Hello, star child! Your monthly tarot horoscopes—also known as tarotscopes, which feature the combination of tarot cards and astrology—are here to help you navigate 2023. For each of the 12 signs, we pull a unique tarot card to predict the month ahead for every member of the zodiac. Be sure to check out both your sun and rising sign for the most accurate reading.

This year has already started off with many important transits, and May is full of surprises—including the Pluto retrograde in Aquarius that starts on the 1st. It's a good time to revisit old, stuck emotions and outdated narratives in order to get to the bottom of who you are and what you want to feel going forward. There’s a full moon lunar eclipse in the sign of Scorpio on May, which will be a moment of releasing, acknowledgement of what you need to grieve and let go of, mourning, and shadow work. This will be followed by Venus—the planet of love, sex, beauty and money—entering watery Cancer on the 7th. And all while Mercury retrograde in Taurus is still here! But not for too long: The Mercury retrograde period ends on May 14.

As the month progresses, lucky planet Jupiter enters the luxurious sign of Taurus for the next year starting on May 16. This transit will bring abundance, and new opportunities will abound for many of you. On May 19, the new moon in Taurus arrives and gives us a chance to take action toward our goals—especially if action means relaxing and receiving, as Taurus does so well. We end the month with Mars (the planet of aggression, passion, and forward movement) entering bold Leo just a day before we start Gemini season on May 21. In other words, this means the last few days of the month will be loud, proud, and slightly chaotic for us all.

And don’t forget how far you’ve already come. In April the full moon in Libra arrived on the 6th to give us an opportunity to let go of any people-pleasing tendencies that may have been holding us back from healthy and happy relationships. On March 16, Venus—the planet of love, sex, beauty, and money—entered into luxurious and high-maintenance Taurus just a few days before Mercury (the planet of communication) entered fiery Aries. The sun joined Mercury in Aries just one day later on March 20, and a new moon arrived in Aries on March 21. You may have found that you wanted to upgrade your love life and take more initiative in order to make it happen.

On February 5, we started off the month with a full moon in the fiery sign of Leo. This lunation may have ruffled some feathers, allowing you to release the ways in which you’ve been playing small. It was a good time to address anyone or anything that makes you feel insecure. The Mercury retrograde period in Capricorn ended on January 18, giving all of us space to think a little more clearly. By January 20 we closed our Capricorn season and entered into rebellious and creative Aquarius, which provided an extra dosage of clever energy.

So what lies ahead? Read on to see what’s in store for your sign—or your rising sign, which you can calculate here—in 2023 with your monthly tarotscopes. (PS: Want more guidance? Don’t forget to check your weekly horoscope on Glamour.)
