Inspiring Astrology Writing Prompts for Creative Business Owners

I love a good writing prompt. Sometimes I look at writing prompts, especially when they’re in a prescribed format when I have to follow them in order, and they feel stifling. 

Or, I read a prompt, ready to dive into my unconscious mind to see what wants to come out, and it just feels off. I can’t explain the feeling, but it doesn’t feel exciting to write about. 

A few years ago, I started aligning my content writing calendar with the astrological calendar. 

So why not have a set of writing prompts to explore during every astrological season?

How to use these writing prompts: 

• Save this article to come back to throughout the year and visit each sun sign’s writing prompts as we move from season to season. 

• Choose to ponder, write about, or explore one prompt a week for the season.

• Have fun with them and come back to them. 

• You can use these to drive content inspiration for your business, or writing ideas for your blog and emails — just use them.

• Play with the writing prompts for your sun, rising, and moon signs. Don’t know what those are? Find out for free on astro.com with your date, time, and place of birth, or join my favorite astrologer’s community — Luminary Parenting.
