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: SEVEN OF WANDS
Challenge and competition are not bad. They can stir up our motivation and mojo even when we feel lackluster. They can help us rise to an occasion. Sometimes a rival is the fuel we need to be our best self. The Seven of Wands brings us that energy this week. So don’t see your challenges as obstacles, but as gateways to exceed expectations and showcase what you got! Be bold, direct, and confident. You can do this.

ARIES: THE SUN
Here comes the sun, Aries! Are you ready for a magnificent week? I hope so, because it has arrived! The Sun brings joy, success, love, applause, rewards, travel, opportunity, and good luck. All you need to do is to be your confident, abundant self. Show up with a smile. Ask someone for a favor. Take a risk. This is a week where anything can happen!
TAURUS: KING OF CUPS
The King of Cups sees you having some deep conversations and connections with others this week, especially the people who matter most to you. Not only do you get to hear how they really feel, but they want to hear your side of the story, too. Sharing your problems helps them get resolved, and telling your story helps you make sense of the last year or so. Knowing that you’re not alone, that others have struggled too, and that others think you’re doing great—well, it’s priceless. Feel loved and understood, Taurus.
GEMINI: EIGHT OF WANDS
The Eight of Wands is a very appropriate Gemini card because it represents communication, networking, news, information, and opportunity. You find yourself right in the middle of everything this week, just how you like it, and this means you’re plugged TF in. Be alert, reactive, and curious. Ask questions, seek advice, share ideas, and bounce things around. It’s who vs. what you know this week.
CANCER: THE MOON
The Moon is all about secrets, lies, illusions, and sudden realizations. This is not a bad thing. The Moon brings you knowledge, enlightenment, and liberation from being constrained by a false idea or belief. Be open-minded this week and research the things you feel are mysterious, unfinished, or unanswered in your life. The information you uncover will help you make some important decisions, and it could lead to a game-changing move. Be brave. Seek the truth.
LEO: TWO OF CUPS
Your love life is plentiful and positive this week. If you’re single, you might meet someone really charismatic and compatible, maybe a Water sign (Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer). You will feel like you’ve known them for ages, and you just click. If you’re attached, then it’s THE Date Night week. Make a big effort and be impressive and extravagant. Have fun!
VIRGO: THREE OF SWORDS
Stop making excuses for someone who has consistently let you down, been shady, or even worse, betrayed you. How others treat you shows what they think of you. If they act like they don’t really care…they don’t really care. I know it hurts. But you deserve way better than this. The Three of Swords urges you to cut them off and move on. You won’t miss them for long. Better options are ahead.
LIBRA: QUEEN OF WANDS
Bon voyage! You’re invited to have yourself a wonderful time this week. Where do you want to go? What do you want to see? Who do you want to meet? Libra, the Queen of Wands makes it all possible this week. All you have to do is pick an option, make a plan, and set off. Nothing can stop you. It’s time for adventure, exploration, and new horizons.
SCORPIO: THE TOWER
The Tower is a strong card. It takes no prisoners and doesn’t ask for permission. Seeing this card means that something big has, or is about to, happen. Something important and game-changing. Maybe even unexpected (although in hindsight, you will see the signs were there). The bad news is that this might be a shock. The good news is that in the long run, this is for the best. The cosmos is doing you a favor that you weren’t prepared to do for yourself. Let things unfold and look for the silver lining.
SAGITTARIUS: PAGE OF WANDS
Sagittarius, please focus your precious time and energy on your to-do list, one item at a time. Don’t start anything new! Don’t spread yourself too thin, because you’ll just burn out and nothing will get done right. The Page of Wands asks you to identify the biggest priorities, then make a plan to tackle them this week. Stick to it. Easy, right? Right!
CAPRICORN: EIGHT OF PENTACLES
Networking is an important part of your week. Nurture your contacts, update your LinkedIn, reconnect with old colleagues, and reach out to people who are doing work you admire. Put yourself in the middle of inspiring groups. Ask for advice. Invite feedback. You will learn so much this week through communicating with others. It’s going to give you plenty of career ideas for 2023.
AQUARIUS: WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Change doesn’t faze you half as much as other signs because you’re progressive, forward-thinking, and assertive. You’re always looking for the next big thing. The Wheel of Fortune is an omen that positive and progressive energy is soon to sweep through your life and transform your fortunes—mostly for the better, though there may be a few hiccups (don’t worry about them!). Overall, all of this will work out great, so step into a busy, lively, and transformative week with confidence and optimism.
PISCES: THE HERMIT
The Hermit is a serious card about getting into something challenging, complicated, and extremely interesting. Maybe a research, creative, or administrative project that requires your undivided attention. Push away distraction, schedule proper time to focus on this, and dive in. The conclusions and insights you’ll reach are game-changing!
