This Week’s Tarot Card Sees Some Drama in Your Love Life

From Cosmopolitan

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 LOVERS

Everyone thinks the Lovers is about romantic love, and it can indicate that ~passions~ are rising, but it’s not really a straightforward happy-ever-after story. The Lovers is linked to Gemini, and it brings a sense of conflict and duality. Think head vs. heart decisions, crossed wires, and heightened feelings with no grounding to help make sense of them. Basically, this week might feel like a confusing time. It’s okay! If in doubt, follow your intuition. Things will get clearer soon.

ARIES: THREE OF COINS

You work hard for other people's admiration and respect, and I'm happy to tell you that it's heading your way this week. The Three of Coins reveals that you’ve been noticed and appreciated, and someone in a position of influence is ready to help you out. Make sure you're visible to the right people and put your best self forward.

TAURUS: FIVE OF COINS

It’s not as bad as you think it is, and you don’t need to endure this pain alone. The Five of Coins is a warm hug of a card, asking you to reach out and ask for help. I know you internalize your feelings, Taurus, and I know you like to be self-reliant, but you'll find comfort and assistance if you just ask for it. People can see what you’re going through. They just want to help.

GEMINI: THE MOON

You're basically a detective, Gemini—you've got an inquiring mind and good research skills. The Moon asks you to put those talents into practice this week and mount an investigation! There’s a hidden piece of info in your midst. It’s something you need to know, but have yet to discover. Go ask some questions, keep your eyes open, and be alert. This knowledge will make a big difference to you, and it’s worth the effort to find it.

CANCER: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

Powerful forces of transformation and fortune are swirling all around you this week, Cancer, so be bold! Push that wheel of fortune in an area of your life where you want to see change. The wheel will start to spin, and change will start to unfold. So do it—take action. The Universe will get the hint that you’re up for new opportunities and information, and bring it to you. Get ready for an interesting week.

LEO: PAGE OF SWORDS

Commitment is the theme of the week ahead for you, Leo. Maybe you've been indecisive lately, and while no one can blame you, you're not getting anywhere. The Page of Swords says it’s time to plant your feet firmly on the ground and show what you’re sticking to. Things will immediately feel clearer and easier, and you'll begin moving forward again. Don’t wait any longer. Commit.

VIRGO: THE HERMIT

The Hermit is your sign’s tarot talisman, so this is an important week for you, Virgo. I sense that it’s fueled by changes of heart, rather than external circumstances. You’re welcome to withdraw and look inward this week, focusing on your own feelings, needs, and ambitions. Make a plan. Understand why you feel the way you do, and what you can do about it. The answers lie within.

LIBRA: THE HANGED MAN

Limbo sucks. Right now, nothing is really happening. Well, Libra, the Hanged Man shows that this is out of your hands, so release the frustration. There’s nothing you could’ve done differently. Life has brought you to this impasse. Why not use the time to reflect on the journey so far? Review 2020. Review further back. Understand what you’re looking forward to and how you can get there. You won't be stuck forever.

SCORPIO: FOUR OF CUPS

A year into a pandemic, you're feeling like you're stuck in a Groundhog Day-style time loop. The Four of Cups shows that you’ve fallen out of love with life right now, and everything feels dull, flat, and mediocre. Scorpio, you need a real rest. A total break from your routine. Basically, you need change. Make this week different from last week, and you’ll feel so much more better. I promise.
