The Questions On This Blog And Various Other Sundries

Behind the scenes at ElsaElsa…

zodiac calendarThis used to be called ElsaElsa - The Advice Blog and it’s morphed over time. With less focus there, the advice feature of this blog has become less prominent and I don’t really want that to happen if it can be avoided.

Based on the email it seems a lot of people assume I am flooded with questions and this has only rarely been the case. I get steady requests for “look at my chart” but I cannot use these questions because they do not fit the format of the blog.

It’s the difference between, “This my chart, this is the chart of my boyfriend, are we going to get married” and “I am having this problem… it’s goes like this, so what should I do or how can I fix it?”

One of those is a request for advice that works out for this blog, the other is something that should be addressed in a private consultation which I charge for.

I wanted to post these guidelines because it’s been awhile. I also want to let people know if they send a request for advice that fits the format, the odds are overwhelming it will be chosen for the blog. Your mail is not one of thousands… it is seen.

Bottom line, the quality of the advice portion of this blog has always been dependent on the questions I receive. In other words, it takes other people’s energy so if you have some lying around, by all means send it.

Beyond that I want to invite people to send questions they would like to see posted on blog as “open questions” where the readers here weigh in. I have no criteria for these questions other than they seem interesting. So if you want an array of opinions about something, you can get them via this blog, anonymously which I think is pretty cool. There are some damned good astrologers that read here and other deep and/or high minded thinkers and I would like to see the open question feature more fully developed.

Thanks.

    oh yeah!! I’m going away to dig around in my 12th House for a question . . . heh, heh :)

    I think that I tend to get shy about asking questions–and I had a couple rejected and I’m still not 100% sure why–something about too complicated astrologically. Also, I figured someone with big, horrible problems will need you more than I do.

    I know! I was so surprised that my question was answered so swiftly a while back! I really thought you had thousands of questions to get to.
    I’ll try to find some objective ones, or some that can help other people as well because most of the time the question marks in my head are simply too “me! me! me!”

    After the last question I asked, I feel so stupid (and rightly so, because I needed a gigantic slap across the face and got it!). Now I feel shyer than I did… but it’s well deserved.
