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!

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!

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

You’re naturally suited to resolutions (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

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.

July 24 to August 23

leo star sign
Audacity is an asset sometimes (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

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.

Grasp the nettle this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

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.

Stay in the present and it will pay dividends in future (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

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 star sign
What’s your bright idea? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

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

sagittarius star sign

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

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

AQUARIUS star sign
Healthy competition will spur you on (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

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

pisces star sign
Time to say goodbye (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

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.

Aries

A spring awakening (Picture: Kerry King)

Aries spring 2026 love life cards: Gemini, Power Couple, Set A Deadline

Meaning: Ready for a spark to be lit in your love life? A Gemini person or aura will enter the frame and bring fast-paced action, inspiring communication, new ideas and fresh thinking. It might feel like a total renewal of your relationship or feelings about love. For the better.

From here, you can build. And the potential to create a ‘power couple’ relationship, where you both build each other up, share resources and energy to create a greater whole than either could create solo, is unlocked. More than lovers, an alliance.

The key to this is setting deadlines, being aware of how much time you both have to spare/invest/share/create with. Time is the real currency of everything in life. With time, anything is possible. Spark things up, talk deeply, create an alliance, use your time together wisely. Anything is possible, aim high together.

Keep facing forward (Picture: Kerry King)

Taurus spring 2026 love life cards: The Ex, Don’t Drink The Poison, Fading Feelings

Meaning: Whatever you do this spring, Taurus, don’t return eagerly to either the presence or memory of an ex, or an old habit in love, that you know doesn’t serve you well and is not right for you. The past always carries allure, we all gloss over things and reposition ourself in a main character light.

Your love life past is not a place that merits a place in your present. It all served a purpose but don’t drink the Kool Aid that things were better then – that’s not Kool Aid, it’s poison! If you’re experiencing fading feelings or a sense of loss or confusion in your current relationship status then work on it in the present, don’t seek rescue or distraction or answers from the past.

The way ahead is built by looking ahead, not back. Be led by your best hopes, talk about whatever you’re feeling, ask for input, deal with what’s in front of you. Everything can get better in the future.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

The excitement of a fling can be injected into an existing relationship (Picture: Kerry King)

Gemini spring 2026 love life cards: The Free Spirit, Pursue Passion, A Fun Fling

Meaning: All Geminis have a free-spirited approach to life, and love. That doesn’t mean you’re a cheater or unreliable, in fact Geminis are the most loyal sign going, and will do anything for folk they cherish, standing by them in all weathers. What it means is that you bring fun, openheartedness and spontaneity to your love life, which partners get to enjoy.

Pursue passion this spring, Gemini, be it in your relationship or your single life. Make things light and fun. Nothing wrong with dating up a storm and a fun fling or two, and nothing wrong with bringing the notion of a ‘fun fling’ into your existing relationship if you’re attached — a long weekend away together, date nights every week, more emphasis on your physical relationship and anticipating your time together as you did in the early days.

Reinstate the sense of ‘we do what we like’ and follow your passions wherever they lead. Spring is a time to be abundant, light, and open-minded. Embrace that energy.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Love life landscaping (Picture: Kerry King)

Cancer spring 2026 love life cards: The Free Spirit, Pause and Reflect, A Tended Garden

Meaning: Life’s short. Time is your greatest currency, so spend it wisely. Look around you at your relationships and figure out, if you were a total free spirit with all chores and commitments aside, where you get the most reward and fulfilment. Pause and reflect. Don’t just go through the motions, retread the same ground, fall into ruts and patterns with folk, play the same game you always have.

Stop and think about your love life, your family realm, your friendships. What’s working and what isn’t? Spring is your season for getting everything on track again — a tended garden in full bloom. Might need some pruning, cutting back, replacement, nurturing and feeding, encouragement and attention. Make a plan, put it in motion. New habits will yield new results.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

You’ll know when this happens (Picture: Kerry King)

Leo spring 2026 love life cards: Aquarius, Serve The Relationship, A Fun Fling

Meaning: Aquarius is your opposite sign, so this card suggests either a hook-up with your ‘opposites attract’ person this spring (which will be very interesting) or a sense that your approach, needs and love language is reversing, shifting, changing totally. And that’s okay.

Serving your relationship, vs yourself, is the key. We are all different people to different people in our lives, and each new relationship unlocks another aspect of our personality. Chemistries change and evolve. Notice this and let it unfold, let yourself change and be changed by someone else.

Maybe it’s not your actual partner or love interest that changes you, maybe it’s a fun friendship/fling/intense moment with someone fleetingly. People make their mark on us in all kinds of ways, and you will know when this is happening to you. Take the lesson or input, use it, evolve with it.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Is it time for a new strategy? (Picture: Kerry King)

Virgo spring 2026 love life cards: Scorpio, Give In To Desire, Fading Feelings

Meaning: Maybe a sexy, dark and dangerous Scorpio is on the cards for you this spring, Virgo, which would certainly spice things up! Or maybe it’s you who is feeling super spicy and like you wish to fully and wholly give in to your desires, letting your pleasures and heartfelt yearnings lead you to the next phase of your love life’s story. And if so, do it.

We are all lustful, animalistic, physical beings and these strong urges are valid, useful and affirming – they are letting you know who and what you’re most attracted to. Why fight it?

Maybe you’re experienced fading feelings in love recently, felt like you’re going through the motions, or keep meeting the same obstacles or ‘type’. Let all of that go, let all of that wash away into the past. Resolve, from now on, to follow your heart, your yearning, your desire, and you won’t go far wrong. This is your love life sat nav and it’s designed just for you.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Virgo

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Open up (Picture: Kerry King)

Libra spring 2026 love life cards: Gemini, Manifest Your Life, Burning Passion

Meaning: Ideas are your catnip, your passion sparker, your favourite way to connect with someone, and that is what spring will bring to your love life. A like-minded, airy, clever, analytical person with whom you can discuss anything and everything, and with whom you can sound board your own creations and opinions, and invent different angles and perspectives on life. Bliss!

They could be a Gemini, but if you’re happily attached then it’s conversation, dialogue and talking about weird subjects from weird angles that will unlock this happy state. Discover your shared burning passions, talk about what you wish to manifest in your lives, make wishes, feed back on the path you think the other should take, tell them how you see them as a person, open up analysis and discussion about the future.

When you’re enthralled mentally, all the other areas follow suit. You could definitely fall in love with a person’s mind and this will be demonstrated and proven to you this springtime, and it’s conversation and dialogue that unlocks the whole chapter. Talk it up!

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

You’re in the driver’s seat (Picture: Kerry King)

Scorpio spring 2026 love life cards: Capricorn, Take The Crown, Solitude

Meaning: Your relationship realm is asking you to take responsibility for the energy, effort and investment you put into it. Nothing can stand alone, carried by one person. A true bond is mutual, equally supported, and built together.

