I know a lot of us feel tired and despondent right now. 2020 has brought one challenge after another, and it seems like there are endless obstacles to work through. Have faith. The Nine of Wands shows that the next barrier you face will be the last one for a while. It represents a major opportunity for breakthrough, so give it your all. This is the darkness before the dawn. Don't give up!

ARIES: THE EMPEROR

You’re such a cute lil’ ram, chilling in your field until someone crosses you—then watch out for your horns! The Emperor sees you acting like the boss you are this week, telling everyone how it’s going to be and showing them the way forwards. Head to the front of the pack, where you belong. You know what needs to happen. Do it.

TAURUS: KING OF SWORDS

You’re in a planning mood. The King of Swords sees you busy with your schedule and post-its, making to-do lists. You want to have tangible goals that you can make steady progress on. You want to get 2020 under some form of control! Good for you. Make a new plan for the rest of 2020, and you'll feel better about everything.

GEMINI: KING OF WANDS

You’re hustling this week, Gem, and you’re a great hustler, so it’s going to be a great week! Tap your network and see what comes up; there are opportunities to be had if you look for them. Get some new projects going. Tell your friends your ideas and share your thinking; they might be able to help. Make a bold move or two. Broaden your circle of contacts. You can make great progress this week, so get on it.

CANCER: TWO OF CUPS

The Two of Cups is a sweet card about new romances or intense friendships—just the kind of thing you like. There's someone close to you (whether romantic or platonic), and your bond is about to get stronger. You’ll feel closer than ever, like this person is someone you could have in your life forever! Nurture and protect this bond.

LEO: THE HIGH PRIESTESS

What's your spiritual practice like, Leo? The High Priestess invites you to do some soul-searching with whatever tools or rituals work for you. Get out the crystals, the oracle cards, the chakra healing book, and anything else you’ve got in your drawers!. Find a way to tune in to your inner voice. There are truths waiting to emerge.

VIRGO: THE DEVIL

The Devil represents the bad habits, temptations, and negative behaviors or thoughts that trip us up. We lean into these instinctually, but we shouldn't—and deep down, we know it. Virgo, you can identify and stop a bad habit this week. The necessary insight and willpower will flow to you. Do yourself a big favor and, if it looks like temptation, AVOID it.

LIBRA: ACE OF SWORDS

Diplomacy is your superpower, Libra, but the downside of this skill is that sometimes you’re so tactful, the message doesn’t land. People hear the flattery, but not the core truth. The Ace of Swords asks you to just say it as it is this week. Don’t try to make it nice. Just speak y0ur mind. Their response is on them, not you.

SCORPIO: PAGE OF SWORDS

A younger person (possibly an air sign—Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius) is making your life tricky this week. The Page of Swords is a jerk, basically—fickle, inconsistent, and annoying AF. What to do? Scorpio, try not to strike out with your stinger. I know you like to take action when people rile you up, but take a step back instead. Let them have all the space they need to act the fool. Go do something better. Leave them be, and this energy will die down as quickly as it flared up.

SAGITTARIUS: KING OF COINS

You believe that tough times make tough people, Sagittarius. Hardships build our resilience. You’ve got a big heart and a lot of courage and confidence, Sag, and you’d do well to share some of your power someone you can see is struggling. The King of Coins shows you have an abundance of strength and resilience, so share it where it’s needed most. You can make a big difference.

CAPRICORN: KNIGHT OF CUPS

Imaginative and creative escapades are coming your way all week long, Capricorn—enjoy them! The Knight of Cups is your partner in crime this week, fueling you with ideas and insights—please don’t waste them. Keep a notebook handy and scribble down your thoughts. Over the week, they'll add up into an amazing new project or a fresh approach to something you’ve been puzzling over. Let your inner creative out to play!

AQUARIUS: KNIGHT OF SWORDS

Conflict is no stranger in your life because you’re an honest, assertive person. The Knight of Swords asks you to watch out this week, though, because sometimes your bluntness can actually makes things worse. Think twice before you start lecturing—does the person you're talking to really want to hear it? Make your approach softer and more persuasive, and you’ll get further.

PISCES: PAGE OF COINS

This is the perfect week to start your newest pet project, Pisces. It’s something where you learn on the job—something practical and hands-on. The Page of Coins is a student of life, slowly developing new talents and skills through persistence and determination. This new project can make you an expert in something new, but it doesn’t happen overnight. Stick with it.
