A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: TWO OF CUPS
Cupid is out on the town this week, firing his lil love arrows all around. Seriously, this is a GREAT week for everyone's love lives. The Two of Cups sees things heating up for those in relationships (in a good way), and igniting with a burst of flame for those who are single. Water signs are particularly irresistible right now (lucky Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio), but everyone is basically projecting and attracting whatever (or whoever) we wish to bring into our world. Invest in your love life this week!
ARIES: EIGHT OF WANDS
You’re in the midst of a whirlwind of news, opportunity, and invitations, and it feels ah-mazing. You love being in demand, and right now, that’s exactly what you are. The Eight of Wands means you need to be ready to say "yes" to everything coming your way this week. It’s all going to happen at once, so be prepared!!! Get ready to welcome in this surge of positive energy.
TAURUS: QUEEN OF WANDS
Queens are leaders who have stepped up to the plate and are finding their feet in a new position of control and authority. Something like that might have happened to you at work; in your home or community life; or around travel, education, or lifestyle goal. You've taken ownership for making something happen, and now you’re going to see it start to pay off handsomely. This will activate your appetite to take on even more. Do it!
GEMINI: THE STAR
Blessings and good fortune are swirling all around you this week, Gemini! Make a wish, take steps in its direction, and be led by your best hopes. The Star grants you a ~cosmic pass~ to achieve whatever your heart’s desire is right now. Focus on something heartfelt, emotive, and authentic. Clarify it. Make a move towards it. The universe will get the idea and bring you the opportunity to go further, faster than you currently think is possible.
CANCER: SIX OF CUPS
Nostalgia is on your mind this week, and you're thinking about the things, people, places, and hobbies you've loved in the past. Maybe it’s time to rekindle something? Why not? People grow, circumstances change, and situations shift. What you thought was over might find a new way back into your life. Start this festive season with a reunion with something or someone you once loved. You will feel all glow-y and bright.
LEO: THREE OF SWORDS
Do yourself a massive favor this week, Leo, and identify the biggest source of pain and annoyance in your life is right now. Got it? I bet this has been bothering you for a while now. So, what next? I want you to surgically remove it. That’s right. Get rid of its influence. End it. Move on, away from its toxicity and stress. The Three of Swords is a direct and urgent demand to release that which pains you. Enough is enough.
VIRGO: PAGE OF PENTACLES
You’re a perennial student, Virgo, because your mercurial mind is always searching for new information and skills. You thrive on developing a new talent or discovering a new interest. The Page of Pentacles brings that educational energy into your life this week. You feel like researching a topic, reading a new book, attending a class, seeing an exhibition, etc. Do whatever stimulates you, because what you learn now will be useful down the line.
LIBRA: NINE OF CUPS
The Nine of Cups brings powerful wish-making vibes into your life this week, promising that every daydream, action, and plan you focus on will be met with joyful and lucky opportunities. Shine brightly, Libra! Share the love, be bold in your actions, and ask for what you want. You’re going to be amazed by just how many lucky breaks you can make happen this week.
SCORPIO: SIX OF WANDS
Take a breath and let yourself realize that everything in your life this year has unfolded as it has for a reason. You’re right where you’re meant to be. How does that POV change the way you think about your position? Sometimes, we have to look back before we can plan ahead, and this is that kinda week. The Six of Wands is a reassurance that you’re in the right place at the right time. How are you going to put that to good use?
SAGITTARIUS: PAGE OF SWORDS
Stop going back and forth—make a decision and get on with it! Sagittarius, you’ve got a lot of energy, but you can sometimes waste it by going round and round in circles. Like right now. The Page of Swords shows you’ve been overthinking, procrastinating, and avoiding facing the real issues. Look this situation straight in the eye and make some big choices. Honestly, you'll feel so much better after you take action.
CAPRICORN: FIVE OF SWORDS
You don’t go looking for fights, Capricorn, but you’re not one to back away from them either. If people have brought trouble to your door, then they’re likely to regret it. The Five of Swords asks you to check in on your strategy regarding the particular conflict at hand. Are you getting carried away with the drama, or are you working towards a way out of it? If it’s the former, adjust your attitude. If it’s the latter, keep accelerating out of this messy patch. No one needs this stress.
AQUARIUS: THREE OF PENTACLES
You’re admired and respected, and you’re about to receive confirmation of that this week, Aquarius! Actions speak louder than words. The Three of Pentacles is a promotion kinda card. It shows up when others value our skills, and are in a position to offer us something positive as a result. Make sure you’re visible to people with influence this week. Better yet, apply for your dream job. It might have your name on it!
PISCES: ACE OF SWORDS
Tell the truth. Express your real feelings. You’ve been bottling up your emotions and opinions, and they all need to come out. Take a deep breath and write / text / say your piece! The Ace of Swords shows there may be pushback, but it’s nothing you can’t handle, and this dialogue needs to happen. Time to clear the air and get past this. It starts with truth.
