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 MAGICIAN

The Magician is my all-time favorite card, so I am pleased to see it land on this festive week. Good are ahead! The Magician asks us all to create our own paradise this week. Whatever floats your boat, go ahead and manifest it. Think: Parties, socializing, coziness, good food, cocktails, celebrations, reunions. Do whatever makes you feel good and brings joy to others. Be a good soul. There’s something magical about this time of the year—enjoy it. Be the magician!

ARIES: SEVEN OF WANDS

The Seven of Wands brings a welcome energy into your world: It represents competition. You enjoy a little rivalry because you’re ruled by Mars (the god of war, ICYDK). Conflict enlivens you, awakens your passion, and gives you the kick you need to perform at your best. This doesn’t have to be anything malicious or painful; this can be a friendly competition (although we ALL know you’re not going to let them win). Go show them what that Mars energy is all about.

TAURUS: THE HANGED MAN

Don’t get stuck in a position, habit, or behavior that’s no longer working. Be flexible and adaptable this week and things will flow freely. The Hanged Man is a little red flag that reminds you to be open-minded and think outside of the box. Don’t keep on doing the same thing and expecting different results. You need to switch it up! You just need to adopt an innovative approach. Be ready and willing to look for new ways to do just that.

GEMINI: QUEEN OF PENTACLES

Time to step up, take responsibility, and be disciplined when it comes to protecting and developing and your chances of success in health, wealth, work, and home. Do what is best for Future You. Sacrifices you make now will pay off down the line—that’s really what discipline is. The Queen of Pentacles promises rewards for this good behavior and ensures that you will summon the necessary determination, willpower, and drive to get the job done. Gemini, you’re stronger than you realize!

CANCER: THE CHARIOT

The Chariot is your sign’s tarot mascot. It embodies the purposeful, focused, and intentional side of your personality—the unstoppable force that not many get to experience, but which emerges when you have your heart set on something (or someone). This is a week to exert your influence to help you achieve your heart’s desire. Let nothing stop you. Let no one rain on your parade. It’s time to act.

LEO: SEVEN OF PENTACLES

This card is all about going over your options, playing out potential future scenarios, and picturing yourself in different roles. You’re being nudged by the evolutionary Seven of Pentacles to consider what you could become or learn. What inspires you? What kind of person would you like to be? Anything is possible. It all starts in your imagination.

VIRGO: FOUR OF WANDS

This card is all about promotion, expansion, and progress. You feel ready to take the next step or reach the next level. You are a capable and conscientious character, and you know when you’re ready to move forward. This IS the right time. The Four of Wands asks you to apply for that job, ask for what you want, pitch your idea, and challenge yourself. Look for the next step and the take it. Have faith in yourself. This is the beginning of the next chapter.

LIBRA: DEATH

Death is not a scary card, despite its name! It doesn’t mean dying, it means changing. It’s a “little death” if you like, because some part of you or your world will inevitably fade and “die” so that the new era can begin. Don’t fear the reaper, he comes to help escort out the things that are reaching their natural end. That way, you have space to plant new seeds. Embrace this process. See the end of the year as a turn of events in your life too. Let go of the old and face the prospect of the new!

SCORPIO: EIGHT OF PENTACLES

Whatever you’ve been considering quitting… don’t! The Eight of Pentacles is a clear signal that a major breakthrough lies ahead in an area that you’re sick and tired of. We all reach the point of hating what we’re doing at times. It’s inevitable when it comes to long journeys. Don’t give up! Make a real effort to push on this week, and you will be amazed at what unfolds. The rewards are coming. This is nearly over.

SAGITTARIUS: NINE OF WANDS

Take the thing you’re considering putting off until next year and get it done this week. Don’t procrastinate on this, because it will only fester at the back of your mind throughout the holidays. The Nine of Wands brings all of the necessary energy, inspiration, and motivation to get this task resolved. It won’t be half as difficult as you think, and when it’s done, you can relax and let loose. Don’t put it off. Do it!

CAPRICORN: TEN OF CUPS

Your love life is set to bloom and bring you joy and happiness this week. If you’re coupled up, then feel free to fall even more deeply in love. This is a time to wow them, make a grand gesture, tell them how you feel, and take things to the next level. If you’re single, then expect to be swept away by a new romance or flirtation that heats up quickly. This passion is immediate and powerful. This person could be a water sign (Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio) but they are definitely loving, loyal, and charismatic. You can’t resist this attraction, and—even better news—it could turn into something lasting in 2024.

AQUARIUS: NINE OF SWORDS

Express whatever is bothering you at a deep, dark level. Something has stirred within you that has triggered a fear that you’re trying to suppress—but all that’s happening is that it’s getting bigger, uglier, scarier. The Nine of Swords is a sharp tool to help you carve out and clarify exactly what this is all about. Find the root cause, and then you can extract it from your psyche, talk about it, and release it. This is not a real concern; it’s an imaginary fear or catastrophe scenario that your mind is fueling. Stop. Talk about it. Release it. Feel better.

PISCES: TEN OF PENTACLES

The Ten of Pentacles shows that you’re ending the year exactly where you’re meant to be. Revel in your position. Take stock of where you are. Reflect on your journey. Think about what you want to keep, change, leave behind, and begin in 2024. But don’t make a move yet; for for now, just celebrate where you are and what it took to get here. Rewards, success, and security all lie ahead for you. You are progressing perfectly, Pisces!
