Aries:
Three of Swords / Knight of Pentacles
It feels like you have a need to protect what you see as your own territory this week, Aries. Possibly to protect family members. Somebody is hurting, and it’s probably someone very close to you. And the hurt has been inflicted by someone; someone acting quite callously and possibly not anticipating the extent of the harm they’ve caused; but it’s someone who is very capable of triggering this response within them. Your instinct is to protect, but more than that, it’s to fight back on their behalf, to fight fire with fire. Be careful that you don’t overstep some boundaries here. This isn’t necessarily your fight. Your primary role needs to be helping the person this has happened to through their experience and their mistreatment, making yourself and your home a safe space for them to recover. If they haven’t asked you to act on their behalf, don’t assume it’s your place to. Caring deeply is vital, but their battles are not your battles and you risk causing further harm if you recklessly intervene. Your stance can be defensive and protective, but don’t go charging into anything prematurely; no matter how much you feel the urge to.

Taurus:
Seven of Cups / Judgement
You need to go slow this week, Taurus. This is where you draw on your experience. Something is attracting you, drawing you in – but it’s a situation that’s a bit more complicated than it appears on first glance. For a lot of you this seems to be an attractive new partner, someone who you could easily fall for or attach to. Except… you don’t know all that much about them. And not everything can be taken at face value at this time. Think back to when you’ve quickly become involved in the past, and how things have gone once you learned a bit more. In this case, you have a need to learn more about them, about their situation, possibly about their temperament or someone they’re attached to. Because I’m feeling some potential volatility here, that this situation can blow up in your face in some sense, so it’s important that you don’t get carried away. With what you’ve learned in the past, there’s no need to be naive. And this may yet go somewhere, just be sure you have all the information at hand before you start to commit anything, including your heart; and if it starts to feel a bit off, don’t ignore that. You won’t lose anything by taking it slow, but real risks are there if you don’t; so avoid biting off more than you can chew, and back away if the heat suddenly gets turned up on you.

Gemini:
Queen of Swords / Knight of Swords
You’re in two minds this week, Gemini, but then when are you ever not? You may be getting fixated on something, either someone or a situation, and maybe drawn into arguments or obsession over it. But the fixation isn’t actually being driven by what you’re facing – it’s a projection, a coping method; and it comes from somewhere else, something else, something incomplete. It feels like an unmet desire, or something from your past that remains incomplete in some sense; and it may well have been on your mind of late in the form of daydreams. It feels like it relates to a different place, somewhere you visited and have a yearning to return to. But it’s been calling to you, you haven’t known what to do about it, and you’ve coped by focusing your attention elsewhere. So you have a choice – do you return to the old, to reconnect with what wasn’t finished; or do you finally let that go and focus on the new? This is something you need to be very calm and rational in considering, not denying your feelings but not just charging off quickly either. What matters here is what is real and has real potential, not what is likely to be just a fantasy or a diversion. Don’t hold back in pursuing what you genuinely want, but be relentlessly honest with yourself and anyone else involved about what you’re actually doing here and why; holding yourself to a high but fair standard.

Cancer:
Knight of Pentacles / Nine of Swords
You’ve got the vision and you’ve been working towards it, but how’s it going, Cancer? It feels like stresses are coming up. And it relates to material stuff, so this is happening either at work or at home, and it’s causing major doubts in the big project you’ve taken on. At least one person reading this is in the lengthy task of building their own home, and something is flaring up around that this week – issues with the land you’re building on, or with the actual nature of the building project itself. Others are finding what seemed like an ideal job or contract to suddenly be throwing up difficulties that you hadn’t anticipated. In each of these cases it’s hitting hard and you may feel like throwing in the towel and walking away. But that isn’t the answer here – this is testing and trying and it’s obviously not the ideal time of the year for it; but far less is it a good time to be making snap decisions. What is needed is for you to revisit your initial plans and to patiently make some refinements to them, and that’s also something you can take a bit of time over. This is a long-term project, after all, and you’re looking to build something that will endure. It needs you to take responsibility, both for your earlier decisions and for where you’re at now; but more than anything it’s about your ingenuity and creativity – being able to look at the overall picture and to begin to craft solutions, rather than allowing yourself to be dragged down or provoked into a reaction. There’s nothing wrong with your goal, this is just about amending the route you take to get there. As this is a lot, some of you will also benefit from a holiday, time away over the coming period – factor this in to your plans if you possibly can, because this flare-up is draining you a bit and making it harder for you to act coolly.

