i think that i have red a thread where this issue was talked about but i dont know when or where..this is my very special dream ..

A dear friend of mine said that i have good placements for it and i wanted to ask you guys if you also think that?

iīll tell you some that i think might have to do more with this theme:

- Neptune(r) in the 3rd in Sag
- NN conj Vesta ( vows) in the 9th in Gem
- Pair Fortune in the 9th in Gem
- Eros conj MC in Cancer ( dont reallt know about this one..)
- Mars in Leo in the 10th
- Venus (Leo) and Sun in the 11th
-Mercury ins in the cusp of the 12th in 0š Libra

Aspects:

Otherwise, mercury in signs will colour the type of writing to be done as well as mercury's aspects. Rx merc probably would also indicate a more introverted approach in that the person will dig from the inside to get source and inspiration for writing. Likewise other planets in the 3rd and 10th might colour the type of writing and their aspects that they form.

For example, me, I have sun conj merc rx in 10th in aqu, 3rd house ruled by Gem with mars in 3rd and have written scientifically, aqu colours it in a scientific and objective manner. I have saturn opp mercury and have written articles that require structure and argument, the opposition of saturn gives the structure and the need to balance out an article. You can see how the various aspects and signs the fall in colour how mercury operates.

In relation to you:
- Neptune(r) in the 3rd in Sag - poetry, philosophy, maybe spiritual but looking inwardly as a source of inspiration

- NN conj Vesta ( vows) in the 9th in Gem - NN in Gem and 9th indicates an ability to write philosophically

- Pair Fortune in the 9th in Gem - as above.

- Eros conj MC in Cancer ( dont reallt know about this one..) - erotic writing with emotion, for a profession

- Mars in Leo in the 10th - showy writing for a professional sense, entertainment

- Venus (Leo) and Sun in the 11th - hmm, this is more a communal placement which shows an ability to entertain an audience, more of an indirect thing.

-Mercury ins in the cusp of the 12th in 0š Libra - hidden potential, self-focused

Aspects:

- Neptune trine SUN/vENUS/VX
- Mars trine Jup/Uranus - it take jup is the ruler of your 3rd and nicely trines your mars indicating entertainment writing.

I am moving away from zodiac sign and house placements,and so I am not going to list my zodiac sign and house placements

posted February 21, 2008 10:14 PM              

Mercury conjunct Sun
Mercury conjunct Uranus
Mercury conjunct Neptune
Ruler of 3rd house conjunct Moon & Uranus

I have no planets in my third house..though I communicate best through writing. I think it's the Mercury conjunct Sun working for me.

------------------
Capricorn sun / Scorpio rising / Sagittarius moon

however, I am moving away from zodiac sign and house placements. I just have my doubts about them. I think of things like Forer Effect, how Astrology has evolved, as well as cultural traditions roots,precession, and people born in southern hemisphere....not to mention numerous house systems.....and what if there are actually more houses or less houses...same with signs. I even read that Chaldeans worked with 18 zodiac signs before.

Cosmobiology can be insightful,and they don't even use houses nor put much emphasis on zodiac signs.

posted February 21, 2008 10:41 PM              

i have my venus conjunct chiron at 25.4 taurus exactly conjunct the 3 rd house cusp at 25.5 taurus my mercury at 6 gemini also falls into the 3 rd house.
aside from that ....
hmm, mercury opposes uranus,
mercury DE is conjunct mars
jupiter conjuunct pluto in eighth house
sun n moon perfectly trine jupiter

in indian astrology mercury ( ruiling communication ) and jupiter ( ruling knowledge ) are markers for a good writer.

Thank you for your thoughts on this - if everyone post their aspects its much more easy to associate each one with a certain potenciality isnt it?

23,

i totally forgot on checking the rulers of houses..your analisis was spot on as i do focus my writtings on philosophy,my spiritual way of looking at people and the world. My source of inspiration comes from within, like of the writtings of Bach or Khalil.

And ive never thought of Kiron regarding this issue but yes it is also apllied cause in some way , whenever i write,it seems that a healing is occuring.

Letīs see the rulers:

Mercury as ruler of Gem,rules my 9th house and 12th house,where my Merc is in - so here no good placements

Isnt there anyy asteroid to look concerning writtings?

- I have no more planets in the 3rd besides Neptune, only asteroid Cupid conj Neptune

- In the 10th, besides Mars i have Karma,which sextiles my ASC

- About the Mercury aspects:it also skuares PF and Neptune afterall..receives sextiles from Jupiter and Uranus(both conj in Sag in 2ndhouse)

hAVING mERC in the 12th however its not very easy for me as i tend to almost focus my way of comunication in writtings instead of showing myself through my conversations.

Glaucus,

do you think parallels should also be looked at concerning a profession/career in the same way we look at the other regular aspects?

