Be ready for major changes in your life. This will also bring many good things which won’t be evident initially. But this could take you to a new way of thinking and living which will be beneficial. The Death card is very prophetic in times like this and this also means that new beginnings are almost certain. The Queen of Pentacles assures you that your place is secure, and you will not lack anything except some sense of unease. Money is not a problem however much the world around you will say but this is most likely not to touch you. Neither will this affect an essentially happy home life, and this is a time to treasure. The Four of Wands show that there is family bonding and this time will not come back, so make the most of it. Also, remember that those who don’t have use for you (in the sense of adding value to your life) will drop away and you could wonder why so.

If you believe in miracles, then that’s what you will see in the coming months. The King of Pentacles indicates that there is a lot of financial support that is coming from the male energies of your life. Could be a partner, or business associate or just monies that are due to you from such sources. And if you wonder how in such dull economic times will this happen? Then this is the miracle that we are talking about. Faith and belief can change things for you. The Two of Swords is a further indication that once this happens how will you deal with it. Options of investing or spending? This could be your dilemma. It also suggests that you will oscillate between two clear ideas but ensure that these are run by family members who mean well for you. The ten of cups suggests a happy family time and a time when emotions are on the higher plane. There could be news on wedding announcements.

The Gemini woman is strong and in a good place at this point in time. There is clarity about how to go about things and about how she would like to be perceived. For the males, this is a time when they will be ruled by strong women in the family and in the workspace. This could mean two things- that the balance is good and everything is in the right place and this suits the circumstance very well; the other is that this could make the males feel that there is everything but yet something is missing. This unease will continue for a while. The Magician gives you this, while the Queen of Swords ensures that Gemini women are on top of things. The Sun, however, shows that children and the younger lot will be in a really good place and will continue to do things that will make you proud.

For most young Cancerians, the time is about planning, formulating and thinking about how to grow and grow the business if that is your key work. The Knight of Pentacles shows that you will be thinking of new directions and this time will provide great options and answers to questions in your mind. The Knight of Cups also brings this thought to the fore as you will put aside emotional attachments and turbulences to ensure that work will never again suffer from any outside influence. You will also be travelling the minute embargo is lifted but ensure that you weigh options before you do that. Travel only if essential. The Two of Pentacles gives an idea that you will have to weigh options about future directions, and this will include investments, need for travel and connecting to the world beyond your own home.

You are in a place where you will be unwilling to allow others to guess what you could be up to. This means ideas, projects and anything that you deem fit not to share with the world. You are not the kind of person to share your life on social media and for now, it is indeed good to keep a restraint on what you could be thinking or doing. The Four of Pentacles suggests that there are many things you are keeping close to your chest in terms of money definitely but also about how you are going to pan out the days to come. The Page of Pentacles indicates new ideas and directions through the youngsters in your life. If in business, then this could be the time to allow them to take charge and help run things. Their approach and ideas could lift things out of the ordinary.

For many Virgos there will be a longing to travel and look beyond the shores. However, that is not physically possible right now, but this does not mean that the process of getting things done in terms of expansion and other related processes cannot get done. There is travel indicated — but only when the embargo is lifted. Do ensure that you don’t behave like a tiger out of a cage- because this could be dangerous if it is non-essential. That is shown by the Two of Wands. The Nine of Pentacles shows that there is much preoccupation with money and money matters. And no matter how bleak you think things are money-wise you are in a good place. There are others who are really badly off. You are not there and that is confirmed by the ten of pentacles 

It would be good not to have unrealistic expectations about life. Believe in miracles no doubt, but if they are not within the scope of realistic ones then that would be a tough thing to deal with. That said, you can dream and visualise something amazing for yourself and be sure that they will happen, provided you have faith to understand that you will get what you ask for. The Seven of Cups shows that and the King of Wands comes when you could be missing strong male presence in your life. There are not many men you can look up to and that is what you miss when it comes to important decisions. The Eight of Pentacles could relate to the King of Wands and these inputs one is talking about, could be something you miss discussing with someone with experience.

There are two things you should avoid over-thinking and a desire to withdraw from life. Both are counterproductive to a future that will be that of a star or a visionary and right now it will not feel like that. The Star card comes to assure that good things are there but right now, don’t go down the path where you want to run away or withdraw or allow your mind to think of dark and depressing scenarios. The Moon card will try and play havoc with your mind and this is where you will tell yourself that the fears and anxiety it will try and feed you with are not real. Till things happen they are not real. So stay positive and don’t allow yourself to get involved with every scary thought that is being generated.

If there is a special someone in your life, then now is the time to pay attention to that. You have the time and the leisurely pace of life to do that. The Six of Cups shows that it is a good time to woo the person with time words and possibly surprise gifts to emphasise that you care. The High Priestess appears to show that you are on the right track when it comes to work and knowledge and if there is a slow down this is for the good of all. The Knight of Wands brings with him energy and substance to deal with the current circumstances and as you respond to these you will be helped by the knowledge and divine support to take the right steps to help things move forward in a positive manner.

Strength, patience and an ongoing thought process about future directions, should be the key things you should be concentrating now. The Strength card, in this case, seems to be literal; while The Hanged man and the Ace of Swords tell us that apart from having a patient outlook on life there needs to be some different way of thinking about your life. The Ace of Swords is linked to this because somehow the world has changed and with that, you will need to approach work and other important matters in your life differently and possibly in unique ways. The Hanged Man presents some complex situations right now – could be at home or work conditions and here is where you will need to think out of the box.

Being and feeling alone is not something you don’t know about. The Five of Cups show a propensity to undertake everything on your own disregarding the support and help others close to you can give you. No harm was done, because you are so capable that you can do this and more. The Five of Pentacles tells you that there is nothing to fear or worry about because even if you are feeling insecure and uneasy this is largely a mind play and not likely to happen come upon you. But if you do keep thinking in this fashion it could very well manifest as a reality. So don’t go down that path. Meanwhile, the Three of Pentacles suggests that you carry on with your plans for your future will all good intentions and they will see the light of day.

Preoccupation is with youngsters and their well-being. The Page of Swords says this is not necessary as they are doing fine despite the odds. The Chariot comes to show movement in the right direction and this can even mean a physical journey you will initiate for someone you know. Given the circumstances, it will a while before this can become an actuality. The Hermit brings to surface feelings of being alone and sometimes marginalised — you might even not admit it to yourself. This is something you deal with smiles and cheer so that people won’t think that you could even be feeling like this. The Hermit also comes to tell you that you are not alone — there is always the hand of The Divine which will always shadow you and keep you in good stead.
