Here's her predictions for YOUR star sign...
ARIES (King of Wands, Ace of Cups, The Lovers)
Okay, so if you like ‘em… tell ‘em! Aries, why are you being all coy and nervous? This isn’t like you at all!
The Ace of Cups and The Lovers show that you’ve got a new object of affection in your sights.
This person (if you’re already in a romantic relationship and happy thank you very much) might be a new and wonderful friend, or (if you’re single and looking to mingle) maybe a magical lover.
There’s chemistry here, a spark, and the potential for a deep and lasting connection.
Be brave, put your big girl / boy pants on, and go do what you do best: flirt and make friends!
You’re so warm and funny, an irresistible and infectious presence, that they’re sure to respond well.
Stop worrying about what might happen and just go break the ice. This could be the start of something beautiful.
TAURUS (Nine of Wands, Six of Coins, Five of Coins)
You are SO very close to success and reward, please don’t give up now.
The Nine of Wands is like a breakthrough kind of card, showing that your obstacles are all way smaller than you think, and that success is close by.
A final push, and you’re there, my friend!
The Five and Six of Coins show that generosity towards others, and turning a disappointment around are the keys here.
Something happened which set you back, and is probably what you’re ruminating over now.
Don’t dwell on the loss, but look at the progress you have made since then in recovering your mo jo and getting on with things.
The worst is over, so why keep on thinking about it? The way through is to distract yourself with kindness to others, random acts of generosity which put a smile on the faces of those you love and like.
In seeing how valuable you are, and how appreciated, you have a sudden change of heart over this disappointment.
You see it differently. And that is the turning point here.
GEMINI (The Moon, Temperance, The Fool)
A trio of major arcana cards this week, Gemmy, so something B-I-G is going down in your world right now. It’s linked to a new chapter, a fresh start, a clean slate.
The Fool shows this is something uniquely YOU, and others may disapprove. So what? They don’t have to live your life- you do.
The Moon and Temperance cards, however, conspire to ask you to just hang fire a little while longer.
Don’t go off all cocksure and full-on, because you don’t yet have the full picture here.
There is information yet to surface which could make a big difference to how you approach this situation.
Please just wait the week out, and see what unfolds, I think you’ll thank me for this advice.
You can and WILL make this new beginning a success, but you just need to do a little bit more research and pay attention to what you discover as the week unfolds…
CANCER (The Magician, The Emperor, Queen of Wands)
Hells bells, Cancer, you’re on FIRE this week! In a good way.
No one and nothing better get in your way, because you’re on a mission to make money and find success and be prosperous. Good for you!
The Magician and The Emperor are both cards representing self-employment, entrepreneurial skills, making money from a talent or strength, using your shrewdness and smarts to get ahead.
You want to be the boss. You’re tired of doing for others. It’s time, my friend, to think about how you can put your agenda front and centre.
The Queen of Wands shows this thirst for leadership and control is powerful and compelling.
You may need to take some risks here, make a few bold moves, lean in to new opportunities and go with the flow.
That’s all good, though, because you ARE ready for this adventure.
So, this week, set off on a new project / role / job opportunity / side line / entrepreneurial strategy. This is exactly where you’re meant to at!
LEO (Four of Swords, Ten of Swords, The Sun)
Get ready for a rollercoaster kind of week, Leo, because there are some downs, followed by some amazing ups (in that order, too, so you’ve saved the best for last!).
The Four of Swords shows that you’re weary of a situation and feeling like you’re ready to cut your losses and call time on it.
The Ten of Swords shows that is the RIGHT attitude and that this will all come to a head early on in the week. Let it.
Don’t resist the forces of change, even if it makes you wince. Endings are often dramatic, sometimes sad, but they always leave room for something new to enter your life.
The Sun is the tarot’s most positive card and is the way you end this week, so good things will sweep in fast!
Whatever you sacrificed or lost will be replaced by something (or someone…) 100 percent better.
Maybe you’ll do something lovely to treat yourself, maybe booking a big holiday, maybe investing in a new look or a big purchase. Walk this week down.
You’ll end it in a better place than you are in now.
VIRGO (Knight of Swords, The Hanged Man, Justice)
You feel a strong sense of internal conflict this week, Virgo, as shown by the opposite energies of the combative, aggressive Knight of Swords vs the still and passive Hanged Man.
You’re not sure whether to kick off, speak out and stand up… or sit back and watch whatever unfolds.
I can’t tell you what to do, but the tarot brings forth Justice as the advice here.
This card hints that whatever is riling you up will be resolved in your favour, and all will end well.
Does that help you decide how to handle it? Stirring up the mud may only prolong the misery and provoke more gnarly little issues to rear their heads.
Let sleeping dogs lie. Let karma take care of this. You get busy looking after your side of the street and have faith that this will all untangle itself in time.
There’s nothing positive to be done here. Move along and wait for it to blow over. It will, I promise.
LIBRA (The Empress, Seven of Cups, Nine of Coins)
One of The Real Housewives (love that franchise…) always says that a relationship is like a car: you’ve got to put gas in if you want it to go anywhere.
