Once a person has a love for literature, the asteroid placements NEVER become negative, they are only to be interpreted positively.

So you have to now utilize the knowledge from these placements to understand better what kind of wiritng will suit you.

MUSA conj AESOP will inspire you to create poetic stories with strong morals.

DICKENS conj KARMA explains a destiny to know more about not just the works of Charles Dickens, but his own life. Why was he able to create immortal characters so easily? These are the questions you must try and answer in a way that will help your wiriting. DUMAS conj Moon will help you weave tales of noble aristiocrats with strong emotions.
SHAKESPEARE in 8th Taurus will help you write about well established themes of death and transformation, in a format of entertaining plays and set in Taurean Countrysides/Mansions . You know about DOSTOEVSKY already, that is good.
Euripides conj Amor will give you an edge in writing about romance.

So put this together and choose your best style, thats it.

that is very interesting about your literature asteroids.
Which genre do you like to write in?

I myself have been writing and inventing stories as far as I can remember, and have written different things in different phases of my life; Poetry (a whole lot of poetry) when I was a teenager and growing up, a tiny little bit of theatre scripts and even one or two libretti and lyrics for musicals, and in my latest phase I started writing novellike things (even though not as long as a real novel), fanfiction stories, short stories, and they mostly dealt with vampires for some reason.
I wonder what asteroid I should look at for that (there is no Bram Stoker asteroid).

Well, I have DNA conjunct MUSA conjunct SAPPHO in LIbra in 10th house, trine PSYCHE and TALENT in Aquarius in 2nd house and also trine SHAKESPEARE in Gemini in 7th house.

The funny thing about that is, that the day I am going to see Hamlet in London, Transit Venus will be conjunct my Shakespeare and Transit Shakespeare will be sextile my Shakespeare and trine my Sun and Mercury.

DOSTOJEWSKY exactly conjunct KARMA in Gemini in 7th house
- trine MOON in Aquarius in 2nd house
trine GRIMM in Libra in 10th house

Just ask the Asteroid Man
It is Asteroid TRANSYLVANIA.
I am privileged to know a European psychic who has regressed one of her lifelines as Count Vlad's wife/consort. From what she recalled, I can only say, "Truth is stranger than fiction"....
She did not tell me about this until I made her chart and I still do not know what made me add this Asteroid to the study, it was the first time, and it clicked.

Interestingly, Anne Rice has TRANSYLVANIA conjunct KAALI and trine the Moon. This is the only astrological explanation for her successfully writing the Vampire Chronicles.

She wrote "Interview with a Vampire" in 1973 when Tr TRANSYLVANIA conj natal Pluto and Saturn conj her KARMA.
The book got published in 1985 after transit TRANSYLVANIA conj her Neptune!

"I am privileged to know a European psychic who has regressed one of her lifelines as Count Vlad's wife/consort."
Hmm, I only know what I have read about him, and well, I think he was a cruel, horrible, disgusting man.

No, the fascination is not related to the historical sociopathic murderer, I think my personal fascination with vampires has to do with the symbolism, probably stemming from literature.

"She did not tell me about this until I made her chart and I still do not know what made me add this Asteroid to the study, it was the first time, and it clicked."
I think you are very intiuitive and so you somehow sensed the connection.

"Interestingly, Anne Rice has TRANSYLVANIA conjunct KAALI and trine the Moon."
Interesting.

I was fascinated by vampires since I was even too little to know about them. Interestingly I also sensed their connection to wolves and mist, as it is described in the myths.
I made the association in dreams, where wolves, mist and vampires were interconnected. But when I first dreamed it was even before I could read!

Later in my 20`s I had a series of recurring vampire - dreams, illuminating the symbol and my view on them from different angles.
Those dreams only stopped when I finally realized WHAT exactly it was that they symbolize to me. I guess it could be different for other people.
But even then I haven`t had read anything about vampires, no novel, and no certainly, nothing of Anne Rice`s series, didn`t even see the film.

