Okay team, time out. The Queen of Cups sails into view this week with an invitation to take time for yourself, practice self-love and self-care, and to seek deep rest. We all need a hiatus from the hustle. Relaxation is your first priority this week. Make time to repair, restore, refresh, and rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit. This is not frivolous or self-indulgent; this is necessary and important.

ARIES: THE FOOL

The Fool is one of the best-known tarot cards, and it's often misinterpreted as being literally foolish or silly. Actually, that's not the case. The Fool might be na?ve or inexperienced, but that's only because his journey is just beginning. Anytime you begin something new, you don’t know everything—in fact, you might know nothing, but you're ready and willing to learn. This card represents where you’re at right now: The beginning. Embrace it. Don’t worry about the learning curve—you'll learn as you go along. Enjoy this fresh start.

TAURUS: THREE OF SWORDS

If they’ve hurt you, then why are you keeping them around? Why spend time with people who don’t have your best interests at heart, or have actively discouraged or insulted you? Taurus, it’s time to kick some people out of your life—even if only temporarily. The Three of Swords is firm on this matter. If you don’t protect yourself, who will?

GEMINI: SEVEN OF SWORDS

You’re no stranger to secrets, schemes, and underhanded deals. You can spot them a mile away, and you might even indulge in them yourself from time to time. But this week, Gemini, be good. Please. The Seven of Swords shows that something bad is coming closer. Whether it’s another person, or your own dastardly twin self who’s up to no good…it will lead to very bad things. Remember that karma is watching. Don’t let yourself, or others, down.

CANCER: JUDGMENT

You experience a lightbulb moment this week and it changes the whole GD game. Why on earth have you never realized these insights before? They were staring you in the face. The truth is, you've been underestimating yourself for a long time. You've been glorifying others’ achievements and ignoring your own. Enough! Judgment puts a new lens on things. You SEE your power, your unique talent, your irreplaceable energy and, more importantly, you know just what you’re going to do with it.

LEO: THE HIEROPHANT

Although you’re a natural leader and you enjoy making the decisions and wielding power, you’d actually benefit from seeking a coach, teacher, or mentor right now. You don’t know it all. It’s hard to see things clearly from inside your own head, and right now, you need a sounding board. The Hierophant suggests someone calm, experienced, wise, and a little bit spiritual. They can help you. Look around. Find someone. This will make a big difference.

VIRGO: SEVEN OF PENTACLES

7 of pentacles
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Your powers of commitment are unsurpassed (except maybe by your fellow earth sign, Capricorn). You persevere even when it's tough. Well, Virgo, that's the wrong move this time. The Seven of Pentacles signals that something you’ve struggled with for a long time has run its course. It's time to let it go and invest your precious energy elsewhere. Only you can make this change, so you have to mentally engage with the idea first. Absorb the facts. See the trajectory. It's time to let go.

LIBRA: EIGHT OF CUPS

8 of cups
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You hate disappointment, Libra (don't we all)? Well, disappointment can teach you a lot, and it can also help you identify your true desires and dealbreakers. Libra, it’s time to spend some time with your disappointment. The Eight of Pentacles asks you to acknowledge that something hasn’t worked. Draw it to a close, take a life lesson, and then use the feeling to motivate you to pursue something better. I promise a new and bigger opportunity is heading your way already. This was just preparation.

SCORPIO: FIVE OF PENTACLES

5 of pentacles
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Scorpio, you are the most private of all the zodiac signs. You hate being questioned or analyzed (although you enjoy doing all of that to others). The Five of Pentacles sees you on an even higher level of emotional lockdown this week, because you’re in pain. There’s something from your past that you’re dwelling on, picking at, and reliving. The Five of Pentacles asks you to simply stop. The event is over. The wound was healing nicely. All it needs now is fresh air and time. You can move on and do other stuff. There’s no point lingering in this memory.

SAGITTARIUS: THE CHARIOT

The Chariot is such a good card for you, Sag, because it represents one of your favorite things: Travel! You love a road trip or a last-minute flight. It's time to chart a different course, either physically or mentally. If you’ve been thinking about moving home, this is a great omen. If you’re considering booking travel of any kind, get to it. Changing countries is not out of the question. Whatever your travel aspirations, this is the week to make some progress.

CAPRICORN: THE MAGICIAN

You are filled with innovative and creative energy this week, so don’t waste it, Cap. Whatever you can invent and create this week could be worth a fortune (maybe even literally). This project comes from your heart. You believe in it. The Magician sees it, and adds a little magic. The sky’s the limit, Cap, so aim high and have faith. This is a time to go after your dreams.

AQUARIUS: FIVE OF CUPS

5 of cups
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Don’t let a moment of sadness overshadow your whole week, Aquarius. Grief or regrets often come in waves, triggered by subtle shifts and interactions. Take a moment for what was lost. Acknowledge the feeling, and then sigh and move forward. You’re still here, and this isn't the time to dwell on the past. The Five of Cups indicates an emotional echo will emerge, but you don’t have to remain in its clutches for long. Overall, this is a reflective and relaxing week.

PISCES: NINE OF PENTACLES

9 of pentacles
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Your gaze has settled on a far-off possibility—a potential future you that you very much like the look of. Go for it. The Nine of Pentacles gives you permission to plan ahead. Set a long-term goal, and then make break it down into smaller actions. Good things come to those who work for them, and you’re willing to make this investment. Trust me, the end goal is worth it.
