Your Weekly Tarot Card Reading Is Telling You to Keep Going

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: NINE OF WANDS

We all need to zoom in on our obstacles and issues this week—the clear and present ones that are actually limiting our progress right now. Don’t be afraid, because the helpful Nine of Wands reassures you that you CAN tackle them head on. It will be easier than you think, and you’ll be so relieved you’ve faced these demons. They are not the scary, impossible monsters you thought they’d be, and it feels good to overcome something you’ve dreaded.

ARIES: THREE OF COINS

You’re going to be a happy one this week, Aries (*everyone sighs with relief*), because the Three of Coins means you’re being admired right now. And we all know admiration is your favorite. It's probably someone at work or in a professional environment. This isn’t so much a romance or friendship thing, but a promotion thing. This person can help you progress in your career. Identify them, be impressive in their presence, and who knows where it could lead!

TAURUS: FOUR OF SWORDS

You love your bed. You’d never leave it if you could. Happy days (and nights) for you, Taurus, because the Four of Swords advises that you need extra rest and recuperation this week. You’ve been busy—mentally and physically—and you can’t pour from an empty jug. Time to recharge your batteries. Withdraw and rest up.

GEMINI: TWO OF SWORDS

Duality and ambiguity are no strangers to you, Gem, because it’s in your nature to be open-minded to every option. Well, this week the Two of Swords asks you to make your mind up about something important. It's something you’ve been dancing around for a while, and the cosmos has run out of patience. Make a decision. Take action. The end.

CANCER: SIX OF CUPS

A welcome blast from the past comes back into your world this week, Cancer. The good kind. It could be an ex-lover, an old friend, a long-lost family member, or even a colleague you were once close with. The Six of Cups is playful, affectionate, and nostalgic, and that is the energy this reunion will have. Enjoy it!

LEO: EIGHT OF COINS

Hard work will bring impressive rewards this week if you just get to it, Leo. The Eight of Coins is the hardest worker in the room, and that’s the mindset to adopt right now. Your sacrifices will pay off, so this extra effort is worth it. Go put the hours in, and you’ll find a prize awaiting you at the end—maybe even a raise or promotion.

VIRGO: THE EMPRESS

The Empress brings beautiful, loving, peaceful vibes this week, Virgo. This card is all about the best (free) things in life—family, love, sex, pets, creativity, nature, soothing landscapes, happy homes. Spend time with your loved ones, relaxing or doing wholesome and easygoing things. You will find such contentment and fulfillment there. Sometimes we don't need to spend a pile of cash to have fun.

LIBRA: KNIGHT OF WANDS

Ready for an adventure? Hope so, because the Knight of Wands is knocking on your door with an invitation to go out and explore the world with him! He brings bold leaps of faith, new territory, different approaches, and new news into your world, and you should just say "yes" and go with whatever's on offer. It’s a week to be spontaneous and courageous. Go broaden your horizons.

There’s just so much going on right now, but you’re (secretly…everything with you IS secret, after all) loving it. The Two of Coins shows you juggling balls and spinning plates, feeling like you’re at the center of everything. Enjoy this flurry of activity, Scorpio. Make as many new connections and open as many doors as you can, because the seeds you plant now will grow with time.

You love making fresh starts, so this week will be a real buzz for you. Ride the waves of good vibes and exciting energy. These gifts are likely to be focused on career, personal projects, creative stuff, or inspiring travel. You love your freedom, and this is a week when you can use it to do loads of new things!

Don’t get stuck in a rut because of stubbornness, a reluctance to admit you were wrong, or a reluctance to try something new. The Four of Coins takes no prisoners. It firmly tells you to shake things up and stop digging your heels in. You’re only spiting yourself. You need to refresh and renew your priorities. I promise, you'll feel better immediately.

AQUARIUS: THE STAR

The Star is your sign’s tarot card, so this feels like it’s going to be a great week, Aquarius! The Star is also a cosmic wish-come-true from the universe (and it’s not even your birthday!). You can make something magical and wonderful come true for yourself this week. Identify what it could be, make strong moves towards it, and let the universe do the rest. Enjoy your lucky and happy week ahead.

PISCES: KNIGHT OF CUPS

Your friendships and your love life are your top priorities this week, Pisces—which sounds like bliss, doesn’t it! The Knight of Cups shows you're in the mood for fun, adventure, pleasure, and exploration, and your loved ones want to join you. Make plans. Plan events. Schedule get-togethers. Invest time making your favorite people smile. This is going to be a loved-up kind of week.
