About

Welcome to the bittersweet world of Mercury.

Hey there, I’m Elsa —writer, astrology enthusiast, and (occasional) Mercury retrograde survivor, living in Berlin, Germany.

Astrology has always fascinated me, especially how the planets shape our lives in ways big and small. And Mercury? Oh, we have a complicated relationship. As a Virgo stellium with Mercury as my ruling planet, I’ve spent years watching this mischievous little planet throw curveballs my way—sometimes enlightening, often frustrating, but never boring.

I never planned to start a blog (classic Mercury indecision?), but after one too many retrograde mishaps, I realized: Why not share what I’ve learned? So here we are. This space is where I break down Mercury retrograde—what it really means, how to spot its chaos early, and most importantly, how to glide through it with (some) grace.

Because let’s be honest: Mercury doesn’t play fair. Whether it’s going retrograde or just being its erratic self (it’s a lower octave of Uranus), knowing its tricks can save you a headache—or three. So if you’ve ever felt like Mercury had a personal vendetta against you, you’re in the right place.

Mercury may be my main muse, but my astro-obsessions don’t stop there.

I’m endlessly fascinated by fixed stars—those celestial power players—and primary directions, which feel like astrology’s best-kept secret. (Spoiler: We’ll definitely dive into those here.)

And because the cosmos loves a good crossover, I also geek out over spirituality, numerology, and the uncanny ways the universe whispers to us. Consider this blog your all-access pass to the stars—no topic too niche, no synchronicity too strange.

Stick around for tips, insights, and maybe a little cosmic solidarity. And if you’ve got a burning question? Drop me a line here—I’d love to hear from you.