The Capricorn card could suggest a new suitor of that sign (and this gives real ‘power couple’ vibes) or just this effort and dedication you’re going to overtly prove and demonstrate to your loved one. They need to hear you say it out loud! Take the crown and wear it well, take ownership, lead the way, guide your partner through your hopes, dreams and fears, take responsibility for making them feel good, understood, and trusted.

Open up. Solitude is a state we all need to feel comfortable with, because ultimately we have to bear our own peace of mind. Your partner can’t be there 24/7 or tend to your every need… give them space, give yourself the gift of your own company, and let this relationship breathe too. It’s a balancing act of giving more when you’re present, and being happier in your own company when you’re not.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Time to look at your priorities (Picture: Kerry King)

Sagittarius spring 2026 love life cards: The Soul Mate, Say Goodbye, A Tended Garden

Meaning: You have a soul mate in your realm, be that your current partner or a person waiting in the wings for their chance, which will unfold this spring. It may mean saying goodbye to someone or something else.

You carry so many options and juggle so many balls! Prioritising people, a person in particular, is hard for you because you love to feel free and available to do whatever comes your way. But partners need to feel like number one in your life. Are you ready for that? If so, you can create a beautiful private realm with your soul mate, nurturing a tended garden where you both roam, feel safe, and build beautiful moments together.

The relationship in question is a shared venture, a join project, a thing you both ‘serve’ (vs just serving yourselves), and if treated in this honourable way, it can flourish, bloom and bring great joy to both of your lives. It needs to be a priority.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Sagittarius

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Calm waters are on the horizon (Picture: Kerry King)

Capricorn spring 2026 love life cards: Leo, Do The Groundwork, Smooth Sailing

Meaning: You take great pride in your home, your family and your close relationship/s. Partnership is a sacred entity in your realm and you serve your loved ones well. A Leo sense of leadership, pride and regality is with you — folk are looking up to you, seeking your protection, asking for guidance, copying your lead. So, be the King or Queen you truly are!

Smooth sailing in your relationship realm comes from doing the groundwork, looking after the details, correcting the small issues before they get bigger, nipping disagreements in the bud sooner vs later.

If you’re single, maybe a Leo partner is on the cards this spring. Someone whom you gel with immediately and can quickly create a shared kingdom in which to play, love, develop and build. You always favour an ally as well as a lover, you want someone to build and share a wonderful life with. You deserve this.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Capricorn

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Help your love life to blossom (Picture: Kerry King)

Aquarius spring 2026 love life cards: Pisces, A Tended Garden, Align Future Goals

Meaning: Peace and harmony are the key themes of your spring love life story. But that doesn’t mean passivity or total quiet, to tend your relationship garden, work is needed. Things need pruning, snipping, nurturing, moving to the light, feeding and arranging.

The undercurrent of this work is about aligning your future goals with your partner. Talking about what’s happening in your lives this year and beyond, what ambitions you carry, what you can do together and what is a solo mission, but needs support and understanding.

Get it all out on the table. Examine the pieces, it’s like a jigsaw puzzle, if you can put it together, together, you’ll both be in synch. A Piscean vibe of wisdom, kindness and deep caring settles over you both when this work is done. And… if you’re single, maybe it’s a Pisces person who’s going to enter your life this spring and become a life partner in all arenas of your realm. A true ally.

Head here for everything you need to know about being an Aquarius

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Try to see things through their eyes (Picture: Kerry King)

Pisces spring 2026 love life cards: Virgo, Unlock New Insight, Uncharted Territory

Meaning: Definitely ‘opposites attract’ chemistry swirling around you this spring — maybe literally with your opposite sign of Virgo, maybe by taking a new route, direction, outlook or mindset with your current partner. Be different. Seek different. Act different.

Unlocking new insight is probably one of the most valuable things a relationship can gift to us; the ability to see the world through another’s perspective. Rarely do we get that chance, except through folk we trust and are close to.

You are heading into uncharted territory with someone, maybe more commitment or more intensity or more unique chemistry than you’ve ever experienced before. Don’t get jumpy or nervous, stick with it, because this is growth, this is life changing even. Let them show you how they see the world. It will change everything.

The Libra Full Moon reveals uncomfortable truths — your star sign’s tarotscope


The Libra Full Moon reveals uncomfortable truths — your star sign’s tarotscope
Here’s what you need to face up to now (Picture: Getty/Metro)

The Full Moon in Libra on April 2 shines a bright, unflinching light on our relationships — and not everything it reveals will feel comfortable.

Libra is the sign of balance, fairness and connection, so this lunation asks: where are things out of sync? Where are you over-giving, under-valuing yourself, or avoiding a truth to keep the peace?

Full Moons bring clarity, closure and turning points. This one is about seeing things as they really are — in love, friendships, and even your relationship with yourself.

It’s not about blame, but about honesty. Because once you see the truth, you can finally decide what needs to shift. Here, the tarot guides you towards what your star sign needs to face up to now

Aries

March 21 to April 20

aries star sign
Not everything needs to be 50/50 (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon in Libra: The Chariot

Meaning: The Chariot shines an unflinching light on the shared purpose/aligned goals aspect of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you are not necessarily pulling in the same direction with folk that you should be.

This is solvable. Not every goal or ambition or project has to be shared and maybe your (or their) expectation that they should be is flawed. Separate what you work on together vs solo, and make it clear. Then talk about what you do work on together, what requires both of your energy and attention and resources, and make a plan about it. Clarity can repair the cracks.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

taurus star sign
Are you wearing rose-coloured glasses? (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Taurus for the Full Moon in Libra: Nine of Cups

Meaning: The Nine of Cups shines an unflinching light on the idealised aspects of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you are projecting a fantasy ‘gloss’ over the reality of someone you wish would act as you need them to. But they’re not. And the only one being exhausted or impacted by this pretence and the effort it takes is you, which is like a double whammy of disappointment.

Taurus, let it be what it is. Resolve not to make excuses, overcompensate, or step in to help. Spend at least a week with their ‘raw’ behaviour and build you notes, evidence and thoughts about it. And then it’s time to talk, don’t leave this hanging. Deal with it. Head on.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Gemini
Let them make the first move for once (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Gemini for the Full Moon in Libra: Six of Coins

Meaning: The Six of Coins shines an unflinching light on the mutual support and quid pro quo aspect of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you give more than you get (all Geminis are built generous) and the attention/energy/resource flows one way. This is not sustainable, soon you will come to resent them.

Step back. Stop giving. Give them the gift of your absence or neutrality. And see what happens. The awful truth is that if nothing happens, you know this was all your hard work and not one scrap of effort from them. But I think there will be something, I think they will notice the shift and lean in to see what’s going on. Then you can talk. Real talk.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

cancer star sign
Shake things up this Full Moon (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Cancer for the Full Moon in Libra: The Fool

Meaning: The Fool shines an unflinching light on the need for new faces or energy in your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you have fallen into a rut, a habit, a pattern with your approach or actions around your relationships. It’s a Groundhog Day moment.

