I've been wondering lately if whether I should take writing as a full-time job or not.
Could you please guys offer me some astrological insight into this ?

I'm also confused about which type of writing I should stick to.
I'm posting my Natal Chart. I hope that you can help me with this.
I'd truly appreciate it

Ruler of 10th in 3rd house which is associated with writing. Mercury is also conjunct Venus which can make you creative. Mercury conjunct NN, your destiny is associated with Mercury. Mercury conjunct Pluto should give you insights. Saturn sextiles Mercury which should help you in maintaining structure while writing. Ascendant is also ruled by Mercury and I just realized you've got a stellium in 3rd house.
I think you should definitely consider it. Mercury seems very important in your chart.

With your 12th House cusp in Leo and the Sun in the 3rd House, I would say that you could definitely be a writer!

Also, some astrologers note that the 12th House tends to be our sacrifice to the world. It makes sense when you think of the 12th as how we connect to everything instead of just ourselves, our chosen groups or our relationships. It's kind of how you make your mark on the collective unconscious.

Your Sun is also sitting in the sign of the storyteller (Sagittarius)!

You're welcome!

That is a big question to consider. Really though, I think it's something you already know, you just need to start writing to bring it to the surface.

I would look to the quintile series in your chart. Quintiles have been said to represent our personal style and creative style.

From the book "Aspects in Astrology" by Sue Tompkins:

quote:

---

Hamblin has isolated and promoted the notion of ‘style’ as being descriptive of the quintile aspect, so that a quintile will say something not only about an individual’s personal style but also about the style and technical quality of their creative work. With respect to fiveness, Hamblin quotes Leonard Bosnan (The Meaning and Philosophy of Numbers) which I would also like to do here: Five, according to its root meaning, is the number of harvesting, of arranging the ‘sheaves’ of the produced Substance, the hitherto potential substance which now becomes matter . . . The number five represents that Cosmic process during which Matter is qualified, separated into kinds, and arranged, like the harvest for use (my italics). This description of fiveness sounds to me very like Virgo, which is ruled by Mercury, the planet that a numerologist would normally attribute to the number five. In fact tentatively linking the ideas associated with Mercury to the quintile series is a good way of beginning to gain some understanding of this aspect. The relationship between the mind and the quintile series has long been made, which also sounds very Mercurial. More precisely, John Addey links this aspect with the idea of imposing one’s mind on the world. If quintiles describe style, perhaps we can go one step further and say that a quintile aspect will describe how we might communicate or give form to our mental processes either orally, through the written word or through the use of our hands. Hamblin also points out that the quintile series is strongly emphasised in the charts of people who are preoccupied with making, forming, linking and arranging things. In his book Harmonics in Astrology, John Addey suggests that the quintile series describes the kind of art a person is drawn to. He also links this series with the urge to power, ‘the prelude of all creation, the desire to dominate some kind of material’. Knowledge is power, as is the idea that gives birth to some kind of creation. Addey also associates the number five with the character of a marriage. One aspect of marriage might also be considered Mercurial for it is about linkage and connection. If we take the word ‘marry’ in the widest and truest sense, it means to unite, and the quintile aspect is concerned with the impulse to unite an idea with some kind of material substance. As Addey says: Every artist (using that word to include every kind of human art.

You have three quintiles in the chart you put up. One is Mercury quintile the Ascendant.

From the book "Aspects in Astrology":

quote:

---

All contacts from Mercury to the Ascendant– Descendant axis favour autobiographical writing.

Then you have a quintile from Jupiter to Neptune.

Jupiter to Neptune indicates BIG FANTASIES! Maybe you have fantasies spinning through your mind all the time or big beliefs or philosophies.

For example, writing about you going on fantastical voyages, to new worlds, to space, across seas, etc.

It really is something for you to think about and I would really suggest that you just start writing and see where your mind takes you!

It's actually true.

I've always wanted to write about distant imaginary places where lines between the " YOU" and the " ME" blur, places where we all find ourselves seated face to face, naked of all prejudices and un-masked of all pretension.

I dream of this magical place where the entire globe becomes a single colorful room painted by differences and ornamented with tolerance. A place to learn how to love and share without boundaries.

Also, I've always had a thing for historical writing.

You know Silver, judging by the way you describe your experiences in your Astro 2.0 posts, I'd say you'd be a compelling writer. You should consider it! I think you'd do well with Romance/Psych/Suspense genres.
