A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: THE MAGICIAN

A new month, a clean slate, and Venus moving into Taurus helps us all to feel grounded, present, and in our own reality in each moment. That said, we remain in Gemini season, a strong phase of the mind’s powers and scope, so this is a week to align your mind, body, and spirit. The Magician is inventive, creative, and artistic, and invites you to ground your whole being around your greatest strength. What is it? Humor, intellect, wisdom, kindness, courage, imagination, ambition, resilience? Find it and feel that power thrumming through your physical body, your mind, and your heartspace, your soul, your aura. Be at one with who and what you are. Feel the sensation of your strength and power. Anything is possible when you vibrate at this level!

ARIES: TEN OF PENTACLES

Ambition, legacy, future stability, and security. This is what is on your mind this week with the foundation-building Ten of Pentacles. You want rewards for your efforts, you want payback on your investments, you want to feel sure of the trajectory you’re on via the things you’re doing. This card is a great omen that you’re on the right path and your long-term plans are correct. Keep going, work harder, do what you’d do if you KNEW you couldn’t fail. Consider the important areas of work, wealth, home, and health. These are the areas to invest more in, and reap greater rewards as a result.

TAURUS: THE MOON

You’re usually so sure of yourself, but this week you’re asking questions and feeling like you don’t know the answers. Don’t panic, don’t spiral, don’t feel confused. It’s simply a case of not having enough information, so make this a week of research and validation. Be a detective, collect evidence and new intel, then sit—after all the card is The Moon which is intuitive and psychic—and let your sub conscious chew over the new news. You will come to some startling and powerful new realizations, and they will change your next steps. So, don’t skip this. Do your homework and think carefully.

GEMINI: ACE OF CUPS

A new relationship is going to blossom in your realm this week! The Ace of Cups brings romance, friendship, creativity, inspiration, and optimism. Whatever starts now will be successful and perhaps a forever-after presence in your life! Look out for Water signs (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio). Look out for immediate chemistry and attraction, for the sensation of falling in love. Look out for bright ideas, inspiring inventions, new options and possibilities. This is a week to say, and believe in, the idea of "what if." Something new and amazing is coming your way.

CANCER: SIX OF PENTACLES

Give to receive, what goes around comes around, no good deed goes unnoticed (or unrewarded). The Six of Pentacles promises good karma will come to you if you’re good to others, and actually what a nice principle to live your life by. Of course, it’s not an immediate or equivalent energy. What you emit will go all around the houses and return to you in a different guise, from a different angle, but overall the books will balance. So, build up your good karma points this week by doing good for others.

LEO: TWO OF PENTACLES

Leo, you have more energy and a strong life force and vitality than almost any other sign. You love being active and abundant and maybe even a little overrun or overwhelmed. You operate best at a high and rapidly vibrating level of energy! The Two of Pentacles brings you plenty of action this week and invites you to say YES to everything that comes your way. Don’t worry about how you’ll manage it all, because you will find a way. The more you do, right now, the more you’ll discover you CAN do. Prove your power. Be busy.

VIRGO: KNIGHT OF CUPS

Time for a little social whirl, Virgo, time to let your hair down, time to enjoy the good life. And why not? You work so very, very hard, and you need to step back from the front line sometimes and just let loose and play. The Knight of Cups brings you invitations, good friends, new romance, flirtation, social opportunities, and new ideas and energies this week. Notice the flow and step into it. Be conscious of other folk and what they’re offering to you, even if it’s unsaid. Tune into body language. Follow the secret signs and omens. They are leading you to bliss, pleasure, and a state of feeling totally at peace. Enjoy it!

LIBRA: QUEEN OF WANDS

Ready to step up and take a risk? Fortune favors the bold, Libra, and you are going to push aside your analytical, considered mindset this week and do something spontaneous, brave, and intuitive. Something that feels exciting, empowering, or just right. Others may disapprove, but you don’t care because you’re the Queen of Wands this week and she is the epitome of bold, dashing, purposeful, ambitious, daring, and successful energy. She is walking with you and helping you make this leap of faith!

SCORPIO: TEN OF CUPS

What does happy ever after mean to you? What do you envision? Who is there and what are y’all doing?

I ask because the Ten of Cups is like getting a free pass to this state of affairs. It hints that whatever you focus on this week is the right pathway to your happy ever after. So, it helps to know what that is. And then you can focus on the right people, places, and activities, and investments, and make that joyful conclusion come along all the sooner.
It can also be a massive omen for intense romance and passion. Look out for fellow Water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) who you could fall in love with!

SAGITTARIUS: FIVE OF CUPS

Jupiter is your ruling planet and always keeps your mood and vibration high and clean! You sail through life like a lucky star, always landing on your feet and receiving plenty of luck and good fortune. But you’re human too, and sadness is a part of the human experience. So experience it this week. An echo of an old wound will surface—maybe grief or loss, maybe regret or doubt. Let it surface, don’t squash it or ignore it. Let it rise, be described and welcomed, and then released. Emotions are passing, fleeting, transient. They only get ‘sticky’ when you suppress them so let this one emerge and then fade. The Five of Cups shows this is a healing and cleansing process that will serve your higher good.

CAPRICORN: SEVEN OF CUPS

Even the best laid plans are actually—at heart, at source, at origin—made up. We are all making it up as we go along, even if that’s well informed, researched, signed off on, and effective. So, accept that and make some new stuff up, Cap! You have a deeper, broader imagination than you let on and it can serve you well. All ideas start in the imagination, so nurture some early-door daydreams, fantasies, and visions. What do you wish for? What makes you feel motivated? What is your dream? Everything is possible. If anyone can, YOU can!

AQUARIUS: NINE OF CUPS

The Nine of Cups is inviting you to make a wish! What have you been hoping would happen? Invest in this optimistic hope. Believe in it. Visualize it actually happening to you. Live the mood, feel the feelings, then take overt baby steps in its direction. Somehow events will conspire to make this fragile hope a reality this week, the path will form before you, the steps will become feasible and obvious, and you will be on your way to making a dream come true. It starts here. Believe.

PISCES: THE DEVIL

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Wait

People might not associate kind, loving Pisces with The Devil but I know you have a sexual, provocative, naughty side that loves to test boundaries and experience anything you can! Pisces are soulful, and that means ALL parts of the soul, even the dangerous or scary. The Devil takes you on a wild ride to these places this week! Make sure you know the price of entry and are prepared to take responsibility for whatever it is that you’re up to. And then get on and experience it. Life is for living. And not always wholesomely. Be a little wicked.
