You don’t need to be a tarot card pro to get your cards read. 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.

Basically, if your bank account is not ready for a full tarot reading just yet, this one should help tide you over for now!

A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: THE WORLD

The theme for us all this week is to see the big picture. Make plans to learn more, see more, explore more. Broaden your horizons globally. Where is your current life path taking you in the long term? If you don't like where you're headed, change course.
Lastly, what do you want others to say about you–what's your legacy? Do you live a life that matches that vision for yourself?
It’s a big week with The World tarot card–it asks a lot of all of us.

ARIES: SEVEN OF CUPS

Time to activate that imagination of yours, Aries, and visualize more ambitious goals for yourself. Where does your imagination go when you’re relaxing and daydreaming about your ideal life? Pay attention, because the Seven of Cups is here to remind you that you can make your dreams a reality. The first step is to simply articulate them.

TAURUS: NINE OF WANDS

Whatever is getting you down RN, please know that it’s not as bad as it appears. The Nine of Wands is here to reassure you that whatever's holding you back at the moment is worth addressing head on. You'll feel so much better when you do.

It doesn’t have to be right first time, you know, and things rarely are, so please take this pressure you’re carrying around with you away. The Page of Wands is a carefree kind of character who knows that the best way through is by doing rather than overthinking. Try some new stuff out, see what sticks, and ditch what doesn’t.

CANCER: FIVE OF COINS

You’re known for holding on to the past–you have a fantastic memory and an emotional bond to everyone and everything that has passed through your world. Unforch, that is not a good trait for you to have this week. The Five of Coins shows that you’re ruminating over an old wound, and it’s not worth picking at that scabs. Please leave it be–it’ll heal just fine without your attention.

LEO: SIX OF WANDS

If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you do right now? The answer is exactly what your priority should be this week. The Six of Wands heralds the start of a dazzlingly successful chapter if you lean in to your heart’s desire. Everything is going to go your way this week, so make the most of this magical energy and go for what you want the most. It’s yours for the taking!

VIRGO: THE WORLD

Travel is important. The World is the final card of the tarot and the patron saint of travel. Its presence in your life this week hints that it’s time to book a trip, browse some inspiring destinations, or start saving for something adventurous. Pay conscious attention to your travel aspirations–they mean more to your personal development than just a vacay.

LIBRA: KNIGHT OF CUPS

Ruled by Venus, your love life is never fay away from your thoughts, and the Knight of Cups is in town all week long to ensure things are sizzling hot on that front! Whether you’re single (look out for a sexy Water sign) or attached (book a date night around, or in, the water), whatever energy and attention you invest in your love life will come back to you tenfold. So, notice any admirers and make a move. Pay a compliment to your partner and make them feel special. You’re a gifted lover–embrace it.

SCORPIO: THE DEVIL

I don’t know what you’re up to but it looks like it might be risky (albeit fun), so be careful! The Devil is a potent tarot card about taking 100% responsibility for our actions, owning the good, bad and ugly shenanigans we get ourselves into. Do what you’re going to do, but make sure you hold yourself accountable for it if shit hits the fan. If you do think twice, then listen to that little voice. Maybe this is the time to break this habit, stop doing stuff you know you shouldn’t, and put a pin in it.

SAGITTARIUS: THE MOON

A veil of mystery and illusion has fallen over an area of your life, which causes hella frustration! You like action and progress, but The Moon is stopping you from moving forward because you just can’t see the forest for the trees. Don’t do anything until more information has come to light. There is new insight yet to be revealed, and it is crucial. Wait–it will come and then you’ll know exactly what the next, best step is.

CAPRICORN: QUEEN OF SWORDS

You’re a bit of a loner sometimes, and quite happy to work on a project by yourself (in fact, it’s often preferable.) Well, good news, because the Queen of Swords asks you to dig into something without a stitch of input or guidance from anyone else. This right here is heaven for you. You're in full control!

AQUARIUS: EIGHT OF SWORDS

You're the most intellectual sign, but as of late, you've almost been imprisoned by your own logic. It's as if trying to hyper-rationalize every situation sometimes makes you more confused on what to do next. This week, the Eight of Swords asks you to assess your mental barriers. What's keeping you from seeing the bigger picture?

PISCES: THE SUN

Ooooh, lucky you! The Sun is the tarot’s most positive card so whatever endeavors you put your mind to this week will be successful. Don’t squander this posi energy–put it to good use on a project, venture or relationship that means a lot to you. If travel is on your mind, go ahead and book something. The Sun is a nudge to go out into the world more. Enjoy!