Leo:
Queen of Swords / The Moon
Reunification, possibly a mending of bridges, is a feature of this week for you, Leo. This feels like it’s taking place mostly within your family; where there may have been estrangement, and maybe some deep wounds. For most this is with parents or siblings, but for some of you it’s children who you may not have seen for some time. And you badly want things to not be as they have been, you want that connection, you want that joy. But some of you are understandably apprehensive – you’ve been hurt here before. Maybe it was their fault, maybe it was yours, maybe it was a combination of you or maybe it was unfortunate circumstances; but you don’t necessarily trust this situation and you don’t really want to have to walk on eggshells. Trying to deal maturely with family issues including wounds and hurts is something that comes up around the holiday period and that things may have been particularly painful around this time of year in the past may well be putting you even more on edge. The first thing is to make no assumptions – because this may well be a genuine olive branch being offered. At the same time, you have to keep a cool head yourself – everyone here knows how to provoke each other, should they choose to. If that means ensuring you can retreat or take time out at times, then do. Better than unnecessarily stoking possible flames. This can be wonderful and healing for some of you, but you’ll need to demonstrate maturity and tact in your dealings with them. Keeping your own integrity doesn’t mean letting pride get in the way, but nor does it mean not protecting yourself at all. Proceed, but do so with caution, and ensure you’re giving them a fair crack of the whip too.

Virgo:
The World / King of Swords
What do you want, Virgo? Genuinely and most truly, once you cut away the perfectionism and possibly the desire to live up to someone else’s standards? Which isn’t to say you shouldn’t aim very high indeed, but sometimes when we do so we forget to allow ourselves to pursue our far more modest needs. Because some of you just want to feel loved and supported and safe and comfortable, and yet you keep putting that to one side because you view it as conflicting with your more over-arching goals – like if you prioritise those immediate needs then you’d somehow be avoiding the hard work. But having your basic needs and desires met is essential to you being able to feel secure enough to go after those bigger prizes. Some of you have lost track of those details, or at the very least have deprioritised them. As the year draws to a close, there’s a bit of a rebalancing required. So yes, give yourself credit for the very real progress you’ve made in 2018, because it hasn’t been easy-going. But you need to start to factor this stuff in more too; and that needs to start today, it needs to start with how you spend the remaining couple of weeks of the year, and that needs to be how you go on. It’s OK to ask others to remind you they care, and it’s OK to remind them that you do too; and it’s OK to recognise your need for those relationships to become closer. That won’t happen if you don’t say what you need. It’s not a huge leap, but what it can provide is more stability and security, and that will ultimately help with your much loftier goals. There’s no need to see this as an either/or.

Libra:
Page of Swords / Five of Wands
It feels like some of you literally wanna scream right now, Libra. It feels really intense and like things might bubble over for you, but also like the conflict is internal. You feel unsure of yourself, even trapped, but when you think so quickly, that can project out really easily. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re taking this out on anyone else, but you may be leaping to conclusions about what’s actually bothering you. These are old thought patterns and beliefs and ones that you may default to when under stress – they’re indicators of stuff you’ve never worked through and cleared; but they’re not what’s true, deep down. Do you really take the time out to get in touch with your feelings, with what your body is actually telling you; or at time of stress or distress do you just resort to telling yourself some old stories, which are comforting simply because they’re familiar? You really need to ground and to start to feel more deeply. And record it, write it down, discuss it with someone appropriate, because I feel like you’re blocking yourself from what you need to know and from being able to learn and to develop. You know less about yourself than you think you do, and having that in mind is what will allow you to find what it is that you actually need to be working through at this time. It comes down to you to do this work, and that means making a commitment to get to the bottom of things. You can’t reach inner peace if you don’t allow yourself to understand the totality of who you are; or impose self-limiting views upon yourself.

Scorpio:
The Guardian / Five of Swords
You’re generally good at standing up for yourself, Scorpio. Or where you don’t feel confident to, you’re good at putting up protective barriers. But there are some environments where you find this harder, where an inferiority complex can still surface, and it feels like this is coming up for you this week. Some of you are dealing with family at this time of year, and not only are things potentially tense, but you may feel less able to stand up for yourself. Yet if it was someone else facing unfair treatment, you’d be the first to stand up for them; so what’s happening here is that you’re almost regressing or reverting to an old role. Old habits die hard, even for you, and you’re not used to feeling powerless, but then you’re not normally so far removed from what you view as safe and solid ground. So there is a risk of you being triggered here. And you’re going to need to catch yourself before you react, otherwise an old story may just repeat. Your first responsibility is to yourself, and when you feel something so deeply, and when it hits you right where it hurts, you can be at risk of such a reaction. Spend some time this week recognising and celebrating your achievements and who you have become in adulthood, because it’s not been easygoing for most of you. See yourself in your absolute best light, and affirm yourself strongly. The more of that you can carry into these encounters, the less likely they are to have a detrimental effect on you. And remember that if someone is trying to get under your skin; you’re allowed to walk away, you’re allowed to prioritise your own safety and integrity, rather than being drawn into something unhealthy.

