Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Knight of Wands
Meaning: You are unstoppable (some might say insufferable) this week because not only is your planet Mars moving into your sign of Aries but you also get the Knight of Wands, which is like the essence of Aries energy.
I think you could climb any mountain. So, yeah, head off on a grand adventure, attempt the impossible, aim as high as you dare and then some more. Nothing is out of reach for you this week if you put your back into it. Go get some!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Four of Wands
Meaning: Your power move is to apply for a promotion, head to the next level, raise your prices/game/ideas, progress beyond the space (that you’ve outgrown). Bigger, better, bolder.
Taurus, you’re a deeply ambitious and capable person, born to lead, made for controlling and bossing other folk! It’s a race to the top, and the start line is here, this week. You can progress far, far beyond this current position. Believe it and do it. Results within four weeks!

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Five of Cups
Meaning: There’s been some loss, regret and setbacks spoiling your mood recently, even though you’ve tried to brush them all off. Gemini, those sad days are over. The rebuild and reboot starts here!
So dry your eyes and look ahead with hope and optimism. Use the humbling or wise lessons you’ve learned to set out with a new-found sense of experience, shrewdness or understanding. You’ve lived and learned. Put the knowledge to good use and go make your realm brilliant again, better than before. You are the master of reinvention.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Five of Swords
Meaning: Your power move is to end an argument. You didn’t start this, but you can end it, and that is the real power move, because you get to take back control and put this fire out, before they can pour any more fuel on it.
Whatever it takes, you can do it. You love figuring people out, sussing out their buttons, and then pressing them! So, strategise a path to peace, make your moves, and watch them fall in line. They never really wanted this heat anyway and are sorry to have tested you. You love stuff like this.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Two of Swords
Meaning: Decision-making is this week’s project and homework. You are going to make a big, bold decision that sucks the power out of the room and puts it all in your back pocket.
Other folk are still watching and wondering, and you’re already 10 steps ahead and out the door! The early bird gets the worm. First movers’ advantage. Play the risky hand and take the grand prize, remembering fortune favours the bold. You are boldness personified.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Nine of Wands
Meaning: This week will bring you enormous self empowerment, and that comes from testing your mettle, facing a fear, overcoming a challenge you have dreaded tackling. Get to it. It’s the right time!
The Nine of Wands brings reassurance and help that you don’t expect, and everything will unfold much faster and smoother than you could ever imagine. So don’t live with this nagging feeling of low-key fear any longer… face its root cause and feel strong. You can do this. You’ve got this.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Page of Wands
Meaning: Your power move this week, Libra, is to let life bring you what it’s got in mind for you, and engage with it fully, trusting the process, ditching the schedule, and refusing to overthink the outcomes.
Focus on what’s in front of you. Put down your plans and schemes, and engage with the current moment, because that is where the real opportunities are, and where you will find the greatest success and potential for progress.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The Magician
Meaning: Success requires value, which means creating, inventing, or delivering something that folk want. The Magician puts an idea in your mind this week that you alone can execute and that will be amazingly successful. Are you ready to begin?
It’s based around a natural talent, strength or interest of yours, and it’s something fresh and new. With a little training or refinement, you can bring this project to fruition and maybe even ‘sell’ it somehow. Fancy being an entrepreneur? It’s on the cards!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Three of Coins
Meaning: You are so well loved and admired, people always draw to your flame because you’re naturally funny, bright and charismatic. Your power move, this week, is to use the company you keep and attract. It’s via who, vs what, you know that doors can open for you right now.
Collaborate, cooperate, and co-create. Ask for help and advice. Share ideas. Brainstorm. Question and validate other folk. Seek investment and support. Whatever you need from others will be granted this week (if you ask).

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: The Wheel of Fortune
Meaning: Make one big, bold change in your realm this week. Then step back and watch that Wheel of Fortune start to spin. Everything creates a halo, a ripple effect, a knock-on. And you will enjoy watching the consequences and well-timed impacts of your move spread out across your wider realm.
It all comes from a good place and therefore it will bring good gifts to others. Be brave, resolute and direct. Make what you wish to happen… happen. You have the power.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Seven of Wands
Meaning: Aquarians are competitive; I truly think it’s an under-rated trait of yours. Bring out the best of you by entering into some kind of rivalry, competition, target-setting or goal creation this week, ideally with other folk.
You are known to rise to any occasion, you are fuelled and enlivened by ‘proving something’ to other people, so make this your environment and baseline, and you will surpass your own expectations. Play to win and you will win. But you need to pick a game to play.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Seven of Coins
Meaning: The power move is to let go of what’s not working. Don’t tie yourself up in painful knots to an idea, person, place or role that doesn’t suit or serve you well. Life’s too short for this waste of energy.
Accept what’s not right in your life and give yourself full and unconditional permission to seek something new. And you know what, it will all happen faster than you think! This has been brewing for a long time, and it’s time for a rebirth. Acknowledge this and the process will begin.
