You don’t need to be a tarot card pro to get your cards read. 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.
Basically, if your bank account is not ready for a full tarot reading just yet, this one should help tide you over for now!
A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: PAGE OF CUPS
The mood this week is one of gentle, calming, social fun. Spend time with people who soothe you and feel like easy company–this is the time to especially stay away from bad vibes, jarred nerves, or high-octane drama. The Page of Cups is a wide-eyed, childlike character, eager to explore. So look for creative pursuits to focus on. Learn a new craft. Cook a fancy ass dinner. It’s a dreamy, lovely week ahead for us all.
ARIES: TEN OF SWORDS
TAURUS: QUEEN OF COINS
This week, the universe is giving you permission to indulge yourself in whatever way makes you feel good (which just so happens to be your most favorite thing!) The Queen of Coins represents knowing what you want and shamelessly going after it. So get that massage, stock up on the Sephora merch, and f*ck it, order the dessert you have no room for but really, really want. You need AND deserve this pleasurefest.
GEMINI: THREE OF CUPS
This is the week to be your best Gemini self–i.e., going out, filling up your Google cal with plans every night, picking a new bar to hang out in. Virgo season's been a LOT for you (don't worry, bb, Libra season's on the way!), so now's the time to let loose a lil bit! Put down the work emails and talk to your friends!
CANCER: TWO OF SWORDS
As depicted by the troublesome Two of Swords, the only thing standing between you and an awesome week ahead is a decision you’ve been putting off. And the only thing you can do to get rid of this anxious energy is to make the damn choice! If you have to, list out the pros and cons, ask your closest buds, sleep on it. But you won't feel better until you pick a plan and commit.
LEO: SIX OF WANDS
The Six of Wands supercharges all your endeavors this week, Leo, so make them count! Your time and energy is limited, so pick one or two things you reaaaally wanna focus on (and that have the highest potential for great rewards down the line), and let the universe do the rest!
VIRGO: PAGE OF WANDS
You’re SO not a fan of the trial and error approach, like, ever. You much prefer to plan and organize to the point of mapping out the exact route through any project or situation (and TBH, your entire life.) Well, things aren’t going to go that way this week. The Page of Wands is nudging you to lessen the pressure you put on yourself to always get ti right, accept you might have to adjust as you go, and stop overthinking it!
LIBRA: SEVEN OF WANDS
You haaaaate conflict, but sometimes there’s no avoiding a head-to-head in life and you actually do need to stick to your guns. This week, you'll find the courage and resilience to stand your ground and not be overrun by those who want to trample all over you. Let the haters keep hating while you stay true to what you care about!
SCORPIO: SEVEN OF CUPS
Most people don’t realize what a vivid imagination you have, as you tend to project a highly reserved image to others. Deep down though, your active brain can conjure up all kinds of wild dreams and ideas about anything and everything. Your mind is running on overdrive this week, so just ensure you’re focusing this creativity on positive goals, vs. ruminating on past wounds. Direct your thoughts towards things you want to achieve and it will bring you endless opportunities and ideas (keep your notebook handy!)
SAGITTARIUS: FOUR OF CUPS
You’re a live wire who needs constant action and adventure in your life, otherwise you get really bummed out, real fast. The Four of Cups hints that this has been happening recently, and you need to do some reconfiguring to feel inspired again. Look closely at your world– what excites you the most RN? THAT is where you should head this week. Start a new challenge, and you'll feel 100% more like your usual boisterous self again.
CAPRICORN: KNIGHT OF SWORDS
The Knight of Swords is walking with you this week and boosting your combative, ambitious, energy–it's the kind of vibe that gets you places you want to go, but have previously struggled to. Time to knock harder on doors you want to open. It’s not about bullying or being aggressive, obvi, but finding your assertiveness and overcoming obstacles you know are surmountable. Get it!
AQUARIUS: THE EMPRESS
PISCES: FIVE OF SWORDS
Sometimes you put up with crappy situations and people for too long because you’re so kind and compassionate. Pisces, take a deep breath and identify someone who's been a pain in the ass for basically ever, and who others have told you to walk away from. So yeah, this week, you need to draw that mess to a close. It just won't get better until you either confront the person or back away entirely.