It’s time for a shake up, a glow up, a change, a surge of new ideas and inputs. Resolve that this is a year for making new friends, trying different places or activities with folk, not replaying the same old same old, repairing breaches or drifts that have gone on for too long, and basically looking with fresh eyes at your family, love and social life. So much could change for the better and you will feel the benefits.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Cancer

Leo

July 24 to August 23

leo star sign
Consistency is key (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Leo for the Full Moon in Libra: The Wheel of Fortune

Meaning: The Wheel of Fortune shines an unflinching light on the volatile, often hot/cold, nature of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you can be inconsistent in your attention towards others and, over time, they can take that as meaning you don’t really care. And you do. You just get distracted, attracted and magnetised by other stuff.

Leo, notice the patterns here, see the history and story of your friendships and love affairs and where you have drifted away whilst they waited… and then didn’t. You can change this pattern with conscious attentiveness… do you wish to?

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

virgo star sign
Overthinking is toxic (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Virgo for the Full Moon in Libra: Nine of Swords

Meaning: The Nine of Swords shines an unflinching light on the anxiety and worry you can project into your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you overthink stuff, come to negative conclusions and then almost will them into real life.

What we think about… we attract. So you are in more control than you may realise over your relationship outcomes and, actually, it’s an ‘easy’ job of just worrying less and having fun in the moment more. Is that so bad? Not at all. Live for now, savour the magic you make together, forget the past and don’t dread the future. Easy!

Libra

September 24 to October 23

libra star sign
No more doormat (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Libra for the Full Moon in Libra: The Emperor

Meaning: The Emperor shines an unflinching light on the power dynamics in your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you are often done to, vs being the doer, that you often cede influence to others for the sake of a quiet life. But every inch yielded soon becomes a mile.

Some folk are never content with what they have or wield over you, they always want more. And you then have to draw a boundary, made all the harder because time has passed and things are taken for granted. Resolve to set tighter boundaries and fairer dynamics from the start in future. Start as you mean to go on, and this won’t keep happening.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

scorpio star sign
Different strokes for different folks (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Scorpio for the Full Moon in Libra: Ten of Wands

Meaning: The Ten of Wands shines an unflinching light on the intensity score of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you sometimes go all in, too hard and too fast, and then this isn’t reciprocated and the whole thing falls apart — when maybe a gentler pace and expectation could’ve set the scene for a blossoming bond.

Not everyone is as fearless and high octane as you are. Not everyone can cope with the massive passion, ambition and fascination you have for those you truly love and want to be around. Let folk be as they are, let the pace and tone of your bonds unfold and build naturally, and don’t worry about the ‘small stuff’. Relax and accept folk, and you will enjoy other people a lot more.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

sagittarius star sign
Slow down, Sag (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Sagittarius for the Full Moon in Libra: The Star

Meaning: The Star shines an unflinching light on the tendency to overhype, and then crash and burn in, your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you tend to place unrealistic expectations ideals on folk quite quickly, when things start well, and then it’s hard to keep that up. Then when it falters, you lose interest; onto the next.

The pattern of highs and lows is common with many Sagittarian folk because you live at a high energy level and need continual stimulus and excitement. It can be tiring though, right? So settle down, relax, let things get boring even… they’ll soon pick up again. You can’t live at a million miles an hour 24/7.

Tarot card for Capricorn for the Full Moon in Libra: Ten of Coins

Meaning: The Ten of Coins shines an unflinching light on the longevity aspect of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you crave certainty, stability and, yes, longevity so much that you can almost end up weighing up whether people are ‘worth’ your time and effort, then quickly writing off connections that don’t measure up.

But maybe you’re too hasty sometimes. Not everyone is as steadfast, reliable and consistent as you, in fact rarely. So you may need to give folk some leeway about how they show up for you, within reason. Don’t write them off too quickly, there’s more to a good bond than how often, or for how long, they’re around.

Tarot card for Aquarius for the Full Moon in Libra: Justice

Meaning: Justice shines an unflinching light on the purity and transparency aspect of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you crave the company of folk who are overtly and consistently ethical, honest and almost ‘open books’ in terms of how you see them.

Purity and morality matter to you. Sometimes, though, you can place that on their political or ideological opinions and posturing rather than their actions, daily struggles and heroic deeds that pass by quietly. See deeper into people than what they present to you. Look beyond labels and placards and opinions. You can disagree with folk and still enjoy a beautiful bond. Don’t miss out.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Put the past behind you (Picture: Getty/Metro)

Tarot card for Pisces for the Full Moon in Libra: Six of Cups

Meaning: The Six of Cups shines an unflinching light on the nostalgic aspect of your relationships. The truth you can’t now unsee is that you can compare and favour past bonds over present ones. Romanticising the past (almost as a form of escapism) can sour your experience and enjoyment of what’s right in front of you. Be wary of this habit.

What’s done is done. Relationships fade and fall for a reason. Be honest with yourself about this, not to undermine your whole feeling and memory bank about the past, but just to process and ‘park it’ so that you’re not always wondering what might have been. Give yourself permission to fully embrace the present.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

aries star sign
You’re ready to do what needs to be done (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Tower

Meaning: Spring is like your era of being a superhero. It plays to your strengths, amplifies your skills and charges your energy to maximum levels. So let’s be bold and do something big, okay?

The Tower asks you to smash down something that is false, fading or negative in your life. It’s something you know all too well but have perhaps felt powerless to tackle before. Now, though, you can do it, you can face it and overcome it.

There’s an element of home truth here, of saying what has not been said, of accepting a hard truth, of letting something die off or leave as a result. And good riddance. You will feel nothing but relief and freedom. Get to it, Aries!

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Queen of Wands

Meaning: The Queen of Wands is the queen of spring itself — Wands links to this season, while she is all about adventure, purpose, dynamic and bold moves, creativity, feeling fulfilled and in flow with what you’re doing and building.

Be her. Let this energy and power flow through you and galvanise you to make power moves this week that a ‘winter version’ of you would only dream of! Everything will fall into place and come to you naturally, everything will feel like it’s meant to be. See your life as an adventure and you as the main character.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Gemini
A direct approach is key (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Ace of Swords

Meaning: Spring is a truthful season because you can’t build on fallow ground; you can’t pretend something is what it’s not, if you want results and growth and creation from it. So say what’s really going on, how you truly feel, what drives you, where you need to get to, what help you expect from others, what rewards and results are in play.

Be honest. Start off on the right foot in all of your new enterprises and ideas. Don’t bow to what you think others want. Put your needs out there to be met. There may be compromises and shifts to adapt to, but that’s okay. What matters is that they know what you’re all about and are working with the full, authentic you that makes all the magic happen!

cancer star sign
It’s all going on this week, Cancer (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Chariot

Meaning: The Chariot is your sign’s tarot card so this is a major week for you. Purpose, movement, change, progression. Thinking about where you’re heading and making power moves to get there faster and easier.

When you’re activated and galvanised by a mission, you are literally unstoppable. You have all the powers of persuasion, creativity, and force to push through any agenda. And you are truly activated this week.

