Astrological Forecasts

September 2010

We start this month with Mercury retrograde, but don’t let that set us back.  Once we get a grip on the mechanical and electronic snags that lurk in the shadows, this is simply a time to practice being more careful with our words.  What writer is going to argue with that?

If you’ve never seen the planet Uranus (and I have not), now we have a good chance, because it will be very close to Jupiter, easily the brightest thing in the sky.  Uranus might be visible to the unaided eye if you have a dark sky.  Otherwise, binoculars or a small telescope should make it easy.  If you get a clearn night anytime this week or next, go for it!  Check out the link below:

Enjoy!!  And let’s hope for clear skies. (continue reading…)

Tue Feb 23 the Moon is still in Gemini when the Sun sextiles Pluto. There are some changes that just need to be made, and there are gracious ways of making them.  Then the Moon enters Cancer. Everything seems to hit closer to home.  You do not have to spill coffee on your desk. Wed

Feb 24 the Moon is in Cancer, but, as always, it reaches out and touches someone, lots of someones.  Today the Moon trines the Sun (self-confidence improves), then the Moon trines Jupiter (give if not also get some good luck), then the Moon trines Venus (adds a touch of charm to everything—-so appreciate it). That’s a lot of gentle touches.  Stay concentrated on your work, but Heads Up in a good way.

Thu Feb 25 the Moon conjuncts Mars retrograde in Leo.  Heads Up. Channel this away from anger and into being a little nobler in the daily routine.  Be willing to cheerfully do something that someone else won’t.  Worse case, hole up and write like a demon.

Sat Feb 27 the Moon is still in Leo when Mercury conjuncts Neptune. Magic can happen today.  Make it beneficent magic, because before midnight, the Moon opposes Neptune, then Mercury, and all plots and scheming may be revealed. (This might be a useful scenario in the writing of a fantasy novel.)

Sun Feb 28 the Sun conjuncts Jupiter.  Contemplate general good luck. About five hours later, the Moon opposes Jupiter.  Consider that something lucky may have happened but you’ve overlooked it.  Let the Moon shine its light on whatever good is available to you.  Eighteen whole minutes later comes the Full Moon at 09Vir.  Patiently perfect the many small things that are nonetheless important to you.  This is heady stuff on which to end the month.  Heads Up for sure. The month ending on a Full Moon is quite a gift.  It’s a brilliance to be taken into the coming month.  Be brilliant, too, full of plans and projects for the future, and full of energy for the present.  Be a light that shines for everyone.  Writers work hard with passion and deserve to be heard and read.  This means you!  Have a stunning month. Heads Up! *********

October 2009

Welcome to October!!It’s a challenging month, but also empowering.  Put the final touches on some projects, and explore the skeletal beginnings of others.  It may be a time for caution, but not of hesitation or doubt.  We all have doubts, of course, but we don’t have to reveal them to the world.  Nor does this mean suppression.  It may simply mean tact, and Libra loves tact.

Have a splendid, pumpkin-grinning joyous autumn month of writing.  Heads Up! (continue reading…)
