Asperitus Casting Runes...

- Greetings, goatish types! Last month we left you among the cohorts of your new business associates, felling trees as you vented your anger on the natural world, incensed by your literary rejection.
The New Moon comes in Taurus and your solar fifth house, bringing nasty aspects to mighty Mars and mystic Neptune, while Mercury the messenger remains obdurately retrograde in that sign. You lay about you, left and right, with the shining blade of your Swedish axe until the forest is but a skeleton of the onetime living body of its grandeur. Shame on you, goatish types! You contemplate the corpse you have made with your fury and are once more moved to poetic inspiration. There are astrological aspects to support this but they are so dull, I can't be bothered to recount them. And besides, we haven't got time for that! You're swept up by another bout of poetic frenzy and write yet another book, this time on the devastation wrought by the hand of man (a classical expression). You bind it and send it off to the selfsame publisher. This is not in the hope of acceptance but rather to make a point in your own vindictive way.
But, tally-ho and yoicks, little goatish types! What's this? Come the Full Moon in Scorpio that brings an eclipse to your solar eleventh house, you get an urgent letter from this publisher. How can this be? You've barely put your new book in the mail! As the messenger moves forward, you discover the awful truth. Your publisher tells you, with humble apologies, that your manuscript was labelled incorrectly when it came to him and thus his savage rejection was not for your work. In fact, he wants to publish your book and offers a handsome advance, as long as he can use pictures of the trees of your beautiful forest, him being a noted environmentalist.
What will you do! Why, the solution's obvious! As Mercury meets with Venus and both clash with mystic Neptune, you hire someone to fake the necessary photographs and ring your broker and get him to sell all your interests in the forestry company. You then write an impassioned missive to the publisher about how the corporate world has moved in to destroy this natural wonder, thus explaining the second book you have sent about their marauding depredations. You now claim it is a savage indictment of the heartless world of business. All seems to be going well with your cynical scam, as your publisher suggests publishing the two books together.
But, come the New Moon comes in Gemini and a solar eclipse in your sixth house, disaster strikes! Great heavens, little goats! As the Moon's light is occluded, you fall insensate to the floor of your mountain cabin. What will happen to you now? Click here next month and I'll make something up, of course!
