A soul-searching Pluto retrograde and Venus still thrumming away in self confident Aries makes us feel like stepping into a bolder, more ambitious and adventurous version of our selfhood.
It’s time to be authentically who you truly are, and let that self lead the way, make the decisions, and create the niche that’s made for you alone in this lifetime.
Let the tarot cards guide you this week as to aspect of your true nature you’re going to reveal, embrace, and learn to use more.
My life-changing ‘Unleash Your Shadow Self’ journal is also now available as a digital download, so you can unlock all the parts and aspects of your true nature and be whole and authentic. Come do the shadow work!
Aries
March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Chariot
Meaning: You are a creature of great ambition and drive – being ruled by Mars, the planet of combat and passion. But there’s even more to be tapped into!
The Chariot shows you can unlock your true depths of ambition and go-getting power when you set yourself an inspiring goal or purpose this week. Do it! Create a target, something you want to achieve or overcome… and make it happen. You don’t really realise how motivated and forceful you are. Get the bit between your teeth, Aries!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: The Hierophant
Meaning: The Hierophant is your zodiac sign’s actual tarot card depicting the traditional, strong, structured, and conforming side of your nature. You believe in customs and history and tradition. You uphold conventions, you believe in the ‘glue’ that is necessary to bind families, neighbours, communities and societies together.
Join in to something you believe in and want to uphold – an institution, a faith, a campaign, a party or a project. Find your tribe and join them because this will unlock the powerful part of you that can build and uphold. You are strong.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Page of Cups
Meaning: You have the closest link to your inner child of any zodiac sign, you are only moments or heartbeats away from his or her emotions and desires. Tune in this week. The Page of Cups invites you to explore the playful and creative things you loved doing as a child. Reinvent them in an adult guise.
Go to old playground or schools or artistic outlets you loved visiting as a kid. Let all of those imaginative juices flow, remember your passion for Greek legends, dragons, witches, fairies, trolls… whatever it was! Look at pics, play old tunes. There is magic waiting to be unleashed in this recollection pastime. Go find it.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Knight of Cups
Meaning: You have a deeply romantic and passionate nature, and are the movie lover of the zodiac! Embrace this aspect of your true nature this week and live romantically with the charismatic Knight of Cups.
Write a love letter, wear your best underwear and make it worthwhile, tell them how you feel, ask the object of your affection out, organise a Date Night to remember, get a makeover, create a romantic secluded corner of your home or garden, read love poetry, watch your weepiest romance movie. Indulge this part of your nature and show the world – who knows who could be drawn in…

Leo
July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Death
Meaning: You are a transformative person because Fire is the element of change and transformation (it changes whatever it touches). Death is the tarot’s symbol card of transformation, of letting old selves and habits die away so that new energy, ideas, and activities can emerge.
And this is your homework this week… clearing the decks of what no longer serves or fulfils, letting there be an ‘empty space’ and then noticing things to replace and fill the void with. This is a week of great renewal, a phoenix from the ashes phase, a rebuild. Enjoy it. Carefully re-curate your life’s contents.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Two of Wands
Meaning: Allow yourself to be unsure, and doubt to be a valid emotion this week. You are a very controlled person and always seek certainty and surety… but sometimes that can lead to hasty or inauthentic decisions being made in the pursuit of clarity vs fulfilment or reward.
Let yourself off the hook this week, Virgo, and let that doubtful side of you emerge to ask probing, important questions. Then you can get back to action and start filling in the blanks, and it will be worthwhile because these questions are important (and you can answer them).

Libra
September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Six of Swords
Meaning: There’s a side of you that you rarely let out of the closet and it’s the ruthless, objective, analytical version who knows what has to be done (but doesn’t always want to do it because it might cause upset). The Six of Swords sees you unleashing that side of yourself this week because there is a job to be done.
You are ready to end something, quit, leave, move on, and let it fall into your past. You hate goodbyes, but this is necessary, and I promise it won’t be as sad or difficult as you fear. The time is right. Let your cool-headed, ruthless Libra deal with it. This is all for the best.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Ace of Coins
Meaning: Scorpios are ruled by Pluto, the planet of regeneration and renewal. Pluto is the ultimate phoenix rising from the ashes, and this is a huge part of your nature. You are fearless at ending what isn’t working for you and starting afresh, writing a new story, turning that page boldly and confidently.
Do it this week. The Ace of Coins invites you to start a fresh chapter, linked to work, home, money or health. A new and long-term path is waiting for you to make that first step onto it.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Knight of Swords
Meaning: You are the only zodiac character who carries a weapon (bow and arrow, the centaur or archer), so you know how to fight back… but you’re so adorable and funny that people don’t get to experience the warrior part of you very much. This is a week to fight, to assert your needs, to be demanding and push back. Hard.
The Knight of Swords brings your archer mentality out to play, you are ready to shoot your arrows straight to the heart of the issue – verbally, not literally. Unleash the ancient warrior energy that thrums through your zodiac sign and get whatever it is you want or need. Time to stand.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Nine of Cups
Meaning: Caps are always seen as practical, stoic and even hardheaded… but there is a much softer side to your nature: a lover and a dreamer, a humourous and gentle soul who yearns for a better life for all.
The Nine of Cups lets you be vulnerable this week and lets others in your circle see this part of you. Share your hopes and dreams, offer love and guidance, express your fears, tell jokes, make them laugh (Caps are so funny). Sometimes the way to make things happen is not through plans and schemes, but just authentic and honest sharing of ideas. That is what’s on the cards this week. Open up.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Six of Wands
Meaning: You are lucky! Very lucky! And this part of your personality is important, it opens doors and lets you roam free (which you also love doing). Lean into your luck this week, believe that you’re lucky, and take a few chances, play a bold hand, create an adventure.
The Six of Wands invites you to enjoy your proximity to good fortune and to use it to make your life soar! Help others, be grateful, share things, show appreciation… and take chances alongside this, and the sky’s the limit. You’re a pure, truthful character, a humanitarian, and maybe this is why Lady Fortune favours you so well. Enjoy the gift.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Ace of Wands
Meaning: Pisceans are the final sign of the zodiac and a mutable sign (adept with change, fluid and flexible). The Ace of Wands reinforces your courage to go with the flow and asks you to ride some new, incoming waves this week, without really worrying where they’re heading… just see where the tide takes you! It’s an adventure, and you like those!
Start a new hobby, friendship, activity, pastime, class, journey, lifestyle ritual or book. Change up the stimulus you rely on for entertainment. Find a new channel! Something new is brewing and it will suit you down to the ground.
