Here’s what the ancient Tarot cards have to say about your Sun sign for this week:
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Problems exist only as long as you keep giving them a lot of attention. Keep your focus on the now and act as if it were your first and last moment on this earth. Answers are available but the key to solving them will only come when you stop thinking about them. Sometimes they come on their own, and those make for the most happy surprises. You will be intent on finding answers, cutting through adversity and seeing things as they are. Expect to be busy either in meetings professionally or in a social event where you could encounter some interesting new viewpoints. Money matters require a little more attention to detail. Health matters remain manageable.
Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)
Stay detached, and you will see the truth in every situation. A time for you to be impartial, unprejudiced and non-judgemental, you will realise you have the strength and determination to carry on despite obstacles. Realise that you can create your own reality by taking responsibility for your thoughts and attitudes. Discussions with others may lead to friction or tension, but maintain your stand if you feel you are right. Even in your personal life, you will see through the deception of someone, but choose to detach yourself rather than confront them over it. A nagging ailment may need longer treatment. Money matters show growth but with patient planning.
Gemini (May21- June 20)
Narrow your choices, maintain your balance and the pressure will begin to ease. Realise you cannot be everything to everybody, and it is important to reserve some private time and space for your own needs. Expect a lot of developments on the social front in this phase. The focus is on meeting new people, books, studies, research and the resolution of results. Your greatest success will come through your ability to make a favourable impression on others, thus attracting gifts, favours, special considerations or even an advantage over others. Good luck favours you in finding answers and attracting favour. There may be discussions about a merger or a new business opportunity or a marriage in the family. Remember not to allow other people to drain you with their demands. If ailing, there are a lot of spiritual forces present that are speeding up the healing process so stay optimistic.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
A radical shift may take place in your professional life. Strive to stay calm in the face of unexpected changes and realise that a new way of doing things is about to emerge. Before creation, there is always destruction. Expect a sudden increase in bills and expenses, a sudden cancellation, but within all this lies a possibility of a new business opportunity coming your way. Security comes from close relationships. Surround yourself with people who support you unconditionally. Stay in touch with your professional network. Married Cancerians are advised to weigh all factors, and consider your spouse’s point of view before making any decisions that affect both of you. Health matters look good. Money matters are soon going to improve.
Leo (July 23- Aug 22)
Define your goals, set your priorities and keep your eyes firm on your goal. Clarify all your objectives in your undertakings, and bring focus and practicality in areas where they may have been lacking initially. The foundations for a new thought process are in the making, and it may take time, but it’s worth the planning and effort. At home, you may be moody. Friends or family may need your assistance and advice and somewhere your happiest moments arise when you serve others by way of support and practical advice. Financially, some new information concerning your work may change your perspective and cause you to look at things in a much brighter light. Blocked money begins to slowly open up and your feelings of security will deepen. Health matters bring a pleasant surprise.
Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)
You may be faced with a dilemma that will demand action or decision, and you will try and figure out the best way to proceed or make the right choice. There will be moments when you’ll feel trapped in a dead-end situation, but trust that what may appear as negative on the surface, may just be a blessing in disguise. Unexpected upheavals in the family may occur and at times you may feel like too many responsibilities are being heaped upon you. The card advises you to communicate your feelings and not shut down from loved ones. A productive phase in store for you with a lot of projects running simultaneously both at home and in the work front. Money continues to come from areas of skill, but there may be a possibility of someone not being able to return your money. Make sure to destress frequently for your mental health.
Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)
Thoughts of something or someone may dominate your mind to the exclusion of all else. Your perception may be clouded in moments of negative thinking and you might end up feeling like you’re caught in a never-ending cycle of disappointments. The card advises you to look at the whole picture. Slow down, plan carefully, take a second opinion. And remember this will also pass. Learn to say no to certain people who are draining you with their demands. You may even feel like you are the garbage dump of other people’s problems. A short break or even some therapeutic massage will help ease out the built-up stress. Money matters look up, but there may be a lot of paperwork ahead.
Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)
Personally and professionally, you’ve got it made. Secure, confident and prosperous, you extend your time, energy and resources to larger-than-life issues. The bond between you and your spouse is emotionally rich and maturing. You may feel like building on what you’ve achieved or taking some calculated risks. You may explore avenues for joint investments or new ways to invest your wealth. Money may come through dividends and legacies. Sometimes, it may also spell an unexpected, large expense amid prosperity. Watch out for sudden sprains and aches.
Saggittarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)
Ever so slowly, things are falling into place and according to plan. The focus is on getting ahead, learning from the past and letting go of what no longer serves your best interest. A time for analysis, careful planning and a little caution. Plan your next move, and reach decisive conclusions in your professional and personal undertakings, but watch out for a tendency to overdominate others. Due to a sudden increase in activity workwise, family and home might just take a back seat. The card advises you to stay constantly in touch with your feelings and realise how important it is to keep working on relationships to keep the love blossoming. Health matters look good.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)
Open your mind. Time to look at things from a renewed perspective rather than ‘this is how it’s always been.’ A period of changes begins, and you may slowly start to notice major changes in all aspects of your life. Work on your unwillingness to let go of old habits and patterns of thinking and embrace the new. New people at the workplace may challenge you with their way of working. Even in your personal life, you may have to contend with an opposing opinion. Or deal with a loved one who asserts their independence. Don’t hold anyone too tightly right now, give them space to be who they want to be. You’ll continue to make money, but there may be tension in the air. An inconvenience may necessitate a letter or a phone call, and an untimely bill may arrive. Health matters reveal trying out new forms of healing or even consulting with a new doctor.
Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)
There is a possibility of a new direction of work opening up for you which may excite you, but you need to do some soul-searching there. Success will come from exercising your integrity. New projects may be on the horizon. Negotiations go smoothly but make sure the facts are in writing before agreeing to anything. Expenses may feel burdensome and ever-increasing at times, but your finances will improve in the long run. Business problems will slowly be resolved one by one, and annoyances will gradually come to an end. Health-wise, it may mean a trip to the dentist. Family matters run smoothly. Watch out for overwork and overthinking. It may leave you feeling restless, anxious, exhausted, irritable and tired out by the demands of daily life. Expect bouts of crabbiness, followed by long gaps of silences.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
You’ll be making changes in the work front, restructuring and revising plans and processes, but delays and setbacks might frustrate you. Money might be slow in coming, and again, disputes are likely. Realise it’s a phase, and your worries will pass. Someone may take advantage of your good heart, or you may feel “used” by someone who only connects with you for favours. Emotionally, this is a good phase to reach out and connect with as many new people as you can, especially if you are single and searching. New friendships could open your mind and bring some fun and laughter. A short holiday brightens up your spirits. Just make sure to be mindful of what you eat and drink.
