Your Tarotscope: Readings for all 12 Signs for 14-20 January 2019

Aries:

Ace of Swords / Wand Mother

This is a difficult choice for you, Aries. There’s something unresolved – feelings that you’re not sure whether to dive into. And now you’re presented with a situation, a possibility, that would need you to dive into them were you to decide to explore it. You sense that as a risk. It could disrupt your stability, all that you have achieved; yet you also know that leaving this unexplored and unresolved might mean having to re-encounter these emotional difficulties later on, and possibly in less favourable circumstances and maybe regretting a missed opportunity. Do you potentially compromise your stability now, or then? The main message coming through is “Do not underestimate what you can deal with.” You have grown far stronger in recent times and you are capable of asserting yourself on this, should you choose to. For many of you this concerns a potential relationship, and one where you simultaneously perceive something that may be worth exploring but also that possible destabilising effect. For others it involves taking on some additional responsibility, but one which carries an emotional weight too. But what you may be underestimating is your capacity to multi-task. Your ability to have your cake and eat it. But either way, there’s a need to be decisive at this time. What will be far more destabilising is the umming and ahhing – the dipping your toe in the water but still not truly committing or walking away. So you need to be firm in what you decide. But be confident in your ability to handle this.

Taurus:

14 – Grace / 0 – Innocence

Work suddenly got hard for you, Taurus. And in an unexpected way. Challenges or barriers that you hadn’t anticipated. And now moving forward in the same way you were is taking far more effort and ingenuity than it had been before; and trying to just push on is wearing you down and leaving you scratching your head a bit. It’s going to require a change in approach. You certainly had been making progress until recently, and you may feel like all of that was down to you. And you should certainly be appreciating your own efforts. But there’s a need at the same time to recognise that you haven’t got here all alone; and where you’ve had help you need to showing gratitude to those responsible too. But there’s also a need to look at this situation and probably to figure out an alternative approach. While that might feel like abandoning a tried and tested method, in practice what you’re doing isn’t paying off at the moment. So it means going at it fresh in a different way, recognising that you still have plenty to learn; but also making space to truly value those who help you in whatever sense, whether these are direct colleagues or collaborators or those cheering you on or assisting you in other ways. As you strengthen those connections, you can expect the going to become much easier again.

Gemini:

Ace of Cups / 12 – Art

Oh Gemini! This is an exciting week for you, it feels like a huge breakthrough as a big opportunity emerges and I’m just getting this overwhelming burst of feeling for you. Whether this is a sudden relationship, developments at work; or some other really happy surprise heading your way, it feels huge and suddenly your self-doubt is vanishing into the background. Dive deep into that exuberance, that exhilaration; drink it down deep because this can replenish you, and you’re in need of that. And the situation emerging is one that you can trust; it’s right there for you and shows signs of being long-lasting and hugely beneficial. The only thing is not to get carried away. Not to put the rest of your life on hold. With enjoyment also comes some extra responsibility, and this is something that you’re adding to the rest of your life and your existing responsibilities. So you’ll need to balance this out, and that will take planning, and it will take you seeing it as part of a bigger picture rather than existing in and of itself. This is there to grow you and it’s there to fulfil you; but what you mustn’t do is let go of anything else that also demands your attention. So you’re going to be busier. But it’s going to be worth it.

Cancer:

Ten of Swords / Eight of Cups

You’ve been focusing totally on the task at hand of late, Cancer. Attention to detail and living very much in the moment. But it also feels like you haven’t been planning very far ahead and now something may catch you off-guard; and even threatens to scupper your plans. This feels adversarial – you’re going to encounter someone this week and you won’t be sure whether their intentions are benign or harmful. You need to get your head up and start planning for this now, because if there are genuine warning signs, you’ll be able to start to identify them. And in any case it can’t be full steam ahead. This may be someone you can negotiate your way past, but it also may be that you find your path blocked. Don’t assume it’s definitely the second of these, but begin to prepare for it being so – you need a way out and a plan B just in case. And if it is that, it may well be something that stuns or shocks you; but it’s vital not to stay in a downhearted place for long – it looks like a covert blessing; and whether you have to take a different route or whether you can make your way past; you’ll be moving on to something better. Remember to keep your head up when moving forward from this point; it’s only focusing too inwardly or too much on the immediate; or simply not moving at all, that spells danger for you at this time.

