Aries:
King of Swords
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 19
Communicate clearly, Aries. It’s wonderful to know what you want and express it clearly to those around you, the Universe included! Be direct in your conversations, and don’t shy away from sharing your thoughts and true intentions. Trust in your abilities to assess situations wisely, act decisively, and to show others the way to clarity through your example! When you stand in integrity with confidence, you inspire your community to do the same.
Taurus:
The Tower
APRIL 20 TO MAY 20
Expect the unexpected, Taurus. Significant transformation is on the horizon for you, and being adaptable and open-minded will help you navigate any surprises that may arise. Even though change may be challenging, don’t resist it. This moment leads to necessary positive growth that aligns better with your true self. Look at this as a beautiful chance to create a stronger foundation, and an opportunity to clear the way for new beginnings.
Gemini:
Five of Swords
MAY 21 TO JUNE 20
Choose your battles wisely, Gemini. It’s beautiful to feel passionately about something, but does everything have to be such a thing? Some conflicts just aren’t worth your time or energy! Slow down and take a more mindful approach to assess whether situations are actually worth fighting for or if it would be better to just walk away. Why create more stress for yourself? Sometimes your peace is far more valuable than winning.
Cancer:
Four of Wands
JUNE 21 TO JULY 22
Celebrate your achievements, Cancer. Instead of moving ahead toward the next goal and the next goal, and the one after that, take time to be present with what you have already accomplished so far on your journey! Have you noticed how many milestones, both big and small, you have already reached? Celebrate them abundantly and don’t hold back from sharing your joy with the ones who supported you along the way.
Leo:
Five of Wands
JULY 23 TO AUG. 22
Be collaborative, Leo. Not everything has to be turned into a competition! Does it really feel good to win if you have to be so cutthroat to get there? Instead of viewing others as opponents, consider how you can work together toward your common goals. If you take this approach more, you might be surprised to see how much everyone has in common, which feels like a lovely added bonus!
Virgo:
Justice
AUG. 23 TO SEPT. 22
Do what’s right, Virgo. Opportunity is knocking, but before you say yes, take some time to reflect on whether this truly aligns with your values and morals. Remember that it’s okay to say no if it doesn’t; nothing is worth compromising on your ethics because it’s important to stand up for what you believe in. If you turn it down, trust that something else will be presented that feels far more aligned for you.
Libra:
Queen of Swords
SEPT. 23 TO OCT. 22
Honor your boundaries, Libra. You can’t be everything to everyone, and you certainly can’t do it all, or at least you can’t do it well if you are spread too thin. And why would you even want to anyway? Take time to define what you need from your relationships as well as understand your own limitations. This practice will ensure you uphold your standards to only share your energy with those who deserve it.
Scorpio:
Knight of Wands Reversed
OCT. 23 TO NOV. 21
Practice patience, Scorpio. Signs of progress might be slow at the moment, but that’s no reason to give up on your current endeavor just yet! If this thing you desire really matters to you, it will be worth the wait. No need to be swayed by fleeting interests: resist the temptation toward recklessness, impulsivity, or rushing into something else entirely. This only creates more problems. Not everything can happen at once…until it does!
Sagittarius:
Six of Pentacles
NOV. 22 TO DEC. 21
Be more generous, Sagittarius. Reflect on your role in the flow of giving and receiving within your community. Whether it’s through sharing your time, resources, or skills, supporting someone in need or a cause you believe in can bring emotional fulfillment and create more positive energy around you. It always feels good to engage in acts of kindness while also recognizing your own needs so you don’t give more than you actually have to share.
Capricorn:
Nine of Cups
DEC. 22 TO JAN. 19
Focus on your well-being, Capricorn. Take care to nurture your emotional health this season. While success and material gains can provide comfort, your current situation reminds you that true happiness comes from spiritual satisfaction. Acknowledge all of the effort you have put into your work life because now it’s time to create more space for activities that bring you personal joy and fulfillment whether through hobbies, friendships, or self-care.
Aquarius:
The Chariot Reversed
JAN. 20 TO FEB. 18
Pause and reflect, Aquarius. It’s hard to know which way to go when you lose track of your inner compass. Maybe you aren’t progressing as fast as you wish you would or your plans appear to have stalled, or perhaps something doesn’t feel as satisfying as it previously did. Instead of continuing to charge forward into the great unknown, use this time to consider your motivation and reassess your goals to find what truly drives you.
Pisces:
Three of Wands
FEB. 19 TO MARCH 20
Embrace what thrills you, Pisces! Have you noticed how exciting life becomes once you leave your comfort zone? It’s easy to get complacent in what you know, but your future is calling and beckoning you to take some risks to expand your horizons. You have big dreams you wish to accomplish and lofty aspirations that are ready to be explored…even if it feels a little scary to take the initial leap. Do it anyway.
