Kerry King reveals what the Universe has in store for you this week… according to Tarot
Our columnist Kerry King tells you what the week ahead has in store for you
EVERY Sunday, our resident Tarotscope reader Kerry King will be revealing what surprises, challenges and excitement awaits you in the week ahead.
Kerry has been practising tarot readings for the last 20 years, starting from reading for friends to amassing an international client list.
Using her strong intuition and deep knowledge and understanding of the horoscope, she is able to provide accurate and encouraging predictions for the coming days.
Here's her predictions for YOUR star sign...
Aries (Ten of Swords, Justice, King of Swords)
Justice promises that this is going to all be alright in the end, and I want you to remember that, OK?
So, if it’s NOT alright then it’s just NOT the end yet...
This will resolve in your favour, as long as you continue to play nice, play fair.
Karma is watching and taking down names, make sure you’re on the “good” list and things will be fine.
That said, you may need to cut your losses with something / one along the way.
The Ten of Swords takes no prisoners, it says that it’s not going to get any better here and it’s time to wave goodbye and ride off into the sunset.
The sooner you do, the sooner things will feel easier, better, more positive. And keep an eye on the long term, remember where you’re headed.
The King of Swords reminds us not to get TOO bogged down in the everyday bustle and noise, but to keep our head up and our gaze locked on the long-term prize. Act in a way that keeps you on that path.
Do all this, and you’ll win this week!
Taurus (Four of Wands, Strength, Six of Wands)
Mega cards, this week, Taurus! You have been working so hard, as shown by the Four of Wands, and the Universe wants you to keep rewarding yourself and reaping what you’ve sown.
What is all this hard work for, if not to improve your circumstances and lifestyle? Remember that.
The Strength card shows up to prove that all the trials and tribulations you’ve faced have actually made life feel easier right now.
You’ve experienced a lot and you KNOW you can handle it now.
You’re not as fazed by things as you once were, and you recognise (and like) both the progress you’ve made and the wisdom you’ve earned. It was hard-won.
The Six of Wands says “well done, Taurus! You’re exactly where you’re meant to be, it has all been for a reason, to bring you to this VERY spot”.
Something wonderful, magical and rewarding is coming. You deserve it, and you’re going to love it.
Be pleased with yourself and expect the best, the best things come to those who graft!
Gemini (Five of Coins, Knight of Swords, Page of Cups)
Sometimes the turn of the year brings a melancholiness - it’s dark, cold and we sometimes remember the people we lost last year and, dare I say it, wonder who we might lose during this coming one.
The Five of Coins has hovered over your thoughts recently, turning them to the darker side of life, and it’s time to stop yourself going any further.
The Knight of Swords is a “get tough” with yourself card, shake yourself loose of this low mood and these negative imaginings. Don’t give in to the blues.
Don’t let your mind wander to loss, grief and sadness… it’s all hypothetical anyway!
The Page of Cups wants you to actively, practically focus on the NOW.
Do a puzzle, ring a friend, write a poem, cook a pie, de-sludge the garden, listen to a guided meditation… do things which focus your attention on the present and feel useful or soothing or relaxing.
A week of this “therapy” and your sunny side will naturally resurface, because THAT is naturally who you are.
Cancer (Eight of Coins, The Sun, Eight of Wands)
The Sun and the Eight of Wands conspire to suggest the world is your oyster, Cancer, and you’d do well to broaden your horizons.
Perhaps plan an adventure, an expedition, a damned good holiday!
Perhaps look at a course or some kind of semi-educational thang you could do overseas (Yoga retreat? Working with sea creatures in the pacific? Building a school?).
I say “educational” because the Eight of Coins wants you to get something more out of travelling than a nice tan and some Duty Free!
There’s such benefit to seeing other places, cultures and people living their lives. Especially if we’re helping in some way, or looking to actively learn.
It puts our own struggles in perspective, and we sense the enormous amount of sheer OPPORTUNITY there is from living on this big ole’ planet.
You can go further than you think, you know. Let your imagination off the leash and wherever it takes you, know that it’s for a reason. Make it happen…
Leo (The Wheel of Fortune, Queen of Coins, Ace of Coins)
A trio of mega cards this week, Leo, so heads up and eyes front - opportunity knocks!
The Wheel of Fortune asks you to brace for change, heck, why not get ahead of it and push that wheel yourself.
What pivot point could trigger the greatest wave of change across your life? Pick your spot and make a move, the Universe will get the hint and pick up the momentum.
This time next week… everything will be and feel different!
The Ace and Queen of Coins hint this is about your material world - job, home, money, possessions. The things you have and the way you earn to pay for them, as well as your security and “nest”.
Something which starts right now has long term potential and will gather pace and significance over time.
Maybe it’s something as simple as a new ISA, maybe a loan to invest in something magical, maybe a new job or side line. Pick your lever, your pivot spot, and BE the “doer”, not the “done to”.
Anything is possible this week.
Virgo (Page of Wands, The Empress, Knight of Coins)
It’s one of those “nesting” weeks where you feel like hibernating with all of your faves and, you know what Virgo, why not!
The Knight of Coins is you being all about the home front, battening the hatches, closing the drawbridge and cosying up.
The Page of Wands suggests this is going to be fun - MAKE it fun, not just a week of lying around binge-watching real-life murder shows!
Schedule some de-cluttering, a batch meals cooking sesh to stock up your freezer, buy some new hot chocolate, pyjamas or slippers, a cosy throw, an absorbing book.
