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: FOUR OF SWORDS

Rest, relax, and just do less. The Four of Swords is a nudge from the tarot to take a time-out, whether that’s a short vacation, delegating some tasks, or even just distracting yourself from whatever has been on your mind. An overworked brain can’t process things well. Instead, you need rest. A new idea, solution, or option will arise when you’re not looking.

ARIES: THREE OF WANDS

Opportunity knocks this week, Aries, so expect the unexpected. These openings won’t last for long, so be ready to respond quickly and decisively. The Three of Wands puts you in a welcome swirl of fast-flowing energy, invitations, and informations. It’s a week of finding yourself making something out of literally nothin. You love this kind of surprising and spontaneous energy. Have fun!

TAURUS: FIVE OF SWORDS

It’s all just noise. You’ve forgotten whatever it was that started this argument, and now it's turned nasty. The Five of Swords says that it's time to end the drama. And Taurus, you're well placed to do this because you command respect, you don’t waste words, and you’re not easily provoked. Step in, lay out the situation, and make a proposal. See what happens. Be ready to walk away if the noise persists. You don’t need this anyway.

GEMINI: NINE OF PENTACLES


9 of pentacles

You can see how things could be in an ideal world, and you like what you see. Gemini, you are a powerful and imaginative visionary. You can invent things from thin air. The Nine of Pentacles sees you having one of your visions about something in the long-term future. Something linked to health, wealth, or home. It’s like an epiphany, and you mustn’t waste this dream. Write it all down, share it, kick it about, research your options, and make a plan. This vision was sent to you for a good reason. Manifest!

CANCER: KNIGHT OF WANDS

Time to unleash your fun, adventurous side! Cancer, let your inner wild child come out to play. The Knight of Wands brings you the right energy, stamina, invitations, and interactions to turn this week into a memorable one. You can’t predict what might unfold. You don’t know where it’s all heading. But the adventure is right there waiting for you. Go out, mingle, say yes, be proactive, and be bold. You are going to have a blast. Get March going right!

LEO: THE HIGH PRIESTESS

Introspection is not a state of being you’re naturally drawn towards. You prefer to be active unless you’re sleeping. But here is the intuitive, inwards-gazing High Priestess. This tarot card means that there’s a some inner wisdom, self-awareness, and insight waiting to emerge from your subconscious as soon as you let it out. So, meditate, journal, talk to yourself in the mirror, rest, and daydream. Prepare to be enlightened.

VIRGO: NINE OF SWORDS

Virgo I know that telling you to stop worrying is almost as impossible as asking you to stop breathing. You are the zodiac’s professional worrier. However, the Nine of Swords demands that you share your private fears this week, either with someone you trust, or at least your journal. Get the words out. Say it out loud. When you keep this all inside, it gets uglier and bigger. You are scaring yourself. Get things in perspective by talking it through. You will feel lighter, brighter, and better.

LIBRA: THE EMPEROR

Diplomacy and tact are your strengths. You can charm, cajole, and persuade almost anyone to do almost anything. This week, however, a more direct and even slightly brusque approach is required. The Emperor wants you to say it how it is, be honest, make your demands, and lay it out plainly. Strip things back and show the reality, and then be clear what you need. This is the right approach. This is how you get the job done.

SCORPIO: THE CHARIOT

Travel, broader horizons, big-picture goals, and maybe even a new car: All are possibilities when The Chariot arises. This card’s presence suggests that you’re on the move. It’s not just a pleasure outing; you have a purpose. Place and location are so important. They can dictate how, why, where, and with whom you progress in life. Consider your location carefully and whether a change would be beneficial. I think it will.

SAGITTARIUS: EIGHT OF PENTACLES

8 of pentacles
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Your goal this week is to do all the hard work first. Grit your teeth and tackle the most tricky, off-putting, difficult, intense, or challenging things on your to-do list. Then, when you’re done, schedule a nice treat (or a series of treats) to reward yourself. The Eight of Pentacles demands persistence, determination, and relentless pursuit of a goal. It’s not time to give up, but it is time to recognize you need a mini reward before the final pay-off. Work, and then play.

CAPRICORN: THE HERMIT

The Hermit suits your nature, Cap. Doing things solo is fine and dandy in your book because you enjoy working alone, at your own pace, without having to watch someone else make mistakes. The Hermit lets you focus on something you’re engrossed in, something that demands a lot of attention. Make space to be alone and concentrate on his project. The rewards are worthwhile, and this is a week full of break throughs.

AQUARIUS: SIX OF SWORDS

6 of swords
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

So you’ve been wondering about calling something off, walking away, moving on, and letting it go. Aquarius, now is the time. This is the week to draw anything to an end that you feel has run its course. Better to be the doer than the done-to. Better to cut ties cleanly than drag it on. The Six of Swords is a welcome departure, a natural ending. Do it.

PISCES: SIX OF WANDS

6 of wands
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

The tarot would like you to celebrate yourself this week, Pisces, if that doesn’t sound too cringey! Seriously, you deserve to just take a moment to acknowledge all the good things you do for others, the successes you’ve achieved, the positive reputation you’ve earned, and the happy glow you bring to every room you walk into. The Six of Wands is a big high-five from the universe congratulating you for playing the game of life so well. Revel in your good nature, good standing, and good life.
