My First Blog Post

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

I’m convinced

This one guy I saw cannot preserve his moon sign forever.

Pluto in Scorpio w/ Pluto in Feargo

There is a big belief about this.

A lot of people with Pluto in Scorpio somehow are allowed to sleep very late.

A Sense of Community

The Pluto in Virgo generation for unbeknownst reasons has to keep a vigilant, and constant sense of community virtually everywhere. Physical violence is their single most hated commodity.

The Pluto in Virgo Generation

The Pluto in Virgo generation is the largest population humankind has ever known.

The reason for this is post-World War II, there was a strong belief to have children due to the manufacturing prosperity the American victory brought.

You will notice that in every country on planet Earth, Pluto in Virgo tends to dominate and control society financially, which is the important part.

The Ascendant Signs of a Few Well-Known Celebrities

The Ascendant of Jim Morrison was Aquarius.

This perhaps made him a bit cold, possibly not austere. He did “architect” a rather “translucent” image of himself. His poetry and writings could be called “ironic” in nature.

The Ascendant of Cher is Cancer. She implies a somewhat unemotional “stance.” But she is very aware of the horrors of basic everyday ordinary human tragedy.

Mariah Carey has Ascendant in Taurus. She is inherently “uncombative.”

Donald Trump has Ascendant, Leo. People presume this makes him a bit “hard,” even the color “orange.” But what it really does seems to be rooted in a square, perhaps.

Trent Reznor has Ascendant Capricorn. This makes him appear terse but with a mixed air of impartiality.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
