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: KNIGHT OF CUPS

Knights tend to represent the extremes of their suit—which in this case is good news for all of us, because Cups bring love, passion, friendship, fun, and creativity our way. Great, right? If you’re single, get ready to mingle. If you’re uninspired, get ready to feel motivated. If you’re feeling ~meh~, get ready for an injection of passion! Better still, accelerate towards the good times by igniting them yourself. Fake being the Knight of Cups til you make it!

ARIES: JUSTICE

When someone treats you badly, you hold a grudge. You don’t forgive easily—your ruling planet, Mars, demands revenge. Justice brings vindication and a correction of the scales this week, which is very welcome indeed. You might be tempted to gloat, but please don’t. Be gracious in your victory. Karma will take care of the rest.

TAURUS: FOUR OF WANDS

Think about what has been working well for you so far in 2022 and build on it. The Four of Wands shows up when you're doing well, but it's also a message that you could do even better if you maximized your position and platform. No need to start over, go backwards, or step sideways. Move onwards and upwards from here.

GEMINI: ACE OF WANDS

New hobbies and interests are your catnip, Gemini. No other sign can start so many classes, challenges, and workshops…and no other sign leaves as many unfinished projects behind them. That's just how you are, but this week, the Ace of Wands reveals that whatever you start this week is likely to stick around. Choose something that feels authentically ~you~ thing which will bring you pleasure and reward. Go for it!

CANCER: TWO OF CUPS

Ready for romance, Cancer? I bet you are—it’s your birthday season, and it looks like Cupid is giving you a b-day gift in the form of a water sign suitor (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). If you're already coupled up, you'll find a surge of passion and excitement into your existing relationship. The Two of Cups brings love and loyalty and lasting intimacy your way this week, so be ready to receive it. Date night(s) is definitely ON.

LEO: THREE OF SWORDS

Jealousy can be a theme in your life. You are no stranger to the green-eyed monster yourself, but others can be just as envious of you. You shine brightly, attract attention, and are generally fabulous! Use the cutting Three of Swords to remove a source of jealousy and envy this week, whether it be your own, or someone else’s. It’s not a positive or healthy presence, and it does not serve you well.

VIRGO: NINE OF WANDS

The Nine of Wands is like the universe is telling you, "you’ve got this." You do, Virgo. You are so capable and organized, you can handle almost anything. You actually enjoy a challenge! Take a deep breath and face one this week, because everything can be resolved by the end of the week. And then you can reward yourself for a job well done.

LIBRA: TEN OF CUPS

What does the phrase "happily ever after" mean to you, Libra? I ask because the Ten of Cups brings you opportunity to move closer to a dream this week. It’s all there, waiting for you to manifest it. All the ingredients are available, you just need to find the right ~recipe~. So, think. Daydream. Meditate. And then start to make steps in the direction of what you most desire. It’s all possible.

SCORPIO: KING OF SWORDS

When passion, creativity, or inspiration fails you, turn to the data. Get to work with the uber-rational King of Swords this week. Assess your situation coolly and logically. Write the facts down. Pretend to be a consultant being paid a million bucks to come in and figure out the next step. You can handle this.

SAGITTARIUS: THE EMPRESS

The Empress is like a Mother Nature figure. She's nurturing, protecting, loving, caring, supportive, and healing. This will be your vibe in the week ahead, so fill your schedule with indulgence, self-care, and pleasure. It’s a great week to spend time with your loved ones, get out into nature, take a spa break, and just have fun. Return to the basics and spend your time enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

CAPRICORN: TEMPERANCE

The world around you has changed, but you’ve clung onto some ideals or values that you can now admit are a little outdated. It’s time to catch up with your new environment. Temperance is about grounding, balance, moderation, and finding your feet in a ~new normal~. That's your homework this week, Cap, so take it easy. There's plenty of time to reflect, think, and come to new conclusions. You’re changing your position; be easy on yourself.

AQUARIUS: QUEEN OF CUPS

The Queen of Cups is a self-care champion. She's a nurturer, healer, caregiver, and a powerful intuitive. These aren't necessarily be roles associated directly with your sign, so you might not feel entirely yourself this week, and that’s okay. Give in to the ~softer side~ of your nature. Scale back your obligations and spend time alone, doing things that soothe and please you, just because. It’s a beautiful week to take good care of yourself.

PISCES: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

Wow, Pisces, it's going to be a transformative week with the unpredictable Wheel of Fortune. You're a mutable sign, meaning you're comfortable with endings and beginnings, you might actually enjoy it all! Get into the spirit of this card by activating a bold change in your life, then watch the ripple effect. Don’t worry about anything; it’ll all work out in the end. Enjoy the upheaval and the opportunities that emerge as a result.
