You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let’s go!
A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: EIGHT OF WANDS
We are heading towards New Moon Eclipse in Virgo this week, which is a purging and cleansing lunar phase, enabling us to identify heavy, negative, or draining habits, influences, connections, and to simply step away from them. One way of doing that is brought to us by the super-busy Eight of Wands: Dilution. Dilute your shadowy areas with joyful, social, uplifting, comforting, and positive, healthy activity. Drown out the haters. Kill the killers with kindness. Flood the frenemies. Overwhelm the habits and urges with new ideas and energies. Get busy this week and flush through what’s not working with plenty of new energy. This will be healing and energizing.
ARIES: TWO OF SWORDS
You’ve acquired a little backlog on your desk, Aries, of unmade decisions that require urgent attention (because you’ve procrastinated about them for so long). These options will wither up and die if you don’t get around to committing to them. Don’t lose out simply because you couldn’t summon the clarity or confidence to step forward. You know what you want. So why hesitate in pursuing it? Cast off all doubts and make your mind up this week. Everything will feel better.
TAURUS: THE HANGED MAN
Limbo is a strange realm. A little eerie, a little like living behind a glass wall, watching the rest of the world but feeling somehow removed from the action. This stasis has affected you for a little while and you’re not sure how to act or what to do. This week will bring an end to it. You need a perspective change. So, go do something or be someplace different. Shake up your routine. Have weird conversations. Step OFF your usual neural highways and the thing you need to do will reveal itself. This was a mental block.
GEMINI: FIVE OF SWORDS
You can fight, argue, force, push back, explain, apologize, compromise, sacrifice, atone—all of that. But sometimes, in the end, and I don’t wanna’ get shouted at for saying this but some folk simply aren’t WORTH it. My mom said this to me this very week (I am a Gemini too) about someone I’ve agonized over for a long time. And she is right. Some people don’t really care one way or the other about you and what feels like intense feeling or action towards you from them is simply carelessness. They don’t care. So, why should you? Gemini, do yourself a massive favor and unhook your busy brain from worrying about the actions of folk who’ve never given a toss about you. Job done.
CANCER: QUEEN OF CUPS
I think the Queen of Cups represents the best of the Cancer personality (and it links to Water Signs, so it fits): nurturing, protective, loving, warm, intuitive, creative, understanding. And this is the person you’re going to be this week and therefore you will enjoy all the magical things a person like that should. The world will reflect your energy. Expect new or blossoming romance, magical ideas and inventive solutions, deep friendship moments, family love and fun, emotionally intelligent dialogue and meditations on life and all its obstacles. Be the Queen of Cups.
LEO: THE MAGICIAN
Leos make great leaders, as shown by your lion symbol. The alpha, the king of the jungle. Confidence, courage, and high energy are the vital ingredients of your sign’s innate ability, but creativity nudges in there too. No one wants to listen to the same old ideas, we all crave a new invention or fresh spin on things. The Magician brings you that bright idea this week, the innovative approach to something that others are invested in. Be visible and bold about sharing it! This might be your key to the door of the inner sanctum you’ve been trying to infiltrate. You belong there!
VIRGO: SEVEN OF PENTACLES
Times are changing and so are you. Although you are not a great fan of transformation (because you work so hard to make things right, so why change it?), you will find your mood and mind shifting as the events and circumstances around you conform to new shapes. It feels right to take a new approach. You want to do this. Don’t resist it, go with the flow, be flexible, let things shift and recalibrate. Notice your feelings and ideas and pay them attention, manifest what feels right in that moment. It’s a more spontaneous mood and attitude, but it works.
LIBRA: FOUR OF CUPS
We all get fed up. We all try very hard to be grateful and humble and we all know others are worse off and we mustn’t complain, but it’s human nature to run out of appreciation and high energy. And that is what has happened recently. It’s okay, Libra, don’t beat yourself up. Think of it as a signal to recharge. Step back from things, rest, relax, potter. Let yourself be still and quiet and something will spark back up. What you don’t see (but the tarot cards do) is that you have hidden gems right under your nose right NOW, you just gotta’ see them. You will.
SCORPIO: THREE OF SWORDS
You are probably the most dangerous star sign to cross because revenge is like child’s play to you, a fun game you know you always win! And someone has (stupidly) wronged you recently. I urge you, Scorpio, to avoid starting a blood feud or indulging in skullduggery to even the scales. The best method of exacting revenge is actually playing the long game and killing them with your success, disdain, and eventually total dismissal. Don’t get in touch. Don’t gossip. Don’t do anything nasty. Rise above. Put them ‘on ice’ and use this anger as fuel to make something amazing happen for yourself. You are so so powerful. Don’t waste your time on idiots. Rise above, climb above, get to a higher vantage ground where you can see your options and create a long-term path to prosperity. You are worth far more than engaging in negative gameplay with negative people.
SAGITTARIUS: THREE OF PENTACLES
Jupiter gifts you with natural warmth and charisma so people always seem to wish you well and want to help you make a success of whatever you’re working on. The Three of Pentacles asks you to get folk involved in your ambitions this week. Share the ideas, ask for input, question experts, suggest ways you could be helped, call in a favor. We can all get so much further, so much faster, when we deploy the support, interest, and skill of other people. Sky’s the limit for you if you can harness this goodwill.
CAPRICORN: TEN OF CUPS
Your love life is banging this week, Cap! Get ready to rock n’ roll! Whatever your relationship status, expect positive developments this week- flirtations, commitments, engagements, proposals etc. A happy ever after is waiting for you and the journey towards it starts here. If you’re single, then look out for creative and passionate Water signs- Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio. If you’re attached, then invest your best efforts and energies into doing great stuff with your partner. Treasure them. Tell them how you feel. Be a dream lover.
AQUARIUS: FIVE OF PENTACLES
Ignoring problems, sadly, doesn’t make them disappear. If anything, they grow. And they take root inside our mind, as a dark secret, and become shadowier and heavier. So, speak up this week Aquarius. Whatever feels like a heavy emotion (anger, shame, guilt, grief), find its source and root cause, and express this situation to someone you trust. Someone who will listen compassionately. You don’t even want advice or help, you just want to be heard and get this off your chest. Talk to the mirror if need be!
Saying what’s happening out loud will remove its grip over you. Trust me.
PISCES: THREE OF CUPS
Before Neptune was discovered, you were ruled by the planet Jupiter which makes you innately up for merriment, good times, and fun. And this week has all of that good stuff waiting for you. Parties, celebrations, gatherings, socializing, cozy time, laughter, and unexpected events that delight you. Jump right in, live life large, say yes to whatever is offered. You don't get many glorious weeks like these, where everything feels happy and everyone gets along. Make the absolute most of it.
