Your Tarot Reading for the Start of Taurus Season, by Zodiac Sign

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. BTW: Taurus season begins today. Let’s go!

A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: FOUR OF WANDS

We’re all hard at work, but the Four of Wands asks us to collectively take a sec to pat ourselves on the back for getting this far in one piece. Let the universe know you appreciate the opportunities and good fortune it has brought to you thus far in 2021, and it might bring you even more. Be grateful for the story so far, and be ready to write the next chapter. You’re on the up and up!

ARIES: THE MAGICIAN

The Magician indicates you’re beginning a winning streak. Creativity and confidence are the magic ingredients, so be bold and show the world what you’re capable of. Override your insecurities and doubts—this is your time to shine! The Magician reveals that you can make more of your natural talents and strengths than you currently believe. The sky’s the limit, Aries, so aim high.

TAURUS: TEN OF WANDS

All work and no play will make Taurus very unhappy indeed! Kick back, relax, and chill with your besties. The Ten of Wands is a red flag that you’ve been overdoing it, and you’re in danger of burning out. Scale back and try to find the comfortable center of a more balanced lifestyle. You can’t pour from an empty jug. Time to recharge your emotional batteries.

GEMINI: DEATH

Don't freak out, Gemini! Death doesn't mean death-death. In fact, it represents transformation, one of your favorite things. It signals that it's time for a total change, inside and out. Start by identifying places where you feel stuck or thwarted. Then, take action. Step out of your comfort zone. The universe will get the hint and bring you luck and opportunity.

CANCER: SIX OF SWORDS

The Six of Swords is a sweet departure, indicating that you're moving on from someone or something that you’ve outgrown and are ready to leave behind. Don’t worry, because no one is sad about this ending. It’s actually a little bit overdue (you don’t like letting go of anything, we know, we get it). This card signals that it’s high time to take this step. Have faith in yourself, and look ahead with optimism. New landscape = new opportunity.

LEO: KING OF COINS

You like "King cards" because you’re a natural-born boss yourself, Leo. You just naturally take take the top spot in anything you’re involved with. Well, the King of Coins sees you taking charge at work right now—and loving it! Put in the right position, you really shine, and leading the way really suits you. Show them your innate confidence, courage, and ability to call the shots. You’re going to enjoy this.

VIRGO: EIGHT OF WANDS

Communication is your theme of the week, which suits your Mercury-ruled sign, so get the inbox cleared because you're about to get REAL busy! The Eight of Wands brings opportunities, invitations, information, updates, openings, and gossip your way—probably from unexpected sources. You’re going to feel like you're at the center of everything this week, and it’s important you act on what you learn. Weeks like this don’t come around often!

LIBRA: PAGE OF COINS

The Page of Coins sees you embarking on some kind of education—it might be as big as going back to school, or taking a class to learn a new skill. Or it could as "small" as reading a great book, listening to a new podcast, or watching some makeup tutorials on YouTube. Libra, you’ve got an analytical, curious mind, and it needs new stimuli to keep it working at optimum capacity. Give it something new to play with this week.

SCORPIO: JUSTICE

One thing to know about Scorpios: You might (miiiight) forgive, but you sure as hell will never forget! TBH, revenge kinda appeals to you. So take a deep breath, because this week, the universe/karma/etc. is going to make something right for you, without you even having to get your hands dirty! Fabulous. You deserve this vindication, but take it with good grace, and move on.

You can get to the ~next level~ this week, and it’ll be way easier than you think. You’ve got the universe backing you up. So, identify the things that have been getting in your way, and make a plan to tackle them in the next seven days. You’ve got this, Sag.

All is good in Capricorn-land this week, with the romantic and charming Knight of Cups. Maybe your love life is perking up dramatically, or maybe you and your friends are having an amazing socially-distanced happy hour. Maybe you're finding a new hobby or routine that you love.

So, be strong, stand tall, and keep your chin up. You're an incredibly smart, powerful sign, and you’re about to show people what you’re all about. Go get ‘em.

You're caught in a trap, Pisces! The Eight of Swords sees you going around in circles, somewhere you’ve been many times before. A self-limiting belief or behavior is tripping you up this week, so please spot it and stop it. You can really smash this bad habit to pieces so that it never bothers you again. Be vigilant and call yourself out on your own BS. You got this, Pisces.

Happy Taurus season!