Merc contraparalell Venus
Merc paralell ASC
Merc contraparalell Pluto

Yes,some house systems maybe make the house positions variable,thatīs why i went to a site where you out the exact coordinates of place you were born,to try to make the variation minor.

For example if i put my chart in Astro,with just the coordinates of city,it changes some house placements putting

Jup/Uranus in the 3rd; Merc conj ASC;Sun in the 12th;Mars in the 11th;and Uranus conj IC

So at times i do think to myself which is the correct one?

posted February 22, 2008 08:39 AM              

I see why you know that

Having merc conj uranus and Neptune makes you very focused on writing about dreams,spirituality,maybe fantasies as well?

aND Uranus how does that work? making it sudden burst of inspiration when you least expected? Having inspiration through uncommon things and details?

Venus

How are you?Long time i didnt speaked to you.
Really that Kiron is there for sure and i admire that you can feel so at ease in entertainment and television - that sure isnt the deal for me as i know it would make me unconfortable and embarassed - im shy hihihi

Indian astrology have diferent meanings than the western so..hmm ive been looking into a Vedic Site where i saw some diferences also. It sounded interesting also.

MY JUPITER isnt so well aspected as yours - mine suares venus and sun and opose Kiron

Imagination, communication - what about some perspiration?

James Joyce spent 10 years writing Ulysses.

posted February 22, 2008 09:54 AM            

That's interesting.

Capricorn Rising, and Saturn in the 3rd house.

Sun in Aquarius, that figures.

Mars rules the 3rd house, which is retrograde in the 6th. Don't make it easy, if you can make it hard.

Many years ago, whilst still a teenager, my dad's accountant asked me a question about Joyce, in that kind of impromptu intelligence test that some men like to hand out. Then not that long after I met my husband, and he did the same thing to find out if I had ever heard of Norman Mailer. Why do men do this? I think it is an Aquarian thing. I suppose it is better than being asked your bra size. But I digress.

Sure, the right astrological placements can potentially make you a writer even a good one, but whoever started this thread has no hope really of being published. You cannot hope for your manuscripts to be approved if you cannot spell or construct a sentence grammatically.

Why don't you think of another occupation?

Sun in Sag; moon, asc sag.

I`d LOVE to read something you`ve written.

I have been writing myself - only for myself of course.
I never really wrote to get published, neither in English nor in my mothertongue German; but I wrote for the writing-process itself. This is what gives me the utmost satisfaction; watching a world, a story, develop in my mind and on paper. Watching the written characters become alive. And sometimes being very surprised at what poured out of me. Sometimes even a bit shocked. lol

My placements:
-Sun conjunct Mercury in Sag in 1st house
chartruler Jupiter in Pisces in 3rd house square Neptune / ASC / NN
-Ruler of 3 in Scorpio in 11th house
intercepted ruler of 3 in Sagittarius conjunct ASC
- ruler of 3 conjunct ruler of 4
- ruler of 6 (Venus) square ruler of 12
- Venus parallel Mercury

I guess, the fact that there is a connection between Jupiter and NEptune, 1st and 3rd house, could indicate that writing is a very personal thing to me.

actually I have Saturn contraparallel Mercury-Venus-Neptune in the declinations. So I have a strong Saturn influence in the declinations.

As a writer, I've learned that it's a career (or vocation) that many, if not most, people aspire to...a lot of mediocre writers find commercial success. (Great writers can find commercial success too, but not always.) It's a complicated business, and the marketing of packaging of literary materials or credentials has little to do with actual writing quality.

A lot of people really want to be writers, but it's more that they're drawn to the idea of writing. I think that writers are born more often than made. If you're a writer, the main thing you'll notice is that from the time you learn to read (if not earlier), you'll begin writing things that surprise you, and that you find compelling. You won't have to wonder how to "become" a writer--you'll understand right off the bat that you are one. It's similar with gifted actors, dancers and singers.

I have looked up the charts of some of my favorite writers...they don't all have strong Mercury aspects...but almost all of them have strong 7th and 8th houses, which is interesting, because that's true of the great writers I know personally. (I do! ...but my two best writer friends also do.)

My placements could be called typical of a writer. I heard many virgo AC's are. take Woody Allen for example.

but my placements are Virgo AC Gemini MC

10 house ruler Gemini
Mercury in the 10 house in Cancer Opposite Neptune.

Mercury sextile Ascendant

Grand Trine between Mercury, Pluto and the North Node.

and a square from my moon to mercury. I think that is the destroyer. I dont appreciate this aspect at all. my moon in Libra (laziness) squareing the mercury i think is my problem with bringing myself to write.. but I think Im doing alot better then I have before.

I heard pysche having to do something with all of this? Mine is conjunct pluto involved in the grand trine. I have nothing in the third house.

posted February 23, 2008 03:30 AM            

Venus in the 3rd house
--Love of storytelling.

