Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Knight of Swords

Meaning: Do something really Aries-y this week that you, and possibly you alone, are into and find fun. I’m talking white water rafting, bungee jumping, theme park rollercoastering, white knuckle, high octane stuff of adventure and thrills!

You are a creature of passion, action, and pushing boundaries. You love to be pushed to a limit. You love to overcome a fear or obstacle.

Go do something that gets your heart pumping and your blood rushing and feel alive! You will reinvigorate your whole system and energy.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Ace of Swords

Meaning: Express yourself, let it all out, expel the anxiety or anger or doubt that has been poisoning you and release the frustrations. Be it about money, love, or lifestyle – let it all out.

The Ace of Swords asks you to be truthful and honest and share your true feelings. This will make everything better, easier, lighter, more bearable. And you can enter your sign’s season feeling ready for action, adventure, and good times. Let go of all the bad stuff first.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Three of Cups

Meaning: Make this week a pleasure-fest! The Three of Cups is permission to play, revel, frolic, party and enjoy yourself. Life is short, we’re here for a good time not a long time.

Make great memories, draw close to those you love and like, pursue things you truly find pleasurable. If you don’t enjoy your life then what is the point of all your hard work and good behaviour?

Find ways and means to make every day interesting, new, and revitalising. Switch up your routines. Do different stuff. Have a blast.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Sun

Meaning: The Sun is the tarot’s most positive card so it seems you’re in for a magical time.

Travel, especially to someplace sunny and vacation-y, is on the cards so try and get away or maybe plan something beautiful for the coming summer. Have faith in yourself and apply or ask for things you dream of doing, being around, or possessing.

It’s time to reach up and take what you desire. You deserve it so why not? Why keep waiting? Make a wonderful life happen this week, set a new ball rolling.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: The Hermit

Meaning: The Hermit gives you permission to actually stay home, do less, focus on yourself and your own daily routines and rituals.

Not going out so much is actually a change for you, a rest, a break from the norm… enjoy it! If you’re happy in your own space, at home, in your daily lifestyle you can be happier overall.

Don’t feel you have to seek stimulus, reward, or relaxation outside, it can all be done in your own company, in your own time and space. Make home comforting, enjoyable, fun, and relaxing. Settle in.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Nine of Cups

Meaning: Ready to make a wish? The Nine of Cups is a cosmic dream-come-true pass that grants you your heart’s desire, so something linked to money, love or pleasure has been on your mind and is now ready to be manifested.

Take steps this week – clearly visualise your goal, not only think and feel but believe it can happen, and take positive, overt steps towards it.

The Universe will make magic happen to propel you further faster than you think is possible right now. Make a dream come true.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Ten of Wands

Meaning: Rest, Libra, take it easy, sit back and enjoy the lazy, comfortable, and indulgent season of Taurus with total satisfaction and permission. Chill, sleep, lie in, daydream, potter.

The Ten of Wands shows you’re fatigued and frazzled and over-ready for a calming and soothing phase of deep rest and relaxation. That is where pleasure is found for you this week and you physically, mentally and emotionally need it too. Just chill out.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The High Priestess

Meaning: Scorpio, get mysterious, weird and wonderful this week!

Produce your tarot, oracle, crystals, spell book, tools, and herbs and cook up some spells and magic to make life feel enchanted and charged with supernatural power. Watch a haunted documentary or horror movie, visit a spooky venue, see a psychic, practice a journeying meditation, bathe in the moonlight, listen to a past life regression audio.

Be weird. You already are, so embrace it! The High Priestess invites you to join her in the practice of magic this week… don’t let her down!

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Eight of Swords

Meaning: Feel free to liberate yourself from your own worst habits, self-limiting beliefs, and negative projections or outlooks, which you know deep down only trip you up and get in the way.

The Eight of Swords invites you to enjoy a mental clear-out and declutter of dead wood and dead weight. Be light. Be renewed. Be reborn.

Enjoy seeing things with a clear vision and no bias or old prejudices. This recalibration sets the tone for a phase of empowering growth and personal development.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Judgment

Meaning: Don’t try to be someone else, compete with others for the sake of it, or negatively compare your flaws with others’ strengths. You can be so very hard on yourself, Cap, and Judgment reveals this is going to stop this week.

You are turning a new leaf. You appreciate your own unique talent, strength, and presence, and you want to align your work, leisure, and relationships around that. You are you, you’re the only one, you deserve to be appreciated and valued for that.

Stop twisting into different shapes and just enjoy and amplify who you already are. You are halfway there to feeling so much more comfortable in your own skin at last.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Three of Swords

Meaning: Total permission to end all toxicity, negativity, or falsity in your life and walk away from the haters and Debbie Downers. Goodbye miseries!

The Three of Swords sees you feeling the pinch from other people’s bad vibes, intentions or mood. You notice there are roles and situations you’re involved in that don’t make you happy anymore.

It’s time to turn the page. Release it all this week. Sever, cut, end, withdraw, retreat, block, and quit. Clear the decks of the bad rubbish, ready for new magic to enter the frame.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Eight of Cups

Meaning: Don’t make excuses, gloss over issues, pretend it’s okay or suppress anxiety in order to make something work that, in truth, is not working. Admit it.

The Eight of Cups shows your fastest route to ‘back on track’ is to be honest about a failure, see it for what it is, withdraw from investing any more in it, and move on. Easy as that? Yes, it is.

Don’t worry, better opportunity lies ahead, very close by in fact, you just don’t see it yet. Trust that this was all just preparation for something a lot bigger and better. Let it go.
