Aries:
Eight of Swords / VI – The Lovers
You’re not quite feeling it, are you, Aries? On the surface everything’s going well; really well in fact. So why this sense of anxiety; why is your heart aching? For many of you it seems that in your relationships, you’re going through the motions. Spending time together; going out; and yet your heart’s not quite in it. Below the surface, you don’t quite feel like you want to be here, want to be in this. But what’s behind it? It seems you’re missing someone – probably an old love. Someone you lost but perhaps never accepted the loss of. And now it’s like part of you still idealises them; still holds anyone you’re with up to them for comparison; and you become upset when they don’t simply match them. This isn’t fair to anyone – to them, to you, or to the person you were with before and your memory of them. You won’t be able to truly be comfortable if you continue to gaze backwards like this – back to something that had its time but has ended. Nor can you simply stuff your feelings and thoughts down. So this is about release. It’s about recognising the value of what you went through, and who you were with; but then being able to recognise the value of your current relationship independently of that (and this is true for other areas of life this may be playing out in). Consider a ritual; which celebrates and honours what came before; but also cuts the present-day-you free of that attachment. It’s only in doing so that you can view your current relationship clearly and decide whether you wish to continue it. Out of respect for all those involved; it’s necessary that you face up to this.

Taurus:
I – The Magician / Knight of Cups
Open yourself, Taurus, open yourself. Because it’s a magical time for you. Lit brightly, lit by the stars; a time of attraction and a time of knowing just which way to go – so long as you can trust yourself. So if you could ask for anything at all right now; in the knowledge that the path to it will be lit; what would it be? Oh, but so many of you default to the dream partner. To passion. To feeling alive through contact with another. It’s OK. If that’s what you wish, it’s OK. But you won’t get there by staying at home. Outside – actually out into the night at this time – that’s where you need to head. If you’re setting this intention – or any other – then watch carefully. Yes, it needs you to focus. To visualise. But then it’s about where you feel guided to – where that inner urge takes you to. That’s not something you should be doubting at this time; because it feels like it is your time. If you want it, if you truly want it; then it needs you to show yourself; to cross a bridge to where you feel you want to be; and to be ready to dive into your feelings. Act with assuredness and with complete openness. That which you are looking for is also seeking you at this time; and it can be magical. It only needs you to trust yourself.

Gemini:
I – The Magician / Seven of Swords
Stop-start, Gemini, stop-start. You don’t lack in your vision; desire or determination but you sure are hitting setbacks. Not huge ones, but regular ones. Some of you are literally like “what the fuck?”; because you feel like your luck’s out a bit; like you keep having to stop, to redo; or push twice as hard just to get a short distance. Naturally this is getting you down. No-one likes it when their efforts don’t pay off as quickly or easily as they might expect; and no-one like feeling like extra obstacles are being placed in their way. So are you going to just keep on going; keep pushing? Or can you stop to re-evaluate? Your effort isn’t the issue here. But your inflexibility may be. Can you take the time to look over your vision again; and tweak it where necessary? Mercury has been retrograding through your 7th house; and that’s created just a little turmoil for you; opposite your own sign. It may have made you feel a little helpless at times. Now as it continues its transit through your 6th; it may be exposing a bit of strain on you. You may feel that if you alter your plans or take your foot off the gas, you may be letting yourself down. But what you’re actually being given is a window to revise things; to refine things. It doesn’t even have to be that radical a change necessarily; it just needs you to acknowledge what’s not quite working. A simple adjustment; a clearer vision; maybe a brief rest; and you’ll be on your way again.

Cancer:
Queen of Wands / King of Wands
It’s all blowing up a bit; isn’t it, Cancer? Getting into arguments; especially at home for most of you. Quite possibly losing your temper. With a partner, a child or parent, or even a boss; for most of you, it’s with a fire sign (Aries, Leo or Sagittarius; Sun, Moon or Rising). But it’s not good because things are blowing up and when you’re set off at the moment; it’s like a red rag to a bull. And neither of you is coming off well; but it feels like you may be getting the more emotionally bruised here. Are you going to keep stoking this fire? How much does it matter to you to be right at all costs? To have the last word? Be honest about this; where it may be leading; but also where this power struggle may be coming from. There’s no judgement here. You may be fully justified in your anger or rage. But how you play it does matter. Because the other person here seems calmer. Harder for you to touch. How do you rise above this? How do you approach it more constructively? For a start, you need some time away from this person. To recover and to re-group. And you need to channel this energy. To focus it, whether on this or on something else. And own up to yourself about where you feel inadequate. And whether this sense of inadequacy is coming from you; or coming from that other person making you feel small; pushing you for a reaction. There is no right answer other than the honest one. Gaining a clear sense of this will help you decide what to do next – but it’s not worth prolonging a drawn-out war that you cannot win with your current approach. Be prepared to make that shift, for your own sake.

