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: JUSTICE

Long-standing problems will magically disappear. Many of the recent ~storm clouds~ around you will blow away this week, and you’ll find yourself feeling lighter and brighter. Justice brings closure and sweeps away stagnation, giving you a genuine ~clean slate~ on which to write your renewed goals. It’s a new season, and a new you.

ARIES: EIGHT OF WANDS

Communication is the key theme of the week ahead. Expect your inbox to be blowing UP. The Eight of Wands means there’s a LOT of energy around you, and people want to offer you new opportunities. It’s great, right? Right. Make sure to keep an open mind because you’re going to be saying YES to things that you can’t imagine yourself doing. Get ready, Aries—it’s time for action.

TAURUS: THE HIGH PRIESTESS

Hunker down for a ~self-care~ week, Taurus (which, frankly, is absolutely your favorite kind of week). The High Priestess asks you to relax and practice your rituals, particularly spiritual ones. Only when you’re finally still can something inspiring come to you. It’s there, waiting to emerge, and it just needs you to simmer TF down.

GEMINI: NINE OF CUPS

Ready to take a trip to Cloud Nine, Gem? Good, because your boarding pass is waiting. The Nine of Cups promises something you’ve been wanting will manifest IRL this week. Anything is possible (Harry Styles may still be out of the picture though, sry). Let your hopes guide you towards a surprise gift from the Universe.

CANCER: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

Buckle up, because The Wheel of Fortune is the tarot’s card of transformation. It hints that there’s significant change ahead for you. It’s usually a good thing, but sometimes there are a few setbacks along the way. Just take them in stride, because the destination you’re heading to is well worth a bumpy ride. Even better, make the most of the transformative vibes around you and instigate a change of your own this week.

LEO: PAGE OF COINS

Live and learn, Leo. It’s one of those weeks where you feel like you’re not making the progress you’d hoped for, and it’s easy to get frustrated. Try not to. The Page of Coins asks you to relax, sit back, and enjoy the journey—forget about your plans. If you can’t control what’s happening, then why get stressed about it? Observe how others react, measure your own responses, look for the silver linings, and spot an opportunity to act upon down the line. There’s still a lot you can learn here.

VIRGO: FIVE OF CUPS

The Five of Cups can act like a “get out of jail free” card, if you play it right. Sometimes we’re all guilty of getting in our own way. Right now, something from the past that’s lingered with you has morphed into a mindset that doesn’t serve you well. Identify your own self-limiting beliefs this week, and challenge them with positive action. You can break free!

LIBRA: ACE OF WANDS

If you care too much about what other people think, you’ll always be following their lead. Libra, you’re a natural people-pleaser, but you’ve got to put yourself first. The Ace of Wands urges you to pursue your own passions this week, even if you know they’ll provoke a raised eyebrow or two from people you care about. But it’s your life, not theirs! So go live it. For you.

SCORPIO: FIVE OF WANDS

Sometimes other people can be absolute dicks, Scorpio. You can invest enormous energy trying to fix the issues, but sometimes, you just have to call it quits. The Five of Wands hints that this time is coming this week, so be ready to walk away from something difficult and draining. You tried. It’s time to cut your losses.

SAGITTARIUS: THE EMPEROR

You’ve got the power. The Emperor is always ~present~ in life, leaning in to the opportunities in front of him. This is you this week: Making waves wherever you go, in a good way. Enjoy being a person who can make others’ lives a little bit better.

CAPRICORN: JUDGMENT

Judgment sounds like it’d be a negative tarot card, but it’s actually an invitation to close one chapter of your life (one that’s ready to be over already), process what’s happened, and start a new one. Take a sec to reflect on the story so far—the highlights, the lowlights, the regrets, and the surprises.

AQUARIUS: THE MAGICIAN

Nothing comes from a void. If you want to make things happen, you have to make things. Literally. Create something that can impact the world—be it a product, an opportunity, an event, a piece of art, or an invitation. The Magician reassures you that whatever you put your energy into this week will make things happen for YOU.

PISCES: THE STAR

~Reach for the stars~ this week, Pisces, because you’ve been blessed with the tarot’s most positive wish-come-true card. It’s like the Universe is telling you to turn your favorite dream into your real life. Srsly. The sky’s the limit, so don’t waste this potent good magick. Go make something amazing happen—the cosmos has your back, bb.
