the writer's guide to august's astrology
August 1: Mars in Taurus conjunct Uranus in Taurus
The kick in the ass you may have been needing, today’s energy pushes you to do the damn thing. Your work ethic may feel deliberate these days — there’s really no pushing the projects you’re working on — but a sudden jolt or event demands your attention and, perhaps, inspires you to look at something with fresh eyes.
Exceptionally good for revisions and putting fresh eyes on old projects.
August 2: Venus in Cancer sextile Mars in Taurus…
We are emboldened to bring beauty into the world, however briefly. Perhaps we don’t always think of ourselves as artists. Perhaps the word belletrist means nothing to you. But today, tender Venus in Cancer caresses slow-moving, sensual Mars. A stroke of inspiration means you find the right word. Simply paying attention means you arrange your desk in a more pleasing manner. The little things add up.