Leo:

Five of Pentacles / Nine of Cups

You’re having to work on instinct at this time, Leo, because the path ahead isn’t clear; and this is making you uneasy. Looking around for signs that you’re doing it right, or for support; but it very much comes down to you and your ability to trust yourself, your surroundings, and that things will become clearer sometime soon. So yes, it’s putting a strain on you; but it’s only if you allow that sense to weigh you down and halt your progress that you can expect to have any real difficulties. And you have the inner reserves to deal with this situation, and what’s more dealing with this is going to build your self-confidence. For some of you, you’re feeling unsupported at work; and for others, it’s a partner or family or friends who seem conspicuous by their absence; but in all of these cases it comes down to your own resolve. While you can’t necessarily see the way ahead clearly at this time; you still have a vision of where it is that you wish to get to – and this challenge is a part of your route there, in case you were in any doubt. Grab onto that vision, make it bigger and more real; and allow that to carry you through, same in the knowledge that you’re moving towards it.

Virgo:

Seven of Wands / Cup Mother

How far have you come in recent times, Virgo; and how far has this elevated you? How much broader are your horizons now? Think back a few months to where you were then, and how much things have changed. That’s a victory in itself and it’s one that needs you to celebrate it. And it’s just as well, because someone or multiple people may challenge you this week; they may try to pull you into some kind of petty argument or squabble. And petty is the key word there because whatever comes up – it’s something that you’re beyond now, and while they may try to knock you off your perch; in practice there’s no need for this to even trouble you – you can look at the situation; laugh at it, and realise that where you would have been drawn in before, now they can’t really touch you unless you allow yourself to be pulled down to their level. And it’s not your job to descend to their level. Even where this is highly emotional for them (and it may be), your job here is both to protect your own progress but also to be a role model. If they are amenable, seeing you take this approach may lead to them elevating themselves too. At the same time, please don’t fall into self-importance. This isn’t about you being better than them in any sense. It’s simply a stage in your own development that you happen to have reached. You may even be able to offer a hand-up – just don’t allow yourself to be dragged down.

Libra:

Seven of Wands / Two of Pentacles

It feels like you’re getting a lot of social invitations this week, Libra. A chance to see old friends and to enjoy yourself. And yet you’re not quite in the mood; you’re not quite feeling it. This was your crowd and this was your scene, and maybe for a long time; but as you’ve developed, you’ve changed and you feel like you’ve outgrown this and possibly outgrown them. Try not to be too conceited or stuck up though – they do have something to offer you and its worth dipping into this a bit; whilst also ensuring you still keep moving on all the new developments in your life too. That’s the balance that you’re going to be seeking to strike at this time. Touching in with the old whilst also continuing the new – and that requires a bit of planning and plenty of making sure you don’t spread yourself too thin. These are people you have happy memories with and people who admire you, or they wouldn’t be asking you; so you can still be affectionate, supportive and grateful. Yes, there’s lots more in your life now. But maintain these connections and not just for old times’ sake – you may find you still have plenty to offer each other in future; even if your relationship to them has changed. And where you feel you have to decline – make sure you do it politely.

Scorpio:

3 – The Creator / 5 – The Hierophant

It feels like someone’s really got it in for you this week, Scorpio. Like they wanna lay down the law to you and tear into you verbally. Accusing you of this and that and really looking to push your buttons. Or for some of you it’s reversed and you’re the one doing that (and if you’re moving into that role; it’s definitely time to take a big pause and ask yourself what you’re doing that for and what you’re looking to gain). I feel accusations of laziness, self-absorption, or possibly personal insults around your beauty or lifestyle. It’s nasty and they clearly want to provoke a reaction from you. It’s also vital that you don’t allow them to – they’re testing your mettle; but this isn’t someone you should be offering time and energy to when all they want to do is knock you down and drain you. For those of you where this isn’t someone who is easy to avoid – such as a father figure or even a partner; you have a need to establish boundaries based on self-worth. Don’t get drawn into an argument. The best way to stand your ground here is to exit; because they don’t get to treat you like that. If it is someone very close then I’m aware removing yourself may not be easy; but you’re worth so much more than this and they’re showing their true colours here. Take the steps necessary to protect yourself and your integrity.