The tarot seems to be giving you that advice this week, Libra.
The Nine of Coins shows that the people in your life now are “keepers” and you need to make sure you’re investing in these relationships 100 percent.
The Seven of Cups asks you to put some thought and attention into what you can do to strengthen your bonds, deepen your connection, and make lasting, happy memories.
The Empress shows the love is there, that these people adore you, and that you can do no better thing than put your time and energy into making them smile.
It’s a win:win. You love to be loved, and you love to love. So… go show them some love! It’s going to feel great.
SCORPIO (Six of Swords, Queen of Cups, Ten of Coins)
Sometimes we have to make ever-so-slightly painful changes in the present, in order to secure our future security or prosperity, or even happiness.
Very little in this life is totally black or white, we live in the shades of grey, we are never 100 percent sure about anything most of the time! Like now.
The Six of Swords shows that you’re ready to let something go from your life, once and for all.
You’re worried about the consequences, but this card is a good omen. It’s the right time. Do it.
The Queen of Cups reveals the depth of emotion here, the amount of pressure you’ve put upon yourself over it all. Relax. Chill.
Trust that life has got you to this point for a good reason. The Ten of Coins shows that this is a decision which will pay back massively down the road.
A short-term loss for a longer-term gain. This is something that a “Future You” is willing you on to get done.
Make that change now, and you’re setting yourself on a new, and better, trajectory. This decision counts. Don’t avoid it. It’s time.
SAGITTARIUS (Four of Cups, Knight of Cups, King of Wands)
If you want things to be different then you’re going to have to take the lead on it this week, and do things differently, Sagittarius.
The Four of Cups shows that the dreaded “doldrums” have been lurking in your yard, and you simply can’t bear to feel bored or discontented. The mood needs changing. Fast.
Romance is one option. The Knight of Cups shows there are romantic escapades to be had (and enjoyed) this week, should you choose to make that happen.
So, ask the person you’ve been admiring out. Arrange a Date Night. Invest in a grand gesture. It will lead to good things.
Adventure is the other route back to your usual self. The King of Wands says that, should you take a risk this week, there is a quest full of fun and excitement you can embark upon.
Which is it to be? Romance or adventure? Decide, and set off. Don’t stay in this dull spot, make a move.
CAPRICORN (Queen of Cups, Six of Swords, The Lovers)
An emotional decision is hanging over your head (and heart) and it’s starting to weigh heavily upon you. Cap, this isn’t like you, because you’re normally so rational and decisive.
What is the root cause of your disquiet? The Queen of Cups and The Lovers reveal this turmoil of feelings runs deep, and is caused because you’re not sure HOW you truly feel about this person / activity / role / situation / place.
It has changed over time. Things have gone well, and then they have gone south… and then they have gone OK again.
You can’t get a handle on it, and you hate being so confused and ambiguous about things.
Okay, the Six of Swords reveals the answer here is to walk away, cut your ties, say adios, move on to something new and firmer / truer / more secure.
You ARE ready, even if you think you still have misgivings. This departure will feel good, actually, and rejuvenating.
You don’t realise how much energy you’ve invested (wasted?) in overthinking all of this. Let it go, and move on. It will be a relief, I promise.
AQUARIUS (Five of Swords, Ace of Cups, Knight of Coins)
There are some people we meet and like immediately. And then there are others…
The Ace of Cups and Five of Swords combine to reveal that someone you currently dislike is going to turn out to be a great ally / friend / lover (ooo) this week ahead.
So, pay attention to those in your landscape who get on your nerves or you squabble with endlessly.
Maybe this is at work, maybe in your wider social circle, maybe even online or via social media.
The Knight of Coins shows that the root cause of your incompatibility has been a thread of defensiveness that you both feel when you’re around each other.
We are all territorial creatures, even unconsciously. We all put up our guard if we feel someone might encroach on our “turf”, in whatever way we perceive that to be.
Lower your guard. Take a closer look. Examine your own behaviour and how it might come across.
You can turn an enemy into a friend and accomplice. And we can all get by a lot better with a little help from our friends, so this is worth the effort!
PISCES (Three of Cups, The Hermit, Ace of Wands)
This trio of cards has got “new hobby” written all over them!
The Ace of Wands shows you starting something new, something inspiring and rewarding, possibly something you enjoyed in childhood or have tried (and loved) before, but not had chance to activate in your life.
Well, NOW is that time.
The Hermit shows that it is a private and solo endeavour: knitting, writing, painting, learning to play an instrument, speaking a new language, designing video games, baking, upcycling, mechanical repairs, model building, vlogging, DIY… take your pick!
You probably need to do some studying, but you can start practicing pretty quickly so you get hands-on with this.
The Three of Cups promises it’s going to be great fun, extremely satisfying and a means of relaxing and recharging you, amidst a busy and demanding life.
Take this time for yourself. Invest in doing something which puts you in a precious “flow”. Get hobbying!
