I’m hoping to write this weekend, heavily. I want to, but the stationing planets in Pisces blur out my ideas on the regular. Then there’s the real/imagined rejection! I’m just not sure right now, if anyone is interested in what I’m interested in, even the least little bit! It’s odd, because I know people like to read here, but about what, eludes me right now.
Sooo… got questions? I invite you to send questions on any topic.
Astrology questions, philosophical questions, questions about personal problems, curiosities…whatever you’ve got, that you feel is a curiosity that would fit the blog. I love to challenge myself, but I also want to challenge you. We have many interesting discussions around here. I can never get enough of it!
It’s best if you keep your question concise. Just think of it showing up on the blog. You want people to read it and be immediately engaged in this thing you’re passionate or curious about.
I’ll try to answer any and all questions, if I can make them work for the blog. I also may edit what you submit, for clarity. You’ll be anonymous, though you can identify yourself in the comments of your question if you like. Please use email! [email protected]
Please include your location. City, state, country, whatever. Culture is important. This adds interest to these posts.
How to overcome deep self unworthiness?

I’ve been interested in the idea that one can travel on one’s birthday to get a better Solar Return chart for the coming year.
Do you think this is possible? How many days does one have spend int new location if trying it?
I can’t say one way or the other, with true confidence. I am skeptical, but many believe this.

Can astrology determine your food tastes? Do certain planets steer you towards their flavor element–e.g. Mars (hot, fiery) reveal a preference for say, Indian curry?
I have thought of this, same as you. I’m Mars-y and I like hot foods. But then I realized, people have their culture. I don’t know that I’ve ever met anyone, born into a spicy food culture, who does not like spicy food!
While this destroys the theory, it’s still possible a strong Mars might incline a person from the land of bland food, might enjoy spicy food.
A strong Jupiter might incline a person to like foods that are foreign to them, in general.
How to prepare for mars in retrograde? What is something positive and constructive to do during that time?
I would like to know more about quincunxes. They are considered, according to at least popular astrology, to be a ‘minor’ aspect, but in my own chart (which has many) confronting them has been the greatest path of growth for me, much more than oppositions or squares. so much more.
In synastry, they seem to be similar, I have never had a relationship without them, for better or worse. These can’t be random challenges with everything else that goes on in a chart; how do we transcend them? Hoe do we become our best selves through these intrinsic challenges, that may even at times not make us the best of people before we understand?
Satori covered them here: https://elsaelsa.com/astrology/quincunx-aspect-interpretation/
Hi. Does Mars in the 8 th House ( Leo) make the native a sexual predator per se or are other factors necessary to determine this ? What I mean is does a Stellium in Libra ( in the 10th House ) negate this ?

Can outer planet transits be good? I mean, can the death and rebirth and destruction associated with pluto feel right as it’s happening, not just in retrospect? example, pluto will conjunct my sun and trine moon, and uranus will conjunct moon, in couple of years but I might start feeling it next year I think.
Also, thank you for all the supportive anti fear posts on saturn in pisces.

How to overcome extreme perfectionism to the point of paralysis? Connectedly, how do I stop being afraid/shy of sharing my art/work with the world when it feels like that is meant to be my true path? Thank you Elsa <3
Hi, Bloom. There is not a universal answer to this. Sorry. You’d want to get at the reason why you feel you have to be perfect. That’s the place to start. Good luck!
Your response in itself reveals the the core answer for me, thank you 🙏
I’m glad!
Need to frame your response as a reminder that “perfection” is an illusion…
This was seriously helpful 💝
How would transit Neptune entering the 3rd house manifest as?
I have this coming up in 2025, along with Saturn entering shortly after.
Confuses communications. Misunderstandings with siblings or neighbors. Also, inspired ideas… maybe some channeling. Also avoidance of 3rd house things. Can also manifest as mental anxiety. I feel Neptune mashed with Mercury is often a challenge, except for days when ideas flow.
How might the Jupiter (Rx) opposite Mercury manifest November 19 (eastern?), the day before Pluto goes into Aquarius? I believe they are in mutual reception, which I find immensely interesting. And how could one apply it to the natal houses of our charts?
I have not been able to find any internet info on this…
Hi Elsa. Thank you for your kind offer. I live in Murcia, south east Spain. aged 52. My question is.
Pluto in capricorn will square my natal Sun and ascendant in 23 Scorpio for 20 years. My experience tells me that Pluto transits both energize and put and end to a life phase. Pluto in Sagitarius was for me an incredible time, for freedom, adventure, danger and excitement but also it marked an end to that in 2008. Pluto in Capricorn was me out of the system as I could feel the system was tumbling down. Interestling, I am coming back to society right now in 2024, as that system is over. As a final note, my Pluto is exiled in the first Libra decanate and my Mars exiled in Libra too but in the last decanate, almost in Scorpio. Does it make any sense? Cheers.
I have a question about retrograde planets. I know it’s a big deal in Astrology because we actually feel it. But in Astronomy retrograde planets are considered an illusion. So it’s really not acknowledged. What’s the deal with this? Maybe I haven’t done enough research on this but trying to convince an astronomer that retrograde is a real thing is not easy. Any comments would be appreciated
im personally strugling with transfering my readings to equal houses. equal doesnt match my life at all. maybe pros/cons or nuance of placidus vs equal. or how to decide which?
I would like to know, in your long history of working in this new age adjacent field. When advice and such has translated to people healing physical maladies. Since you mentioned that you intend to work on yourself in that regard as well?
