What are your 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 10th House Placements

Mercury placements (including house positions, whether or not it's in retrograde, aspects, etc.)

I'm putting together a poetry book now, but it's just in the conceptual stage. I'll let you know when/if it happens.

Yes, if I actually complete it. The idea is for something pretty modest, what could be called a chapbook of poems from late 2017 to early 2018, Prayers Upon the Sidewalk.

When did you started this book? Are there any themes?

Have you ever posted anything on here/online? I am curious.

Yep, a childrens book and have quite a few more in me too.

Mercury in Pisces (4th) very loosely conjunct Jupiter from Aquarius, trine Saturn-Moon in the 9th House, trine Ascendant-Uranus. Venus in 3rd House, opposite MC.

Moon ruling MC.

No planets in 5th or 10th House, but Neptune ruling 5th and in the 2nd House. :-)

November 2017. The theme is in the title.

Yeah, I wrote a poem off the cuff for a thread for astrology related poetry somewhere on LL a couple years ago .... not finding it. So I'll just copy it here:

I sat and watched the bull
and wondered if I should shoot it
but no Gemini lent me ear to pull
so now I must exclude it
The bovine in peace, just sits
chawing by himself
like Aqua grandpa used to spit
and mumble 'bout the elf
We wouldn't shoot a human
whether flaky or a faker
so we wouldn't shoot that bull
for doing what's his nature

There's also this thread:
Poems inspired by meditation or spiritual moments.

The better question has anyone successfully published a book and made at least $1 on it.

Anyone can write a book. Just put it online as a .pdf.

Very rarely do authors get there books published and actually make any money.

You might not be familiar with the "Eat Shrink and Be Marry"cookbooks.

Which is they take existing recipes and start substituting it with low fat ingredients without alternating the taste.

The publishers rejected there idea and they perused anyway.

Became a best seller and they didn't owe the publishers anything.

My Planets
=========================================
☉‘ ♊, ☽ ♈, ASC ♑, ☿ ♊, ˇ÷ ♉, ˇö ♋ , ♃ ♒, ♄ ♏, ♅ ♐, ♆ ♑

I make a living as an author.

Mercury placements (including house positions, whether or not it's in retrograde, aspects, etc.)

Also if you want to share links?


Fiction. YA sci-fi/ Fantasy under one name & Romantic Suspense under another

Aries rising- so all of the standard placements for those houses. Neptune is conjunct my MC

Mercury is in my 12th, squaring Uranus in my 9th, and loosely conjunct my ASC.

You are actually 'making a living' at it? How EXCITING!

That usually doesn't happen right away. Normally (in the former days) you'd have to sell LOTS of books to receive those kinds of 'sustaining-sums'.

Royalty agreements?

Or,
.. Maybe you reached success doing it through self-promo and self-publishing?

Congratulations. That's pretty amazing.


Doing any speaking engagements, promotions--
Are your books available at local venues?
How about talks at the Libraries there?

Got book-URLS?

Have you made any youtube promotion vids?

(Do you have your characters use astrology?)
