Aries:
Meditation / Eight of Cups
Going inwards to break outwards. Something has been troubling you, Aries; and for many this feels connected to your relationships. These are not riven with strife or conflict; and yet you’re feeling unfulfilled. It’s like things have somehow become wrong; so slowly you haven’t even noticed – but now you’re feeling uncomfortable; out of place; things are disjointed but you’re struggling to put your finger on it. You’ve changed. Or they’ve changed. Or you’ve drifted apart a little; or maybe you felt there was more there than there ever was? All of these questions are coming up for you; they’re floating around; sometimes so fast that you can’t get on top of them. The mind-chatter needs to be slowed this week so that you can get down inside yourself. Sinking deep. Examining what feelings actually underlie this, and what your internal guidance system has to tell you. Do not act in any haste at this time; but trust that the truth about what you need to do lies within; and it’s something that you can reach for. And that’s what your decision about what you do here must be based on. This does not feel like a bad relationship or an abusive relationship; but it may no longer be the right relationship for you. So do you work to make it better; or do you leave it behind in the knowledge that something better for who you are now is out there? This is what you’ll be considering this week. And on this, all those answers lie within; once you get below the mental and the reactive level.

Taurus:
The Tower / Page of Wands
Someone from your past is re-emerging this week, Taurus. One of those out of the blue contacts. A simple message but one that stirs up all kinds of feelings. With Venus retrograde in your 7th house, this feels like an old romantic partner or business partner – for most of you it seems to be the romantic type. Exploding back into your life and taking you by surprise – and potentially stirring up a bunch of unresolved feelings. There is a risk of being very shaken by this; and it provoking a purely reactive response in you; but to do so will not be beneficial so please don’t be caught out by it. You’ve grown and matured since your last encounter with this person; you’re older and wiser. So take the time to look deeply into this and to consider your response. Because there’s a good chance this person is re-appearing as part of a cycle – and this then can be a chance to cut yourself free of any remaining ties you have to them. There is a small chance – a maybe, that they’ve changed; and that is your judgement call to make; but you won’t make it by letting them call the shots. Whether you entertain them; or whether you send them straight back under the rock they crawled out from (for those with a bad, tumultuous or painful history with them) – you have to maintain and assert your own boundaries. Any sign of them not respecting those is the biggest red flag possible for you. Don’t be tempted to throw away your progress and integrity if they don’t actually hold any respect for you; and be wary about thinking the leopard may have changed its spots; especially at this volatile time. And if you still wish to pursue reconciliation (which is your choice to make); do so slooooowly. No rushing into anything. And no more chances if they mess up again. Fool me once – shame on you; fool me twice – shame on me.

Gemini
Two of Cups / Ten of Wands
There is a chance for a new relationship for you this week, Gemini; or for those already in one; a chance for it to deepen – to move on to the next stage. And you want it. You want it really badly, and so does the other person; but the decision is not straightforward. One or both of you is very stretched at this time. Weighed down with responsibilities and possibly with worries. And while there’s a side to this that’s like a breath of fresh air; even a refuge; lightening the mood so much – in another sense this does mean an extra commitment; it means extra time and energy to direct and devote to the relationship; and this is what’s stopping you from simply going for it. There’s been a lot of pressure on you of late; and for some your mind is on that too. So what do you do when something comes up like this? And when you may feel so passionately towards them? Communication is needed here; you need to work out a way to deal with this together; it actually requires some planning and – for a lot of you – it requires making a decision on whether you start to drop some other responsibilities. You may have invested heavily in work or other projects – but ultimately what will that be for if it stops you from enjoying it with someone else? The right person is worth giving some things up for. But the right person will also wait; so you don’t need to act rashly. But you do need to be clear and honest with them, and with yourself. If this is true love; it will find a way. But that needs you to be trusting and honest too; because there is a solution, and you’ll come to it together.

Cancer:
Four of Cups / Three of Pentacles
Lost deep in thought and deep in yourself because you’re tired, Cancer. It’s been a rough period for you; and you’re struggling to find joy. I’m feeling a sense of malaise with you; you’re unfulfilled and possibly feeling unappreciated too. And it’s not because you haven’t been working – you absolutely have – you’ve put so much effort in but you don’t feel recognised, you don’t feel seen. And it’s leading you to close off a bit – maybe even giving rise to some resentment, though you’re not displaying that on the surface. You may be sitting around simmering in this a bit too much though; and you may be being a little harsh on those who you feel don’t appreciate your efforts – although feeling taken for granted is never comfortable. But you need to go get your joy back this week; whatever that looks like. For most it doesn’t feel like it’s rest that’s called for. You need to do something active; something tangible; something that gets your pulse racing a bit; and that might mean something a bit out of left-field for you. This is a time to focus on yourself; but what it’s not is a time to sulk. Invest your time in yourself; and do it by getting out and doing something fun and new. With the focus taken away from work and from the routine; you should start to feel a new lease on life emerging.

