So, January is – at last – on the wane and we start to edge towards the beginning of the end of Winter.

The Full Moon in Leo this week ignites a sense of playful confidence too. Maybe it’s time to change up your role, wardrobe, outlook, appearance, attitude or interaction with the world… wanna be someone else? Why not?

Let the tarot give you a nudge to try a new kind of vibe or put on an alter ego this week, then watch how it changes what happens around (and to) you.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Five of Coins

Meaning: Being the kind of person who expresses their vulnerabilities and asks for input, guidance or actual support is not your usual stance. You like to fly solo, especially when wounded. But what if you weren’t that way? What if you took the help that would be so readily available?

Try it out. I promise you will be amazed at how much goodwill there is towards you, what wonderful things folk will say and do for you, and how great it makes you feel. You are never alone. You just pretend to like it that way!

Go full woo woo. It suits you because you’re naturally gifted in this respect anyway. So, play the witch, be the witch, get witchy things happening in your realm. Magic!

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Lovers

Meaning: Bring out your inner lover. Share your fantasies, dress up to the nines, flirt outrageously, provoke your partner with loving gestures and compliments, ask someone out. Take romance into your heart and express yourself fully and without fear.

This means stepping out of a comfort zone, but there is much potential for you in your love life out there, just over the horizon… so be brave and go seek it. You deserve a beautiful love life and it’s there to be built. And look out for Geminis and fellow Virgos, if you’re single.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Knight of Coins

Meaning: You are out to win this week, Libra, and you won’t be stopped.
Adopt a never-say-die attitude and out-work everyone around you to get the results you desire.

Anything is possible when you marry your smart mind with your motivated heart, so act like you’re investing 100% and go that extra mile. It might require hard work and effort, but every ounce of it will be repaid in achievement and bonuses. Get what you’re owed.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Justice

Meaning: Act like the highest higher version of yourself this week, and strive to put right all wrongs in your realm. It’s almost like a superhero you… which isn’t that much of a leap as you’re famously strong, powerful, and respected anyway.

Use your power to put things right that have gone off-track or broken down. Protect those you love who are vulnerable right now. Share your strength. Be merciful to those who need a second chance. Rise above and you will reap wonderful rewards now, and down the line.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Six of Cups

Meaning: This week, you become whoever you were when you were little – what they liked doing, playing, being, hanging around with, enjoying and thinking about. Use all tools at your disposal to provoke your old memories this week to rediscover your childhood personality, and notice the threads that still connect you to that 1.0 version.

There is magic to be found in looking backwards with an inquiring, forgiving, kind eye. There is something you’ve lost or forgotten that can be rekindled and will bring authentic joy to your realm. Look back, be the old you, in order to move ahead with genuine passion and pride.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Ten of Cups

Meaning: Turn yourself into a family-first healer and relationship builder this week. Put your relationships at the core of your time, energy and priorities, and bring whatever is needed of you to each dynamic and interaction.

Put others first, not to diminish your power or needs but to reflect on who you actually are in their eyes, what they need of you, and how that makes you feel. Maybe some bonds are worn out? Maybe some need a change? But most, are perfect. You are very loved.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Eight of Swords

Meaning: Banish any and all thoughts about what others might think of you. Smash the mirror! Be yourself; instinctively, spontaneously, and without filters. It’s a risk, right? Who knows how much of ourselves we suppress and trim away?

But this is a week to find out, and to find out with whom or where you most feel you have to shapeshift. Maybe this will result in some changes. Maybe you’re ready to really show someone who you are, no holds barred. Full force.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Ace of Wands

Meaning: You already know who you’re hoping to become, grow into, evolve towards – so this week turn that page quickly and just be that person. Faking it is normal, natural and necessary. So force the change by acting the way you want to, and over time it will become a flow, a habit, a trait you do without thinking.

You are ready to emerge from your chrysalis and fly to new heights, to unleash more of your personality, talent, and charisma. Anyone that’s not ready or able to handle it… well, maybe they weren’t for you anyway. Time to rise, Pisces!
