moonclouds_smallToday we’re channelling information from the past. You may come across historical details that spark your interest and add flavor to your writing. If you write ghost stories, historical novels or period pieces of any kind, new details can come to light. As Venus enters Leo later today trining Ceres in Scorpio, write that love scene and don’t hold back on the romance!

moonclouds_smallThis morning you will be sensitive to your characters’ emotions. Moon trine Ceres supports writing about emotional healing. As the Moon moves into Pisces, human compassion becomes the mainstay of today’s writing. If you know you will need a scene of intimate communication, today is the day to write it. This evening, the writing we have done today forces changes in the plot. Adjust your outline accordingly.

moonclouds_smallIt’s a Supermoon in Aquarius today. We have sudden, unusual ideas about rescuing our characters from their dramatic quagmire. Yet, it may get worse before it gets better. Don’t despair if you think you’re just digging your characters into a deeper hole. By the afternoon, a ‘mystic rectangle’ with Mercury saves the day, and everything emerges into harmony and balance. You may not know exactly what you did right, but the result will be better than if you had planned it.

moonclouds_smallThe Moon enters Aquarius this morning giving us inventive ideas about society. If you’re a fantasy or sci-fi writer, you may get some interesting world-building ideas. You can expand those ideas into real dramatic scenes this afternoon and evening. Sun conjunct Mercury, along with Jupiter in Leo all day makes this a day you will want to show off your productions. But Venus in Cancer is trying to get you to stay home. Do a little of both today!

moonclouds_smallYour wild, inventive side will be fighting with your down-to-earth, practical side early this morning. After breakfast, you see a way to make both of these conflicting forces work together. The key is to allow both the wild inspiration and the concrete order, and funnel them both into fiery drama. Later, you’ll be worn out from all this excitement, but you’ll see how the results were almost destined. Take a break tonight. You need it!

moonclouds_smallIt’s difficult to get any writing done this morning, as duties to others are taking your attention. If you’re writing about children’s emotions, though, your work is supported. In the late afternoon, Moon in Capricorn allows you to get practical about using these emotions in your work. Your characters’ emotions will show you which way to take the story if you listen to them. Don’t force your characters into acting to a preconceived outline today. Let your characters’ true emotions lead you into new scenes you may never have thought of without them.
