Mercury in Scorpio and a Full Moon in Aries are going to provoke strong emotions this week.
You might feel fixated on something (or someone), a little obsessive and in a spiral. You might feel compelled by desires you didn’t know you felt so deeply about. It’s a week to harness and harvest your feelings, understand them better, talk about them… before you take any action.
Don’t fly off the handle, rush into something, or make a decision you cannot Unmake. This is a time to slow down, tune in, and consider the nature of your emotions, what they attach to, and what they’re compelling you to do, change, leave, create, or process.
Let’s use the tarot to see what secret desire or feeling will stir you up this week! My magical Witch’s New Year reading (with free shadow work journal) will help you tap into your cosmic gifts and future.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Seven of Cups
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is excitement – what’s new there, right?. The Seven of Cups makes you feel excited mostly about your own ideas, fantasies and daydreams. Dare I say the life you’re leading in your own imagination is better than in real life? So you often retreat to these daydreams and visions.
The trick now, Aries, is to use your own Full Moon (this one is in Aries) to turn this magical thinking into robust plans and strategies to manifest these dreams in your real life. Because you can. The next seven days will prove it.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Queen of Cups
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is contentment. The Queen of Cups makes you feel rested, satisfied, desirable, in control, emotionally stable, and generally pretty unmoved by all this restless cosmic energy.
Perhaps your role this week, then, is to be an emotionally intelligent source of comfort and reassurance for others? Let them lean on you. Advise them. Listen to them. Do these good turns now and they won’t be forgotten. And, in a weird way, some kind of big romance may come from this…

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Moon
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is suspicion. The Moon is a card of secrets, illusions, mystery. And your mind can go into overdrive when it encounters such energy, it is like a cat faced with a closed door, it will paw at that door until there is no door left.
So, Gemini, simmer down. Do your research, play detective, ask validating and probing questions… and then go do something else and await the answers and changing energy to bring you clarity. By the end of this week you will know what’s what, and you can go from there. It’s going to be illuminating.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Nine of Swords
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is anxiety. The Nine of Swords reveals that you’ve been harbouring secrets (shock horror) and keeping a private worry or dread all to yourself… and it has gotten darker and uglier inside your tortured mind.
Right, this week, draw closer to your confidant(s) and get this all off your chest. I promise that 99% of it is just vapour and overthinking, and the 1% remaining can be tackled with practical measures. You are too wonderful to live in this fog of worry and doubt. Speak up. Get reassurance. Pin down the issue. Tackle it. Job done.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Ace of Cups
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is desire. The Ace of Cups puts you in a ripe mood to fall in love, make a major romance commitment, attract a new BFF, start or grow your family, get a new pet, have the biggest creative project idea ever, manifest a new creative role.
Something new will come into your life simply on the strength of the desire vibration you’re putting out there, Leo, so attract away! Vibrate at your highest, most passionate level, because others would kill to have this power. Use it well.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Seven of Swords
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is envy. The Seven of Swords has you giving major side eye to someone or something. We all get overwhelmed by the green-eyed monster, it’s an unwelcome but irresistible presence sometimes.
Put your envy to work with analysis and reflection. What is it truly that you’re coveting? What does that suggest about a lack or perception of your own self or life? And what practically and positively can you do about this? Don’t live with this feeling. Use it to make a change. It’s fuel.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: The Star
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is hope. The Star is the pure, transparent, spiritual card of hope and optimism, of wish-making and dreams coming true for those brave enough to pursue them.
What it is that you hope for? What is your wish? Imagine a genie visiting your life, what would you ask? And what can you do to welcome this hope into your real life? Just one small proactive step could activate a major domino effect this week ahead. Be bold.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Justice
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is shame. The Justice card is making you reflect on a situation where wrong was done, unfair actions were played out, an unkind outcome unfortunately occurred. And maybe you didn’t control this, but you were present, and because you’ve grown and changed as a person, you now look back at that and think ‘I wish I’d have done things differently’.
Process this feeling this Full Moon. Understand why you acted as you did and what growth has unfolded to change that stance now. It’s positive growth, be proud of that. And if there’s anything practical you can do to redress the balance… then do it, and feel relieved of this emotion.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: The High Priestess
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is curiousity. The High Priestess brings psychic, intuitive, inward-facing insights to the surface that have lingered in your subconscious (or with spirit guides) for a long time. It has taken this long for them to be crafted into a sign, omen, message or idea you’ll understand and be able to run with right away.
So, meditate and walk under the light of this week’s Full Moon and ask for guidance. What arises will be fulfilling, activating, and powerful. What you decide to do next this week could change your life. This is the time to listen to your own psyche.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Ace of Coins
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is pride. The Ace of Coins sees you surveying the fruits of your labour and consistent efforts and feeling very proud of what you’ve achieved, built, and overcome. And rightly so.
Celebrate your successes, Capricorn, and reap the rewards of your investment. You played the long game and now you’re sitting pretty. Celebrate under the Full Moon and make your next wish! What are you going to have achieved by this time next year? It starts here.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Two of Swords
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is doubt. The Two of Swords means you have to make an important decision (maybe more than one) and, right now, you feel confused and befuddled by options.
Give yourself the week to research your choices, answer unanswered questions, talk about it all out loud (that clears so many cobwebs), and pressure test ideas. Make each day count, move one step closer, and by week end, make your decision. All you do is your best with the info you have. Take the pressure off, but put the onus on. Get this done.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Knight of Cups
Meaning: The strong emotion surging through you this week is anticipation. The Knight of Cups has you feeling like something good is coming down the pipes – and it is! This might be an amazing invitation, friendship, romance, reunion, idea, trip, or windfall.
You will literally feel swept off your feet by what unfolds and like you’re living in a movie. What a week to remember! So, get out there, smile like you’ve won the lottery, and welcome in whatever the Universe is bringing your way, because it’s going to be good!
