All the Mutable and Mercurial energy makes me think it’s a good time to reboot this. Maybe we can get some interesting, varied posts going. I am defintily ready to write!
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 want to challenge myself, but I also want to challenge you. We have many interesting discussions around here, I’d like to get more of this going.
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 and brevity. You’ll be anonymous, though you can identify yourself in the comments of your question if you like. Please use email! [email protected]
It’s also nice if you include your location. City, state, country, whatever. Culture is important. This adds interest to these posts.
That’s it – lets have some fun with this! [email protected]
Elsa,
The new site is fabulous. Great Job! Everything is here, just like before, but it is fresh and clean.

1. Great site!!!
2. What is your take on the astrology of freak accidents? What planets are active and/or have adverse to trigger the freak accident?
Great question, thinking outside the obvious, textbook answer. I will mull this.
Here you go. 🙂

Super shallow topic, but I just read an article on how millennials in their 30/40s look younger than the next generation (because of fillers, heavy makeup etc). So – I hear venus rules personal beauty but what about beauty standards at a given time? Thinking about the difference of growing up with 90s supermodels vs with social media filters.
Interesting. I’ll take a stab at this. Here you go:

Elsa, I couldnt get the submit form to work on email.
Im not bashful though. Ill post it here.
Dear Elsa,, tough question challenge accepted ! I wanted to ask what a world ending Apocalypse would look like in astrology. Say the Mayan and Biblical and religious prophecies came true and there was a pole shift or Nibiru, flood,, something huge that destroyed most of the earth and population, wouldnt it be a astrological transit? What would be the harshest transit and configuration in the stars?
Sincerely
Sonja
Sonja, I’m sorry but I have no idea. Hopefully, someone who does, will see this.
Hi Elsa! I had trouble with the form submitting as well.
My question is about the 22nd degree. The “Kill or Be Killed” degree. I saw a post on reddit about this, did some digging and it does seem that the 22nd degree often shows up in charts of murderous or murdered people, as well as event charts. What’s your take? The 18th degree has a reputation as well from what I have seen.
I don’t buy this at all, I’m sorry. I think it’s random as you can find many non-murder 22 degree people and many murder non-22 people.
Same with the 18th.
Life is not that simple. This is the kind of thing that gets new parents, with a baby, 22 degrees, whatever, worried out of their mind, for no cause.
Hi Elsa,
Here a question from The Netherlands, Europe. I would like to know which computer program do you use? Is it something that has been tailor-made for you?
I use Kepler, but this is because I have been using it since it was a DOS program in the early 90’s. I have A LOT of data.
I do not have a custom program, but all of these programs are customizable. Unless it’s changed, Solar Fire, is the program that has dominated the market in the last twenty years.
I am taking an advanced astrology class. My teacher, a long-time astrologer, owns Kepler, Solar Fire, Pegasus, Win Star, SIRIUS and others. Recommends SIRIUS to students. Says that Solar Fire, a very popular program good for all levels, used to be the program that dominated the market but SIRIUS is now the leader and making the most consistent advances over the past few years. SIRIUS does everything that Pegasus and Kepler does plus a whole lot more.
Thank you for your answer, Mercurial One!

What is your opinion on a tight Uranus / Moon conjunction?
https://elsaelsa.com/astrology/whats-a-moon-uranus-conjunction-person-like/
Thank you for your answer, ElsaElsa. I have Solar Fire. Just have to look into it more, I guess.
Hi Elsa,
The request wouldn’t submit so I’m asking here. Just wondering if you know much or have experienced transit Pluto conjunct natal Mars. I have this now and wonder if I should be worried? From Canberra Australia. Thank you Ruth

COMMENT FORM IS FIXED. Thank you!

