Mercury Retrograde is still upon us (double check your tech, comms, travel, and commerce plans and dealings) and we approach a Full Moon in Aquarius

Communication is a big theme this week – being direct and clear, landing messages well, hearing people properly, seeking to understand vs judge, sharing emotions and feeling bonded and understood.

Focus on your communications this week and the cosmic forces will conspire to make them positive dialogues, if you put the effort in. 

Let the tarot guide you as to what you should be talking about! 

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for this week: King of Wands

Meaning: Take charge of your social life, circle of friends, travel plans, and entertainment sector – basically how you spend and enjoy your leisure time.

The King of Wands is the boss of adventures and matches your Fire element, so the onus is on you to talk to your partner/family/friends about the things you think you could be doing together to have fin and excitement. They look to you for this kind of thing anyway as you’re the daredevil! Take the lead, organise some stuff, have a blast, enjoy your summer.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: The Hanged Man

Meaning: The Hanged Man has placed you in a limbo or stalemate recently, a frustrating roadblock that has scuppered your current plans and trajectory. So, surrender to it. Sit back and observe, analyse, think about this from other angles and points of view.

Refresh your perspective by asking for feedback from others. These are the conversations that will help open your eyes to new options and approaches this week and one of them will be the perfect key to unlock the door.

Gemini

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Ten of Coins

Meaning: Start a conversation this week about your long term plans regarding wealth, work, and home. Where and how do you want to live in the long run, and how is that funded, and what therefore does that mean for you – and maybe your partner or family?

The Ten of Coins is about a happy-ever-after. A long term goal that really shapes how you live in the present because it takes consistent investment and effort. It’s all worth it. Get support and alignment on your goal.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: King of Swords

Meaning: Cosy up to someone who can be a little spiky at times, but whom you respect enormously. This might be an older male, possible an Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) but certainly someone who is shrewd, clever, sometimes cold or cutting. You might avoid them at times, you might dread those conversations because of their bedside manner or ability to rattle you.

This time, come at it from a new angle. Be warm, curious, open-minded. Ask them how life is, ask for some advice, ask for feedback. Build a bridge with this person because they’re going to matter to you in the future, they have a role to play.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Queen of Coins

Meaning: You want to ignite a dialogue about a promotion or accessing greater scope or responsibility – maybe at work, maybe in an outside project or role, or even in your family. You can see how things should be done and how you can play a much bigger and more significant role in that.

You are, after all, a natural leader, and you’re ready now to assume that position and bring some clarity, motivation, and clout to this venture. Go talk to the people with influence, pitch your ideas, make your case, put in that application. It’s the right time.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Seven of Wands

Meaning: Seek out someone you consider a current, or past, rival or competitor in your realm and have a chat, a casual conversation, a friendly catch-up. They might be a Fire sign – Aries, Leo or Sagittarius – or possess that fiery nature.

They were someone you pitted or compared yourself against and perhaps you were even foes about something that mattered to you both. Time has passed, things have changed. You can learn something about yourself, and them, by just reaching out and saying hi this week.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Page of Cups

Meaning: You are ready for a powwow with your inner child. The Page of Cups sees your emotions being triggered and stirred by something that actually touches a nerve relating to your childhood or youth.

Sit down, someplace quiet, and journal this out. What triggered you? How do you feel? What event does this bring up from your past? Are the feelings the same? What could you do now that you perhaps couldn’t do then? This will yield fascinating insights to the connections between past and present. Do the homework!

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The Fool

Meaning: Make this a week for inviting new people into your life. The Fool is the tarot’s first card, patron saint of fresh starts and new beginnings, and asks you to smile at everyone, say hi, and generally be a welcoming presence wherever you go. You will be amazed how many new connections you can make!

Look out, especially, for Aquarius folk. Something will activate in your life as a result of one of these new people, they bring an exciting opportunity with them. Don’t discriminate, be a welcoming force.

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Knight of Cups

Meaning: Follow your heart this week and draw closer to people you’re attracted to – romantically and otherwise. Notice the chemistry between yourself and others. Acknowledge the magnetism you might feel towards certain people and pursue it. Say hi, ask them out, make a pitch, offer an invite.

See yourself as a catalyst for new relationships, see yourself as the initiator. Romance is very much on the cards this week, especially with sensual, creative Water signs – Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio.

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Nine of Wands

Meaning: You might be dreading tackling something with someone and have put off having this conversation for a while… Cap, get to it this week, it’s the right time. Unseen forces have aligned to ensure that this conversation will land the way you want it to.

This person is going to be receptive to your words and will listen to what you want. Things will turn out better than you thought, and be a lot easier than you feared. Don’t delay. Go talk to them face to face and clear the air. Make it right.

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Page of Coins

Meaning: You want to talk to someone about education, about taking on skills and knowledge you recogniese would benefit you in work, in home, and in life! Maybe this is about getting a coach or mentor directly, maybe about asking for advice about courses or workshops, maybe about finding an online source or resource that you can watch and tap into for guidance.

Consider your skill or knowledge gaps this week and fill them! You’re going places. Live and learn.

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Five of Wands

Meaning: Pisces, you hate conflicts and tension because you’re an empath and automatically absorb other people’s feelings and vibes. Zoom in on the connection that feels most fraught right now and have a conversation directly this week.

Talk to them about how you feel and what you hope for. See what they think and feel, seek to understand their POV fully. And take it from there. Stop fighting or blocking, and start talking. You can get past this and restore the good vibes between you both.