If you’re thinking of holidaying, travelling, moving, changing home or location or buying a new vehicle then this is the week to do it. Put your back into getting someplace good. Things will move fast.

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Ace of Coins

Meaning: Spring is a planting season, a time to sow seeds you want to nurture and see come to fruition in the year ahead. The Ace of Coins makes this doubly true for you, Leo, and it’s an invitation to put down promising new ideas, pitches, investments and schemes that serve your health, wealth, work and home.

What you start now will carry you through 2026. What you decide is a priority now will become the influencer of your future self and life. So choose wisely and shrewdly. What really matters? That is what you need to tend to.

August 24 to September 23

virgo star sign
To the Virgo go the spoils (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Ten of Wands

Meaning: You are switched on and working hard all year round, Virgo, you rarely step back and take a time out. So, this spring, the Ten of Wands suggests maybe you take a load off and relax more. Most of the hard work is done. You didn’t slack off all winter, you kept the home fires burning and the plates all spinning.

Now the air is lighter and brighter, take your R and R. Restore and repair. Relax and rejuvenate. Breathe deeply, walk out, sleep deeply, eat well, be calm and mindful. Take up a new hobby. Take time off. Be good and kind to yourself, you’ve earned it.

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Judgement

Meaning: Now the days are lighter and the air is sweeter, you can look in the mirror and see a clearer picture of yourself. Judgement asks you to sit back and take stock this week of all that’s changed, happened, impacted you, ended and begun.

It’s been a lot since the start of winter, right? You have changed, my friend, and you’re ready to notice where, how and why. You’re ready to acknowledge that some routines or priorities may need revisiting too. You will bring clarity to your personal development ideas this week and feel settled in your new selfhood.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

scorpio star sign
Time to dig a little deeper (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The Hermit

Meaning: Spring’s lighter nights mean you get longer to be awake and alert and thinking about things. The Hermit is a call to enlightenment, a call to reflection and research, a call to discovery. What’s on your mind? What do you wish to learn, seek or understand?

Use the extra hours to invest in a project that you haven’t previously had time or energy for, but that truly matters to you. Use the extra daylight to read, study and meditate in nature. What you come to understand this spring will be game-changing, and potentially alter the very way you even think about your own life and its purpose and meaning. Deeply philosophical and moving insights lie in store. Go find them out.

You’re fully tapped into your emotions this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Queen of Cups

Meaning: Blissful and emotive and healing days lie ahead. Stroll into them with high hopes and good graces. You are being led by spirit guides, energies, unseen forces and intuition, and working with your moods in the moment, rather than pushing or forcing actions that don’t align.

You’ll notice new thoughts and emotions coming through and how they change your energy levels and interactions. You’ll learn when you’re at your best, and why. You’ll notice what needs to change in your environment or routine for you to feel good. You’ll have deep, meaningful and personal conversations with folk that open up new ideas to you. You are going to be like the heartfelt Queen of Cups this week – enjoy the vibes.

capricorn star sign
Prune away what’s no longer growing (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Three of Swords

Meaning: I write this watching my gardener cutting back the shrubbery and trees, getting rid of dead, dying, poisoned, overgrown foliage. And it makes me think of this card — the Three of Swords is permission to surgically remove whatever pains you or stops you from growing in your realm; self-talk that undercuts your confidence, jealous or controlling folk, roles or chores that drag your mood down, places that feel flat or draining, and connections that are one way or unfair.

Notice the thorns in your side. And then, methodically, one by one, pick them out and cast them away. You deserve better.

January 22 to February 19

AQUARIUS star sign
A beautiful springtime energy (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Ace of Cups

Meaning: This is a fertility card, which feels very apt for spring. So if you’re thinking of starting or growing your family, then this is a great omen. It can also mean a new relationship — romance or deep friendship — lies ahead. Maybe a new passion project or creative role. Maybe a lovely pet or houseplant, even!

Something new will be ‘birthed’ into your life this week and will make all the difference. Immediate attraction, love, respect and warmth. It’s a good feeling and you can make it last if you nurture and protect this fledgling bond. Prioritise relationships and creativity this week.

Is the risk worth the potential consequences? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: The Devil

Meaning: Spring is a season of fertility, lust, growth and awakening… and here comes The Devil card to make sure your desires are well and truly leading the way!

Do what thou wilt, Pisces. But know the consequences and be ready to own them, if you’re going to do something risky. Think through your options and their knock-on impacts. Project onto a ‘future you’ handling all the next steps or outcomes. Still look good? If so, crack on. If not, think twice. Better safe than sorry, sometimes.

Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

The New Moon in Pisces this week is an eye-opener; specifically a third eye opener.

Expect to experience psychic phenomena, messages and events. It’s a week of woo!

Tune into your intuition, expand your mind, write down your dreams, scry, moon bathe, read your cards, ask for spirit messages and guidance, gaze into flame or incense smoke and see what feelings and ideas emerge from your heartspace.

Let’s use the tarot cards to see what message is ready for you to receive from beyond the veil. What will this New Moon awaken for you?

Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Empress

Meaning: This is a loving, maternal, feminine and nurturing energy who is surrounding you with love from beyond, from the other side, from your ancestors and passed over loved ones. Can you feel them?

Their message is to say how loved you are, on this side of the veil as well as the other. Don’t doubt yourself, be hard on yourself, or second guess yourself. Act like a person who is supported, cheered on, encouraged and admired. Lean on the support of others, they are all here to help.

Do you feel super clear-eyed and minded right now? This is your King of Swords guide helping you to see what needs doing, and why, and how.

Their message is to ask you to plan ahead, lay down a strategy that gets you where you want to go, and walk the walk single-mindedly, even ruthlessly. Make this about you. Do what needs to be done.

Gemini
Your spirit message this week comes from the Eight of Wands (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Eight of Wands

Meaning: This is a chorus of voices, maybe a collective of spirits or ancestors or a tribal kind of force or energy which is sending you many, many omens and signs right now. Maybe you keep on seeing angel numbers or repeat words or symbols?

Their message is to remind you that your Gemini superpower is communication. No one can weave words like you, and this is a gift. Use it. Make moves that no one can because no one else can manipulate a message or network in the skilful and persuasive way that you can. Talk yourself in or out of something. The power of words is yours.

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Ace of Wands

Meaning: This is a single-minded force or energy that is fiery, sparkling, exciting and motivating, and it serves to provoke a new beginning for you.

The message is to make a bold leap into the unknown this week, one inspired by excitement and optimism, that might not feel sensible or even feasible. But you must do it anyway. You may not land where you think, but you will land someplace new and interesting.

Travel, education, lifestyle change, new purpose, creative skill and career change are all on the table – see where your attention is drawn…

leo star sign
Your spirit message this week comes from The Moon (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Leo for this week: The Moon

Meaning: This is a mysterious, feminine and lunar energy surrounding you with intrigue and illusion, challenging you to see and find your way through the mist to the truth you are seeking. You may feel there is more to something that what is shown. It’s a quest. A quest for truth and transparency.

