Your Tarot Card Reading for the End of Taurus Season

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: STRENGTH

We learn the most from the hardest times—from how things get done to our own character strengths (or weaknesses). Strength is a powerful tarot card that represents this wisdom, reassuring us all that no setback or obstacle comes without some kind of benefit. Take a trip back to your recent successes, failures, and experiences, and extract a life lesson from each. You're becoming stronger and more resilient, wiser and more compassionate. Your hardships make you who you are.

ARIES: FOUR OF CUPS

Boredom is like kryptonite to you, Aries, and I'm sorry to say that you're in danger of falling into inertia this week—if you don’t make an effort to make plans. The Four of Cups brings ~meh~ vibes. Recognize where you feel you’re falling into a rut and force yourself to break the pattern. Do something new, in a different way. It’s exactly what you need.

TAURUS: FIVE OF WANDS

Finding a "common enemy" can bring people together in surprising ways. You find yourself in the midst of some drama this week, and (I hate to say it) you might find yourself to be the "common enemy," with surprising people teaming up against you. It’s not an easy spot to be in. Don’t worry, it will pass quickly if you don’t add fuel to the fire. Let them think what they like. You carry on doing you, and distract yourself with other people and activities. They don't know the ~real you~.

GEMINI: KING OF WANDS

There are many different versions of you, Gemini, and the one in control this week is the bold, risk-taking adventurer, ready to get out there and make an impact. Good. Let the King of Wands bring you courage and confidence. Make a bold move, and push beyond your comfort zone. You're ready to broaden your horizons, and the King of Wands will help you do it.

CANCER: EIGHT OF WANDS

You love gossip, news, information, invitations, and opportunities, and the Eight of Wands puts you at the center of everything this week. Everything and everyone seems to be flowing your way. Enjoy it, and use the opportunities that come to you for your own good. Say "yes" to everything and everyone, and capitalize on the wonderful surge of positive energy you find yourself riding on. It’s a great time!

LEO: ACE OF SWORDS

You have something to get off your chest, Leo! So say how you feel. The Ace of Swords is asking you to let it all out. Write it down first if you like, but get those feelings and ideas out of your head and into the world. You're going to feel a million percent better after you tell them how you feel. Your worries have gotten out of proportion inside your brain. It's time to talk it out and get it straight.

VIRGO: SEVEN OF WANDS

The Seven of Wands brings you a challenge, and frankly, you’re ready for it! Virgo, you're a tough opponent, because you are always on the case! Accept the challenge, make a plan, play to your strengths, and push on. You can win the prize with style, and maybe make some allies along the way. It’s not necessarily what you do, but how you do it right now. So, play fair and play nice…but play to win!

LIBRA: SEVEN OF CUPS

Oops, Libra, you’re overthinking and procrastinating again. I'm throwing you a lifeline before you sink into those swirling pools of imagination, because you sure could get lost in there for a while. The Seven of Cups is a ~magical thinking~ card, and, believe me, nothing gets done when you’re in this mood. Shake yourself out of it, and tackle what needs doing. Prioritize getting your to-do list done…and then you can lie back and relax!

SCORPIO: KING OF COINS

Control is a strong theme in your life, Scorpio, because frankly, you like to have it! The King of Coins sees you focusing on your material realm (money, work, health, home) this week, turning your attention on anything feel has gotten away from you recently. You want updates, check-ins, and reviews. You want to know where you stand, and what’s coming next. Get the information you need, and use it to assess what action is needed. This is you at your best.


You’re obsessed with all things astro. Same. Never miss a retrograde with Cosmo Unlocked.


SAGITTARIUS: NINE OF WANDS

Don’t worry, Sag—the things you think are standing in your way are actually just an illusion. Your obstacles are almost non-existent, and you can forge ahead as you wish, without anything getting in your way. The Nine of Wands is reassuring you that you can handle this. Make some moves, and you'll make progress. Nothing is stopping you.

CAPRICORN: THREE OF WANDS

Although you enjoy working alone, this week, you'll find that you can get so much further, so much faster, when you team up with others. Collaboration is where it’s at for you right now, Cap, according to the Three of Wands. Look out for openings and opportunities to work with like-minded hard workers, and you'll create something together that neither of you could do alone. Everyone is going to be so impressed!

AQUARIUS: JUDGMENT

Judgment is a wake-up call, a realization about your actions or past that casts a different light on things. Not in a bad way, just in a new way. So let your insights and self-awareness flow, let your outlook shift, and let your thoughts drift back to old times. Re-assess what happened, and why. You're preparing to turn a new page, but there’s unfinished business to take care of first. Process a past event, and extract a valuable life lesson.

PISCES: FIVE OF SWORDS

You may have fallen out with someone, but it doesn’t mean it’s forever, or that it’s irreparable. The Five of Swords has brought conflict with someone you care for, but it's only temporary, so don’t stress out or overthink it. Calm down, let it lie, and give them some space. If the opportunity arises to get in touch for a good reason, then do so, but otherwise, just let the flames die down. This shouldn’t have gotten so heated. It will cool down just as quickly.
