You don’t need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need is your Sun sign! Here’s what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces, plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let’s go!
A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: PAGE OF WANDS
This whole week is one for exploration and experimentation—no pressure, no perfectionism, just curiosity and play. The Full Moon in Gemini encourages finding new horizons, and the clear-eyed Venus in Aquarius has us seeking pleasure in our thinking, rationalizing, and boundary-pushing. Open-mindedness plus intellect = whole new realms opening up for you.
The Page of Wands joins the party and asks us to consider how far we can go…be it about desire, opportunity, or feasibility. Do you know your limits? Why not experiment this week and see where they are, and whether you can go beyond them?
ARIES – QUEEN OF WANDS
The Queen of Wands is the queen of the fire element. It encourages you to step up, take control, and make something purposeful and exciting happen for yourself. Fire is transformative, alive, and powerful. You’re your own leader. You CAN manifest something new in your life this week, because you have that vitality and power within. This queen rules over travel, creativity, rituals, purpose, and education, so make a change in any of those realms.
TAURUS – SIX OF CUPS
All Taureans love to ruminate and reflect—often to seek new angles, pressure test old hypotheses, and extract fresh wisdom. This Full Moon sees you looking back over past romantic relationships and attractions, the people you felt genuine passion for, and maybe some people that you don’t. What changed? Why do you feel differently? Identify the shifts, the deal breakers, the personal growth, and the dynamics at play. There’s valuable new insight here.
GEMINI – FIVE OF SWORDS
Your Full Moon stirs up your inner twin, who’s always ready to play with you. But Gemini on Gemini can sometimes be sparky and WILL feel a little uncomfortable. This twin has some truths for you about recent events that you’ve not yet processed. Don’t suppress these musings…let them percolate and settle. You are excellent at seeing all sides and appreciating nuances. You just might have to change your mind (wouldn’t be the first time…)
CANCER – THE DEVIL
The Devil represents Capricorn, your opposite sign (Cancer’s the mother of the zodiac, and Capricorn the father). It embodies illicit affairs, bad habits, and bondages to irresistible forces that aren’t good for us. I bet all of this sounds rather appealing and exciting, right? Cancers love a secretive adventure in dangerous territory. Well, knock yourself out because The Devil has come calling. Make sure that you own the consequences of whatever it is you get up to! Deal?
LEO – NINE OF CUPS
If any sign can dream big and make their ideas a reality, it’s you. You’re a natural performer, persuader, and inspirer. The Nine of Cups gives you the green light to pursue and manifest one of your wildest dreams this week! The higher you aim, the better the outcome. The more you invest, the more you’ll achieve. All you need here is belief, confidence, and positive steps taken in your dream’s direction. The Universe will get the hint and bring you good luck and opportunities you’d never expect!
VIRGO – THE HERMIT
The Hermit is a card you could keep close by and meditate with to tap into your inner strengths. You’re a deep thinker, a researcher, and a problem solver. The Hermit is all about enlightenment, which will be the theme of the week ahead. Step back a little, seek solitude, and ponder/probe something that’s been a mystery to you. By the end of the week, you’ll have shed light on it, understand it, and know what to do next.
LIBRA – FIVE OF PENTACLES
Full Moons stir up our sensitivities, which is why they’re a good time to pause and reflect versus react. Remember this sentiment this week, Libra, because you might feel a little shaken. The Five of Pentacles asks you to talk about your feelings. Find like-minded people that you trust and discuss your emotions. You’re not alone, and other people will understand—maybe they’ll even offer shrewd advice. Don’t feel overwhelmed, just express and release these feelings. They will pass.
SCORPIO – THREE OF CUPS
You love feeling moved and challenged by rising emotions, so Full Moons energize you. Have a blast, Scorpio! The Three of Cups is a party card! Consider it permission to get your groove on and enjoy yourself. Live life large, throw yourself into festivities, seek romance, splurge, and indulge. We only get one life, sometimes you just gotta live big!
SAGITTARIUS – SEVEN OF CUPS
This Full Moon in Gemini will have you thinking deeply and broadly. The Seven of Cups represents creativity and imagination, so your musings will be playful and innovative. I feel like you could invent something new thing this week! You’re ready to brew a solution to something that’s always stumped you, or pitch a game-changing proposal. Think out of the box, Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN – SEVEN OF PENTACLES
Full Moons are for reflection, which you enjoy. You’re auditing recent trials, tribulations, successes, and challenges. The Seven of Pentacles suggests that the real outcome of your analysis will be a shift away from certain commitments that don’t deliver what you need. Don’t do anything rash or radical, just acknowledge you’re not going to invest more time in those areas indefinitely and start to pivot your focus elsewhere.
AQUARIUS – THE WORLD
The World is the tarot’s final card—and a powerful one. On one level, it can represent global travel, connections, and opportunity. That means this is a great week to make progress. It also represents endings—aka new beginnings. Full Moons are a great time for conclusions. Perhaps there is something you’re simply not in love with anymore, and you’re ready to start shifting your attention elsewhere. It’s a good week to begin that process.
PISCES – TWO OF PENTACLES
A happy week lies ahead for you Pisces. The cosmic forces at play are conspiring to open your heart up to new possibilities, people, and perspectives. Trust that the Universe is willing and able to deliver them to you! The Two of Pentacles is an abundance card. It’ll bring you new people to chat with, and unexpected opportunities to seize. In general, say YES. Welcome all of this new energy (you can decide what to do with it all later).
