And I had an epiphany.

I've been really down in the last period of time, thinking I'm oh so lost, I've taken the wrong turn in life and missed opportunities, yadda yadda yadda. I'm writing this for the people who go through those feelings too. Sure, they suck, but stick with them. So those feelings created a lot of inner tension and from that inner tension came my epiphany. Thank you, Mr. Uranus, and thank you also, Mercury retro. You're not so bad when it comes to reanalysing your life and seeing where you missed the turn.

And it's so simple and obvious that I just want to smack myself for not figuring it out sooner. I probably won't be making a career out of it - I don't intend to quit my already successful career, but omg does it excite me to no end to finally put myself out there into something - though no doubt it will be under a pseudonym. So in case you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about or whether or not I'm crazy (d'oh, we are talking about an Uranus transit - and did I mention in on the 3rd house cusp?!) - here's the summary of it: I NEED TO WRITE! Not just write for myself, but actually putting my work out there. I don't care much whether or not I will make money out of it, though I believe I could, but that is not the thing that drives me! See, I've always known I need to find an outlet for my Gemini NN in the 5th, but I thought well, maybe I'll take acting classes when I'm older and more bored with life. I do have Actor asteroid on my Asc, so it felt like a possibility. That's not it! It's writing. 3rd house in Aries, Mars and Venus in the 3rd, 3H ruler exactly opposite Pluto, also Mercury opp Pluto (I get in a warp when I write, time stands still, ever got that feeling?! Man, it makes me feel alive to be so passionate about something and finally, finally letting it out). I even have POF in the 3rd, exactly on my Mars/Venus mp. Ok, it would've been better if it was my Mercury/Venus mp. But here comes the drawback (there had to be one, or I would've been a writer by now, don't you think?)

Saturn. :/

He's not just conjunct my MC ruler, but also opposite my 3rd ruler Mars and, widely, very widely, Mercury. "I'm ridiculous", "my ideas have no real value", "nobody will like my writing" etc etc etc. But then again, that's my inner talk about everything under the sun and I still got stuff done. *kicks Saturn in the behind* And I already said I won't be using my name (Scorpio MC would like some mystery, you know), so who really cares if I make a fool out of a fake one?

It's perfect. It really is. I've been searching for meaning and a sense of purpose that I couldn't fully find in my current career (might I add I have Uranus in the 10th? A sudden change of path was not unlikely) and it feels soooo right when I think about writing.

Uranus, you're brilliant! But you already knew that lol.


PS: I'm too excited to foolproof for errors in my writing, like Saturn always makes me do, so excuse them please. I'll do better when I'll actually start to write! lmao

I love my new therapist! She made me write. Of course they tell you to write, my previous one did too, but this one convinced me to! She made me remember how much I used to love to write when I was in my teens, how involved I got into it, how passionate it was to put a part of myself in it. So I started to write a diary, which I haven't done in more than a decade. I usually just feel a huge block when it comes to expressing myself in written form and give up soon. This time it wasn't like that, words simply flowed through me and it was amazing. That was the first step, but it got me here! And to think about a week ago I thought there is no hope for me, that I am never going to find the door out of this bleak existence. But I did, I did, and I'm so grateful that I found the answer!

This is my second pass of Uranus conjunct my Mercury - though it wasn't precisely exact last time, it brought on the death of my Mom (Mercury rules my 8th as well as my 5th), so I was a bit concerned about its 2nd and 3rd passings. I thought maybe an unplanned pregnancy (actually I've been thinking a lot about adopting lately) might happen, never would've thought this was on the menu.

I'd write more but I'm late for my swimming class.

Please leave comments if you have any (at least I'd know people read my writings lmao), musings, advice, asteroids I might like to look at etc. I know there are a few threads in here about the astrological indicators for writing ability, I'll check those out when I'll return. I think my chart has a good chance to fill the bill, the problems remain with self confidence as well as the discipline required to write constantly. Meaning Saturn. :/

It just hit me I'm also having another transit that might have contributed to this epiphany: Neptune conjunct Talent. How about that...

Thank you, GK! I will!

And thank you, Koniucha! I have the sesquiquadrate natally and I get them too!

As a matter of fact, here's my chart with my transits for today - and I stand corrected: there was an Uranus-Apollo exact conjunction in the sky, exactly conjunct my Mercury and my 3rd house cusp! The Sun was on my Karma. Mind blowing!

Wow, I'm extremely glad that you wrote this. Not only am I happy to read about how you're doing something to help put the spark back into your life, but last night, I was thinking (quite heavily) about how I should start writing, too! I'm an avid daydreamer, much to my chagrin, sometimes, and I think that turning my dreams into stories might be helpful for me.

With Venus trine Neptune in my natal, and tNeptune in the third, recently squaring my ascendant, I think this could be a really good thing. Even though, I'm not much of a writer. I guess it's never too late to learn, right?

I also noticed how we have the same Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus sign. My Sun is at 12°, Mercury 17° - it was conjunct Uranus earlier this year and a long time before that, I believe, Mars at 6°, and Venus at 28°.

Let's not forget that you have Moon conjunct Neputune trining your Mars in the third house!

I've thought about it myself - I've had Uranus conjunct Mercury for over a year now, I think. I'm more interested in getting back into drawing, though - I miss it so much! But no longer have my focus.

I have started to use a private writing site online, one that I used about five-six years ago, to get out all of my worries and vents. I had intended to use the site all along, starting January 2011, but I'd been worried before that it was keeping me stuck - it's helped me a bit recently.

I need a project, though. Nothing to do with anything worrisome - something fun.

Thank you for the replies, guys!

Lacey! Can I see your chart? That's so awesome that we're going through this at the same time! Ohhh daydreaming has been a major issue for me for a long, long time! Yes, part of it is because of that tight Moon-Neptune conjunction, which sits on the SN - easy to fall back into it, hard to move from it though. It's reassuring to think I could make good use of it if I wanted to. I remember having a wild imagination, though I think I got used to ignore it for the most part of my life. Writing is one domain where we could let it all out! How exciting!!

Btw, I watched this earlier and it was very inspirational to me because I relate quite a bit to her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvMtUuedLwU

Teasel, that's how it started for me, this train of thought, thinking I need a project, something to immerse myself into and forget about hunger, time, regrets, sadness, something to take me over completely. And I can see myself doing that with writing - I have done it before. I don't care at this point if anyone would read it or appreciate it, the act of writing just gives me pleasure in itself.

What writing site do you use, if you can say? I didn't even know there was such a thing! lol If you don't want to share the name for privacy reasons, that's okay, I understand.


Stawr, you're welcome! Personally, I've come to see Uranus in Aries as a huge gift to us Aries peeps. I loved the conjunction to my Sun as well. It has changed and liberated me in every way. I am a little concerned about the conjunction to Mars, but I have a little bit of breathing time until it gets to 28-29 Aries.

Dancing maenad;
You just have so much writer talent in your chart, Saturn can put you down alright, but he can also make you more structured and planned, stay on a project etc which is needed if you plan to take this further. It's about twisting Saturn and see the glass as half full? Also ol' Saturn is your chart ruler, no wonder that feeling you have is so strong.
Mercury in second house is a potential to make some money on it even, right? winks

I love to write myself, but have been held back.. Im a fellow Cappy Asc.. Hmm, my teacher used to read my stories for the class, much to my embarrasment. My Mercury is teamed up with Neptune and Venus (third house ruler), so am staying away from writing historically accurate articles tho lol
