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 LOVERS

The Lovers can be a tricky card, because it represents Gemini (and you KNOW what they’re like). Expect conflicted feelings, too many options, wandering eyes, and uncertainty. Right now, most of us are feeling confused and conflicted, even about things we thought were secure.. It’s a little storm, seeking to shake things up—so let it move you where you’re ready to bend, and let it pass by the places where you feel grounded and safe already.

ARIES: THE WORLD

Something is starting this week that has the potential to be ~endgame~. The World is the last tarot card of the deck, and it represents something ending so that something bigger and better can take its place. Recognize where, in your life, things are coming to fruition, and think about what the next level is. You're ready to broaden your horizons and take on something new.

TAURUS: TEN OF COINS

You’re seeking stability, and the Ten of Coins works with you to lay the foundations. This could be related to your finances, your home, or your career, but whatever it is, you’re leaning into opportunities with an eye on the future.

Boredom is your kryptonite, and the Four of Cups sees you hitting that wall this week. Instill some fresh energy by beginning a new project, making a new connection, changing your routine, or just doing something spontaneous.

CANCER: EIGHT OF COINS

Hard work is on your agenda this week, Cancer. The Eight of Coins signals that you need to make a final push on something already in progress. Don’t give up now—you’re almost there.

LEO: SEVEN OF WANDS

You don’t let anyone get the upper hand, Leo, but someone is going to attempt to do just that this week. Sharpen your claws and show then who’s boss. The Seven of Wands reveals you can come out on top if you stand up for yourself. You got this!

VIRGO: TWO OF WANDS

Your planetary ruler, Mercury, gives you with an inquiring mind. Usually this is a good thing, but you can sometimes get stuck overanalyzing things. The Two of Wands warns against this habit, so this week, when you get frustrated, try distracting yourself or writing your thoughts down so you can move on to your next project.

LIBRA: THE HIEROPHANT

You don’t like rocking the boat, but the Hierophant tells you it’s time to rebel. It’s okay, Libra! This card is about your ethics and ideals. Something has changed in your world, and you’re ready to share your beliefs. Be brave and stand tall.

Good news: You’re about to be proven right. Bad news: You should stay out of the argument, because it’s about to resolve itself. I know, Scorpio, you love meddling and revenge, but please put that to the side. Justice is a powerful card about, well, justice, and it’s coming your way.

SAGITTARIUS: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

The Wheel of Fortune is the tarot’s patron saint card of transformation and change. It has a great deal of power, and that power CAN be harnessed. If you’re willing to make a bold, significant change in one area of your life this week, chances are that the momentum you create will trigger a positive knock-on effect across your life. Get ready to go with the flow, and ignite a process of transformation. Push that wheel!

All work and no play makes Cap grumpy, and no one wants to hang out with a sea-goat in a bad mood. The Six of Cups blasts into your world a surge of playful energy. Take a staycation and treat yourself to some relaxation, a creative hobby, or just a new TV series. You need a little time-out—enjoy it!

AQUARIUS: NINE OF SWORDS

Don’t bottle it all up, Aquarius— find a friend and spill the tea. The Nine of Swords shows that you’re keeping too much to yourself, and it’s turning you into a big ball of anxiety and resentment. It’s time to unleash your truths and fears—for some of them, just talking about it will help, and other issues need to be addressed out loud.. Start the process of unravelling your internal angst this week, and you’ll feel better.
