Dear Horary experts
Should I write? I have written before, but with work and family and life in general, i haven’t pursued it. I read voraciously. I have things I want to write about.
But there is some curious inertia, something which isn’t quite fear of failure, which is holding me back. I have a very busy and demanding job so always have an excuse. I like my job but feel an urge to communication on a wider platform - hence the desire to write. I have a deep urge for writing to be my second career.
Someone I admire, who writes, has invited me to write a piece for a blog. I said I would, but haven’t started.
I felt rather desperate this morning and asked this question - should I write?
My attempts at analysis: (I am very much a beginner)
No immediate restrictions - asecendent not early or late, moon not void of course or in Via Combusta, Saturn not in H7.
I am Mars, in Aries in H12 (perhaps signifying lack of confidence, or maybe the solitary nature of writing?). Moon symbolises the activity of the chart, in H10 (emphasis on career?) in Capricorn so in exaltation of Mars but in its own detriment.
My career, fame etc are symbolised by Saturn in H10 in Capricorn - own house, in exaltation of Mars, but in detriment of Moon.
Writing I presume is H3 - mercury which seems very apt. This is also in Capricorn but H9. So again in exaltation of Mars but detriment of moon
Now this is where it gets very confusing for me.
1. What does it mean that moon, Saturn and mercury are all in exaltation of Mars? I read online that these planets are in places where Mars (ie, me) is exalted - but what does this actually mean ?
2. What does it mean that Capricorn (career) is in a place where moon is in detriment? Does this mean that my career doesn’t like my feelings? (Sorry I know that sounds stupid but I don’t know how else to interpret it)
3. Mars and Saturn come together by square. That doesn’t sound great.
4. Is application to mercury required? Mercury applies to Mars by square too
5. What is holding me back? (Perhaps this isn’t a Horary question at all)
Should I write? Or am I deluding myself?
I am very grateful for any insight. Thank you!