Leo:
Five of Wands / Nine of Wands
You have a need to tread carefully, Leo. Someone close to you isn’t in the most stable of places – in fact they’re potentially quite volatile. In fact they may explode if you do or say the wrong thing. This limits you of course. It limits your natural expressiveness. It frustrates you; because it’s like they’re ready to kick off at you if you do or say the wrong thing. And some of you are playing this role toward others too. So it’s a time to tread carefully. To avoid any sudden moves; because this may result in you being pulled into a conflict that you don’t have that much interest in. No, I’m not telling you to accept mistreatment. But strategy is important here. You may have faced similar situations or characters before; and there is a need to learn from that rather than simply repeating the same mistake. Sometimes it’s better to go the long way around than it is to risk getting burned; and sometimes it’s best to hold fire, bite your tongue, and wait for things to cool off a bit. A test of your patience, your mettle, and your commitment. Better than finding yourself trying to fight fire with fire.

Virgo:
XIX – The Sun / Four of Swords
Loyalty. That’s something you’ve been showing a lot of to someone lately, Virgo. Bending over backwards possibly; and you’re starting to feel hard done by – not because they’re taking advantage – but rather because they don’t even seem to be noticing. And you’re a bit “erm, excuse me?”; because you’re not liking your efforts going unnoticed. From where you are, you’re being warm, generous, kind – what more do you have to do? I’ll be honest, it’s wearing you down. And your sense of loyalty may be misjudged – given they don’t seem to care either way. And to be honest, the more you continue this; the more you might find yourself moving into resentment. Maybe by now you’ve done enough. Maybe you’ve given this person too much power. Maybe it’s time to just let this one go – if you want; you can view it as a letting them see what they’re missing; but in truth this is about freeing yourself. There are neuroses and there are fears underpinning your behaviours here. And that’s OK; so long as you can take the time to deconstruct and to understand them; rather than simply continuing this pattern. A pattern that is a losing battle; a pattern that does not allow for the healing you need. You have nothing to be ashamed of and while it’s nice to have your efforts noticed; you don’t have to bend over backwards for those who don’t need or want it; and you can’t base your own self-worth off of it. Turn away, and go that bit deeper.

Libra:
Eight of Swords / Three of Wands
You’re tense as well, Libra. I don’t feel like you want a fight especially; but you seem to be warning or signalling people to back off, to back away. It’s like you’re concerned about them breaching your calm and pleasant exterior; maybe glimpsing something you don’t want them to see. It feels tight; narrow; difficult to see the hope and the way forward but you don’t necessarily want to admit that; and so you’ve taken up this defensive stance; aiming not to be be provoked into anything and yet feeling quite threatened yourself underneath. It’s all coming from feeling trapped ultimately. Locked into a course without being sure at this time of how it’s going to lead to where you want it to. Not a happy place for you; so what do you do? How do you lose this streak? How do you allow other people; who may actually be able to help; to come close to you? How’s your meditation practice at this time? It feels like you need to drop into yourself; to get a bit more comfortable inside your body; because with your agitation; it’s like you’re some way outside of it at times. You need to use this to become more receptive. Because while you shouldn’t take any shit, you also shouldn’t be assuming the worst of people’s motives. Yes, you do feel trapped and under pressure. But being able to allow people in will benefit you. They want to help; but you need to admit that need for help to yourself too.

Scorpio:
Seven of Swords / XIX – The Sun
You’re a little afraid of opening up to someone, Scorpio; and yet this week you feel the urge to do so. For most of you this is a partner; it’s someone you feel close to and someone you share a lot with. Apart from… this part of yourself. That which you’ve kept hidden. Even closeted, for some of you. Something very private, but very deep. And you’re apprehensive. How will they react? Will they support me or will they recoil in horror? It’s a big deal, and I won’t pretend it’s not. But you feel motivated to do it; to reveal this about yourself; and you should do it; it is the right time for it. More than anything, this comes down to building your relationship on trust and honesty. And now, to deepen it. To invite them to meet this part of you; or to understand this urge; or even this past trauma; depending on what it is. But it’s all you; and you’re ready to open up and share. All the signs are that this will be well received; for you it will be a huge relief ; a massive release; and it will lead you into a greater sense of mutual understanding. What else can you do, other than take a deep breath; and expose that side of you to the light?

