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: KNIGHT OF CUPS
It’s a good week for fun, social activity, romance, and friendships. Gather closer to those you love, like, and are inspired by. Then, go do cool stuff together. If you’ve been crushing on someone, ask them out! If you’ve been daydreaming about a vacation, book those tickets! This is a week to enjoy life. Water signs are particularly important this week (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio), so if you’re looking for love, keep an eye out for them.

ARIES: PAGE OF PENTACLES
Life is full of lessons, and they come from all kinds of weird, wonderful, and unexpected places. The Page of Pentacles sees you appreciating that truth this week and finding useful lessons in all manner of places from the past, present, and other people’s experiences. Use your mind this week.
TAURUS: NINE OF CUPS
The Nine of Cups is a beautiful blessings card. It’s an invitation to manifest a heartfelt desire. Draw whatever you’re wishing for out into real life and make it happen. This is especially relevant to relationship situations, be they love, friendship, coworkers, or family. Hope for the best and take action.
GEMINI: THE CHARIOT
You are full of purpose, vitality, determination, and ambition. You are making big plans, as shown by the dynamic Chariot card. You know what direction you need to go in, and you’re ready to start moving. This week could actually involve some travel, or simply a change in mindset. It’s time to broaden your horizons in every way.
CANCER: THE HIGH PRIESTESS
Good news, Cancer: You have total permission to indulge fully and absolutely in your deep, powerful emotional world. Bliss! The High Priestess is a notification that there are important updates awaiting you from your subconscious. How to access them? Meditate, take a mindful walk, journal, talk to yourself in the mirror, doodle, daydream—whatever you like doing that lulls your mind into a relaxed state.
LEO: FOUR OF CUPS
Boredom is your nemesis. When you’re bored, you’re dangerous. You start doing things that are out of character, just to liven shit up. Leo, chill. The Four of Cups warns against falling into a boredom meltdown this week. You know the signs. The answer is to refocus on what you’ve already got going on. Try to see it through someone else’s eyes. Leo, have a life others envy. See that, and enjoy.
VIRGO: TWO OF SWORDS
Last week you got The Lovers, which asked you to make a big decision. Did you do it, Virgo? Because now you get the Two of Swords, and that’s an even more of a command to just effing do it. Lay out all the pros and cons, talk about it with someone you trust, and mitigate the risks. And then get to it and make your final choice. Life will get much easier when you do.
LIBRA: SEVEN OF PENTACLES
Not every change has to be radical, fast, or major. Many of our biggest life changes are gradual. The Seven of Pentacles sees you noticing a trajectory you’ve been on for a while now, but perhaps not recognized as being an actual process of change. It is! Celebrate your progress, and make a conscious plan for what’s next because you’ve already done the hard part (probably without even thinking about it). You are on your way someplace new.
SCORPIO: EIGHT OF SWORDS
The Eight of Swords brings a moment of self-awareness that sears through illusions, right to the heart of a self-delusion you’ve held onto for too long. Trust me, this is a powerful epiphany, and it actually serves to liberate you from a self-limiting belief or behavior. Free yourself from the kind of thinking that has held you back in the past. You will see whatever you’ve been projecting for what it really is, and it will be a relief to shut this whole delusion down.
SAGITTARIUS: THE FOOL
Nothing feels as good as a fresh start, right? Everything is possible when everything is new. The Fool has you embarking on what will become a long, interesting journey of discovery. This week, though, it’s all about the first few steps. Don’t worry too much about the big picture or long-term plan. Just set off! Enjoy this phase of the journey. Bon voyage!
CAPRICORN: KING OF CUPS
For all of your practicality and ambition, you are also very caring, kind, and compassionate. You are so hard on yourself and you understand the pressures and stresses of life all too well. The King of Cups sees in a nurturing mood this week, helping out a colleague, partner, friend, or family member who needs your supportive presence. Listen well. Give advice if asked. Show them you understand (because you do). You can do some good here.
AQUARIUS: PAGE OF WANDS
Play time! The Page of Wands sets you free to run free and explore. This week is like a school break filled with educational, challenging, exciting, fun, and playful activities. Fill up your free time with new and interesting pursuits that you haven’t tried before. Listen to and read new things. Sign up for a class. Visit a museum. Check out a new venue. You are ready to explore your local world and see new things. Have fun.
PISCES: KNIGHT OF WANDS
Pisces, sometimes you play it safe when you really should take a chance. Fortune favors the bold, right? The Knight of Wands stimulates both your risk-taking side and your lucky powers (you have a connection to Jupiter, the planet of abundance and good fortune). Roll the dice and play a risky but rewarding hand this week, and the odds just might tip in your favor. Go for it.