The Empress signals this time is going to be restorative and healing and that it’s kind of about getting back to nature.
Watch the moon. Fill your house with fresh flowers or ferns. Light candles, not lamps. Eat raw, fresh and homemade food all week long - NO takeaways.
Make a face mask. Have baths. Simple pleasures, family time, home and hearth.
THIS is the stuff of life, and you deserve to revel in it. Enjoy.
Libra (The Moon, The Devil, The Hermit)
All major arcana cards this week, Libra (the tarot’s “power cards” representing significant changes and messages from the Universe) so get ready for a big week ahead.
The Moon reveals that a secret or piece of hidden information, which you’ve felt anxious about even though you can’t pinpoint why, will be shared and its disquieting thrall over you will fade.
The Devil heralds the start of a new resolve on your part, maybe because of what you’ve found out, to not let secrets and lies sabotage or upset you again.
Without even trying, your mindset changes into a more positive, “in control” one, and you drop a whole load of outdated, limiting self-beliefs.
A weight is lifted and you feel so much better. After all this internal change and emotional upheaval you feel ready to take some time out and reflect on what’s happened.
The Hermit is the tarot’s “hibernation” card, and your feelings need a bit of time to catch up with all that has gone on.
Give yourself this space. It’s going to be a rejuvenating and powerful week.
Scorpio (Ace of Wands, Nine of Wands, Six of Cups)
There’s something you want to introduce into your life but you’re worrying it’s going to be more time/ effort/expense (than it actually will be).
The Ace of Wands hints this new endeavour is authentically “you” and would be inspiring and entertaining, so please don’t hold back.
The Six of Cups reveals it could be something from your past, maybe even childhood.
Perhaps rekindling an old friendship, hobby, holiday destination, talent or interest.
We often find ourselves drawn back towards what we had fun doing when we were young, when we pursued things naturally vs for money/to impress/for work/for “show”…
What were your favourite things? What might still play a role in your present, and future?
The Nine of Wands urges you to progress here. Whatever looks like an obstacle, TRUST that it isn’t really when you get into it.
The ditches are only glitches. Go make this happen.
Sagittarius (Nine of Swords, Queen of Cups, Six of Swords)
Deep down, where your privately held feelings reside, there is something nagging you to cut ties with someone/thing, but you’re resistant to doing this.
The Queen of Cups asks you to follow and stay with these emotions this week, go to their root cause, and identify what is triggering and driving this disquiet, because you CAN address it.
The Nine of Swords shows up when we have an opportunity to put a long-held anxiety about our future to bed finally, and why wouldn’t we.
Anxieties fester, they warp our happiness, and make us be led by fear vs hope.
Here, *SPOILER*, I suspect the answer will come in the shape of a departure of some kind.
Maybe loosening the ties of a relationship which isn’t working, or looking for a new role/job, maybe even changing your home or location.
The good news is that, when it finally comes, this departure won’t feel sad or negative, but healing and restorative. It’s time to look this one in the eye, at last.
Capricorn (Seven of Swords, The Hanged Man, Three of Wands)
There’s a way out of this “limbo” you’ve been dogged by recently, you know, and it comes in the guise of help from others.
The Hanged Man shows you’ve felt frustrated in an area of your life, like your graft and sacrifice have not paid off as expected. Well, this will soon change.
And the answer here is to spot and seize an opportunity to work with collaborate /get help from others. The Three of Wands shows you going further faster in a team than you could alone. So, look to your network for help (I know you think you can do everything by yourself, but you can’t, so there).
Now here’s the sneaky bit. The Seven of Swords asks you to be teeny, weeny bit “devious” here.
Maybe not revealing EXACTLY what your intentions, or drivers, for joining forces are.
Play the game, say what they want to hear, and you’ll get the assistance needed.
Make sure you don’t incur Karma’s wrath and follow through with what you committed to do… but just keep your reasons why to yourself.
Aquarius (The World, The Tower, Seven of Wands)
There’s a theme of rivalry and competition around you this week, as shown by the Seven of Wands.
Who is after what you have? Who covets your position?
Think about this as it’s likely it come to a head soon, and if you’re prepared then you get a head start on planning a suitable strategy to WIN.
The Tower hints there will be a short, but possibly quite dramatic, squall.
Face into it, because the only way out is THROUGH. And it won’t last long. The energy will flare and then fizzle, and if you’re prepared then you can act whilst everyone else is still wondering what the hell just happened.
The World shows this little piece of drama actually has the potential to set you on a very prosperous, fulfilling pathway.
Sometimes we need a jolt to change our course. Expect it, lean into it, and relish the results it generates.
This is in your favour, in the end.
Pisces (Temperance, Queen of Wands, Ten of Wands)
The Ten of Wands is the tarot’s “workaholic” card, painting a picture of a person overwhelmed and burdened by what they’ve taken on, over time.
And this would, probably, be you, Pisces! You do overburden yourself and need these regular “check ins” to declutter your plate, clear the decks, release some time and headspace.
Temperance reveals this process will be rebalancing and relaxing, soothing your nerves and bringing a renewed sense of harmony and balance to your life.
So, don’t delay, start identifying what can be ditched, delegated or delayed.
The Queen of Wands urges you to get to this quickly, don’t put it off, and don’t go “half measures”.
She lends you her bold, direct and action-orientated energy to make the necessary changes. A little bit of pruning will go a long way.
