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: 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: THE CHARIOT
November is a melancholy month, but this week, Jupiter moves into Leo to lift our spirits. Light your candles, send out party invites, and celebrate your successes. Abundance attracts more abundance, after all. The Chariot asks you to add some purpose to your pleasure. Use celebration to draw closer to people you want to bond with, embed yourself in networks you want to be a part of, and learn more about activities you want to do in the future. Purpose + pleasure = opportunity. It’s a winning formula.
ARIES: TWO OF CUPS
Focus on a one-on-one relationship in your life this week, Aries. That could be a friend, lover, sibling, parent, colleague, neighbor, or romantic partner. The Two of Cups heightens the intimacy and connection between you. You both bring equal amounts (but different kinds) of energy to this relationship. Celebrate your bond this week! Go out or stay in together, treat yourselves to something special you can share, or talk about your shared plans for the future. This bond is worth nurturing.
TAURUS: FOUR OF CUPS
You feel dissatisfied with the status quo. In fact, you’re in a “meh” mood, Taurus. Be careful that you don’t overlook the advantages and positives already in your life. Don’t chase after someone else’s gifts or goals. Water your own grass and it will look greener! The Four of Cups urges an “appreciation audit” of your life. Try to recognize all the good stuff you already have. Then, you’ll attract even more of it. Start with gratitude.
GEMINI: PAGE OF WANDS
Chaos creates opportunity. That’s always a good thing to remember when life gets unpredictable . This week, however, you are the agent of chaos. The Page of Wands sees you shaking things up, just to see what’s going on. It’s all an experiment! You don’t have a game plan, you’re just seeing what happens. Not many signs can get away with this kind of behavior… but you can! Have fun. Find the opportunity.
CANCER: THREE OF SWORDS
Your purpose this week is to identify, acknowledge, understand (to a degree), and then act on the hunches you have about shadiness going on in your world. It might be in a friendship, at work, with family members, or even your partner. Something is off. Your psychic senses and intuition are always spot-on and this is no different. Track your prey and tackle the issue. Then, don’t sweep it all back under the rug. Deal with it. An argument, honest conversation, or even separation might be in order. You decide. But don’t ignore this hunch any longer.
LEO: FIVE OF SWORDS
You are always ready to fight for what you believe in. However, your current argument is not really serving anything, it’s just a fight for the sake of it. Find a way to end it, or at least end your participation in it. This could be a social media feud you’ve gotten waaaaay too caught up in or resentment you’re feeling about a frenemy’s success. Stop. Withdraw. Nothing good will come from this.
VIRGO: THE HANGED MAN
You have a sharp, flexible, curious mind and you problem-solving. However, you can also get stuck in patterns, and one of them is holding you back right now. The Hanged Man shows that you’re facing a mental block. This is an obstacle that you haven’t managed to overcome because you keep bringing the same answer to it (and it’s not the right answer). You’re banging your head against a wall here! So… let go. Don’t try any harder. Just let your mind wander. Ask for advice. Get an outside perspective. The answer is something you’d never think of.
LIBRA: ACE OF CUPS
New creative projects, amazing collaborations, potential friends, and romantic flirtations are all on the table this week, Libra. Enjoy! The Ace of Cups brings a surge of passionate energy into your world, the kind of energy that moves you to new heights and ambitions. Prepare to feel uplifted, motivated, inspired, and intrigued. Get ready to welcome new ideas, new faces, and new projects. This is a week all about new beginnings.
SCORPIO: PAGE OF SWORDS
Usually you know exactly what you think about any given subject. Your opinions and judgments are clear, concise, and immovable. But that’s not the case this week, because the Page of Swords shows seeds of doubt and confusion. The situation is ambiguous and difficult to pin down. So, don’t try to. Let things be for now. Stand back and observe rather than trying to control things. Sooner or later, it will be obvious what to do next. But you need to wait.
SAGITTARIUS: PAGE OF PENTACLES
Your sign is known as a philosopher, an adventurer, and a deep thinker. You love exploring new ideas and theories, testing them out, debating the pros and cons, and wrestling with the controversies. Get your teeth into a new subject this week, Sagittarius. The Page of Pentacles is the tarot’s student, urging you to learn something new. It could be related to your career, but it could also be a topic you just want to know more about. Feed your mind. Who knows where it will take you!
CAPRICORN: NINE OF SWORDS
Nobody really understands how much a Capricorn can worry! You overthink everything going on around you… and then some. The Nine of Swords is an urgent nudge to offload some of this stuff, particularly your worst fears. I promise that much of what you fear is just the product of catastrophizing and overthinking. You have created scenarios that don’t exist IRL. The remedy? To say it ALL out loud to someone you trust. The very act of articulating these worries will remove their power. Let them go.
AQUARIUS: THE EMPEROR
You are a powerful and independent sign, Aquarius. You have lots of big ideas about life, the world, and everything. You want to make the world a better place. The Emperor sees you moving into a power position this week in order to further one of your agendas. You can see the game, you know the players, and your strategy has developed. It’s time to put it all into action. The Emperor brings you unstoppable energy this week, so wield it wisely.
PISCES: TWO OF PENTACLES
In traditional astrology, your ruling planet is Jupiter, which makes you naturally lucky. The Two of Pentacles emphasizes that this week by bringing you a surge of new and shiny opportunities. Say yes to everything because it’s all connected. Everything will come to fruition in its own time and in the right way. Don’t be afraid of being over-burdened or too busy; you can handle this. Enjoy all the goodies the universe is bringing you this week, Pisces.
