Sidereal Maven

Dear Reader,

Hello and welcome to the first of your weekly love letters! Today's reading is for the week starting Monday, May 25, 2026 and is relevant until the following Sunday.

With the Ten of Swords & King of Pentacles defining our week ahead, this is a time when we are reflecting on our material wealth and success. We are concerned with our security and ability to enjoy the fine things in life. We want to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Unfortunately, the 10 here does denote a feeling of failure, burn out and self-destructive perfectionism. You might have recently suffered a significant loss and be looking for ways to turn your fortune around. Perhaps you've been pushing yourself too hard lately and it's got you feeling out of sorts. Alternatively, you may still be feeling wounded over a previous loss and feel as if no matter what you do now, the work you are putting in just isn't quite cutting it!

A good question for yourself this week is: What defines Success? Is it the number in your bank account? The praise of a boss or mentor? Acceptance to a certain company or school? If you've been basing your idea of success on someone else's belief system, that may be why you feel like nothing you do is ever good enough. If you expect your path to mirror someone else's, this may be why you never feel truly satisfied with your progress.

Instead, try comparing where you are right now to where you were a couple of weeks or months ago. How does your progress stack up when the only comparison is your past self? This is the only measurement that truly matters. 💜

11th house is more than just your social networks and friendships. It is also professional alliances, audiences, fans and students. These are the people who want to work with you, learn from you & invest in your work.

2nd House = Your money

5th House = Your father’s money

8th House = Your partner’s money

11th House = Your mother’s money

If the ruler of your 2nd House is in your 8th House, then you may be financially dependent on a partner or they may be dependent on you.

8th House Venus? You may financially provide for your lady, your sister, your daughters.

Who is ready for the Full Moon in Libra this Friday? 🌝✨
