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: SIX OF SWORDS

When it’s time, it’s time. And this week is one of those times. The Six of Swords is a signal, an omen. It tells you that it’s time to move on because you’re nearing a natural, inevitable conclusion. Everything ends. You have played the game and taken your rewards, and now you’re starting to outgrow it all. Acknowledge this and make an intelligent plan to end the commitment. This won’t be sad! It’s

just time.

ARIES: THE CHARIOT

Purpose, ambition, power. All are part of your natural make-up. You are ruled by Mars, after all, the god of war! The Chariot gifts you with a surge of passion and drive this week, which you must focus into your most heartfelt goal. You are moving with purpose. You are focused on an end game. You can go further, faster, with more momentum than you currently think is possible. Make this a power week!

TAURUS: DEATH

Don’t be scared! Death isn’t a negative card. Death is actually about change and transformation, growth and progress. Yes, it means that something is likely to fade or metaphorically “die.” That’s okay, because everything moves through natural life cycles. An ending is merely the embryo of a new beginning, so let things flow and release what is coming to an end or moving away from your passion or ambition. You are evolving. Things are shifting. Be fluid and flexible.

GEMINI: THE STAR

Happy Gemini season! Think of the gifts you receive this week as an early or late birthday present. The Star asks you to make a powerful wish for yourself and then make a direct step towards activating it. Do something risky and positive. The universe will see your action and bring you the opportunity to help you achieve this wish. I mean it! This is a very powerful week for you, and The Star doesn’t come around very often. Use this card’s forces and make a dream come true.

CANCER: EIGHT OF PENTACLES

You’re stuck in the boring part of the year, before your season starts. This is the time to get the work done so you can party, play, and vacation later, without a care in the world. The Eight of Pentacles asks you to get organized about what needs to be done. Make a list. Prioritize it. Schedule your tasks. Hold yourself accountable, if you can’t, then find an accountability buddy who can! This little push will be worth it, because you’ll get right back on top of your to-do list and your chores. If you let things slide now, you’ll end up stuck in a pile of work. Avoid that.

LEO: THE LOVERS

You’ve probably been in a love triangle or five before, Leo. You frequently find yourself torn between different romantic options. The Lovers reveals this is happening again. Temptation has arisen, and a new prospect is on the scene. Will you stay or go? It’s up to you, Leo, but make sure you actually make a firm choice and follow it through. Don’t lie. Don’t play both sides. Follow your passion and feeling. You know yourself well, and you know when you’re really into something (or not). Act accordingly.

VIRGO: KING OF PENTACLES

I think we should make you a little badge saying “King of Pentacles”—you’re just like him. The suit of Pentacles matches your zodiac element, earth. Virgo, be your best self this week and reap the rewards. Focus on controlling, organizing, and increasing your resources in health, wealth, home and work. Set big goals, research your options, make robust plans, and then go out and enact them. Showcase your wonderful talents this week. Get what you deserve.

LIBRA: STRENGTH

Celebrate your progress, acknowledge your successes, and reward yourself for your bravery and confidence in doing what needed to be done. It’s been a tough year; you’ve had to dig in and find fortitude and resilience in the face of new challenges. But you did it. Strength shows that you are growing and changing. You need to acknowledge your growth, and recognize the ways in which you’ve gotten more powerful. All of this was hard-won. All of this was worthwhile. Celebrate yourself this week.

SCORPIO: THREE OF WANDS

The Three of Wands brings adventure, spontaneity, and opportunity into your world this week, so make sure you’re on alert, being proactive, and looking for openings you’re interested in. It might feel a little chaotic and choppy. It might not all go to plan. Let the plans go! Don’t try and control every moment or action. Go with the flow because the unseen forces at play in your world are trying to propel you towards new news and horizons. Enjoy the ride!

SAGITTARIUS: PAGE OF SWORDS

Playing both sides of the fence is a dangerous game. You can probably only do it for so long until people demand to know where you stand exactly. This might be that time. The Page of Swords shows it’s time to commit, one way or the other. Don’t you want to get ahead of this and make your own proactive choice rather than be forced into a corner? I know you hate being restricted or pressured. So make up your mind and move on!

CAPRICORN: NINE OF WANDS

Cap, I promise that the thing you’re dreading this week is actually going to turn out to be good. Don’t waste any more energy on overthinking it. Just get on with it and get into it. The sooner you tackle the issue, the sooner it gets resolved and you’re free of this tangle. The Nine of Wands is a wonderful reassurance that things are better than you believe and you’re in a stronger position than you think. Use your power and face it all head on. Cap, you are determined and ambitious, and you will get what you want, need, and deserve in this situation.

AQUARIUS: THE EMPEROR

The Emperor asks you to look at the dynamics of the closest relationships in your life right now. Are they playing out in a fair, balanced, and healthy manner? Are people being treated well? Are you being overbearing or bossy? Are you being browbeaten or controlled? Consider the dynamics carefully, because The Emperor hints that there are power plays that need tweaking. Someone is doing too much (it might even be you).

PISCES: SIX OF WANDS

Victory, Pisces! Have a little celebration for all of your recent wins. Not only do you deserve the praise, but you’re also signaling to the universe that you recognize your good fortune and you’d like some more of the same, please. Success follows success, after all. Think about the momentum you’ve created and the reputation you’ve built. It’s time to build on what you’re naturally good. Amplify the things that come easily to you, because this is where you’ll find most success in the future.
