Head’s Up! The Astrological Almanac for Writers

October 11th- 18th

Autumn is upon us!

Sun Oct 11 the Moon spends almost all day in Libra. The Moon conjuncts Mercury at 4:12 am. Mercury is still slow in the sky and very strong. Keep those ideas coming. At 4:51 pm Jupiter is trine Pluto. This aspect has been helping us out for a few weeks now, and it will keep bringing helpful hints and lucky breaks for a few weeks more. Pay attention. In the evening, the Sun opposes Uranus at 8:49 pm. Not all surprises are good or desirable. You can say “no thank you” to some of them. It’s also the day before the New Moon. Take care and be safe. Heads Up!

Mon Oct 12 the Moon is in Libra all day. At 5:06 pm we have the New Moon at 19 Libra. The Moon then goes void of course. Do you have a co-author, a writing buddy, or are you part of a constructive critique group? You may, before this month ends.

Wed Oct 13 the Moon is in Scorpio all day. Write with intensity and with no compromise. You never have to show it to anyone. At 5:25 am the Moon trines Neptune. Wake up inspired and let your work be inspiring to others.

Thursday Oct 15 the Moon is in Scorpio when Mars trines Pluto. This may be an intense, productive day. Heads Up to make the most of any and all opportunities.

Fri Oct 16 the Moon conjuncts Saturn in Sagittarius. Clean up some fine point that has been offending you and see how much better the whole piece now is.

Sat Oct 17 the Moon is in Sagittarius when Mars is conjunct Jupiter in Virgo. Get a lot done, even if it doesn’t result in a big word count. Time spent with people can be productive, too.