Leo:
Strength / Four of Wands
There’s a project you’ve been working on for some time, Leo. Possibly without getting the pay-off that you feel you’ve earned from it; nor much in the way of praise for what you’ve put into it – and you do like to be praised, to be seen. So you’ve been having some second thoughts and you may be feeling a little down over this. And this week, that may move you towards lashing out at someone, or at the world in general – but unsurprisingly that’s not going to be productive. It’s going to be a little longer before you receive your rewards; and that’s something that you’re going to need to work with. With your nerves frayed; you may be more easily wound up as this week goes on too. There’s a need for self-care here; this is what will allow you to retain stability. This week is about being kind to yourself; it’s about affording yourself the recognition you deserve for the efforts you have made; and it’s about trusting that you will be rewarded sooner or later. Above all it’s about self-control; catching yourself before you do or say something regrettable; and where necessary getting adequate rest and relaxation. It is a long-term project that you’re engaged in; and to continue with it you need to take good care of yourself. Keep a close eye on your energy levels; and let your body tell you what it needs – and be kind to it. This is what will carry you through to a time where there is less strain on you, and will give you the skills and resources to maintain what you’re doing.

Virgo:
Nine of Swords / Nine of Wands
You’re not feeling heard, Virgo; and you’re not feeling supported. You’re feeling like you’re having to do everything yourself; and you worry about easing off a little bit; because you feel like everything will come crashing down if you do. The signs of strain are all there; whether or not you communicate them openly and fully; and it’s really weighing on you; as you struggle to see a way through and beyond this. It feels like a lot of you are lacking trust – you feel like people haven’t taken your difficulties seriously in the past; and so you’re reticent to even talk about them now. You feel a bit like a burden; or that it could be troublesome for others for you to do so. But these thought patterns are purely destructive to you; and you need to be more open than this. You perceive a danger here; and that is that when you finally get the chance to confide in someone, you feel like the dam will burst and everything will come pouring out. But sometimes, Virgo, sometimes it needs to. And whether it’s a friend, a loved one or a professional who you open up to; you need to be able to trust them to simply hold that space for you whilst you decide what to do next. Journalling is also strongly indicated for you at this time – things will be far less overwhelming once you get them down on paper and this will allow you to organise your thoughts and your processes. But don’t think that you don’t deserve support and don’t think that nobody will listen or care – you do need to be able to talk this out and begin to plan what you do from here; because it is getting on top of you – but somebody does want to help.

Libra:
Ace of Swords / Six of Cups
You have a decision to make this week, Libra – and for some of you this is an important crossroads you have arrived at in terms of how you shape yourself and your future, and who you wish to be. It is about priorities more than anything. It feels like it’s playing out predominantly with regards to your career; and what steps you take or don’t take towards it. Because there’s an opportunity in front of you; and it’s very much a take-it-or-leave-it situation; with no in-between. So it comes down to your own readiness to take this step; and what you might need to give up in order to do so. This is your decision and yours alone to take; so you need to identify what’s driving you before you do so. The answers lie somewhere in the past. You were taught to be a certain way and to do certain things; but over-identifying with that programming is something that may really hold you back at this time. But for others of you… for others of you there is still hurt from the past; there is still trauma and that is something that you need to work to understand and to heal before you take on this responsibility – because what’s coming in does require your full commitment. In making this decision, you need to centre yourself and you need to do so calmly and rationally. It comes down to your own current needs and to what you’re capable of fulfilling at this time – for some this may be a healing experience but for others it could overload you. So it is on a knife-edge and it will need to be a careful choice. In making it, honour your own needs more than anything else – don’t push yourself harder than you can reasonably sustain; but don’t hold yourself back based on anything someone else has told you about yourself. And once you’ve made your decision, don’t look back.

Scorpio:
Eight of Wands / Queen of Cups
Sudden insight for you this week, Scorpio, and it’s something that propels you toward action. This feels like a lot of you are going to be receiving downloads, or seeing signs or synchronicities; and suddenly you’ll be able to understand a situation you’ve been dealing with with far more clarity. It’s been an emotional time for you of late; and you’ve been battling to keep your head above water rather than totally succumbing to it – but now you’re getting this flash of inspiration and you’re quickly going to know how to put it into action; a massive shift coming more or less overnight. Here there’s no sense overthinking and no sense in questioning it; it feels right and you know that you can trust it. And it’s likely to shine a light on what have been repetitive patterns in your life – and show you how to break free of them and to put whatever is behind them to rest. I said it needs you to act, and it does; because this is how you do yourself, and this insight, justice. There’s something you need to move towards; and doing so will place clear daylight between you and whatever has been holding you back. The energy supports you making that break, so go with it.

