Tarot - On the cards

Aries (20 MARCH – 20 APRIL)

With both cards showing the Air signs of the Swords, there are a lot of thoughts regarding relationships and things that you feel are holding you down. The Six of Swords indicates a comfortable yet stifling relationship with a significant other. Sometimes you don’t do anything about it because you don’t want to rock the boat until you are sure you have a plan B. Only you can break out of your limiting thoughts and create the best life for yourself.

Taurus (20 APRIL – 21 MAY)

There is the combination of the Water sign through the King of Cups along with the Earth sign - the Three of Pentacles, which indicates there is the presence of a strong male figure in your life who will mentor you. Or you could be meeting a strong leader who is far more in control of feelings. There could be the start of a new phase in your life, where plans are being made. This alludes to prosperity through real estate and financial abundance.

Gemini (21 MAY – 21 JUNE)

It looks like an excellent week ahead as you remain grounded and welcome the abundance coming your way. The Knight of Pentacles shows the youngsters in your circle finding good sources of income and venturing into new areas of work. Ace of Pentacles indicates success, recognition and the consolidation of positions of power and financial supremacy. Both the young and the experienced join hands to bring greater fortunes to family.

Cancer (21 JUNE – 23 JULY)

It is alright to be carefree and take risks, but there is also a need to look before you leap. Impulsive behaviour in money or travel can bring some grief. The Fool card shows that there is a tendency to take too many risks in the fondness for greater optimism. Don’t get carried away by misleading and somewhat impractical your thoughts. There is some stealth on your part when it comes to what your true intentions are.

Leo (23 JULY – 23 AUGUST)

Even as everything is going well - as good as circumstances permit and as the World card shows, there is always a tinge of emotional back and forth as the second card- the Queen of Cups - is showing. Almost all boxes are ticked as far as life is concerned and if things were down for a while, they are now on the upswing and on the right track. There are a lot of mood swings that take the joy out of all that life is offering you.

Virgo (23 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER)

You are tied in a relationship that most often feels like bondage but the line between that and a loving bond is very thin. Relationships sometimes feel stifling and suffocating and you are not in a position to break out of them. This can be a marriage, friendships or even a business collaboration. You’ve built a balance in financial earnings. Enjoy the abundance you have brought to your life through work and family connections.

Libra (23 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER)

There is a lot of overthinking going on and most of it alludes to feelings of being trapped in situations. You seek clarity about your life and plans for the future. The Ten of Swords indicates that you are feeling frustrated with the state of affairs and you feel pinned down by what you think are circumstances not going your way. But then you are clear about your dreams, know exactly what you want and are also working on getting them done.

Scorpio (23 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER)

The Five of Swords shows you are willing to strike down competition in the work area if needed and that is how it looks as you steam roll your ideas and work ethics out. Don’t bring hostility in your dealings with people. The Four of Cups shows you are so determined to do things in a particular way. So that you tend to overlook many opportunities being offered to you along the way. Don’t be so myopic.

Sagittarius (22 NOVEMBER –22 DECEMBER)

Tough women seem to be ruling your life right now. They have clarity and will power to overcome any obstacles. The Queen of Swords shows the presence of such a person in your life and they are ruling at the moment. The Moon card brings wavering thoughts and you fell edgy and moody. You could also be assailed with doubts on the work front. Remain steady in your actions and don’t worry about outcomes.

Capricorn (22 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY)

A lot of the conflicts you are facing is probably more in your head than in reality. That said, you could also be facing opposing ideas and opinions especially when you try to put your own views forward. If this continues you’re most likely to go at it aggressively to ensure things go your way. Things are harmonious at home. There is love and companionship with family and friends.

Aquarius (20 JANUARY –18 FEBRUARY)

You are constantly faced with choices and that makes it harder for you to find peace and closure on material aspects. This will apply to most things including which appliances to be bought and what to eat when you step out. However it is good there are choices. The Five of Cups brings a sense of loneliness and isolation – either from reality or from being alone. You don’t see the kind of support there is around you.

Pisces (18 FEBRUARY –20 MARCH)

The time is ripe for you to do everything you want to – everything seems aligned towards that. All you wish for is a manifestation away. The Knight of Cups brings cheer and optimism if there are new projects and plans on the anvil. And this will be with the support of those in the younger camp, either in family or at work. They will not only be emotionally well sorted, but also in control of what they can achieve.