Oh yeah! How could I forget that. THANK YOU. Beehive hairdos!
Elsa I find you so clever as to be so on the pluse of things. Is this all astrology knowledge coming through or more? It seems you are on the pulse of society. I feel you may be tapping into the UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS we all share. This Unity Community that you have built, Congratulations. The world needs this. You’ve found a way to share your gifts from God for the betterment of humanity/society. Thank you for this contribution. Lovin it, Jeni– Ohio
Thank you! I have always liked to think! I have also always been pretty observant and I’ve always liked to help. On top of that, I’ve also always liked interaction and I’ve always liked to push the edge and I’ve always liked to have fun and learn from others.
This site is a bartender’s site. And beginning when I was, 20 years old, I used to have an open forum in my (day) bar, after lunch and before happy hour. One of the customer’s would give me a topic, or a prompt, or even one word. I would take off with it, telling jokes and stories, or starting some kind of conversation or entertaining debate. I did this every day. It was popular and a fun challenge for me. Interactive storytelling, which is how my book written. I would tell some story bit, someone asked a question, I would answer it, adding to the story.
This was back before people on the internet became so vicious. We were all just so happy to meet and greet and chat with each other. I think people could easily go back to this, but they’re too stubborn, and maybe some other things that go along with that..
You are inspiring and thanks for sharing.
What are your thoughts on mental illness vs astrology?
a lot of astrological personal traits can be interpreted as mental illness or a psychological problem
cancers: anxious attachement
uranus: avoidant attachement
pluto: obsession
virgo: OCD
gemini: adhd
so in your opinion which one is it?
I personally found my self to deviate more towards astrology because it doesn’t give the sense of doom that psychology offers, what are your thoughts on this?

Sorry, I’m slow!
Is it too late to ask a question? I know it takes all kinds, but I am wondering what factors in the chart can make someone simply unsuitable for marriage/partnering in the sense most think of it.

Here you go!
Wow, thank you!
How would you see a square between Mercury in Pisces and Jupiter in Gemini – both in detriment and yet in mutual reception expressed in person’s chart?
Open channel!
Pluto conjunct a personal planet….people in your own generation hit you below the belt somehow, right? What is the upside/ opportunity/purpose?
I have a question. Is there a way to use astrology to see which parts of me, my chart, a specific person may likely be blind to, at least at first little while?
Yes. There are several posts in this topic. Here’s one of them:

Try the site search. 🙂
I’ve read around your blog and I think i understand my venus in pisces issues, I can look back and say yup, pining, fantasy, etc.
I want to know how to turn it? Free will..sure. I’m not sure I get it. Do I channel it, let’s say artistically? That sort of worked once. Saturn is transiting conjunct my venus so I want to work on this!
A review of your great advice on dealing with oppositions. Everybody has them if they have a moon and the nodes at the least….
Question here: what transits or natal placements would indicate a susceptibility to brainwashing? As in, being in the receiving end of it? Whether by cults themselves or by other means, such as media, social media, trends, influencers, etc?
When a retrograde planet turns direct on a natal chart, is it in a void of a sort? A twisty? A category of it’s own? Lucky? I’m asking because my Dad has Venus in the eighth that went direct on his birthday. Yesterday, he couldn’t eat, weak pulse and told my mom he thinks hospice is next. This morning, a priest came to his room with Holy Water from Lourdes, France. He was given communion, bounced up, was transferred to a recovery facility and ate a 3 course meal. Something miraculous just happened. 60 minutes on the Sancuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaG7mesmdH4
Astro cartography!
What’s living on ones Venus line about?
I’m interested in your thoughts on casting & interpreting a deceased person’s chart for the day they died. Do you think that chart’s transits tell anything particular about the events & their feelings, or is it the progressed chart, the midpoints, or any combo or technique that you find accurate? Can you tell me anything more about discovering answers through astrology after a loved one dies?
Can you talk about grand trines? Are these gifts or weights that pull us down, or in. What if nodes are involved? I’m a treasure hunter, of all formats. I’m digging for gold here. Looking for the good stuff. And how do the elements figure in – water air earth fire etc. Thanks doll!
