The week begins in a reflective Venus retrograde and ends in a relationship rebalancing New Moon in Libra.
Whatever arises or is revealed at the beginning of the week can be resolved, healed, and mended by the end.
Things fall apart so they can be put back together in a better configuration, rebuilt to last. You don’t know the flaws will pressure cracks them open.
So, don’t sit on your disquiet, or hide the truth, or pretend all is well when it isn’t. Speak up, express yourself, notice patterns and issues, pay attention to what doesn’t sit right.
You can’t change what you won’t acknowledge. Be clear-eyed and brave.
Here’s what the tarot is urging you to shed light on this week.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Ace of Coins
Meaning: Focus your attention on the slow but steady ‘lava flow’ things that underpin and move your life along without drama, radical leaps or high speeds… the quiet friendships, the daily routine, the favourite spot in the house, the savings project you’re hoping will add up to a big sum one day.
Something in those slow but steady flows is faltering, but if you catch it and nip it in the bud you can course-correct this week and make it even better. Notice something quietly slipping, lean in and look, find out why — then fix it. Not every wheel squeaks so loud!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Page of Coins
Meaning: A relationship with a child, junior team member or younger friend/sibling needs your focus this week. You are going through something which is making you learn something new about them, your dynamic, your environment, and maybe yourself too.
Maybe all relationships are never-ending learning curves because everything is always changing, and people are always responding to the world in new ways. You never get to fully figure anyone out! They will always change, so will you. Remember that and be patient. You’re just learning.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Knight of Wands
Meaning: You’ve lost your mojo a little recently, the turn of the season always tires you and energy runs down. Maybe you’ve been looking around for someone to blame? But Gemini, it’s up to you to take the first step on your own fun trail.
This is the most magical time of year, all of your favourite festivities lie ahead. Start planning a magical, marvellous adventure with folk you love and like — as individuals or one giant merry band of explorers! You are the lynchpin that pulls it all together, you bring the spark (you always have done). So, ignite a new journey into the unknown with your favourite people. What could be better? Mojo restored!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Three of Swords
Meaning: You hide pain like no other sign (except maybe Scorpio) and to what end? It means you can’t express or release it. It means you don’t receive help, empathy or support from those who’d freely give it. It means people don’t think you notice or feel things like they do.
This week, express your pain. Even if only to a trusted friend or family member. And take steps to remove the source of it from your life. Even if you feel bad doing this. Betrayal is rarely a ‘mistake’, there are many steps and doorways leading to an opportunity to backstab someone. It’s never a one-off or a moment of madness. Remember that.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Page of Wands
Meaning: Take a clean sheet of paper when it comes to your relationships this week, write a new story, act differently, don’t hold any grudges, give second chances, see what happens. Be experimental, exploratory, open-minded.
Let people show you who they are, when you give them that blank slate to do so. You might be surprised — in fact you’re bound to be! Much of our interaction experience is primed, led by our own expectations or foundations. Remove that and let things be as they are, led by them, not you. Pay attention.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Devil
Meaning: Resist all known patterns and bad habits when it comes to your relationships, Virgo, and strive to break the chains. Don’t let folk who usually crowd or drain you get anywhere near — put up a boundary.
Don’t overcompensate or do something for someone who could do it for themselves. Let them figure it out. Don’t apologise simply for being present, having questions, or needing help- be proud of yourself. Spot the ways you diminish yourself for the sake of others and, simply, stop.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: The Sun
Meaning: Your New Moon brings you an almost New Year-style opportunity, a clean slate, a time to make wishes and set new intentions. Be led by your very best hopes for your loved ones, Libra, because The Sun is a blessings card and favours you with luck, joy, and love!
Organise a holiday, throw a party or gathering, celebrate with friends out and about, do something wild and fun that feels like a teenage reunion. Be social, be confident, chase your favourite things, live spontaneously. This week is like a mini holiday for you.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Five of Coins
Meaning: The Venus Retrograde makes you remember things you thought you’d put away, an old grief or regret, a face from the past that gives you pause. A loss. And that’s okay. Grief never ends, it rolls with us, alongside us, all through life.
Let this wave roll over you, and then come up for air and share the feeling, name it, talk about what sparked it, make sense of this echo. Others have advice, guidance, and insight. You are not alone. Don’t isolate yourself in a sorrow, talk about it, and come through it stronger.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Knight of Coins
Meaning: Stay the course, persist, don’t walk away, switch off or check out on this person. Someone is tiring you, but this bond is worth the effort, so make yourself work on it, like it’s a valuable project, this week.
What’s wrong? What’s changed? What is it like from their POV? What are you missing? The truth is a sphere, it has many, many sides. Look at things from all angles. And then show them you want to work on it. Things can quickly, and amazingly, be restored.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Page of Swords
Meaning: Question things this week, Cap, put on your challenging hat and be the one to probe, validate, explore, and second guess what’s happening. Rarely are things as they seem at surface level. Everyone is an onion, with layers and layers.
Go on a journey of discovery with your inner circle this week, starting with someone who has been ‘off’ lately, and see what you can delve into and reveal. Not to shame or prove anything, but to see the root cause and if/how you can help. Because you’re a rock for other folk, you’re the strong one. They need you.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Death
Meaning: Your relationships have been through a renewal process this year; ebb and flow, endings and beginnings, light and shade. And it continues. This week will solidify for you an ending in a relationship you leant on for a long time, but now has faded, maybe even turned sour.
Let it go. Mourn the good times, be glad you now see the truth of things, forgive them and yourself, and release it being something you need to carry on picking at. You are moving into new territory with new faces to join you. You need to clear space first.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: The Lovers
Meaning: You are in some kind of three’s company, love triangle, maybe even throuple scenario right now, or are about to enter one, and you need to keep a clear head. Passion can be blinding. Lust is a real force. Don’t let these feelings cloud your better judgement.
I am not saying the temptation isn’t real and you should resist it (you may have the time of your life!), but you must consider the consequences first. Know the risks. Know the price you’ll pay and work out if you can. Then decide.
