關於2012年運書推遲的聲明
BySusanMiller
一整年來，我都在努力傾聽你們在Twitter和Facebook上提出的所有問題。我懂得，你們是有多勇敢，才能應對糟糕的世界經濟形勢所帶來的挑戰；你們是有多希望知道，生活中的哪些方面可以實現最大的進步、帶來最大的幸福。
我已經基本完成了年運的草稿，但是考慮到你們所說的話，我認為自己應該再多寫一點。你們提出的問題，在我社交網站上的留言，一直回繞在我的腦海中。所以，11月份，我突然向我的團隊宣佈，我要為這本書擴容。我增加了章節，而且每個星座的運勢長度都在已寫好的基礎上翻了一倍，幾乎是每月月運長度的四倍。只有你有資格評判我所做的一切，但我認為這本仍在創作的書，是我寫過的最好的一本。如果我無需每個月寫就40000字的12星座月運，那麼年運的進展會順利些，但我堅持了月運的寫作。
我正在創作的這本書，在這一年的每一天都能夠幫助你。我問我自己，在可以鞭策自己寫出偉大作品的時候，豈能滿足於只寫一本“好”書呢？現在你知道了，我是個完美主義者，這本書是我最好的作品。雖然尚未完成，但我每天都日以繼夜。這將是一本縈繞著快樂和幸福的書，對你來說意義非凡。雖然尚未完成，但我知道十萬火急。我正竭盡全力。
現在市面上有假冒我名號出版的書籍，很多讀者都留言說買錯了書。你們說，讀起來真的不像我寫的，所以才發現。
與此同時，你也可以訂購已經完成的2012年星座日曆。我精心標注了每一個重要的日子，且用淺顯易懂的語言進行瞭解讀。我並沒有在日曆裡使用占星術語甚至象形文字，每件事都用門外漢也可以輕鬆看懂的語言描述。我知道你只是希望知道將要發生什麼，以及如何進行計畫！
另外，我將在費城（1月21日）、紐約（2月4日）和洛杉磯（2月11日）進行全天的講座，你可以記一下這些行程日期。大多數人都表示我的講座非常有用。
為了寫作年運和星座日曆，為了準備講座，我熟記了312種星盤（13個朔望月，12個星座，每月兩次月相：滿月和新月）2011年4月起，我就開始準備了。我之所以要記住所有這些相位，是因為有時候在天空中某一部分發生的現象，會與其他部分發生的現象相呼應，形成我們所說的“星象”——沒有一個星象是單獨發生的。比如說，4月6日理應是去年最幸運的一天（太陽、木星合相），但同樣是在那一天，土星對沖太陽，幾乎完全沖走了這“最幸運一天”的美好。我甚至都沒有在去年的書裡提及這茬事兒，為什麼呢？你看到了，我必須對所有的星象保持相當的警覺，你們對我的信任，敦促我做好充分的功課。
可能很多人都知道，2011年的夏天，我的母親遭受了肺炎的折磨並接受重病特別護理，隨後又住進療養院進行為期四周的物理治療。我和妹妹每天都陪伴在她身邊，向她表達我們的愛與關心，幫她重新恢復健康。當她能夠進食的時候，我們就親手下廚做菜。現在我媽媽已經恢復了健康，回到了家中。那些本打斷放棄治療的醫生，仍震驚于這次非凡的康復。
我並不後悔花掉陪伴母親康復的每一分鐘，儘管這確實佔據了我寫作的時間。她並不是什麼重要人物，卻是我和妹妹依賴的人——我和妹妹齊心協力幫助母親康復。回首2011年，那些節日時光尤為打動人心，因為當她的四個孫兒圍繞在身邊，給她帶來愛、禮物和親吻，我們看到了她藍色的雙眼閃爍出欣悅的光芒。
請原諒我，2012年的年運推遲了。
我只是覺得，將來有一天，可能沒有人知道我是在何種情況下進行的2012年運寫作。人貴自立，我的書也是如此，所以我一定要把最好的作品奉獻給你，尤其是在這樣一個人人都感到艱難的時代。因此，我帶著發自內心的愛與感恩，寫出這封聲明。並真誠地祝您新年快樂。
Why My Book Is Late
By Susan Miller
All year I was listening hard to all that you asked me on Twitter and Facebook. I realized how valiantly you were all coping with the challenges that a difficult world economy had wrought, and how dearly you needed to know which areas of your life would be bring you the greatest progress and happiness.
I had a manuscript almost ready, but thinking about your words, I felt I had to add much more material to it. What you asked me and what you said on my social networking pages kept echoing in my mind. So in November, I announced to my team I was lengthening the book dramatically. I was adding chapters and doubling each sign's chapter from what I had already written, which are now almost four times as long as my regular Astrology Zone forecasts. Only you can be the judge of what I have done, but I feel this book, still in progress, is the best book I have ever written. It would be easier if I didn't have to stop to write 40,000 words for Astrology Zone each month, but of course, I would always do that!
I set out to create a book that would help you every day of the year. Why, I asked myself, write a good book when I could stretch and push myself to create a great one for you. By now you know I am a perfectionist. My revamped book is the very best I have ever done. It is not finished yet, but I am working every day around the clock on it. It will be wrapped in joy and happiness and it will be of value to you. I have no idea when it will be done, but I know there is great urgency. I am working every minute on it.
There are authors of books out there that pretend to be my book and many of you have written to say you bought their book in error. You only noticed when, you said, it didn't sound like me.
In the meantime, please order my calendar, The Year Ahead 2012, which is ready. I carefully wrote in each important day, and all the explanations are in easy-to-understand English. I do not use glyphs or astrological language in my calendar; everything is explained in a crystal clear way for a layman. I know you just want to know what is coming and how to plan for it!
Also, I will be presenting all-day talks in Philadelphia (January 21), New York City (February 4), and Los Angeles (February 11). Please scroll above to see the information about those events. Most people find them very helpful!
To create my book and calendar, and to prepare for my talks, I memorized 312 charts (13 lunar months times 12 signs, times two lunations each month: a new moon and a full moon). I started this in April. I memorize all the aspects because sometimes something happening in one part of the sky will influence an aspect happening in another part of the sky - no aspect can be taken alone, by itself. For example, last year, on what was to be the luckiest day of the year, April 6 (Jupiter conjunct the Sun), we also had Saturn opposed to the Sun on the same day, completely washing out the happiness of the luckiest day of the year. I didn't even discuss it in my book - how could I? You see how I have to be vigilant to all parts of the sky for you - you are depending on me to do my homework thoroughly.
Many of you know my mother was extremely ill with pneumonia this summer and in intensive care and then in a nursing home for physical therapy for four weeks. My sister and I were at her side every day to help bring her back to her former strong health by showing her love and attentiveness to all her medical matters, and when she could eat, we brought homemade meals. Little Mom is well now. She is home, and doctors, who were ready to give up on her, cannot get over the remarkable recovery she has made.
I don't regret one minute the time I gave her to get her well again, even though it did take time away from my writing. She has no one but my sister and I to depend upon - together we worked as a team to get Little Mom well. This year the holidays were especially poignant, as we watched her blue eyes sparkle with delight in being with her four grandchildren, who had gathered around her at home to give her love, presents, and kisses.
Please forgive me for being late.
I feel that someday no one will know the conditions under which I wrote my book. My book has to stand on its own, and that's why I need to write the very best book I can for you, especially when just about everyone is feeling the difficulties of the times. I send you this note with great love and gratitude, and sincere wishes for a very Happy New Year.
