This is usually one of the weirdest weeks of the year. People are off of work, you lose track of time, all your usual restaurants/cafes/etc. have different hours, things feel up in the air—we call it "Twixmas" in England. You're caught in between years, not following any kind of routine. You might be partying, traveling, visiting loved ones, or getting over the holidays and looking ahead to 2024. It’s a week of limbo. The Two of Wands asks you to bring SOME focus to this chaotic week. Don’t just drift in a sea of confusion. Set a goal or two, have a loose plan, and know what you’d like to get done before 2024 officially begins. Bring a little bit of focus and you'll have a great week.
ARIES: PAGE OF SWORDS
The Page of Swords is a green light, giving you the go-ahead on a goal, ambition, or plan that you’ve been ruminating on for too long. Get this thing going before the year is out. Activate your intention. Make it clear what you want to happen and take the first step to do just that. You've dwelled on this idea long enough, and you’re in danger of overthinking it now. Take a first step, and then keep moving. No second-guessing! It's time for action, Aries.
TAURUS: NINE OF CUPS
Happiness lies ahead. This could be one of the best weeks of your year, Taurus. The Nine of Cups sprinkles wish fulfillment and magic all over your life, especially your love life! Live the dream. Be the Venus-ruled seeker of romance, pleasure, and passion that you truly are. Romanticize your life. This is no ordinary week!
GEMINI: THE MAGICIAN
The Magician is linked to Mercury, your ruling planet, so this is a week to embrace everything associated with Mercury. Like: Travel, communication, creativity, and commerce. You are literally alight with inventive ideas and imaginative insights. Get them all down on paper. Create something new. Book that dream trip. Tell them how you feel. Write a poem. Be creative and be yourself!
CANCER: QUEEN OF SWORDS
Make sure you’re getting your alone time this week, because it’s important to reflect, unwind, and take a break from all of the noise and lights. There's a lot going on! Don’t worry if you want to be a bit selfish right now. The Queen of Swords works alone. She serves herself first and does what suits her best. It’s okay to be like that. You’re not here to facilitate everyone else’s idea of a good time. You do you, Cancer.
LEO: FOUR OF CUPS
So many people I know take a social media break during December because they can’t bear all the pressure to make their life feel full of holiday magic. They feel the FOMO! You might’ve succumbed to this, even without consciously meaning to, and the Four of Cups asks you to recognize your gifts, advantages, and silver linings. You are rich in so many ways! You do so much. You have plenty. Be grateful and appreciate what’s right under your nose, and you will be happy.
VIRGO: KNIGHT OF PENTACLES
No rest for the wicked or the Virgos, am I right? The Knight of Pentacles sees you working hard, doing what needs doing and then some! It’s all for the good of everyone, including yourself. Don’t lose sight of your own needs, my self-sacrificing friend. You can go too far in supporting everyone else and neglecting yourself in the meantime. Make sure you ask for what you need!
LIBRA: PAGE OF PENTACLES
Use the strange limbo-ness of this week to do some reading, research, and planning for your 2024. Go deep into the ideas, possibilities, and interests that you are drawn to right now. Think about what can you learn and understand in order to help you schedule these things into your life. All it takes is a bit of research, a bit of thought, and then a bit of action… and you’ve got a great head start on the year ahead.
SCORPIO: ACE OF CUPS
A new friendship or romance is on the cards for you this week! Look for someone who is new to you but feels like an old friend. They could be a fellow water sign—Pisces, Cancer, or another Scorpio. This relationship will start fast and deepen quickly. Is it a flash in the pan? I don’t think so. The Ace of Cups promises a loving and lasting union that could become all you dream of. Enjoy!
SAGITTARIUS: SIX OF CUPS
This is possibly one of the most nostalgic times of the year! The Six of Cups invites you to launch yourself back in time and remember all the happy memories of people, places, and activities you loved in the past. Heck, take it even further and reunite with some old friends, visit some old favorite places, or try out some old hobbies. Reach back and retrieve things you’ve lost and remember fondly. Let affection and nostalgia lead you to wherever you want to be.
CAPRICORN: SIX OF SWORDS
The theme of this week for you, Cap, is release. Let go of what you wish to leave behind in 2023 and feel liberated of old goals, ideas, relationships, commitments, and expectations. Clean your slate as much as you can. The Six of Swords shows you have a little backlog of "stuff" to declutter, and all of it is going to be cathartic, healing, and empowering. There’s nothing as satisfying as getting rid of dead weight.
AQUARIUS: STRENGTH
Take a bow, 2023. Play a supercut of the year gone by, reminisce, and celebrate all your success. It’s been a year! Strength shows you’ve done a lot, overcome challenges, made progress, conquered demons, and grown. This is a big deal, and it all needs recognition. Take the week to process the year.
PISCES: FIVE OF SWORDS
Close 2023 down in peace. Whatever tension, stress, conflict, or arguing you’ve got going on in your life… shut it down. That could mean compromises, discussions, or retreats, whatever works. Your priority is peace. Don’t take any bad vibes into next year; start clean and start positive. This is the greatest gift you can give yourself this week!
