Your Weekly Tarot Card Reading, Based on Your Sign

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: ACE OF CUPS

Something new is brewing. The Ace of Cups is a collective blessing to any and all new adventures you begin this week. It super-charges us with the energy and motivation to start a fresh chapter with optimism and enthusiasm. This might be a new relationship or friendship, a project, or a new job or class. Whatever it is, it's new, it's inspiring, and it has the potential to renew your appreciation for life. It's time to turn the page.

ARIES: JUDGMENT

You’re reviewing your situation, Aries, and (with the benefit of hindsight) you're examining what really happened and why. These little audits are useful, because you tend to speak or act spontaneously, and then move on again at 100mph, never looking back. Judgment asks you to pause and reflect on recent events. Process your feelings, understand the role you played, and measure the consequences. Live and learn.

TAURUS: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

You hate change, don’t you, Taurus? I know, I know. Me too, actually. But it's coming, my friend, so buckle up! The Wheel of Fortune stirs everything and everyone up, getting things moving in a big way. Don’t cling to the past. Instead, be ready to react to new opportunities and challenges. This is all exciting! See these changes as a good thing, and good things will come to you.

GEMINI: THREE OF SWORDS

Some people are just downright crappy, and you could do without them in your life. Well, what’s stopping you, Gemini? The Three of Swords is a nudge to look at the people who drag you down. Do you really need to spend time with them? Can you minimize their influence, or remove it altogether? This isn’t ruthless or mean—you’re simply investing your valuable time wisely. Focus on the friends who you actually like.

CANCER: TEN OF CUPS

Love is in the air, and you’re feeling fantastic! Whether it’s a new boo (maybe with a fellow water sign — that's Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio) or rekindling the spark with your current boo, your love life is going to take a turn for the better this week. The Ten of Cups shows you’re admired, loved, and respected, and can expect to feel that way all week long. Love your loved ones, Cancer, and let Cupid spoil you.

LEO: KING OF SWORDS

You're a natural leader, Leo. The King of Swords asks you to head to the front of the pack once again this week. Something is dragging on that needs to be resolved. So push your way to the front and see what’s really going on. You will can quickly find the root cause and understand how to fix it. This is you at your best, Leo.

VIRGO: TWO OF SWORDS

The Two of Swords shows up when we’re in danger of overthinking something, which you, Virgo, are a pro at. Funnily enough, although you’ve invested oodles of time and energy on a decision or situation, you’re still avoiding some aspect of it. The time has come to grit your teeth, look it square in the face, and deal with reality. Get past this quicksand before you sink even further in.

LIBRA: THE HIEROPHANT

You're a people pleaser, Libra—it's part of your wonderfully charming and diplomatic nature. You instinctively know the topics to avoid with others, and have a sixth sense about what to do to smooth things over. But not this week! The Hierophant wants you to challenge others, ask questions, and bring up topics no one else wants to. It’s confidence-building for you to practice this kind of assertiveness, and you’re actually good at it. You can make headway as you encourage others to review things that aren't working.

SCORPIO: PAGE OF CUPS

Return to the wholesome, creative, and simple pleasures you enjoyed when you were a child, Scorpio. The Page of Cups is a playful character that shows up when we need a break. Something you used to love deserves a spot on the schedule this week, so seek out old friends, pastimes, hobbies, and sports. Pick up where you left off with something (or someone) that used to make you smile. Take a little break from the ~seriousness~ of life and find joy.

SAGITTARIUS: QUEEN OF CUPS

Self-care is high on your priority list this week, as shown by the nurturing, loving Queen of Cups. You’ve been burning the candle at both ends, dealing with a lot of sh*t that's come your way. This week, step back and invest in yourself. Whatever activities make you feel good, do more of them! Home spa nights, beautiful meals, walks in your favorite places, meditation, listening to your favorite music… pamper and spoil yourself, because you deserve it.

CAPRICORN: EIGHT OF WANDS

Communication is key this week, Cap. The Eight of Wands is a mercurial card, representing all sorts of messages, invitations, gossip, news, and opportunities. Your texts/email/DMs will be blowing up this week! Expect the unexpected, and prepare to react fast. This week, you’ve got to be open to new ideas and ready to seize fresh opportunities. This is a time of change and progress.

AQUARIUS: THE STAR

The Star is your Sun sign’s card, so this is going to be a life-affirming and positive week for you, Aquarius. Even better news, this card represents dreams coming true. It says that the higher you aim with your ambitions, the better the outcome. So fixate on what you want most in life, and make significant steps towards it. The Universe will get the hint, and bring you good fortune and luck to help you on your way. Make the most of this magical energy.

PISCES: PAGE OF COINS

Nothing worthwhile comes easily. No pain, no gain, Pisces. The Page of Coins sees you embarking on a new personal or career development pathway this week. It may take a while to come to fruition, but when it does, it will yield wonderful results. You’re ready to put the work in, so set off, Pisces, and stick to the path. This is going to be so worth it in the end!