Let the New Moon be a time to reflect, question, and validate the facts as they stand, and then ask for the answers they beg. The message for you now is to probe, dig, investigate and establish the whole truth. Powerful change will come from this mission.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

virgo star sign
Your spirit message this week comes from The Star (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Star

Meaning: This is a pure-hearted, truthful, authentic and stirring energy who is surrounding you with good fortune, luck, opportunity and possibility to help you manifest a dream come true. What do you wish for? Imagine this week you meet a genie with a lamp and are granted a wish. What would it be?

All the genie asks of you is to make your own overt, bold steps in your dream’s direction, and it will activate the help you need. Is that a good deal? If so, then take it, act on it, and manifest your most heartfelt desire – this kind of help doesn’t come around that often.

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Knight of Wands

Meaning: This is a swashbuckling, fun-loving, adventurous energy who is surrounding you with the urge and desire to head out into the world on a fresh adventure or quest. Can you feel the call of the wild?

Their message is to say it’s time to explore, experiment, expand and escape your comfort zones and patterns and routines. Throw caution to the wind and do something bold and fresh this week, then follow it up with something else. The spirit of adventure is visiting with you and won’t leave until you’ve had a good time!

Your spirit message this week comes from the Eight of Coins (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Eight of Coins

Meaning: This is from someone who was incredibly hardworking, never had it easy, but kept going. Their resilience, courage and humble strength was an inspiration and example. This might be a passed loved one or an ancestor, or just a spirit guide drawn to you.

Their message is to say you are doing great, doing your best, and it’s working! It might not always feel that way but you mustn’t give up or quit. Keep putting one foot in front of the other this week because a piece of good fortune, a breakthrough, lies ahead for you — even though you might doubt it. Keep going. You’ve got this, Scorpio.

Meaning: This is a masculine, sharp-minded and clear-eyed spirit or energy who is reasoning with you to make the bold leap, exit or departure you’ve been mulling over for at least the last six months.

Their message is to say it’s time to make that move now. This is the window of opportunity. And it’s been such a long time coming that it won’t feel sad or hard, the grieving has already been done, the penny dropped long ago that your heart wasn’t in this. Just bring clarity to the situation now and follow through on what your heart is telling you.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

capricorn star sign
Your spirit message this week comes from the Eight of Cups (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Eight of Cups

Meaning: This is a nagging feeling in your heart that you’ve not fulfilled something, made a mistake, let an opportunity slip through your fingers. And you need to turn face and acknowledge whatever it is. Some unseen force keeps bringing it up for your attention.

Their message is to you should just say how it is, what you regret, let that be a part of your past story, and turn to the future feeling unburdened. You’re going to get a second chance, but you need to purge this old regret first. Once you do, the new shining glowing sparkling opportunity will show itself, and all will be forgotten!

Their message is to tell you they are standing shoulder to shoulder with you, giving you all of their power and wisdom and resilience, so that you can tackle whatever it is that you’re dreading or worrying about. Now is the time to face it and unpick it and address it. You will be given all you need, good fortune will speed things along, the results will be positive, and it will be easier than you think. They’ve got your back, so stride forth with confidence.

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: The Tower

Meaning: This is a powerful unseen force that will move in and out of your life abruptly this week, likely taking away something painful, fading or false with it. This energy moves fast and with precision and force, almost like ripping off a plaster, provoking a moment of ouch! And then lasting relief and healing.

Their message is to say get ready for an unexpected event or revelation that collapses something you knew, deep down, was wrong. Your intuition is correct. Forces are at work to prove that to you, so don’t deny or suppress it. This is a good thing!

Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Jupiter has been in retrograde since November 2025 and turns back direct this week.

During this time, you may have been returning to your roots in some respect, thinking about the past and its impact on the present, generational patterns and traits, bonds you want to strengthen… or indeed loosen.

Now the retrograde is over, you emerge with a clear sense of what matters to you about your family, ancestors, past and background. It’s time this week to make your mark here, to set out as you mean to go on.

What shift will you be executing? Let’s ask the tarot cards…

Aries

March 21 to April 20

aries star sign
You are working with a new perspective on the past this week as shown by the Nine of Swords (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Nine of Swords

Meaning: You’ve realised you have carried unspoken dread, insecurity or fear that comes from events or establishing beliefs experienced in childhood. And you’re ready to address that, to voice it, to say out loud how you think you’ve absorbed these fears from what was once the case long ago.

The power of saying things out loud cannot be overestimated. Find a confidant or friend (or even your mirror) and speak about this. Put down this weight. Release it.

April 21 to May 21

taurus star sign
You are working with a new perspective on the past this week as shown by the Three of Coins (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Three of Coins

Meaning: You now understand just how loved you were (and are) and that things you resisted or felt were hard were all done from love. This kind of understanding often deepens when we have our own children or just hear other folks’ stories and see the differences.

Folk may have made mistakes, but it doesn’t diminish the love they had towards you, and that is precious, worth holding on to, and perhaps revisiting and celebrating now. Share love with those from your past. They did their best.

Gemini
You are working with a new perspective on the past this week as shown by The Emperor (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Emperor

Meaning: You’re noticing how you were ‘shaped’ by a dominant figure in your childhood (likely a parent, likely a father or fatherly figure, but not necessarily).

Their discipline, approval, strictness and rules were boundary-creating and kept you within range of the ‘straight and narrow’ but maybe also tempered something in you that is naturally wilder, louder, bigger… and maybe now, as an adult, you can give that side of your nature permission to come out and play! Be wholly and fully you. Rebel.

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Magician

Meaning: You’ve looked back at ‘little you’ and seen yourself clearly, especially your natural, innate talents and skills and interests. You’re realising you were born hardwired with certain powers and they’re the ones you should lean on in this life.

You may have circled other careers and experiences, but you’re ready to return to the ‘little you’ talents and interests you’ve always known were there. These form the blueprint of your potential for success. Work with it, enhance it, build on it. This is a new beginning.

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Knight of Cups

Meaning: You are recognising your love language and defaults in relationships as being a product of the examples and environment from your childhood, what you saw growing up, what was presented as normal. We all have this blessing or curse!

The truth is that we can see the signs, recognise the patterns, and if they’re leading us down blind alleys, we can challenge it, we can change it. Do you want to? This is your love project homework this week.

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Devil

Meaning: You are noticing repeat patterns, habits, self-limiting beliefs or behaviours that you, honestly, think have started and carried on in your life since childhood. They are so ingrained you never really noticed yourself doing it. But you do now. It’s one of those ‘can’t unsee it’ moments.

Break the chains, run wild and free from your old selfhood, smash through limiting ideas and opinions and challenge your thinking, prove yourself wrong. Change is afoot and it will liberate you.

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Two of Swords

Meaning: You’ve come to realise that choices you made in your past do not define or confine you. It’s the truth that they shaped your past experience but they don’t have to dictate your future path.

