The Writer’s Astrological Almanac

August 22nd – 31st 2015

(all times PDT)

Sat Aug 22 the Moon is conjunct Saturn in Scorpio. Don’t let this bother you. Just deal with that one thing (or person) and don’t put it off. It’s also the last day of the year that the Sun gets to spend in its home sign of Leo. Tomorrow the world may seem cool, calmer, and less loud. (continue reading…)

Fri Aug 14 is the New Moon at 21 Leo. Take this lunar month to single out what you do best and be proud of it. Resolve to work harder to improve. About three and a half hours later, at 11:25 am the Moon is conjunct Venus. Be good to yourself and enjoy being with your friends. (continue reading…)

(all times PDT)

Fri Aug 07 the Moon is in Taurus when Mercury conjuncts Jupiter in Leo. Think big noble ideas, and for a while be totally committed to them. Twelve hours later Mercury changes signs, leaves Leo and enters its nocturnal home of Virgo. Your previous big noble thoughts will fade slowly but you can begin to edit and refine them now. At 10:40 pm the Moon enters the writer-friendly sign of Gemini. We have from now until 5:08 am Monday morning to blast out as much mercurial genius as we can. With Mercury now in Virgo, do it with a fine touch. (continue reading…)

August 1st -6th 2015

(all times PDT)

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? (continue reading…)

(all times PDT)

Sat July 18 the Moon is conjunct Jupiter in Leo. It’s a weekend for making a big impression. In the afternoon at 3:38 pm, Venus changes signs, leaving glamorous Leo and moving into understated Virgo. Glamour and charm get more practical. Next, the Moon enters Virgo at 5:47 pm and two whole minutes later the Moon is conjunct Venus. A character in one of your books may get lucky in love, if you allow it. (continue reading…)

Mon July 06 the Moon is in Pisces when the Sun is exactly opposed to Pluto. Sometimes a weird thing happens out in the world, but that doesn’t mean it was random. Heads Up. Just keep your head under the hood and keep working. (continue reading…)

July 1st -5th  2015

(all times PDT)

July and the heart of summer are upon us. The month starts on a Wednesday (the day of the week for Mercury), so it can be a prolific and even profitable month if we keep working away at our craft. It’s a Full Moon, in Capricorn no less, so our plans and ambitions for publication are out there waiting for us this month. Wait, there’s more. (continue reading…)

June 21st -30th 2015

(all times are PDT)

Sun Jun 21 the Moon is in the final degrees of Leo when the Sun moves out of Gemini and takes up residence in Cancer. For 8 whole minutes, the Sun and Moon are in mutual reception (a guest in each other’s home sign) until the Moon moves into Virgo. It’s the summer solstice, the first day of summer, and the day to look at an ingress chart to get a peek at your next three months. (continue reading…)
