Do you guys like my New York stories? I like writing them. I am looking for ways to make my blog more interesting to me and thus you too 🙂
I still plan to write my Stars Today and Stars This Week (current transits) and I love writing about Tarot lately although I realize I am doing less “explain such and such transit” or “explain such and such house” type writing lately.
In the past I’ve even considered starting a serialized novel on the blog, astrology-related of course 🙂 little things like that. The blog is how I make my living. Clients find me here (besides word of mouth) so I can’t stop being an astrologer (nor do I want to) but how to make it… I don’t know yet. Don’t know what it’s supposed to become.
And now that SATURN IS RETROGRADE in my 3rd House (writing!), it’s time to… ponder 🙂 And I hope you are pondering what this transit means for you. On DAY ONE, yes.
And oof! I just made a list of 7 types of blog posts that I like writing. Maybe I’ll feel less angst if I just stick to that list, rotate. It’s probably time that I revive my Dear MoonPluto column as well. Only did a few of those.
I welcome your thoughts. As long as they are… nice. Y’all know I’m a Cancer but what you probably don’t know is that my Progressed Ascendent is in Libra. And my Progressed Venus is in Libra ON my Ascendent.

Aye, makin’ it as an astrologer. You might as well buy some lunar real estate – today. It’s a more likely outcome, and a better investment.
So, why the heck do we do this? (Or, in my case, why the heck have I been doing this for over two decades?) It takes something to be a star whisperer. It really, really does. Those buggers speak a foreign language, besides. Yes, it takes a crazy person to learn how to speak a dead language. And yet, the demand for it is as kooky as the biz itself.
For one, eking out a living is the more likely possibility – and that’s with moderate success on an international phone line. (Which is a whole new ballgame. The logistics are unnecessarily complicated, and maintaining a competitive edge near impossible.)
Alas, perfessional (y’like that?) websites, complete with a hashtag organisation system to keep your astro-posts from your TV show-recap-posts, and recipe shares, has been the way to go. And, as you mentioned, it’s all thanks to word-of-mouth, and the occasional forms of advertising – which doesn’t do much.
Bleak. I know.
Monetising a passion is never easy, but I hardly think Jobs was overcome with concern as to how much he’d change the world when he was cobbling together the first Mac with Woz and Bill. I’m a quantum storyteller, for example. You’re probably thinking: ‘what the heck is that?’ because you’ve never heard of it. You’d be right. But what a day to be discussing possibility, marking 540 years since Copernicus’ birth. See, it’s not really a thing yet. I’m just a professional cat-herder, witch and panhandler. (In other words, a writer-director-producer out in Hollyweird.) I’ve just been telling stories using the principles of quantum physics since I can remember. Well, I’ve been writing them. Filming such a story – that’s a horse of a different colour.
Anything is possible. That’s the take-home. You’ve got a sharp website, and you’re catering to a small crowd, but one that’s indebted to your gifts. Seeing as you’re like me, (hi, fellow Virgo rising!) Saturn’s gettin’ down in your 3H as well. There’s a nice push from this Piscean stellium for a major creative overhaul – even more so, I’d think, if it forms a Grand Trine with your Cancer sun.
So, now’s looking like the time to ask more seriously what you want to produce; how you want your ideas to be received, especially by starting out with drawing up a whole new business plan. Maybe powwowing with folks like me who’ve been in similar trenches, and can report back on our experiences. I’d love to see astrology become a viable profession, but I respect it hasn’t happened yet. Though, I do my part.
In closing, I named my production company after Apple’s game-changing ‘Think Different’ campaign. The Crazy Ones. I remind myself, from time to time, it’s the ones ‘crazy enough’ to believe they can change (the world) be it via an industry, or the industry itself – that actually do.
Happy Reassessment!

Thanks!
Ooo I like the idea of a “Dear Moon Pluto” column because I’m always searching for advice 😉 But I also love the tarot drawings you’ve been doing because they seem similar.
My 3rd house just told me (oh no, I’m hearing voices!) As a merc rx in the 11th I’m gonna say weird things that won’t always be perfectly understood or accepted. I don’t always respond directly and people won’t respond to me directly. Maybe I can tweak a few things but I am who I am and I need to work with that to feel happy and comfy. Write whatever you NEED to write to feel whole in that moment. People visit this blog because you speak from your heart so even if its angsty, get it out and we’ll read it.
Astrology is a given, but I’ve learned more about Tarot from you than anywhere else since you give explanations that are real and apply to life…and I have already put my two cents in for more poetry. 🙂
That’s awesome, muddytaurus. Thank you.
ooh this idea, “In the past I’ve even considered starting a serialized novel on the blog, astrology-related of course” where you could write in synchronicities, and mystical events!
YES! I love it all lady! I especially love the woo woo gems.
: D
Thank you Turkeybat. Can you define “woo woo” for me?
For me it means metaphysical, the spiritual, magic, tarot, channeling, runes, oracle cards, sacred geometry, I Ching, pendulums, scrying, crystals, etc.
And astrology of course! 🙂
Ah okay, thank you. Me too 🙂 Love that….
