the writer's week ahead: 1.21.24-1.27.24
with a new discord invite
Welcome to all the folks who are newly here from my essay on ethical consumerism and the Substack debacle! The response has been overwhelming; I’m glad you found the essay helpful. These week aheads (geared to writers, but often helpful for artists across the spectrum) are a major paid feature of astrology for writers, but they also often include updated invite links to the other major paid feature, which is our private Discord community.
A little about what we do here: One of my biggest and most profound core beliefs that informs me as a person, so informs my writing, so informs my work and how I move in the world, is that creativity and spirituality are inextricably interlinked. That they come from the same source.
As I lean into this and become so much more public with this particular belief (see: last year’s New York Times profile), it is unsurprising that my clients, students, and readers are reaching out to me asking for more resources and information about how they can better understand and implement this belief in their own lives.
“I’m here for a birth chart reading, but can we talk about building a book altar?”
“I know this newsletter is about the full moon, but are you going to send anything like that book deal spell again soon?”
People are hungry for work that explicitly addresses this relationship between creativity and spirituality. This was already the focus of my work this year with some behind the scenes long-term projects, but I’ve decided to lean into it more publicly, too. To that effect, the first class I’ll be teaching (that was birthed out of conversations in the aforementioned Discord) is next week — a week from today, in fact! Enchanting Your Writing, Sunday January 28th, 1-3pm Eastern. You can sign up here.
Also! Before we hit the paywall: the newsletter about Pluto’s second ingress into Aquarius is forthcoming, I promise. Managing the response to the Substack-themed newsletter tapped me, but it will be in your inboxes in a few days. To make up for the tardiness, it’ll be free to all. Thanks for understanding. And there will, of course, be a newsletter later this week for the Full Moon in Leo — so, lots forthcoming!
And there is a refreshed Discord link below. <3