You can simply make new choices. Reunite, forgive, turn away, turn back, say yes, say no, revisit, return, move on. Whatever it is you regret, just make a new choice and put the wheels in motion this week.

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Death

Meaning: This card is your sign’s actual talisman in the tarot deck, so this is a powerful pivot week, a transformation and transition lies ahead. Between now and your birthday, you are leaving the old, dead and false elements in your realm behind. Shedding and purging. And, along the way, you’re picking up new people, ideas, options and opportunities.

This links to childhood because you’re returning to your authentic nature and talents, your true selfhood, your original character before ‘adulting’ kicked in. This feels liberating, powerful and compelling. This is a major year for you.

Meaning: You’ve discovered there are secrets and illusions in your past that you could now, with technology and everything being as it is, uncover and resolve. Are you up for a mystery? Are you up for playing detective?

Whether this is ancestry and lineage research, replaying an old event, getting the truth of a situation you were lied to about, you know, deep down, things are not all as they seem or were presented to you before. But now you can crack the code and get the truth. Make it a mission this week.

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Seven of Wands

Meaning: You’ve come to recognise a pattern of rivalry or competition in your past that has perhaps made you who you are today. Perhaps a friend or cousin who you competed with, perhaps sibling rivalry, perhaps trying to impress a parent or teacher.

Whatever it was, it ignited a competitive streak in you that has long lasted and served. But maybe you need to learn to conserve this streak for when it best serves, and put it away when it does not. Perhaps that is the lesson of this retrograde.

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Ace of Coins

Meaning: You’ve worked through your roots and influences, from childhood, regarding life’s foundations – health, wealth, work, home. You know where you’ve picked up good values and habits, and where you want to branch out and do it differently, and this self awareness feels positive and empowering.

There’s no blame or pity or regret; it’s all about seeing patterns, working with them, and using your experience to make good sound choices now. You are building something new. A new year-long project in one of your foundation areas is beginning.

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Ten of Coins

Meaning: You’ve seen your life story in its entirety so far, extracted key lessons and wisdoms, cemented magical memories, celebrated the highs and shown compassion for the lows and feel, in the end, a tremendous sense of gratitude and excitement that there’s still so much more to write, do and create.

This story is far from finished, and you know the best is yet to come. You feel excited and optimistic this week and ready to start designing your best-ever era in life. This is a true starting point.

Attraction is an irresistible force… not much can get in its way. Let’s use the tarot cards to give you a clue about what (or who) might be coming along to rock your world during this transit.

March 21 to April 20

aries star sign
Look out for a dreamy Water sign (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Ace of Cups

Meaning: Venus moving into your own sign is a powerful love injection to your relationship realm. The Ace of Cups reveals you are going to meet someone new (possibly a Water sign — Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio) and feel an immediate attraction.

This could be ‘the one’, so if you’re free to pursue it then do so full force. If you’re not, then maybe this is true friendship or just of those bittersweet ‘could have been’ moments. Fertility is also a factor of this card so if that’s on your agenda, now is a good time! If it’s not, be extra careful!

April 21 to May 21

You’re turning heads, Taurus (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Eight of Wands

Meaning: You are ruled over by Venus so your love life always gets a nice kickback when the planet moves signs. And boy will this one work hard for you! Aries energy is direct, passionate and lustful, and the Eight of Wands is a massive communication card, so expect to hear just how many folk are attracted to you, and how intensely they feel. You might even find yourself being fought over, or part of a love triangle.

You will be flirting and getting lovely compliments all month long and it will really boost your confidence, which in turn attracts even more attention. Revel in this, enjoy it. If you’re single, I don’t think you will be by the time Venus moves on again!

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Seven of Swords

Meaning: Jealousy is a strange creature, lurking and slinking and then rearing its ugly head from the shadows in passive aggressive ways. Be on the look out for it this Venus in Aries, Gemini, both from those around you and maybe even within your own self.

Don’t let any temptations, unrequited attractions or unfair behaviours permeate your upbeat vibe and mood. Don’t wander down eerie pathways with folk you don’t trust. Stick to the straight and narrow. It feels like people are jealous of your powers of attraction. Let them be. It’s actually a compliment.

The World is your oyster (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The World

Meaning: This is going to be a powerful transit for you, Cancer, so tune in. Venus in Aries stirs up The World for you, so a chapter is closing, a goal has been reached, a lesson learned, a new dynamic activated that will lead to relationship changes.

Might be a new suitor, possibly a Capricorn, maybe linked to overseas. Might be a trip that you book that is going to be the gateway to a new era in your love life. Might be the end of a phase of stagnation or challenge that leads you, with new lessons and habits on board, to smooth seas and plain sailing. Expect a transition, closure of something and the beginning of something else (better).

Leo

July 24 to August 23

leo star sign
Good luck being coy about this (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Nine of Swords

Meaning: Venus in Aries is super direct, forthright, honest and transparent. You will be wearing your heart on your sleeve, even if you try to be subtle, and it might make you feel a little bit vulnerable somehow, like your inner worries or self-limiting beliefs are on show. Talk about your fears in relationships. Get them out on the table with someone you trust and process them. Find root causes and evidence, or even debunk them!

We all carry baggage and the Nine of Swords wants you to use the honest energy of this transit to put yours down, filter through it, and lighten the mental or soul load you’re carrying. Move ahead lighter, brighter and with your confidence restored.

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Hierophant

Meaning: You know, this card can suggest engagement, marriage, very deep commitment in love readings, so someone may be getting down on one knee this Venus in Aries season! But something steadfast, lasting, and true is brewing in your love life, whatever situation you’re in.

Question how much you want what you’ve got because it can be yours forever if it’s what you truly want. If you’re single, this card can indicate clever, respected Taureans, a person of status who is admired by all. You will feel safe, protected, and reassured in their presence and this is like catnip to you! All in all, a very happy love life phase awaits you.

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Three of Wands

Meaning: Luck is going to play a massive factor in the success of your love life this Venus (your ruling planet) in Aries (your sister sign). The cosmic stars are aligning just for you! So, make a wish and then pay attention to the signs, omens and unseen forces swirling around you. Coincidences, chance encounters, de ja vu moments and lucid dreams will all feature to help bring you towards your wish.

If you’re single, look out for Fire signs (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) and maybe something linked to luck or fortune being a part of your first meeting. Cupid has plans for you and is pulling strings — please notice his good work!

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

scorpio star sign
Your vision is laser-focused (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: King of Wands

Meaning: Aries is a very ambitious star sign (ruled by Mars, as your sign once was, before Pluto was discovered). So, you’re feeling bold and purposeful about your love life, you know what — or who — you want and you’re going to make that happen. No games or dilly dallying, you’re saying it straight and you’re asking the questions you want answered.

Your purposefulness is attractive, charismatic, and you will get the results you hope for, so be confident. Look out for Fire signs (Leo, Aries or Sagittarius) who match your direct, passionate energy because you could be forging a ‘power couple’ dynamic with the right person.

