Lead Editor — Soulmate Astrology
Luna Mercer
Luna Mercer leads editorial at Amora, covering birth chart compatibility, synastry, and the broader landscape of soulmate astrology. Her work threads classical chart technique through contemporary relationship language — what it actually means when your Venus sits opposite a partner's Mars, how composite charts shift the story, when a "soulmate" connection signals growth versus repetition. She draws on primary technique sources from the traditional and modern evolutionary lineages (Robert Hand, Liz Greene, Steven Forrest) and is upfront about where astrological interpretation ends and projection begins.
Luna Mercer is an editorial pen name for Amora's soulmate-astrology desk. Articles published under this name are written and reviewed by Amora's editorial team.
