You’re feeling passionate about your writing today, but can’t really focus on the details. Your fingers will fly across the keyboard, and you’ll pound out truckloads of words. But, even though you could write “War and Peace” today, the mistakes, typos and grammar glitches could be just as numerous. You could also have fun playing with structure with Venus in Cancer trine Saturn in Scorpio. Overall, it’s a great day to make progress on your writing projects!

AUGUST 1 ~ daily astrology for writers ~ Writing With The Stars
Okay, let’s face it. We don’t wake up in the best mood today. Squares between Jupiter, Mercury and Mars are making us growly. Unfortunately, the afternoon doesn’t get much better (despite the grand water trine). The absolute best we can do today is to be kind to ourselves. If you get some editing done, consider yourself a hero. If you get any actual writing done, you are a SUPERHERO! If you get any GOOD writing done today, you are nothing less than a Master of the Writing Universe!

JULY 31 ~ daily astrology for writers ~ Writing With The Stars
Wake up early and get some work done before the social world draws you away from your writing. It’s a good day for building your author’s platform with the Moon in social Libra and Mercury in Cancer. Late tonight, Mercury moves into Leo giving you confidence to write those bold scenes. Instead of blowing your own horn too loudly on social media, use that confidence to write about your more bombastic characters.

This morning, your heart is in the details and writing goes well. You are devising a new structure or system for your writing. Around lunch time, a grand water trine has you falling in love with that new system as you see how it can help your writing. But you’re worried it’s a little unorthodox. Don’t worry about doing things old way or the “right” way. Use whatever system works for you. It may even be better than the old ways!

Was Shakespeare a Fan of Astrology?
I couldn’t resist reblogging a link to this article about some of my favorite subjects, writing, Shakespeare and astrology:
“The Bard used astrological nuance to move along his plots and refine his characters, astrologer says.”
In the final act of Shakespeare’s tragedy Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony describes Brutus, the man who came not to praise Caesar but to bury him, in these glowing terms:
“His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, this was a man!”
This is rare praise indeed for an assassin. But Brutus had dispatched a megalomaniac (Caesar) whose ambitions threatened the cherished way citizens governed themselves in ancient Rome.
Unlike most modern theatre-goers, those sitting in the Globe Theatre audience when the play was first performed 450 years ago would have been much more likely to pick up on the fact that the “elements” Anthony refers to are the astrological elements medieval astrologers considered when making judgments about the temperamental qualities inherent in man’s nature. Most in the audience would have brought to the theatre at least a fundamental awareness of the concepts involved. . .