Stability is just on the horizon (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Temperance

Meaning: Temperance is your sign’s card in the tarot arcana so this is a strong Venus in Aries transit for speaking up, saying how it is, asking for what you want to happen, and getting it! Be honest. Be upfront.

Things might’ve felt uncertain or up in the air in your closest relationship recently, or if you’re single then maybe you’ve felt unsettled and like you’re seeking an anchor or steadying presence in your life. Grounding and stability await you, with the right person. You can make a home in the right relationship, feeling secure but not trapped (a key balance for your freedom-loving sign). Look out for fellow Sagittarians too — the attraction will feel powerful.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

capricorn star sign
Old wounds be gone (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Three of Swords

Meaning: Venus in Aries is going to be revealing, enlightening and healing for you, Capricorn. If you’re nursing a broken heart, then expect to feel really different — and better — over the coming three weeks, like you’re surgically removing the painful and tender parts. If you’re doing good, don’t worry, this Three of Swords is likely to relate to an old wound, maybe a betrayal that has always say heavily with you.

Something will shift, be revealed, or get said, that will cast new light on things, and possibly vindicate or relieve you of the weight you’ve carried here. Maybe you drop an outdated self-limiting belief about yourself in relationships. An echo will emerge, remind you, and make it all better somehow. Healing is your theme.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

AQUARIUS star sign
Your love life is on the move in more ways than one (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: The Chariot

Meaning: Venus in Aries is direct and dynamic, just like the forceful, purposeful Chariot. Journeys, trips, holidays and location expansions or moves are also well starred with this card so maybe you fall (deeper) in love on the move this March. A Cancerian lover could also be on the cards, possibly someone you meet on a journey, so keep your eyes peeled on the daily commute or routine!

Things are happening, stuff is moving forward, and energy is swirling around your love life, in a good way. You know what you want and you’re ready to invest and commit to bring that to your realm. No more doubts, second-guessing, or games.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

pisces star sign
Death is the tarot’s card of transformation (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Death

Meaning: Venus in Aries is going to reveal the fault lines, the fading or false energies around you, and the connections you need to sever ties from once and for all. Goodbye any and all lingering exes, situationships, unrequited dalliances, and hello to new, powerful, loving, strong energy and attractions.

A Scorpio might enter your life and send your mind and heart spinning, but either way a new attraction will certainly emerge — maybe even with the one you’re with (if you’re happily attached) that heralds a new era. It feels like everything has changed, for the better, and it truly will this Venus in Aries season. Get ready for transformation.

You can spot a million opportunities ripe for plucking right now, and you should act on them! Be super busy, be the whirlwind of Mercurial intellect and ideas that you truly are at heart.

Movement is important – be that a journey, expansion, trip, location change, new vehicle or home move. Where you are, your environment, can dictate much of your mood, intent, and energy. Look around.

Meaning: A fresh start with a long-term aim and commitment. This isn’t a radical, overnight transition, this is playing the long game to win. What are you investing in? Choose from health, wealth, work or home. Think a year out. With sustained commitment and investment, what impact could you make on one of these areas?

Is it worth it? Exciting? Motivating? Filter your ideas, prioritise, discuss, research… and pick one to drive this 2026. This is where your real New Year starts!

Pay attention to your dreams, listen to intuition and gut instinct, hear the voices, notice the coincidences and omens, feel the de ja vu – and look out for the number 3!

Something is communicating to you, urging you to listen and take heed. A new, positive angle, idea or opening is coming and the guides want you to be ready, willing, and able to seize it!

Whether formal or informal, education opportunities emerge that look good or beneficial or interesting to you this week then say yes, resoundingly. Take a class, join a circle, read a book, reserve your place, attend a lecture. Education is never wasted, it’s an investment in you. Who knows where this new knowledge could lead…

Meaning: Whatever pains you… be glad it has shown you its face directly so you can identify it, isolate it, and surgically remove it from your realm! Take no prisoners. Give no second chances. If they have hurt you, and they don’t acknowledge and atone for it, then they deserve your absence.

This applies to anything happening in the last three months. Don’t be so forgiving as to put yourself back in the firing line. Protect yourself.

Mercury Retrograde is back — but it’s not what you think


Mercury Retrograde is back — but it’s not what you think
It’s a feared time for many (Picture: Getty)

Mercury Retrograde has become a bit of a villain in the astrology game — the time when travel plans go awry, technology gremlins come out to play and communications go haywire.

We’re shortly entering into another one, starting February 26 and lasting until March 20, with an influence stretching up to April 9 (the shadow retrograde, but that’s another story).

Mercury isn’t actually going backwards, as implied by the word ‘retrograde’ — that’s an optical illusion caused by the way Mercury and Earth orbit the sun.

What does happen astrologically is that Mercury, the planetary ruler of communication, technology and short journeys, appears to slow down and reverse. And this is what is deemed to send all those areas into a spin.

Pisces is helping us through

February’s retrograde lands entirely in Pisces, a mutable Water sign ruled by intuition, emotion and imagination.

This somehow mutes Mercury’s sharp edges and makes this transit more of a peaceful, creative, dare I say pleasant event,allowing you to step back from being busy and get a mental and emotional reset — especially around how you express yourself and understand others.

Pisces is the wise old soul of the zodiac, and when it holds a retrograde it softens it and turns the focus inwards, rather than onto the outside world.

Our inner world gets a spotlight: dreams, creative ideas, unresolved conversations and long-held assumptions rise to the surface. The conversation we really need right now is with ourselves.

Who will feel it most?

Although everyone experiences Mercury Retrograde, some signs might get stimulated in the following particular ways.

Water signs (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) may experience heightened sensitivity, which leads them towards a key insight or awareness of a personal shift, outlook, or value they weren’t aware of before.

Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius) will be busily and productively revisiting half-baked ideas, projects and items on their to-do lists that need completion and redrafting.

Signs with Pisces placements or angles (anyone with planets around mid-degrees in Pisces) will also feel this more strongly.

Never fear a Mercury Retrograde again

Despite the noise, Mercury Retrograde isn’t inherently bad. In fact, there are several major upsides:

  • It’s an excuse and invitation to step back from being busy and answering many demands, or starting new projects or goals. Review all that is already on the go and use this pause to re-establish priority order and key steps.
  • A quirk of the retrograde is enabling anyone closely working with communications to do edits and re-drafts on their material that will really work. Mercury rules writing, so its retrograde is a great time to go back and refine raw prose or drafts.
  • This often stirs up unresolved issues and unfinished business, giving you a chance to resolve, close, or restore what has been adrift.

This time round, the retrograde is in dreamy Pisces (Picture: Getty Images/iStockphoto)

This means these are the kind of activities you should prioritise for the coming three weeks until the planet is back direct:

  • Retreats, breaks, staycations, quiet restful phases away from deadlines and pressure.
  • Revisiting unfinished business and/or conversations. Scroll back through your phone for threads that stopped dead, run through your memory for group decisions still not made, ask your partner or closest ally what you need to finish off and resolve.
  • Pisces retrogrades are inward facing, so get into meditation, journaling, dream work and mindful walking in nature in your own company without any particular agenda or plan.