Sagittarius:
Page of Cups / Ten of Swords
A difficult, even turbulent week for you, Sagittarius; as something that seemed beautiful may turn sour. This feels like it’s mostly playing out in your relationships. You’ve been very starry-eyed about this person up until now and the honeymoon period has felt wonderful. But it feels like you may be in for a rude awakening. Betrayal and cheating seem to be the main themes coming through; as your partner turns out to not be quite who you thought they were – or if you’ve been the one who has been less than honest, then that is being exposed at this time. Vigilance is urged and you will need to take whatever you learn absolutely seriously and to recognise its implications – because without trust any relationship is ultimately going to be dead in the water. A harsh realisation; but it’s one that needs you to stare reality in the face because this is the point where you truly learn about each other and if there’s any real future in this. Broken promises are just that – broken – and opening yourself up to the same thing happening again is very risky indeed. This comes down to your own self-worth; because instances like this are seldom isolated. If this is ending things then it is best to make a quick break rather than brushing it under the carpet and hoping it doesn’t repeat. Better you found out now than later; before you’d committed even more of yourself to this. Yes, it’s still painful. You may want to make excuses for them but it’s best that you don’t as they can account for themself if they choose to. When it hits, take it completely seriously and take the steps that you know in your heart are appropriate; reminding yourself that there is no need to tolerate mistreatment or dishonesty; and that you’ll grow from this and emerge wiser and stronger.

Capricorn:
The Sun / Knight of Pentacles
It’s your time to shine, Capricorn. The energy is vibrant for you and it opens doors to manifestation. Your work and creative projects are highlighted here as you are urged to get to work on whatever your ideas or visions are. Because this is a time when you can easily attract help and support; and it’s a time when your work will be valued; so you can expect to attract clients and you may be in line for some quick successes. Of course, this is just the start as this is where you put down roots – it’s where you set the tone and intention for future successes rather than a simple flash in the pan. So yes, you should welcome what comes more easily at this time; but remember to play the long game too – you want this to be sustainable and you want this easy flow to continue. Whatever you invest in at this time feels like it’s going to grow and to multiply; so you won’t want to rest on your laurels. There is space for some of you to attract lasting forms of collaboration too – and these shouldn’t interfere in any way with your own vision or goals. A highly fruitful time; so allow yourself to work with these energies; as they offer potential for big advances and gains.

Aquarius:
Knight of Wands / Ace of Pentacles
Someone’s presenting you with an opportunity this week, Aquarius. Someone dynamic, who rates your work very highly and wants to give you a leg-up. This may be a job offer, a chance to collaborate, or someone acting as a mentor; but what they’re offering you appears to be a golden opportunity to lay foundations for you to flourish in the future. Their character or how they express themself may lead you to feel a little reticent to take them up on their offer, however. While they sincerely want to guide you; they may seem a little brash or abrasive or want to call all the shots for you; and this is where you will need to ensure you hold your own when negotiating with them. After all this is about your future and how they can assist you with building it – not just about how you can simply do whatever they tell you. So there may be the potential for clashes here – it doesn’t necessarily appear to be plain-sailing. You’ll need to be pretty firm with them in terms of your own needs and goals; check the small-print; and ensure that you are actually able to pull in the same direction – because that doesn’t appear to be guaranteed, it appears to be there to be won. This doesn’t mean you should turn them down or be overly pessimistic; but it does mean that you should go in with your eyes open. Make sure you know what you’re signing up to and getting yourself into; and if it meets your needs, go for it – but don’t sell yourself short, and don’t commit yourself to simply dancing to someone else’s tune.

Pisces:
Nine of Wands / Six of Swords
You’re feeling stretched and exposed, Pisces. Tiring. This is hard-going; and it’s been like this for a while; and you don’t feel anyone understands. Losing hope. Losing faith in yourself. Waiting for someone to reach out – even for a knight in shining armour to come to your aid. There’s so much sadness to you here; maybe even resignation; like this is starting to set in. Hope is badly needed, a change is badly needed; and a change is on the way – if you can open yourself to it because it feels like some of you are closing yourselves off and thinking of giving up; and my heart goes out to you because this feels like a painful and lonely place to be. It’s vital at this time for you to gain a fresh perspective and a more hopeful outlook than this – because this is a phase you’re passing through; and it need not be forever. The roots of this seem to be very deep; this is an old pain that has surfaced at this time as it remains unhealed. There are things you keep in your life that remind you of that past; and there’s an extent to which you over-identify with that past too; and whatever you’re going through at the moment seems to have triggered those old feelings and brought them to the surface. There has to be healing here; you have to make space to alter your relationship to what came before because you’re much more than this. For some reason, it’s hitting you particularly hard at this time. You’re in need of space. Physical space and/or mental space; however those can be achieved. Some of you will be able to travel and that distance will help a great deal. For others – you need to open yourself to more joyful things in life and to allow support to come to you; because on some level, you’re blocking it. I don’t see a quick fix here; but I do see a process of re-alignment that can take place. But it means making space to heal; and it means allowing for help to be offered; and to accept it. This appears to be a stage you need to pass through – but don’t get caught in the trap of staying in it longer than you need to.
