Horoscopes


The following horoscopes are for entertainment value only. These statements have no reliable basis in fact.

Aries (March 21 - April 19) The RamWriter isn’t normally afraid to “ram” their way into and out of situations no matter how impossible, unlikely or unrealistic the circumstance. The RamWriter doesn’t take the time to ponder the outcome of their actions but that’s part of their charm. However, this week, RamWriters everywhere are experiencing a bit of a problem when it comes to working on their novels. They are talking a lot about the writing but are not up to tackling the complicated nature of their characters and their stories. Could it be that there are some unresolved issues in your own life that are preventing you from “connecting” with your characters? Suggestion: Take the week off from writing. Talk to someone whose opinions you trust, allow the conversation to go whenever it goes and observe the complexities of human interactions. After all, what is a novel but a reflection of life? Libra (September 23 - October 22) LibraWriter, you’re having a serious problem at the playground this week. The editor assigned to work with you is getting under your skin and you are finding it difficult to move forward with your commitments. As seen in the stars (believe it or not) this is the beginning of a long, prosperous relationship. You already balance opposites in life perfectly. This should be no different. At the moment, you’re rolling your eyes, but soon you will be eagerly working in tandem. Like all relationships, this one will take time to build, but it will work, have no fear.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) It’s always a treat to watch as The BullWriter embarks on writing a romance novel, especially because they are ruled by Venus. This is a good week to explore the “darker” side of a romantic involvement since your own love life has taken a left turn. It’s not your fault that two planets have taken up an antagonist position to each other. However, the tension between the planets does present a great opportunity for you to take your normally uncomplicated romantic plot and give it an unexpected twist of romantic obsessions. If you take the challenge, work in tandem with the two energies and you’ll have one heck of a page turner. It doesn't hurt that your confidence in your writing will soar too. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Isn’t it odd how fragile relationships really are, ScorpionWriter? You thought you formed a relationship that would last forever, but your publisher has dropped hints that they’re thinking about breaking up with you. Where did the magic go? Well, plain and simple, the publishing industry is experiencing a great upheaval, so don’t take it too personally. The best thing to do is offer some understanding and support of your publisher’s position. Don't hold it against them or it will come against you. Then sit back and enjoy the ride because you are setting out on a new adventure.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Here we go again TwinWriters: You’re thinking too much about that simple statement that your loved one made about your new novel and it's causing you to feel unsettled and miserable. Really, you need to stop for a moment and investigate why you reacted so strongly to what was said. Such a deep emotional response to a few words means that someone struck a chord with you. More than most, you understand that this is an opportunity to grow, both as a person and as a writer. View the person who has aggravated you as a muse, not an adversary. Go back to the situation, the moment, and infuse your reaction into your work. Not only will your work benefit, but you will too. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Don’t panic, ArcherWriter. You are only experiencing a moment of doubt regarding the love of your life: Writing. Sure, it has all seemed pretty one-side up to now, but the key to a great love is to not walk away because you expected grand fireworks and didn’t get them. Love often turns out to be quite ordinary, by turns, but no matter the turn it requires work. So you simply can’t give up. You must awaken your enthusiasm and see every day as another day to love. Now, go write something.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) CrabWriters make readers laugh, weep, dance and despair simply because they themselves feel so deeply. CrabWriters also get attached to their work like glue to paper. And that’s good in a lot of ways because you really, really work at your craft and are passionate about portraying emotions through words. However, Crabwriter, you are on a strict deadline and regardless of how you may feel about your writing project, it’s time to let go. Overworking a project will set you on edge and can reflect in your writing. In doing so, you will find that your professionalism and devotion for your work will rule the day and you will move quickly in a new and exciting direction. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Instead of GoatWriter, this week you should be referred to as RocketWriter. Wow, what a schedule! It seems that after all the delays of your writing career, it has finally hit high gear and you are in demand. This is all new territory for you, so do the very best you can and trust that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. A word of warning: Don’t allow anyone to steal your thunder. You earned your ticket.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) A little out of sorts at the moment, LionWriters? You bet you are. That rejection letter from the production company you were counting on has almost stripped your faith. Here’s the thing: Your script is a good one but you need more than just a script if you wish to compete. You’re a born leader, so don't go into battle just carrying a flag. Get your game on, LionWriter, and crusade for your work. Put a package together that will knock the socks off that producer when you resubmit your project. This is no time to be a pussycat but the Lion that you are. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Patience isn’t your strong point, WaterBearerWriter, but this week it's paramount that you draw upon this forgotten virtue and allow time for the magic of the New Year to work for you. And work it will. You have been moving toward this moment all of your life and now it is going to happen with such harmony that all you need to do is allow it to be. Don’t force issues, like calling your publisher. Just relax: The Universe has your back.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) In the world of VirgoWriters, nothing is left to chance and expectations are always realistic and reasonable. However, this week you feel a wee bit jumpy, don’t you? That's because something is out of your control and it's driving you crazy. This is the week that you submitted your new manuscript to a new publisher. Stop for a moment: You’re published, you have a great track record, you aggressively market yourself, you have a tremendous non-trade venue, your calendar is filled with events and you know what a publisher is looking for. So, get back to being realistic and remember who you are. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) It is your natural tendency to feel a bit old and worn, as if there is nothing new to learn or explore. But FishWriter, this week is one of those moments that makes life worth the effort again. An old friend makes an appearance: That novel you wrote quite a while ago. It seems as though a copy fell (as if by accident) into the hands of a producer. Expect a call. Old love never really dies, does it?
