Your Weekly Tarot Card Reading, by Zodiac SignMargie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

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 EMPRESS

This is a time to appreciate Mother Nature's gifts: health, family, home, food, pets, and of course, nature. Just stop and look around, breathe, and get back to basics. Stop chasing more and appreciate what you already have. The Empress promises a week of gratitude and simple pleasures. It feels good, too. I think I like this little life...

ARIES: THE EMPEROR

The Emperor is your sign’s tarot card, representing your ambitious (and sometimes even selfish) nature. Be yourself, unapologetically and wholeheartedly. Go get what you want, don’t take no for an answer, and be bold. If you don’t pursue your goals, then who will? You will end up supporting someone else’s dreams. Be the main character!

TAURUS: TWO OF CUPS

Romance is on the cards this week, Taurus. I know you love to hear it—you're ruled by Venus, after all. If you're single, a new romance may emerge. This is an instant attraction and immediate soul mate kinda bond, possibly with a water sign (Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio). This is someone who is loving and loyal and ready to commit. If you’re attached, then schedule a date night and go big. This could take you to the next level, whatever that looks like for you.

GEMINI: FOUR OF WANDS

4 of wands

This is a great week to ask for a promotion, a raise, or more responsibility. Be proactive and confident. You are ready for the next step. Just be prepared to give as well as take. The Four of Wands can hint at literal promotions, but it can also mean a broadening of your scope and potential. You are going places! This could be literal—perhaps a change of location is on the cards—or metaphorical. Think bigger. Ask for more.

CANCER: NINE OF SWORDS

9 of wands
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Don’t drag this worry of yours around any longer, Cancer. Get it off your chest and say what’s bothering you. A good, compassionate conversation will go a long way towards resolving this anxiety altogether. And what remains after can be broken down and tackled in bite-size pieces. The Nine of Swords sees you bottling things up. It never works; you only explode down the line. Release it now.

LEO: ACE OF PENTACLES

Aces indicate new beginnings, fresh starts, and clean slates. This one pertains to the Pentacles, indicating work, home, wealth, and health. Plus, the card represents a one-year timespan. In a nutshell, you are going to set a new goal in one of those areas that might take up to one year of consistent work to achieve. Every step will take you closer and bring its own reward, but the final pinnacle is a ways down the line. What inspires you? Go after it.

VIRGO: NINE OF CUPS

9 of cups
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

It's time to wish on a wishing star. What do you most desire? The Nine of Cups will lets you have what you want. But you have to do more than wish: You’ve got to clarify what it is that you want, and then make a leap in its direction. From there, the universe will bring luck and opportunity to help you keep chasing your dream. Make this count, Virgo. This card doesn’t come around too often.

LIBRA: SIX OF SWORDS

6 of swords
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

The Six of Swords swings through your life, severing a fading, fraying tie to something that you’ve been considering ending. It’s the right time to make that cut, say farewell, and move on. This won’t be a shock to anyone; it’s been a long time coming, and the whole thing has simply run its course. Be hopeful and positive. You’re ready to move on.

SCORPIO: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

This is a week of excitement, change, chaos, and opportunity. You need to be on your A-game to make the most of all of this tumult and transformative magic. The Wheel of Fortune throws all the cards up in the air—go ahead and grab the cards that you've been waiting for. Be proactive: Spot what’s opening up, beginning, or changing in your favor. You can make leaps and bounds this week. Be lucky.

SAGITTARIUS: THE MAGICIAN

Celebrate this fabulous card and bring all of your best ideas to the table. People are ready to listen, buy in, and support you. Sag, you’re a smart, creative person and you’ve been thinking up some amazing plans recently. But they need activation, collaboration, and approval. Pitch, propose, and apply. Share your ideas. Tell people your dreams. You can start so many exciting new things this week. Be confident.

CAPRICORN: THREE OF PENTACLES

3 of pentacles
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

No one works harder than you, Cap. I know it, and others do, too. The Three of Pentacles shows that your efforts have been noticed and admired. And because of this, a new opportunity will be offered to you this week. Accelerate towards it by being visible to people with influence or access. It’s who you know, not what you know. Be positive, welcoming, and open to new things!

AQUARIUS: TEN OF WANDS

10 of wands
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

The Ten of Wands is a nudge to slow down, take it easy, and rest up. You’ve been burning the candle at both ends, working too hard. You're starting to burn out, Aquarius, and you need to let everything cool down. A rested mind is a creative mind. Take a breather and come back better than ever.

PISCES: KNIGHT OF SWORDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

The Knight of Swords is not your usual vibe—it’s assertive, pushy, demanding, even a little aggressive. I guess we all need to show our teeth sometimes, and this week will require you to stand your ground, and maybe even push onto someone else’s. Use this Knight to help you. Channel his forthright, bold, no-nonsense, and self-centered powers. It’s time to fight a little. The results will be worth it.
