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: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

Buckle up, because The Wheel Of Fortune can be a wild ride! Transformation is possible. Lean into the changes and start a few yourself. It's better to be the doer than the done-to, right? This card means things will turn out differently than you expected this week, so ride the waves. When things feel tricky, remember that it’ll be alright in the end. Get ready for a wild ride!

ARIES: FOUR OF WANDS

The Four of Wands pats you on the back for a job well done, and asks you to look ahead and plan for more of the same. You’ve proven, in work or a personal project, that you can do this. Now, it’s time to stretch your ambitions and go for the next goal. You love a challenge, Aries, so aim high.

TAURUS: FIVE OF COINS

If ever a sign were prone to regrets, it’s you, Taurus. You HATE to lose anything you’ve already got, even if you don’t really want it anymore. You tend to get stuck in "coulda, shoulda, woulda" thinking. The Five of Coins sees you drifting, down Memory Lane this week, ready to pick at a scab that should be left alone. Don’t do it! Resist the urge. You can waste hours on something that is over and done with, or you can go have fun. Choose the latter.

GEMINI: KNIGHT OF WANDS

Like Peter Pan, you Gemmys never really grow up. You still indulge in the hobbies, passions and personality of your inner child, and that kid is coming out to play this week. The Knight of Wands sees you embarking upon an exciting quest. It might be a vacation, class, relationship, or hobby. Whatever it is, it's something fresh and inspiring, with a little bit of risk attached. Go have fun. You deserve this.

CANCER: JUSTICE

Justice is a nice payback of karma for something you were right about in the past. You told them so! It's a good feeling, but don’t get carried away. Be gracious. Let the defeated slink off, and trust that karma will deal with them. Hold your head high and move on to better things and nicer people. You don’t deserve the things that have happened to you, but it has all made you a stronger person.

LEO: THE HIEROPHANT

You have natural, powerful leadership qualities, and others automatically look to you to show them the way—it’s that lioness thing. This week you are going to be doing just that, with the spiritual Hierophant card. You are stepping up and setting an example about something worthy, positive, and, yes, maybe a little spiritual. You got this!

VIRGO: STRENGTH

Strength is a wonderful tarot card representing the many shades of strength we acquire over our lives. It’s not just about physical force, but qualities like courage, confidence, wisdom, compassion, and endurance. You feel strong this week. Others have noticed a shift in you recently, and it’s because you’ve applied the lessons of hardships you’ve been through. You’ve grown. You are strong, Virgo. Use it well.

LIBRA: THREE OF WANDS

It's party time, Libra! The Three of Wands is a YOLO card, reminding us that we’re here for a good time, not a long time. Get busy living and make some magical memories with people you love and like. Let your hair down and let loose. You need this indulgence, and you'll have the time of your life if you say "yes" to whatever's ahead.

SCORPIO: TWO OF COINS

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, Scorpio. Life is chaotic, and we never know what will happen, so it’s wise to keep your options open. The Two of Coins asks you to broaden your horizons, expand your circle, and stretch your limits this week. Do more with more people, more often. You can be prone to hiding away. Come out of the shadows, Scorpio!

SAGITTARIUS: KNIGHT OF COINS

Organization, paperwork, and finances call your name this week, Sagittarius. Now run away and pretend you can’t hear the Knight of Coins calling for your attention! A week of focus on your material world (money, job, home, possessions) and the administrative stuff that supports it will serve you well in the long run. You have a tendency to skate past this pile of paperwork, but it’s not going anywhere. Sort it all out into tidy and automated systems this week. You’ll be doing yourself a massive favor.

CAPRICORN: THE MAGICIAN

You are the kind of person who can make something out of nothing, because you’re so determined and attentive. When you have a great idea, the sky’s the limit. And the Magician shows that a brilliant idea will emerge this week. It’s something creative and inspiring, and it plays to your greatest strength. Seize it and make it happen. You can do this.

AQUARIUS: EIGHT OF CUPS

I hate to be the one to break it to you, Aquarius, but this thing you’ve been fixated on recently is NOT working out. The Eight of Cups asks you to put your tools down, take a breath, and see this for what it is (not what you want it to be). Sometimes our best-laid plans do not come to fruition, and it’s wise to just call it quits and refocus. This is all for the best, I promise. The sooner you move on, the sooner your next project can begin.

PISCES: THREE OF SWORDS

The Three of Swords is a hurtful card indicating betrayals, arguments, back-stabbing, and conflict. Ugh, I know. It’s likely this nasty episode has already happened, but now you’re left with the aftermath. It's time to remove the source of the pain from your life. No excuses, second (or fifth) chances, or forgiveness. Some people just don’t deserve a spot in your life. Remove them. Maybe, in time, things can heal...or not. But now, you need distance.
