Hi Chris,

 

I want to thank you for this comment because in going back and reviewing

what I wrote, I wouldn't even agree with myself as I wrote that paragraph!

(I'll have to change it.) I don't think there are 'writers signs' as such.

The truth is more likely that a sign might describe the type of writing a

person does or perhaps only how he/she writes. So we have gossip

columnists, writers of fiction, technical writers, etc.

 

Using myself as an example, I have a Mars-Mercury mutual reception, Mercury

being on a cusp in Scorpio, Mars in Virgo. So I write boring technical

(Mars) articles like those on my web site. I tend to use a lot of figures

and tables (Mercury). I have no Moon to speak of, so I'd be completely

incapable of writing pulp fiction. And I can't buy into Rudhyaresque

astrology.

 

So a future research project might be to see if there is any correlation

between the type of writing a person does and the signs of the Moon and

Mercury.

 

Thinking about the Taurus-Virgo-Capricorn trigon, which I tend to call the

Mercury trigon (because Mercury is at home and exalted in Virgo), this

wouldn't be a particularly creative set of signs. Rather they might tend to

science and/or mathematics because I believe their innate functioning is of

the mind--neither emotional nor intuitive--but similar to the Tropical air

signs. I do hold with the early sideralists in that the traits of the

Tropical signs are really sidereal sign bleed through.

 

And that's just my two cents.
