Your Tarot Reading for the Week Isn't Quite as Scary as It Looks
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: THE DEVIL
It takes a long, long time to recognize you’ve acquired a new bad habit, because no one sets out intending to do so. But the thing is that pleasure can turn ugly when we ignore negative consequences. This week, the Devil is asking all of us to identify, understand, and address a bad habit that's crept up on us over the past year. Maybe you need to quit it altogether, or maybe you just need to find a healthier way to incorporate it into your life. You decide—but make a change.
ARIES: THE HANGED MAN
Frustration is your enemy—you need action and progression. Sorry Aries, but the Hanged Man shows you may hit a roadblock this week. Don’t get stressed, and don't try to force your way through. Take the ~time-out~ and enjoy the moment of stillness. Use it to reflect on your actions and intentions, and tweak them if they need it. Go with the flow, and momentum will be restored sooner than you think.
TAURUS: THE HIGH PRIESTESS
Meditation should be on your to-do list this week, Taurus, because The High Priestess is the tarot’s mystical, inner-wisdom card. Look ~inside yourself~ this week. Self-awareness, insights, inner knowledge, secret desires…all of this could come pouring forth in a flurry of inspiring thoughts and feelings. But first, you need to slow down, take a breath, and listen to what lies within. You're going to receive powerful insight and ideas this week.
GEMINI: TEN OF COINS
You're focusing on plans and strategies this week. The prosperous Ten of Coins signals that you're looking at your long-term goals and wondering how to accelerate towards them. Success usually takes planning, Gemini. In fact, having a strategy actually boosts confidence and self-belief, which is a win in itself. Take out your notepad and pen, and get to it.
CANCER: ACE OF WANDS
Whatever it is that you've been thinking about doing, the time to begin is NOW! The Ace of Wands is a nudge from the Universe to get busy pursuing things that inspire, motivate, and excite you. It’s a guarantee of fulfillment and reward. It's saying you definitely should make this new start, and invest all of your hope and confidence in it being a success. You’re about to embark on an amazing journey.
LEO: FIVE OF WANDS
Bonding over a common enemy helps you form relationships and alliances, but it sure isn’t nice when you are the enemy. Well, the Five of Wands sees you sitting in that ~hot seat~ this week (though not for long). Let them talk! Who cares? Certainly not you, because you’ve got bigger and better things to do! Let the haters hate. Shake it off.
VIRGO: SEVEN OF CUPS
Virgo, you’re off in your own world right now, and I’d love to know what’s going on inside that big, creative mind of yours. Care to share? The Seven of Cups is a nudge to get some of these wonderful visions and ideas on paper, so you can actually manifest them IRL. Daydreams come to you for a reason: to show you what’s possible in your life. You may not be able to become anything you want, but you CAN become everything you are.
LIBRA: FIVE OF SWORDS
There’s a storm brewing in your world, and I don’t think you can step out of its path, Libra. Stand firm. The Five of Swords shows that conflict is inevitable, but it can also be valuable. See what lies beneath and try to understand the dynamics, history, and motivations behind this conflict. Tackle things at a deeper level and you could heal a longstanding issue, and/or renew a bond with someone you thought might be lost to you.
SCORPIO: THE EMPRESS
The Empress is a beautiful tarot card representing Venus or Mother Nature, and all the pleasures and natural wonders of life: sex, animals, children, nature, creativity, and happy homes. Revel in the free and authentic gifts you have in your life right now. Celebrate your relationships, talents, advantages, and opportunities. Spread the love and do good things for others. Tap into a positive cycle of good karma and generosity. You’re going to have a beautiful week, and the good vibes will echo for a long time to come.

SAGITTARIUS: THE SUN
Congrats, Sag—The Sun is the tarot’s most positive card. It hints that you’re on the cusp of a breakthrough that could lead to lasting prosperity and fulfillment. The key to finding it is confidence and self-belief, so go for it this week! Pursue your dreams. Step up. Be bold. It will all pay off.
CAPRICORN: SIX OF SWORDS
Don’t worry, be happy, and move on. The Six of Swords is like a signal that you're read to make a big leap you’ve been thinking about. It inevitably involves moving on and leaving something/place/one behind, but that’s okay! You can’t carry every piece of your past with you. Take that deep breath, and make this move. You ARE ready, Cap.
AQUARIUS: SEVEN OF SWORDS
The Seven of Swords is a tricky card, hinting that you, or someone close to you, is...up to something. It’s just got a shady vibe. If it's you, play your cards close. If it's not you, whatever you think is going on, try to play it safe. Be cautious, and, if in doubt, DON’T. It’s probably not going to be worth it in the long run.
PISCES: TEN OF CUPS
A blissful and romantic week awaits, Pisces, and I know that makes you smile! The Ten of Cups is a true love and happily-ever-after card. If you’re coupled up, try to make your S.O. happy this week, because it will work out better than you think. If you’re single, then go ahead and make a move on your crush, because that will play out better than you think, too. Love is in the air!