Sagittarius:
Eight of Cups / Three of Pentacles
You’ve made a lot of changes to your life this year, Sagittarius, A lot of improvements, even though it’s been hard-going and uphill much of the time. And you’re getting there – you can see very clear daylight between where you are now and where you were in January, and you deserve credit for that. But you’re not quite there yet, so you can’t rest for too long at this stage; and it feels like you have the determination in place to keep at it. What you left behind had been painful, indeed you still feel some of that pain, but that doesn’t mean that cutting loose from it was easy to do or even to decide upon, because you still feel some sense of responsibility there. But you were being held back, you were blocked from your potential, and the steps you have taken have made that far more clear to you. This has freed up creativity for you, and you feel capable of new projects and types of work now; and this is going to be your focus heading into 2019. So at this time you’re planning hard whilst still keeping moving. You need space to express yourself, you need work or outlets that allow you to show yourself and allow for growth – run-of-the-mill work just won’t satisfy you now; and with this it feels like it needs to offer practical and real help to other people in some sense. This in itself is evidence that you were right to leave behind what you did, because this is coming from increased self-confidence. Allow yourself to reflect upon this, but don’t look back with any false longing; you’re building something far brighter and more solid for yourself now.

Capricorn:
Ace of Cups / Ace of Swords
You’re reconsidering some things this week, Capricorn. Some things that you may have taken for granted. What do you want out of your relationships? Indeed what does a satisfying and meaningful relationship look like for you? This is possibly something to spend some time meditating on and writing about. Because it feels like you really want to push outwards and get hold of something new; and this may mean quite a radical break with how you’ve approached these things in the past. And there is something new on offer for you at this time, but you may have to re-align your sights either to notice it at all; or to see how this can actually fit with you, rather than inventing a reason to discount it. You’re naturally stubborn and don’t easily shift to new ways of doing things. But it does’t feel like you’re happy with the old approach, and there’s no need to make a virtue out of what may once have been a necessity – you need to be more fluid in your approach than that. This doesn’t mean you just need to grab whatever’s in front of you; but it does mean recognising your own evolution and the possibilities that it can open up. If you find yourself inspired to move in a new direction, and if deep down this feels like something you want to explore and pursue; don’t hold yourself back unnecessarily; allow yourself to shift and change with it and to go after it.

Aquarius:
The Emperor / Six of Cups
You’re charging headlong forwards at this time, Aquarius. It’s been business as usual for you, and some of you are quite set in your ways by now. Just… ease off the gas a little, please. You don’t always know best, and there is a need for you to be adaptable at this time. It feels like there are messages heading your way, but you may have to listen carefully to understand their full meaning. While this may mean phonecalls, or text messages for some of you; I do feel like psychic sensitivity is more important for many of you this week. Bits and pieces of crucial information or guidance that you may miss if you’re too focused elsewhere, so you really need to slow down and pay some attention. Don’t discount anything that comes through, even if it feels like a passing whisper or an obscure sign or symbol – trust your first instinct on seeing or hearing it. I feel like for a lot of you, you’re also being called on to look closely at the way you do things more generally; those patterns that you picked up a long time ago and that includes how you see yourself. Whose ideas did you internalise when you were much younger, and how have those shaped and limited you? Where do you feel restricted and where does it come from? The messages you receive are likely to give you some pointers in that direction, and with them may come sudden moments or flashes of insight. Take all of it in, and give yourself the time to reach an understanding of the changes this is guiding you to make within your life.

Pisces:
Meditation / Queen of Cups
You’re getting your spark back this week, Pisces; and to say it’s overdue would be an understatement. It’s been a tough time and you may have felt close to going under at certain points in recent months. But suddenly you’re regaining focus and perspective and finding ways to feel deeply without simply being overwhelmed. A lot of this is coming from you developing or possibly re-asserting your spiritual practice; of being able to re-establish the deep connection that you need there. This is both grounding you but also allowing you to develop a much greater perspective on what you’re facing on a individual basis without hiding from it. This is something that you need to maintain from here; and you can see how it’s helping you to do so. It’s also allowing you to be more genuine in your love for others, especially for those of you who may have used this as a distraction from working on yourselves at times. All of this is allowing you to look forward with more hope, and to tentatively start to put plans into place for what you wish to work on over the next year. You deserve credit for getting back on top of things like this; but it’s vital now you’re here that you don’t let it slip again; be kind to yourself and don’t take on more than you’re able, but make the time to maintain the work that has brought you up to the surface again.
