I am a fiction writer and I am an astrologer. So why, you may wonder, don’t I write astrology books? Why fiction?

I’ll tell you why: Because there are already WAY too many good books out there about astrology. I’m not about to start reinventing the wheel. It works just fine.

As for fiction, I don’t know how many astrologers out there write it. My advice is they really should. People would start reading again. Astrologers know more about “character” than psychologists and sociologists combined. (Do I have the quantitative research to back that claim? Of course not. But until someone proves I’m wrong I’ll go on my hunch and say I’m right.)

Needless to say, my lifelong study of astrology has actually helped me immensely with developing my fictional characters. So it’s no wonder that the main character in my soon-to-be-released books is an astrologer. (Hey, I said I didn’t write about astrology – astrologers are another story. And no, these books are not autobiographical.)

My first book, Ariel's Office: Moon Void of Course, is now available through SynergEbooks.The second book in the series, Ariel and the Lady of the House: Moon in the 8th, will be out later this year.  

Here you'll find my humorous and painfully honest take on the 12 illustrious Sun signs of the Zodiac, Aries through Pisces. What makes them tick? What drives them? What makes them cry for their mommies? It’s a compilation of observations and (shockingly true) generalizations about the signs that I’ve made over the course of a lifetime of studying astrology.

What might these truths be? For example:

• Aries is afraid of going crazy.
• Taurus wants to be kept.
• Gemini believes they’re smarter than everyone else.
• Cancers have mother issues.
  
• Leos are pushovers.
• Virgos are vain.
• Libras are control freaks.
• Scorpios feel isolated and misunderstood.
• Sagittarians are self-absorbed.
• Capricorns are depressive and fatalistic.
• Aquarians believe they’re keepers of the truth.
• Pisceans have a mean streak.

Did I strike a nerve with anyone? I’m sure I did. But above all, this blog is meant to be fun. And funny.

(And as far as EVERYONE is concerned, all persons and events discussed on this site are purely fictional. That includes all of you. I’m not writing about you. Honest. Stop being such an egomaniac.)

Feedback is essential to keeping this site fun and interesting. Don’t be shy. That gets you nowhere. I’d love to hear from you. (By the way, political correctness not essential, though racism and bigotry will not be tolerated. Capiche?) And remember this is a work in progress. Have a topic about a particular sign you want me to cover? Just ask. I aim to please. And if you're looking to start a dialog about one of my blogs and exchange some ideas, visit me on MySpace or join my group on Facebook.
