seafoam readings

do you have an insight or perhaps advice for a 10H Taurus moon at the 18th degree? I find that succeeding in the business world can be difficult with this placement due to the “emotions on your sleeve” component.

Thank you and be well.

it definitely can! for business look more at your 6th house - the things you do every day. there may be some hidden strength there. you can also look at your 7th and 8th houses if you have business partners or share resources with people at work.

try to let your 10th house be more about a lasting legacy - which of course is not inherently connected to the career, although it can be. let this be what really matters to you, and don't worry about if others are concerned with your emotional nature.

Thank you!

hello! it depends kind of a lot on what you mean by out of the woods! i would say, honestly, due to the outer planet sign changes, not for a solid six months or more. things are going to be nuts for a WHILE. and even once those planets are done changing sign around halfway through 2026 they will want some time to settle in.

on a more personal level some stuff is about to calm down in like a week or two as stuff shifts from capricorn into aquarius. it will be less nose to the grindstone and more head in the clouds.

varies hugely for me honestly since so much of my reading is more intuitive and less formulaic BUT usually not more than 5 or so on either side. possible exceptions for big huge vibes, in this case uranus is in domicile and jupiter is always big, so maybe you can feel the conjunction even 10 degrees out! especially if you're like, an aquarius or sagittarius rising. i'm simply not prescriptive about it but i have noticed that the most noticeable vibes are always in the tighter orbs with just these small exceptions for rulerships & such.

also the faster it moves (personal planets, the moon) the less i am likely to stick to a tiny orb. pluto hardly moves, or something like eris even less, so they get very tiny orbs most of the time.

the less influential it is (eg an asteroid like eros compared to the native's ruling planet) it gets a smaller/tighter orb.

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: neptune in your sign is squared by your ruling planet mars who is currently in his fall in cancer. try not to take many actions at this time especially if you feel impulsive about them. you're going to change your mind about a lot later on.

taurus: sometimes you'll hear people complain about venus opposite saturn, as though saturn can crumble away all of venus's splendor. it cannot. especially now, with saturn in fall! but in reality this opposition is good for you if you want to do anti-aging of some kind, or appear particularly elegant/timeless. it can give stability in romantic affairs too.

gemini: you'll seldom find a better opportunity to work on your finances. save if you need to save, invest if you can, apply for jobs, and so on. bonus points if you extend this to resources and values broadly, not only money.

cancerians: this week involves tension and chafing. maybe it's eclipse-things being ironed out, or perhaps it's unrelated, but it is uncomfortable enough to encourage growth without being devastating.

leo: it's a quieter week than last but eclipse season isn't over yet. on the bright side the start of virgo season heralds a period where you can build up any kind of resources you need (or want, if your needs are already covered!)

virgo: this weekend brings virgo season! weather this last week of leo season with special care around psychological and mental health matters. solitude is ok, complete isolation not really so good.

libra: eclipse residue or no, the venus-saturn opposition this week is significant for you. venus is in your sign, which she rules, and saturn is exalted when he is in your sign, but is currently in his fall in aries! this is an overwhelming energy for many but you'll be quite at home in the mirroring that appears and the need for balance.

scorpio: the moon enters your sign right away for a brief stay, but overall and especially at the end of this week there is very little going on that involves you. so if someone tries to pull you in to their own drama, remember it's not your circus.

sagittarius: the start of virgo season puts your reputation in the spotlight. there are certainly ways to use that to your benefit, but let the lunar eclipse in a couple weeks do it's thing before you start trying to exert your will in that area of your life.

capricorn: your ruling planet is in an almost compromised sort of position this week as he is opposed by a very strong venus. this is not necessarily bad for you, but it is not necessarily comfortable either. try to accept compliments and praise instead of brushing them off.

aquarius: lay low this week if you can and spend time recuperating from that eclipse last week. if you need to be out and about and up and at 'em, that's fine too; there is not a ton of support this week but also nothing really coming after you.

pisces: you can consider the mars-neptune square to be in action all week. be very, very careful in romantic affairs, especially the kinds that are flings or one night stands or not that serious or first dates...! you don't have to call them off altogether (i personally would but you don't have to) but there is an air of both psychological manipulation and physical risk to yourself or things you value.

watch the transit posts in real time to have the best guide through your week. want a little more? have a look at my patreon or ko-fi.

people often look to the seventh house for questions of love. it does contain some information about it, but one of my little hot takes is that the fifth house is better for romantic questions.

in ye olden times, marriage was not really very much about love at all. in fact, marriage for love is a fairly new concept compared with the span of the history of marriage. and for that matter, if we are honest with ourselves, we probably still know many people who are in marriages more for convenience, expectation, or simple survival rather than because of true love.

for this reason i do not really consider the 7th house a love house. i include it in love/synastry readings because of the associations with venus, libra, and commitments, but i never leave out the 5th house if it is a question involving romance.

the 5th is more creative, fun, playful, and romantic. it's solar by its affiliation with leo, so it encompasses art... including the art of seduction! it's also got a less traditional distinctly venusian tone.

meanwhile the 7th house encompasses partnerships, interactions with others where they serve as your mirror. so this does certainly include marriage! but this is also where we find our best friends, our business partners, and some of our enemies. indeed, certain lovers may not even appear here, if we never share a commitment with them.
