SEPTEMBER 8 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallThe next few days are not good for detailed editing or plotting. As the Moon moves through Pisces, it’s time to dream. Imagine individual scenes, whether or not they are related to your overall story. You can find where they fit in to the structure later. Today, with the Pisces full “supermoon” conjuncting Chiron, these scenes could turn out to be the most memorable of your whole work.

SEPTEMBER 7 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallThis is a difficult day to get any writing done. Before breakfast would be the best time. Later, the astrology is full of oppositions and annoyances. In the evening, the Moon enters Pisces and approaches a conjunction with dreamy Neptune. It’s best to go to bed early and just dream, or read a fantasy, or watch an imaginative movie. You may find inspiration tonight while enjoying some light entertainment.

SEPTEMBER 6 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallThe Moon in Aquarius trines Mercury in Libra in the wee hours before breakfast. You can write some wild and wonderful new ideas then in a pleasing, artistic style. People will believe what you write. But after breakfast is a whole other story. A T-square of confusion and opposition sends your writing way off course. To signal a way to get back on track, a yod at dinner time points to the Sun in Virgo. Get back to reality! How can you bring your unusual ideas down to earth? Don’t stop speculating. Just find a way to make your new ideas believable.

SEPTEMBER 5 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallToday is a day for writing of war deferred, uprisings thwarted and battles blocked before they begin. Peace descends upon a feisty morning, and we find ourselves having tea with enemies over crumpets and jam. Write about peace talks today as Aquarius and Libra come into their full power later in the afternoon. And just like earlier in the week, women’s issues are the underlying concerns. They could also be the deciding factors in whatever you are writing today.

SEPTEMBER 4 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallYou could do some major revisions or changes of direction in your written work today. You could feel quite tense about the way your writing is going. Don’t give up hope. By late afternoon, the Moon moves away from Pluto, and you see the new pattern. You realize that you weren’t looking deep enough, or there were aspects of the work you weren’t seeing. It has something to do with ‘rules’. What rules have you been breaking? Fix those.

SEPTEMBER 3 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallWith Moon trine Venus today, continue on with the topics of women and peace that you wrote yesterday. This afternoon, the Moon enters Capricorn and the focus shifts abruptly toward practical matters of structuring your work. Don’t do line editing this afternoon. Instead, look at the overall structure of your work. Look at the chapter level or the paragraph level, but avoid the tiny details for now. Your muse will give you new ideas while you sleep tonight, which will require more revision tomorrow.

SEPTEMBER 2 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallYou can get some great, dramatic ideas very early this morning, but it might be hard to write them out fully. Just make notes early in the morning, then start writing in earnest around 10am. By the afternoon, your written piece could be going off in unique new directions. There’s a focus on speaking new truths, especially about how women’s issues relate to peace in relationships. This could be in personal relationships, or relations between countries. Depending on whether you write fiction or news, the subjects of women and peace are powerful now.

SEPTEMBER 1 ~ Writing With The Stars ~ daily astrology for writers

moonclouds_smallThe Moon leaves emotional Scorpio by midday and sextiles brainy Mercury in Virgo. You can write like a pro today. Later, as the Moon moves into Sagittarius, you may even get prolific. You can see the patterns and the big picture, and the writing just flows out of you. Tonight, you could lose some momentum as inspirations are hard to reach. Take the night off. Get ready to wake up early tomorrow, to take advantage of some easy writing trines.
