The Writer’s Astrological Almanac by Kathy Watts 1st Week of August 2009

by on Aug.01, 2009, under Uncategorized


August begins on a Saturday with the Moon in Sagittarius.  What a glorious start for a writer’s month.  Think, act, and live big, at least in fiction.
Venus opposes Pluto today.  Contemplate the price paid by beauty in times of chaos.

Sun Aug 02 the Moon enters Capricorn and conjuncts Pluto.  All month long, the Moon weighs in on the side of big changes.  Is your writing in a rut?
Maybe you can break out now.  Later, Mercury leaves Leo and enters the sign of Virgo, which is ruled by Mercury.  Nocturnal writers and editors, this is your time.

Mon Aug 03 the Moon is in Capricorn all day. Mercury trines Pluto today.
Look for some constructive intensity in your words.  Working hard may be easier and less stressful than usual.  Go for it.

Wed Aug 05 is the Full Moon at 13Aqu.  It’s also a lunar eclipse.  Stay cheerful, on an even keel, and let the psychodrama play out in your fiction.
Your readers will love it, and you’ll stay sane and productive.  The Moon is in fixed signs on Wednesdays this month.  Perseverance furthers.

Thu Aug 06 the Moon conjuncts Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius.  Think more objectively about luck.  There may be lucky aspects about your work that you’re overlooking.  About four and a half hours later the Moon conjuncts Neptune retrograde.  This is about ‘show, don’t tell.’  Take your characters off the soapbox and have them do what they need.

Fri Aug 07 – Sat Aug 08 the Moon is in Pisces when Mercury sextiles Venus.
This aspect can add a little sparkle to anyone’s prose.  Music and colors will be brighter.  Enjoy!
