Does writing feel "hard" for you lately? I know the feeling, but I've reframed this story in my mind — it's not hard, it's different.
In this episode, I'm sharing how the current energy of Pisces season — the final season of the Zodiac, could be influencing our writing flow.
With Mercury in retrograde and the mutable water sign of Pisces encouraging us to dissolve structure, forcing words or finishing projects could feel like an uphill climb. I've been there, starting a dozen things but finishing none. And … it's OKAY. There's no judgment.
I'm walking you through how to use this intuitive, watery energy to your advantage, whether that means going back to old drafts, following recurring ideas, or writing in fragments. You'll also hear about three practical Virgo shifts (because Virgo is opposite Pisces) to help you balance the energy you write with and move forward in a way that honors your body and makes for great writing.
Listen in to discover:
Why Pisces season makes you want to tinker instead of create.
The difference between writing that's "hard" and "not as expected."
How to uncover the writing your soul is calling you to do.
Writing is "different," not "hard": Reframe the story by recognizing that your writing flow changes day-to-day, month-to-month, and throughout the year.
How to work with the dissolving nature of Pisces — a time to give space for your intuition to speak without forcing boundaries or outcomes.
The goal of capturing, not necessarily completing all the writing ideas swirling in your mind
Consider writing in small bursts this season and connecting the dots later.
Three practical, Virgo-inspired shifts to help your writing flow:
Write in fragments: Don't try for a polished, finished draft on your first go. Let the words fall out quickly, set them aside, and come back later.
Follow your curiosity and write about recurring patterns and ideas that spark your interest, without the goal of finishing or monetizing.
Carve out quiet time to create mental space for journaling and reflection to hear yourself think and allow insights to drop in.
