Let the tarot guide you to who/what you should be talking to and about this week ahead.

Below you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the next few days, with a card drawn and its meaning explained.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Three of Cups

Meaning: Plaster over the cracks with a roaring good time and some fun! I

know that sounds a frivolous approach to an issue but, sometimes, a good time is a better cure for a spat than another deep conversation.

Actions speak louder than words. The Three of Cups urges you to hook up with someone you’ve drifted from and go out and enjoy yourselves, all old wounds will heal and be forgotten.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Ten of Swords

Meaning: Hmm, my friend, the time for negotiation and discussion has passed and this situation now just calls for a dignified and swift exit.

The Ten of Swords pulls no punches; it’s time to leave, move on, put this all behind you. This relationship will not improve or recover. You need out of this toxicity.

Use your words this week to draw things to a close as tactfully as possible and then make a run for it!

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Queen of Cups

Meaning: Draw closer to your closest person and have some intimate and meaningful chats about life, progress, doubts, fears, regrets, and hopes. Go into it with them, listen more than you talk, be compassionate, be open to hearing anything.

The Queen of Cups shows your most important relationship needs some emotional attention, and even healing. Listening to each other will highlight exactly what need to change. Tune in, make time, prioritise them.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Hierophant

Meaning: Rebellion can often be a theme with The Hierophant.

Perhaps you have resisted or bucked up against a longstanding structure, norm, expectation or tradition in your world – possibly with family or community.

Stand your ground, my friend, because you’re entitled to your opinion, but let them have their beliefs too.

Can you live with that? Can they? Calm down and have quiet, caring conversation about it. Compromise is needed.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Four of Swords

Meaning: Leo, you need a time out from a relationship that has gotten draining and tiring recently.

All will still be as you left it if you withdraw for a week. Nothing will happen, don’t worry. But you need space and rest. A mental vacation!

The Four of Swords asks you to step back, ruminate, regain perspective. You can’t keep banging your head on this wall. Take a break and let emotions settle down. You can start anew next week!

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Five of Wands

Meaning: Instead of attacking each other, you need to attack the problem- together. So, find out what the root cause of your latest argument is and discuss it at that level.

The Five of Wands reminds us that conflict and argument can act as signals, showing us where change, adjustment or progress is needed. Focus on that.

Don’t keep bickering over this, going over old ground. Find the root cause and go at it.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Six of Swords

Meaning: They don’t want you to leave, that’s what this is all about. They’re worried you’re ready to move on, make a change, leave them behind.

The Six of Swords shows they are probably right, actually, and that is just one of life’s inevitable hardships.

Change happens. We all ebb and flow, nothing lasts forever. Tackle this delicately. Take time to reassure, but don’t lie.

Maybe they need to accept you are moving on, but it doesn’t mean you’ll never be back. Find a balance.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Page of Cups

Meaning: A younger person in your life (might be a child, family member, student or friend) needs reassurance and care right now, they need your truth, comfort and hope, delivered in the way you do so well (i.e. firmly but warmly).

The Page of Cups shows their emotions are all over the place, maybe they’ve been acting up. But it’s all a front. Fear is behind this recent spate of rebellion, and you recognize this truth.

Speak to them. Get them to open up. You can help them process what’s going on.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Judgment

Meaning: You are going to have a big conversation this week that ignites a wake-up call, an epiphany, a moment of clarity.

What you hear will spark an insight that helps you know yourself a little better, gives you a new perspective on your attitude or actions.

So, listen carefully to everyone this week.

Strike up some philosophical chats, ask for feedback, ask for advice and input. Other people have things worth hearing.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: The Empress

Meaning: Love is everything. Remember that.

Hold on to the bonds, the affection, the good memories, and the hope of better days to come. Don’t make these tensions any worse. In fact, release them and make the first move, offer an olive branch, be the bigger person.

The Empress reveals your relationship flaws can be fixed, will mend, and are worth fighting for.

Love is the salve that soothes the wounds inflicted. It’s time to heal. It starts with you being kind. It will trigger a new phase.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: The Emperor

Meaning: There is a schism or imbalance in an important power dynamic in your life – could be with a parent, boss, overbearing friend or even controlling partner.

Look for places you feel intimidated, small, powerless or tentative. Look at why. Figure out how this has reached this stage. Then call it out. Name names.

The Emperor asks you to take your power back, to regain control, to express your disquiet. This will activate a shake up and then a settling down again, hopefully in a better, fairer position.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Page of Swords

Meaning: What you need right now is a diplomatic sounding board, a person you can bounce all these random and conflicting thoughts and ideas off, to help you make sense of it all.

The Page of Swords pinpoints your inner conflict, you’re sussing out a head vs heart decision and you need to say stuff out loud, to test your thinking and find out what you truly want.

Find someone you respect and trust. Set up a private meeting. Talk to them openly. Tell them you’re thinking out loud. See how you feel by the end of it. Better, I suspect.
