Your Weekly Tarot Card Reading Is Telling You to Put Yourself First
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: THE EMPEROR
The Emperor is known for getting his own way, and that is the mood of the week ahead...for all of us (let's hope we don't cross paths!). Sometimes you have to be a little selfish. If you don’t put yourself first, who will? Give yourself permission to get absorbed in a major goal, project, or relationship that you want to see progress. Lead the way!
ARIES: TWO OF WANDS
Ambivalence is not a state of mind you’re used to, because you’re a cardinal sign with firm opinions. Life can't always be like that, though, and the Two of Wands brings an air of doubt and carelessness to your world this week. Honestly, you’re not really THAT sure you’re doing the right thing, are you? Just let things be for a while. Don't make any big decisions yet. Let your feelings settle, then reevaluate.
TAURUS: THE HIGH PRIESTESS
Self-awareness and intuitive insights are your rewards for giving yourself time and space to think. You love thinking! It's one of your favorite things! The High Priestess invites you to meditate and ruminate this week. Consider where you’re at, what you want, and how you can get it. The answers lie within, Taurus. You're ready for an epiphany!
GEMINI: THE TOWER
Okay, don’t panic. I know most of us don’t like The Tower (and I’m a Gemini too, so I feel your angst here!). Whatever happens this week has been a long time coming, and the dread is always worse than the actual thing, amirite? Let’s get this over with. Let’s see how the tower is going to crumble, then we can give a sigh of relief and get to fixing, repairing, and rebuilding on firmer foundations. Whatever ends or collapses this week was already halfway there, and you knew it was coming.
CANCER: JUDGMENT
This card is is a wake-up call for you, Cancer, but in a good way (so don’t worry!). Judgment brings a moment of clarity that changes how you feel about yourself, and it often leads to big decisions. You see your ~niche~ in life. You appreciate your strengths. You understand what it is you truly want. And now, you’re ready to put things in motion to get it. You have a big week ahead!
LEO: ACE OF SWORDS
The truth will set you free! That’s what they say in the movies, and the Ace of Swords agrees. When we speak our truth, hear others’ thoughts, and see things as they really are, we can get real work done. Have some powerful, deep, and real conversations this week. Get it all off your chest, and remember to listen, too. Things will feel different after this week, for the better.
VIRGO: EIGHT OF CUPS
The more you tighten your grip on this fading hope, the faster it will evaporate under the weight of your misplaced expectations. Virgo, the Eight of Cups is a message to move on. This week, acknowledge a disappointment, and let it go. Why? Because bigger and better opportunities lie ahead. This was all just preparation, and you don't want to miss what's coming next. Get past whatever didn’t work out and look ahead. Something better is just around the corner.
LIBRA: KNIGHT OF SWORDS
You’re usually pretty laid-back. You're happy to let others do the hard work, make the tough choices, and lead the way. You're not passive, you just prefer conserving your energy unless it’s necessary! Well, it’s necessary this week, okay? The Knight of Swords tells you to armor up for a challenge that needs your full attention. You have to fight! It’s for a good cause. No one is going to do this for you. Time to step up, Libra.
SCORPIO: FOUR OF CUPS
You’ve fallen out of love with something (or someone) in your life that has brought you a lot of happiness and stability in the past...maybe it's something that's fallen in the background, or you’re taking it for granted. The Four of Cups is a nudge to revisit your feelings about something (or someone). Is this attitude justified? Have you gotten complacent? Is it worth re-focusing on, or is it time to let it fade into the past? Make a choice, and act accordingly.
SAGITTARIUS: KING OF PENTACLES
It’s all about your material world this week, Sagittarius. You're making wise investments and informed decisions about your career, finances, home, and health. Do things for Future You this week. Act like you know you can’t fail—be positive and led by hope, not fear. The King of Pentacles is a creator of wealth and prosperity. His efforts are always rewarded. What would you put more effort into if you knew it would work out? Those areas are your priority this week.
CAPRICORN: EIGHT OF PENTACLES
Keep the candle burning, Cap, and don’t give up until you reach the end. You are so close to a major victory, and you just need to push past any fatigue, frustration, or boredom that's making you want to give up. You're no stranger to hard work, but this project has been tough and demanding. You're tired! You need a break! Not just yet, my friend. You're almost there. Keep going.
AQUARIUS: KNIGHT OF CUPS
There's action in your love life ahead, Aquarius, with the charming and adventurous Knight of Cups. If you’re single, look out for creative and irresistible water signs (Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio). It’s likely you’ll feel an electric spark as you catch their gaze across a crowded room, somewhere super social and lively. If you’re attached, this is a week to make a proposal, a big gesture, or a surprise date night suggestion. Go all-in on romance.
PISCES: JUSTICE
Whatever wrong has been done to you recently will be righted this week, and you’ll feel vindicated. This relief will ignite a temptation to gloat, and you’d be forgiven for that—but don’t do it. Justice urges you to take the high road, act graciously, and move on without a backwards glance. This is all over now. You’ve done well, and you deserve this victory.