Sagittarius:

Child of Pentacles / Ace of Pentacles / Ace of Cups

Something new beginning for you or someone around you this week, Sagittarius. It feels like a commitment too, but one that you will welcome, so long as you can overcome your own self-doubt and imposter syndrome. It feels like a new area of work or study; and it’s either you undertaking it, or a child you’re responsible for; or otherwise someone who looks up to you in a mentoring or teaching capacity or similar. But there’s this sense of it being within your or their grasp, and the only thing to do is accept it and jump right into it. It needs that child-like enthusiasm in any case; yes it involves heading into the unknown to an extent; but it also feels very fresh, very new, and very, very right for you. It is a commitment, and it’s something that will need to be nurtured and worked on over time. But the success this can lead to can also provide a great deal of healing and emotional growth too. If you didn’t have a care in the world and felt totally free to embrace this with all that you have to give, how would you approach this? That’s the attitude that you need to apply. There’s an opportunity to learn, to succeed, and to have fun doing it. What are you waiting for?

Capricorn:

Ten of Wands / Seven of Cups

I feel a window for possible romance for you this week, Capricorn. And possibly other opportunities coming up too. All at once, as the Sun completes its transit through your sign. And these are all things you want; in fact what’s more they’re all the very things you’ve been asking for, hoping for, praying for and working for but now suddenly they’re all arriving and you might feel just a little overwhelmed. And maybe a little torn – can you grab onto all of them? What would it mean for your carefully constructed life and routines if you did? It feels like there are decisions that are going to have to be made, but they may not have to be made just yet. It feels like a flash romance – not someone you’ve been dating for long, but rather someone coming out of the blue or announcing their interest very suddenly. And it may have long term prospects or it may be a brief fling but you’re not going to know unless you give them a chance and see what happens. And with the other opportunities coming up – again, it feels like you can tentatively accept. In both cases maybe without making a long-term commitment just yet; but being open that you want to try this out and see where it goes. There’s a danger in standing still in indecision for too long and a danger in over-committing or over-attaching to outcomes. So go slow, feel into the situations that attract you, and allow yourself to get a sense of where they can lead – you can still back out any time if you need to; just be clear on your intentions and needs.

Aquarius:

19 – The Sun / Two of Wands

I feel like something came to an end for you recently, Aquarius; like it came apart and you found yourself adrift and having to deal with having to adjust very suddenly. And this has shaken you – it’s left you feeling alone and unsupported and doubting yourself. It feels like this was something you invested a lot of yourself in; in most cases that’s a relationship, but then the warmth left it, your partner turned out to be someone different from who you thought they were; and this left you with a sense of being lost at sea. So if this knocked you sideways a bit, it’s no surprise. But it does need you to regroup and to get back up off your knees; and there are people around you who’ll support you to do so so long as you do your bit. What you’ve been learning from this more than anything is not to over-invest too much of yourself in one thing – it created a kind of dependence, and having experienced this once you should know to be a bit more measured in future. There’s a need to stand, walk, and get going again, and that means you need a new focus. Possibly a new routine too; this may even be time to construct a new you – older, wiser, more independent; but certainly with a much clearer vision of who you are and where you’re going. So tear up that old script and write a better one – there’s no shortage of space for you to expand into here; but do ask for help if you need to as well – this experience also shows you the value of community, so build one with who you can; those showing for you at this time deserve your trust and gratitude.

Pisces:

Four of Cups / Cup Amazon

You need to make sure you’re going out this week Pisces. Yes, these haven’t been easy times. Yes, you may be feeling a bit tired. Even down in the doldrums. But those are cobwebs that you need to be blasting away and a night out is called for. The chances are you’ll be getting invited somewhere; but just in case, don’t just wait for that invite – go seize the initiative and contact someone yourself. Because there’s a strong chance of you meeting someone this week; especially for those of you going out dancing or moving in some form; and this is someone who’s very keen on you. Or you could just wait it out at home. Hope they come to your door; but let’s be honest – all you’d be doing is dwelling on things and feeling unloved. There’s a time to rest and a time to contemplate; but there’s also staying in out of habit, convenience and sometimes fear. Hopefully you can tell which one this is. Don’t worry, if you’re not having a good time when you’re out then you don’t have to stay and everyone will understand. But give it a chance – this week may well surprise you in a very pleasant and flattering way.
