You don’t need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here’s what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let’s go!
A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: TEN OF PENTACLES
They say that fate is what happens when you don’t master your own destiny. Is that what you want to happen in your life? I’m guessing not. The Ten of Pentacles is a reminder to all of us that our best life is likely to happen by design, by intention, by taking control of the elements and forging them to a shape and size that serves us. The Ten of Pentacles asks you to plan ahead in favor of your own ambitions and goals. Be the -doer, not the done-to. Know where you’re going, why, and how.

ARIES: SIX OF CUPS
Nostalgia is the theme of this week for you, Aries, so let your mind wander down Memory Lane. Notice where you linger, where you feel happy, and where you experience a pang of regret. Maybe some of these people/places/activities/roles are still within reach? The past is NOT that far away. The Six of Cups asks you to bring what you miss back into your life. Things can be repaired. Give them a second chance.
TAURUS: THE FOOL
The Fool is the tarot’s first card, representing new beginnings. You are going to activate a major fresh start in your life, even if it’s just an intention and hope. This week is about following a desire, pursuing a passion, and doing what’s right for you and you alone. It’s likely others won’t agree with your choice–that’s their problem. You do you. The planet Uranus is linked to the Fool and brings its radical, unexpected, progressive, and innovative energy to the foreground this week. Get inventive! Create something new!
GEMINI: THREE OF CUPS
Gemmy, it’s coming up to your season (in a few weeks, anyway) and the Three of Cups gives you full permission to get the pre-party going. Celebrate early! Start party planning! Send out invitations and make some big plans in advance. A little bit of preparation now will set the tone and platform for your best-ever birthday!
CANCER: KNIGHT OF WANDS
Have a wild week of doing whatever you feel like doing in the moment, offCancer. Don’t make plans. Just go with the flow. The Knight of Wands is spontaneous, reassuring you that all the best opportunities (for love, friendship, travel, adventure, and luck) will be found by reacting to what’s happening in the moment. Deliberately set out to be a responsive and alert person who spots the openings and capitalizes on them. You can make magic happen this week just by noticing and responding to what’s around you.
LEO: QUEEN OF PENTACLES
You are ready to step up and take control of something important in and around your health, wealth, work, or home. Something practical. You can see what you want to happen, and you know no one is going to do this for you. It’s time for the natural leader in you to shine! The Queen of Pentacles takes care of business. She is shrewd, worldly, pragmatic, and pushes for her own agenda. You aren’t waiting any longer, you are taking charge!
VIRGO: TEN OF CUPS
Your love life is simmering nicely right now and this week, the temperature really soars. The kitchen analogy is a good one for romance because there’s a lot of mixing, testing, chemistry, and ingredients involved in building a relationship. The Ten of Cups suggests you’re getting it right, and big things are coming. Expect a commitment, grand gesture, or even a proposal. Congrats in advance!!!
LIBRA: QUEEN OF WANDS
Take charge of bringing something new into your life this week that serves a goal around education, travel, health, creativity, or friendship. It should be something exciting, stimulating, and horizon-broadening. This is about your own personal growth, and making your life feel fun and interesting. The Queen of Wands urges you to take responsibility here. No one is going to deliver this ~thing~ to you, you need to get out there and get it. Go on a little journey of discovery and come back with something interesting to do.
SCORPIO: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Ready for a wild ride? The Wheel of Fortune promises adventure, ups and downs, transformation, news, and surprises. Everything could be different by this time next week! Start the ball rolling by picking just ONE little thing to change in your world. Focus on it, see it through, and notice the chain reaction of new energy. This is going to be invigorating. Go for it!
SAGITTARIUS: TEMPERANCE
Temperance is your sign’s tarot card, reflecting your philosophical and deeply wise side. You enjoy ruminating on life’s big mysteries, questions, and plots. Temperance shows that you’re in the process of changing your mind or outlook. You feel a little unstable and you’re seeking to ground yourself in a new position. Make this week a thoughtful one. Talk to people. Journal. Seek answers to your questions. Form an informed opinion and know your stance. You will feel grounded again.
CAPRICORN: KING OF WANDS
The King of Wands can be a strong nudge to take a risk. You are a naturally careful person, but being super-careful isn’t necessarily the right move this week. Get informed, identify the risks, mitigate them as much as you can, and then pursue the option that feels a little iffy but has a major reward. Fortune favors the bold, and luck is on your side this week. You can get further faster than you currently believe is possible, so take that chance!
AQUARIUS: ACE OF WANDS
Start something exciting, like a new hobby or routine. It should be something that feels like an adventure, igniting your passion for newness. Maybe you want to learn to fly a plane, play the guitar, climb a mountain, travel to a continent you’ve never been to, or learn a new language. Whatever idea has been inspiring you recently, but that you haven’t had the time or energy to try, now is the time. Activate this new activity and enjoy the surge of optimism and excitement it brings to your world.
PISCES: SIX OF WANDS
Everything you touch will turn to gold this week, Pisces, with the Six of Wands. Not literally gold of course; I mean in the sense of being a success. So be bold. You are on a winning streak and it’s time to push your luck and go even further. Broaden your horizons and aim higher. Apply for that dream job, ask out the person you’ve been crushing on, or request the project you’ve long wanted to lead. You will be amazed what you can achieve when you’re confident and proactive. Go for it!
