makes sense to you. Don’t stress about anything, except perhaps a deadline and then deal with that calmly, too.

Wed Oct 21 the Moon is in Aquarius all day.

Remember to step back and look at the things from a bigger perspective. Perhaps read someone else’s work that deals with subjects similar to yours.

Tue Oct 22 the Moon is in Aquarius when Mercury makes a square with Pluto.

Everything may look and sound off, but don’t believe every first impression. This is also the last day of the year that the Sun spends in the sign of Libra. Tomorrow the world may seem faster, harder, harsher, and more emotional. Heads Up.

Fri Oct 23 the Moon is in Pisces all day. The Moon conjuncts Neptune at 10:17 am.

Don’t let this fog your thoughts in the morning. Stay sharp and work with diligence and dedication. Thirty minutes later the Sun changes signs, leaves Libra and enters the sign of Scorpio. For the next month the Sun will be a guest of the planet Mars [although some modern astrologers say Pluto]. If emotions are stronger but harder to express, well, heck, that’s part of why I write. How about you? In the evening the Moon opposes Venus at 9:29 pm, then opposes Jupiter at 11:41 pm. Reread a bit of what you’ve written today but don’t make any judgments.

Saturday Oct 24 the Moon is in Pisces when at 4:18 am it opposes Mars and goes void of course.

Impulsive, emotional actions are great plot complication devices, if you want to get a character in trouble fast.

The Moon won’t enter Aries until 11:22 pm.

If you want to ease off today, it’s understandable.

Sun Oct 25 the Moon is in Aries when Venus conjuncts Jupiter at 1:03 pm.

However the weekend has gone, it can end on a lovely, even elegant note. Some people may want to read a mushy romance novel tonight.

Later Mercury opposes Uranus at 3:59 pm.

You may have second thoughts about something that you thought was finished. Revisit it tomorrow.