Sagittarius:
Page of Wands / VII – The Chariot
Self image. Improving self-image for you, Sagittarius; and this may have been a long time coming. Things are starting to move and to come together for you – and these are things that you’ve set out to do, too. Maybe hesitantly at first; maybe nervously; but it’s been worth taking those tentative steps because it’s starting to pay off and your horizon is getting brighter. It’s giving you an impetus too. Because momentum is starting to build; so you want to add to it; you want things to quicken still further. This week is all about maintaining that increase of pace – not radically but certainly steadily. But it’s also about celebrating yourself; being good to yourself; allowing confidence to breed confidence. So get that makeover or haircut you’ve been waiting for; buy that new outfit – continue to restyle yourself inside and out. You’re at the start of something here. Something that not only shows potential and promise; but can also help to transform your relationship to yourself. Celebrate how far you have come and what you have pulled off. But also keep setting those sights and riding this as far as it will go; because it can take you a lot further; building confidence all the while.

Capricorn:
Six of Pentacles / Page of Cups
Things are shifting a lot and clarifying rapidly, aren’t they, Capricorn? You’re not quite sure what’s driving it; but you’re very aware it’s happening; both for better and for worse at times. But even when it’s more tricky; you’re handling it. Really well too. You’re riding the waves; accepting what comes and keeping going. Really impressive stuff. So can you make a habit of it? Adding receptivity to your obvious staying power? Allowing things to twist and turn as they need to; without needing to know where it’s all going? This is about trust in and surrender to the Universe and to higher powers; to the bigger picture and the greater plan unfolding. That’s challenging for you because you like to be in control. But you are learning this skill and as you work with it it will become more and more natural to you. And that’s huge. To feel but not to be pulled down by those feelings. To get knocked over but stand back up. And to accept those rewards that sometimes seem to come from out of nowhere too. This is something to be optimistic and hopeful about; because it’s where you start to love even the challenging aspects of life. Accepting this as a totality; instead of trying to pick and choose your experiences. It is a rich tapestry; and one that you’re beginning to understand; so don’t be tempted to fall back into old ways – not when you’re doing so well at this.

Aquarius:
Three of Pentacles / Ten of Wands
You’re looking for something new – new opportunities; new ideas; new approaches, Aquarius. That feels like it is your nature; but it’s also a coping method. When the going gets tough; sometimes the water carrier gets going – going far away. But that’s not what’s called for here. Nor is distracting yourself. What are we dealing with? It feels like work; or other big commitments. Something that you signed up to or got into; but now you’re feeling the strain; don’t want to admit to it properly; and you’re looking elsewhere for something else to do. But this is a situation you got yourself into; and as such it can’t be ignored. Nor is it even going that badly necessarily; it just stands to deteriorate if you don’t honour your commitment to it. This is actually a lack of self-confidence and a lack of conviction. A lack of willingness to see this project through to its conclusion. And it’s kinda knee-jerk in nature. This is testing you. There is pressure. But that doesn’t mean you have to back off or write it off. It’s not actually as hard as you’re perceiving it; but it does require you to re-commit and to take it seriously. To knuckle down and get on with it. A struggle, but one that will help develop you. And from which the rewards will be all the more valuable; you just need to trust yourself to reach them.

Pisces:
Two of Swords / IX – The Hermit
There’s a refreshing lack of fear about about you at the moment, Pisces. Not hiding; not only seeking the easy road; you’re focusing your aims and seem very willing to do what it takes to get there. And that means facing fears. It means facing down demons. And not just in the abstract and not just in talking about them (valuable though that is), but out there in the big bad world too. You won’t be bullied, you won’t be cowed, you won’t be overrawed. Not this time; and not after all you’ve been through. This is huge, and it’s something to grab onto. You’re trusting yourself so much more; even if the path isn’t simple – you’re recognising that it is only in travelling this way that you can ultimately arrive. So yes, maintain it. Harness that decisiveness and that willpower; and remember that you can access them at any time in future too. No need to hide, no need to backtrack – you got this one. And isn’t it freeing? Isn’t it great when anxiety doesn’t have to rule the day? This can transform your self-belief and open new doors and hidden parts of yourself. All you need to do is follow it.
