Important Planets for a Successful Writing Career

Jupiter

So, a strong Jupiter placement is a positive indication of a native with a wise, clear, and knowledgeable mind. They will have a natural inclination to learn and share their experience. This also means they will have the ability to be their creative best.

Moon

Moon is your mind, thoughts, fantasies, and emotions. It could bless you with the mightiest imaginative skills, the craziest creativity, and a thought-provoking psyche to move others.

Sun

Sun is the indicator of fame, recognition, and authority. As I mentioned before, you could be any kind of writer and if there is a heavy influence of Sun in your chart then maybe your book could be an instant best-selling one in the market. Or, it could come to light through a movie adaptation. Either way, it will bring you to the forefront.

Saturn

Now why is Saturn on the list? So, Saturn is a critical thinker. It denotes people and the society you live in. If a strong Saturn influences your writing career, stay assured that your work is going to strike a chord with the masses, regardless of where you head in life. Authors with strong Saturn placements have remained household names for generations.

Mercury

The most important planet on this list,  Mercury denotes intelligence. Aside from that, it is an indication of good communication, creativity and artistic. A significant Mercury placement could lead the native to be a prolific writer or columnist. They could also do well in the fields of editing, mass media, publishing, and anything that is majorly covered in journalism.

Now these planets, not only help you solely in your writing career but also help you choose a style and field. Let’s say you have your heart set on writing, the more prominent a planet in your Kundli, the inclination towards a particular niche increases.

Planets & Writing Genre

Sun

Where there is Sun, there is fun. If Sun remains at a powerful position in your Kundli concerning your writing career, you will write about everything current and entertaining. Yes, there is general writing seen mostly and not a very structured manuscript sort of writing (prominently) but it sure is popular.

Moon

If Moon influences your writing career, then you will pour your heart into classical literature. You will touch upon the classical shifts and plots of literature reflected in your classic novels and short stories.

Mars

If you have a prominent Mars guiding you to write, chances are, you will work on the next superhero segment. Whatever that will come up with, will have adventures written all over it. There is more, you could also be writing for genres related to sports and politics. All in all, it will be packed with energy and heat.

Mercury

You would be surprised with yourself with Mercury taking over your mind as a writer. There is drama, humour, fantasy, thriller, and a lot of detective stories. And just when you think the genres end, enter the most entertaining blogs and articles. That is the power of Mercury. With its might, there is hardly any limit on your imagination. The best example of a Mercury-influenced author/writer would be George R.R. Martin, the sole creator of the iconic A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) high fantasy novel series.

Jupiter

If Jupiter has a heavy influence on your persona, then it is going to affect the way you see things. This is going to reflect on your work. Writing is no exception. A Jupiter-influenced person will write about spirituality and its connection with humans. Even when they will choose to write about religion, it will be well-acknowledged. So much so, that it will be translated.

Venus

When Venus rules over your writing, there will be romantic and poetic verses and plots dominating your work. The native focuses on fiction that evokes emotions like no other. In case the writer chooses to discover non-fiction, it will likely be self-help, self-care types of work.

Saturn

When Saturn takes over your passion for writing, there is a significant amount of philosophy that rules your work. You could be writing on societal norms and laws. There is a good chance of splendid autobiographies as well.

Although Rahu and Ketu are hardly ever considered significant in terms of planetary prestige, the influence of these shadow planets somehow kicks in. While Rahu will lead the writer’s mind towards technical, mystery, and sci-fi setup, Ketu will make the writer write on topics that are taboo or horror even. The work would make the reader introspect.