Essentially, forget the old trope that Mercury retrograde is a cosmic villain.

In 2026, especially with this Pisces cycle, it’s better seen as a chance to slow down, rethink and return to what truly matters.

Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

A really busy week cosmically with the aftermath of Valentine’s, a New Moon in Aquarius plus a solar eclipse and the start of Pisces season, which is the finale of the astrological year.

Relationship echoes and reflections, closure and final conclusions, invigoration and innovation of thought and ideas.

Your mind might be whirring and stirring, working overtime to keep up with all of this mental processing.

So… let’s use the tarot to ask what is ending and what is beginning for you in this pivotal week ahead.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

aries star sign
Seven of Swords represents what is ending and beginning for you this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Seven of Swords

Meaning: The end of the age of innocence when it comes to a person or situation that you truly hoped was going to treat you well, but deep down you’re realising it is not. Don’t panic or stress because this is a good thing.

Once you see this whole game clearly, you realise the role you’ve been designated, and you know it is simply not for you. This is something to step back from. And the even better news is that you can now divert and refocus your precious, wholesome, high-vibration energy into more aligned things that will bring you the rewards you deserve. Transfer your power consciously and deliberately.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

taurus star sign
Knight of Cups represents what is ending and beginning for you this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Knight of Cups

Meaning: One romantic or deep friendship connection withers on the vine, while another one takes root and starts to grow to the point it becomes visible. So, don’t linger where your affections aren’t wholly reciprocated. You’re ruled by Venus and too loving and precious to waste being used in a dead-end relationship.

Know your worth. Know your needs and deal breakers. If this is a flawed romantic bond, move back from it. Others are queueing to get to know you. If it’s a friendship, simply invest with a different circle for a while. See what happens when your attention is elsewhere — that’s the real acid test.

Gemini

Gemini
King of Wands represents what is ending and beginning for you this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: King of Wands

Meaning: The end of one wild adventure and the beginning of another. You always have a million things on the boil so you’re not fazed by the decline of a project or purpose, because it only means there’s room for one more.

A goal you held is ending, maybe nearing completion or you’re realising it’s not as relevant or resonant as it once was. You adapt, you flex, you shift and pivot. A new adventure is calling, possibly linked to travel, creativity, education or lifestyle. Tune in, take charge, draft a plan and take a first step this week. One in, one out.

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Hanged Man

Meaning: A major blockage is going to move the heck out of your way, at long last! And the key to it is not forcing things any longer, not even looking at it. Go off, do something else, be distracted… and magically not only will you care much less and think differently about this whole thing, but things will change without your glare of attention on it.

The limbo is over. The stagnation is done. So, get ready to leap into action because you’re making up for lost time and energy, it feels good to be moving again.

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Eight of Cups

Meaning: You are ready to admit defeat. You are going to pull out of something that has not panned out. Your pride is dented ever so slightly, hence why you kept pretending all was well, but enough is enough. And, Leo, I applaud you because it takes guts to admit you’re wrong… and the Universe agrees.

The minute you cut off this dead wood, you will feel nothing but relief and liberation, and that renewed vibration will attract a slew of new opportunities, invitations, attentions, and attractions. You will end the week glowing and vibing on a high level! So get to it. Chop and change.

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Five of Cups

Meaning: A period of mourning, grieving or regretting is coming to a close, and with it a sense of peace and ‘it is what it is and it’s okay’. You’ve changed, absorbed, processed, and accepted what has happened. This may have been something from long ago even — after all, the grief cycle is circular and eternal, right?

What starts now is a renewal of optimism, faith and self belief. You know you’ve endured a hardship, survived, and thrived. You feel stronger, wiser, more capable, and ready to flex those new muscles and test them out. Life doesn’t faze you. Get busy living.

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Eight of Wands

Meaning: One social circle or connection, that has served you well and provided ample events, gossip, intrigue and opportunity, is withering on the vine. You sense things have shifted, the mood is different, the attention level is not what it was. All relationships and circles have a season… and many don’t last beyond it.

Recognise this and start to look about for a new circle or person or activity or hobby… keep your eyes peeled for where you’re being intrigued and called to next, because it’s already going to be in sight. Within two months, you will be firmly and happily embroiled in a new group, feeling wanted and rewarded, and that is just what you deserve. Accept nothing less.

The Lovers represents what is ending and beginning for you this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The Lovers

Meaning: This card often signals a love triangle, a temptation, a distraction from the straight and narrow that is proving impossible to ignore. So, perhaps this week you will act on this impulse and find out whether the attractive new option is better, or not, than where you’re at. This might be in a relationship setting, might also be in work, family, home, or money.

Be mindful of what you’re trading or swapping, be aware of the consequences of disloyalty to any degree, act with fairness and integrity. What you do here will impact others. This is about where you fit in and serve, and maybe something is ready for refreshing or renewal, but maybe that is best done within the current parameters rather than escaping to new ones!

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Page of Cups

Meaning: A fledgling friendship, flirtation, project or creative idea is moving from your imagination and fantasy realm into real life. The wondering is over… and the finding out is beginning. Will it stand up to pressure? Is it real? Can it work? Don’t stay in fantasy mode, move into action mode and answer these questions.

You are a unique character able to manifest your ideas and visions easily and with flair and style. You move effortlessly from the mental to physical realm, always armed with good fortune and optimism. Start this new ‘thing’ enthusiastically, breathe life into your imaginings…

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Two of Coins

Meaning: The end of a dry spell, a fallow period, a time of lack and abstaining. Abundance is back! You can have it all. So, stop worrying and focusing on what you haven’t got (enough of) and welcome in what there is in your vicinity. Be open-hearted and expansive. Say yes.

Suddenly, the tables turn and you find all manner of new invitations, openings and opportunities are coming at you, like a green light has been switched on (spiritually, it has). This is a week to build, prosper and achieve. Say yes to life.

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Queen of Coins

Meaning: You are pivoting from apprentice to master. You are stepping up and taking responsibility and leaving behind the phase where you got to ask all the questions… now you’re the one who has to answer them!

This might manifest as a promotion, new role, change in relationship or home dynamics, shift in a family bond. It’s like moving into adult/parent mode after childhood. That’s an empowering thing, and you’re ready to use your newfound confidence and accountability to make the decisions you think are shrewd and positive. Show them what you can achieve when you’re in charge.

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Two of Cups

Meaning: The end of singledom, feeling isolated or lonely, being estranged from someone or losing the thread of your most important relationship’s core. You are back in business.

The Two of Cups sees you falling in love, healing the rift, coming back together stronger than ever, and creating a lasting bond, mutually adoring, with someone dear to you. This is truly, possibly, your best ever Valentine’s aftermath. Lean in and be romantic and loving! Fall (deeper) in love and revel in Cupid’s afterglow of celebrations.
