Your Weekly Tarot Card Reading, by Zodiac SignMargie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

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: TWO OF PENTACLES

More is more! The Two of Pentacles signals you are ready, willing, and able to take on more this week. So go out there, seek variety, welcome new relationships, and get busy. Sometimes the good vibes just flow, and you have the energy to do more than you usually would. Don’t waste it! Be open and proactive this week. Enjoy your life!

ARIES: DEATH

Death brings transformation. Something is brewing. You can feel the winds of change starting to ebb and flow around you, and it’s time to let go of your current position and follow them. You know, deep down, you are ready to make a big change in your life. You have thinking about this for a long time. The process may seem overwhelming, so take it one day or step at a time. It will happen naturally. You are ready.

TAURUS: SEVEN OF PENTACLES


7 of pentacles
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You hate to waste stuff. You hate the idea of not continuing with a project or role that you’ve already invested heavily in. But Taurus, sometimes you have to cut your losses. The Seven of Pentacles nudges you to divert your energies away from something you’ve done for a long time (and not enjoyed recently) into something new. This is a shrewd move. This is not a waste, nor is it quitting. This is about maximizing your returns.

GEMINI: TEMPERANCE

Gemini, you are known for your adaptability. It’s true that at surface level you can flip-flop, but at a deeper level, you’re like the rest of us: Reluctant to lose your familiar comforts. Temperance sees the results of a deeper, slower shift coming to fruition this week. It’s all happened unconsciously, but you're starting to think and talk about something differently and people are noticing it. You probably can’t explain how, why, or when this shift happened, but it has. Don’t resist it. This is the new normal.

CANCER: STRENGTH

strength
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

This week will test you, and as shown by the powerful Strength card, the challenges will feel new. Take them on, Cancer. Don’t avoid this test. You can handle this, and better yet, you will actually enjoy overcoming earning the rewards you deserve. Hardship and challenge make us grow. Lean into this process. Reward yourself for everything you’re about to achieve.

LEO: KING OF SWORDS

This is a week to project yourself into the far future and imagine what it is you want to be doing, with whom, and where. Life best happens when it’s designed, so start chasing a goal you truly care about. Don’t drift. Don’t let it all happen to you. Be the one who makes the plans, takes the decisions on, and creates the energy and action. Leo, you are a born leader, and the King of Swords is about you leading yourself towards your best life ever.

VIRGO: THE HIEROPHANT

The Hierophant shows you finding your feet in a group. This could mean your career network, a friendship group, a social or community circle, or even your family. There’s an inevitable pecking order, there’s an inevitable dose of tension, pride, ego, humor, affection, and underlying secrets. The usual. You are super perceptive. Take your time to observe the dynamics and decide consciously where and how you want to align and contribute here (and where, importantly, you don’t). Decide your role, and then play it! You can manipulate your position to your advantage.

LIBRA: EIGHT OF CUPS

Libra, do yourself a big favor and let go of something, someplace, or someone who just hasn’t lived up to the hype, disappointed you privately, and shown no signs of getting any better. Why bother? Why put yourself through this any longer? The Eight of Cups is a major "get out of jail free" card. It’s urging you to release yourself from a stale situation and move on to better opportunities. The minute you let go of one thing, another (better) thing will emerge to take its place.

SCORPIO: QUEEN OF SWORDS

If they aren’t doing it right, then maybe you should just do it yourself. You’ve been letting someone else take charge, and, frankly, it's not going well. You know you can do this better. So do it, Scorpio. They will be secretly relieved because they know this isn’t working too. The Queen of Swords asks you to be practical, logical, dispassionate, and direct. Tell them your plan in private, and then get going. You can own this now.

SAGITTARIUS: TWO OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Having too many ongoing projects, half-formed ideas, open-ended tasks, and talking stages can get a bit overwhelming, but you keep on finding yourself in this position. Your mind feels like a laptop with a dozen tabs open at the same time, requiring some form of action. So change that, Sag. The Two of Wands reveals that many of these tabs can be closed down with no issue at all. Streamline. Refocus. Prioritize. Feel better.

CAPRICORN: KNIGHT OF PENTACLES

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You are such a Knight of Pentacles character, Cap. Dedicated, serious, conscientious, determined, ambitious. You seek material progress, gains, and rewards. You value money, status, recognition, and prestige. Quality matters. This week, let your materialism drive you. What is it that you’re most coveting right now? How can you get your hands on it? Make a plan and set off. We all make our own motivation. Be enthusiastically materialistic, and use that desire to drive you to new heights. You are a success story. Own it!

AQUARIUS: KING OF WANDS

You are independent and offbeat, and you like doing things on your own. The King of Wands sees you embarking upon a solo adventure this week. You have come up with this all by yourself, from start to end. It’s all you, Aquarius, so enjoy yourself. You are doing what you do best. Fly high, have fun, be thrilled.

PISCES: THE WORLD

the world
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Pisces, you are a curious, creative, and perceptive person who loves to travel, see different places, experience alternative cultures, and meet new people. The World is literally calling you this week. Where do you most long to visit? What area of the country, continent, or wider world speaks to you on an emotional level? What’s on your bucket list? Can you start to put those wheels in motion this week, even if it’s just researching your trip? You need something to look forward to. Make it happen.
