“It’s the nuts and bolts of storytelling that has always drawn me to write. But with fiction, you write a story and then it takes on a life of its own and it has functions that exceed whatever intentions you had as a writer. Books can become windows into a world.”
— Khaled Hosseini
“Eric, you are so right on! Your reading engenders within me feelings of you somehow being able to get inside my mind, inside my heart, and inside my most precious sanctuary…my soul! And yes, Saturn has been going thru my Sun sign, and along with it to make life real exciting, beautiful Neptune has been squaring my Sun. So to say the very least, it has been a time of uncertainty, inspiration, and reflection; where do I put my energy, my creativity, my soul and my spirit; and how do I accomplish what I want to do and need to do, and hope to do.”
— Ann Cortese, B.S., M.P.S.

If Your Birthday is March 4
(The Day of Creative Isolation) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Today’s an excellent day to put your imagination to artistic use, or to immerse yourself in studying something mysterious or spiritual. Yet the flip side is that trying to be precise and clear in regular interpersonal conversation could be challenging. It’s okay to go with what flows more easily today, and then focus on more detail-oriented tasks another time. The trick is to be honest with yourself about where your mind is at, and choose accordingly. If you can do that, you’re more likely to be honest with others — and to avoid those who might mislead you, whether intentionally or through a misunderstanding.
Written in the Planets
Venus stations retrograde in Aries today, and will continue in apparent backwards motion until April 15. Retrograde planets can be seen as asking a question, prompting a review, or drawing you deeper within yourself. Among the possible themes you might encounter (particularly while Venus is in Aries): questions of individual and collective identity — especially identity as mediated by technology; the idea of relationships as mirrors; and questions about empathy. Also today, Mercury conjoins Neptune in Pisces. That’s a pretty dreamy, slippery mental environment. It suggests that as Venus changes direction, you might want to keep your expectations for clear, direct and firm communication on the low side, especially in intimate relationships. If you can aim loosely for the conversational equivalent of an impressionistic painting — while still being completely honest — things might flow better. You may even find that space to be beautiful, and creatively fertile.
