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 HANGED MAN

Come at it from another angle. Change your perspective. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. We all get stuck in our own echo chamber sometimes. And right now, you’re orbiting around the same opinions. The Hanged Man reveals that ultimately, this leads you down a dead-end. So instead, be open-minded, seek different outlooks, and challenge your thinking. The answers you seek do not lie in your existing comfort zone. You have to go look for them. So go out, explore, and expand your mind.

ARIES: PAGE OF WANDS

Aries, you are a typical Page of Wands character. You’re full of enthusiasm when things begin, but when it gets dull, repetitive, or difficult, you’re ready to leave it all behind and start something new. And that means can find yourself surrounded by half-baked and half-finished projects and ideas. Do some cleaning up this week. Get rid of the things you’re not going to finish. Finish the things that are urgent or important. Then you can re-focus on what IS inspiring or interesting.

TAURUS: KING OF CUPS

You are calm, cool, and collected amidst chaos. Nothing really ruffles your feathers (unless it’s really, really bad). You can usually see things clearly, without too much emotion clouding your judgment. The King of Cups shows that someone close to you needs your calming presence this week. They need your guidance, your comfort, and your advice. You enjoy helping those you love, so go ahead and answer their call. You can make their life better this week.

GEMINI: NINE OF CUPS

Make a wish, Gemini, because the beautiful Nine of Cups is gracing you with her cosmic presence this week! Make it a worthwhile wish. It should be something that matters to you and has been out of reach for a while, despite your best efforts; something you could use a little help from the universe on. Then, all you need to do is to visualize it, believe in it, and make a couple of overt and direct steps towards it. Good fortune and opportunity will arise in unlikely places to help you progress rapidly to manifesting your dream. Good luck!

CANCER: THE HIGH PRIESTESS

The High Priestess is the bridge between the seen and unseen worlds. She represents the inner wisdom you seek, the truth behind the façade, and the universal knowledge that can bless your life with wisdom right now. Take a time-out this week, Cancer. You need space to think, meditate, reflect, and tune in to your inner voice. Great insights and truths are waiting to emerge, and they could change your life if you let them. You are a deeply intuitive person. Use this power.

LEO: THE SUN

The Sun is one of your tarot cards, Leo, which means you’re about to have another wonderful week! The sky’s the limit right now—I mean it! The Sun is the tarot’s most positive card. It can indicate literal global travel or vacations to sunny, luxurious, gorgeous places. It can also bring the light into your life in an abstract way, bringing love, success, money, health, and prosperity. Whatever you wish for, go make it happen this week. You deserve the best and it’s coming your way.

VIRGO: TWO OF CUPS

The Two of Cups represents love, romance, and partnership, so this is a nudge to invest in your most important relationship. You are in tune with someone, and you can really deepen your connection this week. Spend time with them. Tell them how you feel. Show them what you mean. If you’re single and looking to mingle, then water signs might be where it’s at (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio). This could even be the love of a lifetime!

LIBRA: ACE OF PENTACLES

Good things come to those who plan for, wait, and invest in them! Nothing brilliant happens without design, intention, and focus. Start a new goal this week, Libra. It should be a long-term one, something you need consistent focus and attention to bring to fruition. It could be a savings plan, a career change, a home improvement, or a physical challenge, like training for a marathon. It’s something that will take time (up to a year) but it will pay off in the futue. It all starts here. Get going.

SCORPIO: FIVE OF WANDS

Wherever there is pressure, tension, or conflict in your life, pay attention, Scorpio. The Five of Wands is a red flag card. Take it as a sig to look at things that feel difficult or challenging in your life. Don’t ignore or excuse them. Zoom in and get to the bottom of what is creating this tension. Then, you can resolve things. The reason this drama is kicking off is simply to get you to notice it! So, zoom in.

SAGITTARIUS: KNIGHT OF SWORDS

Go ahead, Sagittarius—say it how it is. Then let them respond. Don’t make excuses, play it safe, or overthink it. Express yourself and leave them to make their own assessment of it (which you can’t control anyway). The Knight of Swords is a prompt to be direct, forthright, and assertive. If you don’t tell them what you think, then how will they ever know? Equally, you then have to let them make their own judgment. And if you don’t like their answer… tell them that, too. It’s time to have a truthful and open discussion.

CAPRICORN: QUEEN OF PENTACLES

Capricorn, you ARE the Queen of Pentacles. Meaning that you’re a practical, determined, ambitious person who works very hard and deserves (and loves) their rewards. You like the ~finer things in life~. And why not? You work hard and you deserve good things. Live well this week, Cap, and remind yourself why you work so hard. Treat yourself. Buy that thing you’ve coveted for so long. And then get back to work so you can earn some more indulgences. This is your pattern.

AQUARIUS: KING OF PENTACLES

Strength comes from proving you CAN handle things, overcoming you once feared. The more struggles you face, the easier life becomes because you build resilience, confidence, knowledge, and experience. Maturity is good! The King of Pentacles sees you overcoming something you once felt was impossible. You have proven your power, yet again, and you deserve the surge of self-esteem that comes with this achievement. Appreciate how well you’ve done. Savor this victory.

PISCES: KNIGHT OF WANDS

Time to be an adventurer, Pisces! Throw yourself into a fairytale with the swashbuckling Knight of Wands. You can design the narrative and landscape. Pick a theme. Choose a goal. I realize you are not literally going into a fairytale, but of all the signs, you have the greatest imagination. Make life magic. Inject your schedule with a dose of fantasy. This is your best life!