Neptune conjunct/parallel Sun
Neptune trine Moon
--Imaginative.
--Neptune rules my 5th, so that probably helps focus my Neptunian energies on creative work rather than less healthy Neptunian pursuits.

Cap on the 3rd house
Mercury sextile Saturn (the tightest aspect in my chart)
Venus in Capricorn
--Desire to manifest in the real world that which I imagine. I want a finished product not just an idea.
--Mental discipline.

Mercury in the first house in Scorpio
Mercury conjunct Uranus
Mercury rules 8th & 11th.
--Can't hurt.

Mercury square Moon
--My Moon is in Leo in the 10th house. Squares are action-oriented aspects. So, perhaps this gives the need to communicate (Mercury) creatively (Leo) with the public (10th house).

Asteroids that may be relevant for this...
--Psyche conjunct Pallas by degree, & both opp Moon by degree.
--Eros in Pisces conj SN by degree
--Chiron in the 7th (trine Venus in the 3rd & Jupiter/Mars in the 10th).
--Asteroid for my real name is in the 3rd house conj Venus.

im really very relief to see that not only you didnt disappeared of LL ( which i applaude) but also to see that you simply are the One of a kind hihihi - and thanks for the acurate " Look at Diandraīs Country"

I didnt knew you writte! I imagine its can have a ~huge sense of humour,the one only directed to a very peculiar group of people

DD,
ITīS not a surprise that you writte! I always imagined you did that,and i believe we are very alike in that way - the words that come from deep inside,through our understanding of ourselves and probably,i know the surprise you feel after reading what you wrote- do you feel as it seemed that somebody else wrote that? Another You in the deeper of yourself,much more profound and evolved? I feel that - i also have Neptune in 3rd.

Glaucus,
i will search for more cosmobiology ,thanks for the explanations.

Lucia23,

i completelly agree with you.There are as many diferent writers as there exists the uniqueness of each of us - so in my view eveyone is a writer - just not everybody is really qualified isnt it? I know what you mean -it makes me mad to see all the mediocer so-called "writers" to find sucess just cause of marketing,the right friends in high positions of the business...and when i started this thread it was merely as a curiosity , not to see if "well if i have the good placements i will be a writer.." - NO WAY!imnot the type of person who seeks the commercial success through "the wrong reasons" - when i think of my dream as a writer,i visualize myself feeling the ultimate happiness of being a pubished writer,not by the famous,not by the appearing on TV or being rich - i see my happiness in the words i write,and WISH to see those words as being felt by others,by as many as can be.I wish to see something that was "born" within myself,through my soul and mind,with just the Truth,that is seen everyday,in others and in the Life itself - never seen till then.

I am a writer since the day i wrote my very fisrt word - i am the words that i write and not the person that is seen.
Even when fist began to know how to wrote, my Mom was surprised to see the Depth in me,i was a child outside but always saw the world as if i was already ancient.
I believe i have a message to pass,and that will be through my writings

English is not my home language so if some of my sentences werenīt spelled right,i do apologise for that - i do only ask for opinions and im always happy to see as many people as can be,giving their opinions and contributting to good astrological discussions.

Well,im portuguese and my writings are all obviously in my home language - itīs a very beautiful one, and i see the word "saudade" as one of the most magic words ever!

I have a degree in health and environment but i dont feel that as being my vocation really - i find literature to be my place of ultimate joy and sadness - so thatīs the right Path for me for sure.

And yes,the potencialities of a good writer can appear in the chart,but if you dont have the essence within you,you cant really BE a writer.

Someday i know some of my writings will be published and i know it will be the happiest day of my life.

When i started this thread it was my curiosity speacking higher than my Counscious - but coincidence or not it is not the 1st time someone said to me i will become a very good writer,and it was not by my chart

Glaucus,

if i take the equal house system,get diferent results also: Jup in 3rd,conj Uranus;Neptune there also,oposing NN/Vesta.

Merc as well conj asc,in the interesting degree of 0šLibra,one of the Aries Point,supposed to do with "Involvement with larger World" - oposing Vertex,skuares MC.

Interesting to see that my VX also is in the Aries Point of 0šAries - If i see the oposition from Merc to VX with both being in the Aries Point-what to think of this??Thay maybe the qualities related to Merc is definately intimatelly conected to my Destiny ( and involving masses..)?

Ceres,placed in the 5th,trines the stellium in the 9th of:PF/NN/Vesta.

Puts Sun in the 12th - which also true,i always needed my solitude moments,and im very comtemplative.Venus in 11th somehow helps this aspect and balances it though.

Kiron is placed in the 9th,trines ASC/Merc - so i can see this as being true. Through my Writings i always find a sense of inner healing.
It skuares my Sun/Venus and its true also - i find the better words and the Higher Truths through pain and suffering,regarding my own self of being and my feelings. I always knew that itīs thought the Higher Processes of Pain that we can fully understand and know ourselves - when i say pain i refer to sadness,sorrows,regrets,etc.