A bit after those dreams I started writing those short stories, which featured a vampire; he had different names, but I just recently realized that I always always wrote the same character, the same appearance, the same man. As if he was someone I once knew. Strange, hu?

HOwever, several of my readers, and they didn`t know each other, mentioned that my main male protagonist reminded them a lot of Lestat.
And I was like Lestat who?, as I had never really heard of the vampire chronicles by Anne Rice.
One or two said that "my" vampire didn`t just remind them of Lestat, but of Lestat like in the film "Queen of the Damned".
Well, after some of those comments I finally read her books.
Hmm, do my male protagonist have any resemblance with HER Lestat?
I am not sure about that, but I really can see the actor who played Lestat in Queen of the Damned in some of my scenes, though. At least partly.
That was a pretty strange feeling.

I also just recently stumbled across the musical and about a performer who acted out the Dracula character. And he is almost a mirror image of what I had seen in my mind. I`m pretty stunned with his performance. But the mix of music and voice and myth is just so captivating. Maybe I should look where my ORpheus is?

Well, my TRANSYLVANIA is exactly conjunct my OVIDIUS conjunct my PLUTO conjunct my MC in Libra in 10th house (11th house in equal).

TRANSYLVANIA also sextiles ASCENDANT with 0.0. and sextiles MARS and squares VENUS, ISIS and OSIRIS.

It also conjuncts DRACO KARMA and trines DRACO MOON.

And Draco TRANSYLVANIA conjuncts tropical ANUBIS.

Interestingly this performer I talked about, the one who played Dracula as well as Lestat in a musical, has PLUTO conjunct
TRANSYLVANIA conjunct ORPHEUS and all of that falls onto my own TRANSYLVANIA-PLUTO-MC-OVIDIUS conjunction. His PLUTO even exactly conjuncts my TRANSYLVANIA and OVIDIUS.
HIs ORPHEUS conjuncts my MC with 0.00.

I guess it is no surprise that I am so thrilled with his performance.

And the timing is also amazing, as Transiting TRANSYLVANIA is exactly conjunct my MERLIN, and also conjuncts my SUN and MERCURY.
And in the transits there is an exact ORPHEUS_EROS-conjunction, which opposes my natal KARMA and conjuncts this performer`s natal VALENTINE.

TRansit KARMA conjuncts the stellium of my PLUTO-TRANSYLVANIA-MC-OVIDIUS and his PLUTO-TRANSYLVANIA-ORPHEUS

Synastrically I had a short look of course, and it seems that people really have "sensors" to seek out the performers, who offer some "hooks".

In this case I couldn`t help but notice:
-HIs TRUE NODE conjuncts my VALENTINE within 2°
(my TRUE NODE very widely conjuncts his VALENTINE, too, but with 4,5°, so really too wide I guess)

- his JUNO trines my AMOR exactly and his AMOR conjuncts my JUNO within 1,5°

- his PSYCHE conjuncts my SN, KAALI, DSC and trines my PLUTO

- his VENUS exactly trines my VENUS And also exactly squares my MARS

- his MARS conjuncts my DSC and exactly quinkunx my VENUS

- his PLUTO sextile my ASC exactly and squares my VENUS

- his KARMA trines my SUN

Interesting how astrology even works in the little areas of our fantasy.

EDIT:

I noticed a funny thing about this performer and me.

Both of us have MESOPOTAMIA conjunct VALENTINE within 1° in the natals.

His MESOPOTAMIA / VALENTINE opposes my KARMA and widely conjuncts my TRUE NODE (4,5°), while my MESOPOTAMIA / VALENTINE squares his KARMA and closely conjuncts his TRUE NODE.

In the composite there is an exact conjunction of MESOPOTAMIA and VALENTINE on 6°05 Sagittarius and 6°06 Sagittarius with the SABIAN:
"CUPID IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR OF A HUMAN`S HEART"
