Doesn’t sound like a bad idea! Though from what I’ve read about triple returns (I’m in phase 2 of a triple Juno return right now, for example), the first phase is like a test, the second phase is a review - and third phase is the return proper. So if you have any editing or content suggestions to take on board, probably the second phase would be ideal for that.
Be still, my beating heart!
(Not sure about the history this thread, I guess was maybe forked from the London one and seems rather not much about mundane astrology, at least not immediately, so replying in that sense...)
What I know and seems to work quite usually is that a return has an effect on the time span until the next return. But would immediately appear to make sense that the retrograde period could be more about "review". At the beginning of spring 2017 I started to write a book about astrology in German (*Elementare Sternzeichen" - "Elementary Star Signs", actually quite a bad choice, a better description would be "The 12 Signs of the Western Tropical Zodiac described as Transformations between the Four Classical Elements Fire, Air, Water and Earth - And no, this not a beginner's book (at least not only) and it is not only about "Sun Sign Astrology"). A bit later (30 March) was the first of 3 Chiron returns of my first return cycle, in the second house. I wrote the book during spring and a bit into early summer maybe, and then did not change anything to it any more except tiniest changes (like typos). The second return was 11 Oct, in the 8th house, I did not do much special that I would remember now. In late January 2018, close to the 3rd return of 28 Jan, in the 12th house, I published the book. It sold about 50 copies so far (I guess one last year, none this year), in March 2018 I very quickly translated it to English and published it, it sold about 23 copies, all despite some ads in astrological journals and about 6 reviews, of which two quite sophisticated and favorable ones (one in English by Victor Olliver in the (British) Astrological Journal, one by Jutta Stemmer in (German) Meridian).
My hope with Saturn in 10 would have been to have at least maybe some kind of echo in the far future from that even though I might never know... Leonardo da Vinci was not nearly as famous in his time as he is now, I guess was seen as some great artist who could do great art (paintings or also that infamous statue with horses that no longer exists) and organize fancy festivities with lots of "special effects", but also a strange (gay?) guy with strange drawings about military "machines" and even flying ones, and so on, nobody could take such things "seriously" in those times...
"Be still, my beating heart!" reminds me of Samuel Beckett's "Murphy" where there is at the beginning an (Indian?) guru or sage who could stop his heart for a minute or so... Beckett I think had the s.node in Aquarius("machines") and the n.node in Leo("heart"), weird thing the literal heart, stands astrologically rather not for a stereotypical machine that just repeately pumps blood...
