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: PAGE OF SWORDS Pluto moves into Aquarius and Sagittarius season starts this week.
Both events activate your dreams, adventures, and imagination. Chaos creates opportunity. The Page of Swords suggests that if you aren’t sure what your dreams and goals are, then create a little bit of chaos in your realm! Stir things up, make changes, and experiment.
Why not? Life is short and we’re here to experience everything. Jump in and find out what your next big adventure will be. ARIES: THREE OF SWORDS People are always drawn to light, heat, and flames.
That’s YOU, Aries. You are vital, bright, energetic, vibrant, and vivacious. You’re naturally popular, but there are haters who want to drain your strength and positivity.
You know who they are. The Three of Swords is clear directive to withdraw, retreat, and put lasting boundaries in place before they suck more life from you. TAURUS: PAGE OF WANDS Dare to dream big about your long-term future.
What could the coming 20 years have in store for you, if you set yourself to an inspiring goal and took your time to get there? Almost anything can be achieved in this timeframe, so what are you going to work on? The Page of Wands asks you to start by playing around, daydreaming, fantasizing, and imagining. Let your mind roam and bring you back a glowing idea! GEMINI: PAGE OF CUPS I think of this card as a "missing you" vibe. Someone, maybe from way back in the day, has been thinking about you a lot recently.
This could be a friend from childhood, a first love, or even a long-lost cousin or family member. Be open to this energy and radar to look for clues as to who is thinking of you. If you receive a sign, then act on it.
This is a very intuitive event, so don’t overthink it. CANCER: SEVEN OF CUPS You are full of ideas about your future. You feel imaginative and creative this week, and you're thinking about the long game.
What have you got in mind? Get everything down on paper. Journal your thoughts and make mood boards for different areas of your life. Write down your ambitions, then pressure-test them by discussing with your confidants and mentors.
Create a plan that gets you moving! LEO: SEVEN OF PENTACLES Sagittarius season activates a philosophical and thoughtful phase for fire signs. And as the zodiac’s archer, you are a deep thinker and mental explorer. You feel curious about the world and the ways other cultures or countries do things.
You are feeling really open-minded about new ideas, opinions, and ways of living life. Recent events may have opened your eyes to the idea of letting go in what you once believed in, thought, or supported. Maybe there’s another way? There is.
There are many, many other ways. Let yourself explore them. VIRGO: PAGE OF PENTACLES The Page of Pentacles is the tarot’s student, like you.
Mercury is your ruling planet, and Mercury is all about intelligence, education, and worldly knowledge. Go learn something that will help you make a living, live life well, maximize an existing talent, or fill a knowledge gap. Learning is never wasted, even when it’s about something random.
If you’re not sure WHAT to read up on, then just pick a random subject and get into it. LIBRA: TWO OF WANDS Your key word this week is , Libra. There’s a lot going on—it’s Sagittarius season, which is basically astrology's party, and you’re always up for a good time.
Venus is your ruler and she loves her pleasures and indulgences. But make sure you know what this week’s priorities are, too, and put them at the top of your to-do list. Work first and play later.
Get your chores done, and then you can party! SCORPIO: FOUR OF WANDS A promotion or career opportunity will emerge for you this week, so be on alert for openings, subtle invitations, chaotic situations you could take control of, and non-verbal cries for help that you could answer. You are deeply intuitive and observant, Scorpio. You will sense this opportunity before it becomes visible to others, and this heads-up phase is when you should act.
Don’t wait for clarity. Jump in and pre-empt everyone else. You will be amazed at what unfolds.
SAGITTARIUS: KING OF PENTACLES It’s your season, Sag, so go have fun! The King of Pentacles shows there is wealth, prosperity, success, and career advancement waiting for you. There's an opening to push through and find a new position of authority or control. You are a good leader.
You have charisma, great ideas, understanding, and tons of energy. This is your time to shine, so don’t miss it. Look to people with influence, like your mentors, your bosses, and your leaders.
Notice their needs and fulfill them proactively. Show that you can do it and they will pay you to do it. CAPRICORN: SEVEN OF WANDS Set yourself a challenge this week, Cap.
Choose something that takes a week to accomplish, or at least make a tangible difference in. Make it fun and playful, even if it’s a work-focused goal. Set yourself mini daily milestones to keep the momentum high.
If you have a friend or colleague you can pit yourself against, then make it a one-on-one race! Think of a reward or prize to enjoy once you've accomplished your goal. Then, go do it! AQUARIUS: FIVE OF PENTACLES You're hardwired to hate losing. Even if what you have isn’t what you want, you still don’t want someone else to take it from us.
Well, the Five of Pentacles reminds you that, in hindsight, you can admit that some losses are necessary and even benefited you in the long run. That will happen to you this week. You will, through conversation with others who had similar experiences, realize this whole thing has kinda been the making of you.
This hardship taught you a lot and set you on a different path that you now actually appreciate. Celebrate this wisdom; it was hard-won. PISCES: STRENGTH Strength reminds you that you have depths of resilience, courage, and determination.
You are also very kind, compassionate, and empathetic, and this makes you stronger than others because you feel things so deeply. You have grown so much in 2024, Pisces. Celebrate your character and integrity, and trust yourself and your power going forward.
