Your Weekly Tarot Card Reading, by Zodiac SignMargie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

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: EIGHT OF SWORDS

We all project ideas onto other people, situations, or places. We have prejudices, biases, expectations, dislikes, and passions. We see everything through our own perspective and experiences. The Eight of Swords is a reminder of this truth, and a nudge to reconsider something or someone that you saw in a negative light. Maybe you’re just projecting what you don’t like or can’t handle in your own nature onto them. Consider this possibility, and it might provide an important answer.

ARIES: THE SUN

Here comes The Sun, and it’s all going to be alright! This is a sign of a great week ahead, Aries. Have faith in yourself, be confident, ask for what you want, show off your best talents, and apply for that dream job. Reach out, because the higher you aim, the better the outcome. Global travel is also in the cards, so broaden your horizons, see more of the world, and enjoy your life!

TAURUS: THE WORLD

The World is the tarot’s final card and a symbol of life cycles, and new beginnings and endings (and how they're connected). Every ending is the embryo of a new beginning, so don't be afraid of drawing things to a conclusion. You can’t stay put forever; you have to keep moving, growing, and evolving. Look at what is coming to fruition in your life, what has reached a natural end, and what you might replace it with. Time to evolve, Taurus.

GEMINI: TEN OF WANDS

Geminis are associated with having lots of nervous energy. You burn bright! And the Ten of Wands is a warning that you could be heading towards burn out. You need to listen to your body, pay attention to your mind, and seek deep rest, withdrawal, and relaxation. Rejuvenate your spirits. Clear your head. Unwind your tensions. Heal. Repair. And then return renewed and ready for action next week!

CANCER: SIX OF SWORDS

You are the most sensitive zodiac sign, Cancer. You take things deeply and personally, and others don't always recognize when they’ve hurt you. Cancer, right now you feel wounded, and you're ready to close the door on something as a result. The Six of Swords is a reinforcement that this is the right move. Some environments are just too callous, conflict-fueled, and ego-driven for you to survive and thrive in. Recognize this and withdraw. Don’t make a scene, just extract yourself and move on. You need to exercise some self-protection.

LEO: PAGE OF PENTACLES

Back to school for you, Leo. Something is attracting your attention and it's related to education. This might be literally going back to school, or it could be a career development course, training for new responsibilities at work, taking in a new book/podcast/video, or starting a DIY project. Whatever it is, set time aside for it, because this skill will be very valuable. The Page of Pentacles knows that knowledge is power.

VIRGO: STRENGTH

Strength shows that you are drawing on your resources of strength and power. You are relying on yourself to back yourself up and get this done. Surprisingly, it is proving to be a rewarding experience, even though some of it is tough. You feel confident. You are proving things to yourself. You realize that you have developed greater subtleties of strength such as wisdom, compassion, bravery, patience, determination, and courage. You like leaning on your own power, and you feel like you can handle anything right now. It’s true, you can!

LIBRA: ACE OF PENTACLES

Slow and steady tends to win the race. Consistency over intensity. Remember that this week. You might feel like you're falling behind at something, but just keep going, doing what you’re doing, and investing consistently in your ambitions. The Ace of Pentacles confirms that you’re on the right track, in the right way, at the right pace. Stick to the path! The area in focus is likely to be your health, wealth, or work. You know what you’re aiming for, and it won’t happen overnight. Ignore outside distraction and keep up the hard work.

SCORPIO: FIVE OF CUPS

Don’t let someone else ruin your mood. Some people like to draw others back into dark places and shade. Misery loves company, and people are trying to pull you down with them. Well, the Five of Cups asks you to avoid the doom and gloom and step into the sunshine. Don’t let anyone get you down this week.

SAGITTARIUS: EIGHT OF PENTACLES

Don't give up, Sagittarius! The Eight of Pentacles is a cosmic reassurance that all of this effort will be worth it in the long run. A breakthrough lies ahead, and it's much closer than you think. You are very near to seeing the results of all your hard work. Don’t lose faith now— trust that you’re inches away from success. Sagittarius, keep going!

CAPRICORN: THE MOON

Clarity is very important to you because without it, how do you know what to aim for, how to get there, and whether you’ve actually succeeded? The Moon hints you don’t have the clarity you need right now, and you’re frustrated. Cap, don’t make another move until you have gotten to the bottom of this situation. Ask questions, research, and find the facts. And then form a well-informed plan of action.

AQUARIUS: JUSTICE

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Your astrological symbol is the water-bearer, which represents the purity of your nature and character. At heart, you are a totally honest and transparent person. You value truth above all. Truth forms the basis of everything, after all, because how can you work with lies or illusions? Justice shows you operating as a truth-seeker and -sayer this week. You’re deciphering true from false and then telling it how it is. It might not always feel comfortable, but is it the right thing to do.

PISCES: NINE OF WANDS

Don’t back away from whatever is troubling you, Pisces. Don’t do that thing where you bury your head in the sand, pretend it’s all okay, and make excuses. Face it head-on! The Nine of Wands is a massive boost to your ego, power, and resilience. You can handle this situation, but you have to be prepared to fight. It won’t be half as bad as you fear. The dread outweighs the reality. Get this over with.
