Yikes, two retrogrades – Mercury and Jupiter.
However, I like to think of retrogrades as giving us all a little ‘time out’ from being busy, from activity, from doing and striving and activating.
Sit back. Reflect. Avoid tech, decisions, journeys, big commitments… just sit with your life as it is and think about it.
A major epiphany will come to you that has probably been brewing for weeks. I wonder what it will be… let’s ask the tarot cards!

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Page of Coins
Meaning: Education and learning are the answer to your problems. Not working harder, faster, longer… but learning a new trick, a new skill, or a different approach or process.
Pinpoint what’s so hard. Break down the process you’re going through. Seek alternative options of how you go about it. Look at how you learn this and research doing just that! Knowledge is power and can put you back on track.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Nine of Coins
Meaning: Just because it’s going to take longer than you think (and you can admit that now) doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. Whatever you’ve been working on in terms of self improvement around your health, wealth or home, is turning out to be a bigger or longer term job than you thought.
Let this truth land. Let this reality be the new normal. And then make a new plan and carry on. Every step you take brings progress and reward. Keep going.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Five of Swords
Meaning: Admit it, you don’t enjoy conflict and strife. You would rather cut folk off than have to fight with them. It always gets ugly, right? So, carry that truth with you now. And don’t get drawn into a feud, a rivalry, or a conflict between other folk.
You don’t need to be involved, even if it’s damned interesting. Stick to the edges, stay away from the fire, be boring! You will very very glad you did when it all kicks off and blows back down the road.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Judgement
Meaning: Like a mini New Year’s resolution review, you look back at 2025 and your progress through it (it’s been tough hasn’t it) and you see the changes, the growth, the flaws, the issues, the successes. You see yourself clearly too.
This mirror talk will enlighten you as to what you want to build on, work on, change, and prioritise. You need to know yourself well before you can judge your potential and figure out how you activate it. This is the homework of this week.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Page of Wands
Meaning: When in doubt, don’t stand still, keep moving. You don’t have all the answers right now or a strong plan of action, and it means you’re treading water, waiting and seeing. This puts you in a vulnerable position, at the mercy of others’ actions.
So, take steps, even if they’re in the wrong direction, they will count, they will get you moving and you can always course-correct as you go. See this week’s events and choices as experiments. Remove the pressure and keep going. No need to be right first time.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: King of Swords
Meaning: You can’t make a decision right now because you’re too up close and personal with the situation in question. It’s all heat, noise, and emotion. It clouds your thinking and perspective, throws you off kilter.
Fly upwards like an eagle and see the birds eye view, see the bigger picture, get the overall vantage point and where things are heading. And then you’ll see exactly what you ought to do, in order to head towards the best outcome. And that should drive your decision.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Knight of Coins
Meaning: There’s no short cut here, sigh, and you’ve just got to do the work. Hard work will pay off here because this relationship, role or task is worthwhile and will yield what you seek, but you’ve got to invest the effort and make the moves.
No one is going to do it for you and there aren’t any one-step jumps you can take to hop, skip to the Finish Line. Sorry. That said, the work will be rewarding in and of itself, so don’t hesitate to invest your all. The sooner you begin, the sooner you finish.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The High Priestess
Meaning: This is it! This is the moment that you really get to the bottom of the biggest mystery in your realm and crack the code, unlock the answer, and bring the clarity you’ve long wanted. And it doesn’t come from the outside, it bubbles up from within.
You already carry the truth, deep down, so you just need to seek solitude, go for long walks, listen to music, daydream and journal. This epiphany may feel like a psychic moment, maybe it is, and you will be stirred to take action as a result.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Queen of Swords
Meaning: You’re going to have to do it yourself. And that’s not the worst thing because you’re full of ideas, beans, and energy! Maybe this project will be better because you take sole ownership of it, maybe this was the destiny all along even though things didn’t start out this way.
Make yourself a robust plan and schedule because you need to be your own boss on this. Make yourself accountable and remember that you may do all the work but you’ll keep all the rewards too!

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Ace of Swords
Meaning: Your home truth is revealed in a sparky conversation you have where things are said that have not been said before! Maybe there’s an edge of tension or conflict here, maybe there’s a root cause to a long-running issue that is ready to emerge and be tackled.
Always be compassionate and calm. Don’t jump to conclusions. Ask questions to aid understanding. And then take a pause. You will clear the air and realise what’s really been going on all this time.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Ten of Wands
Meaning: You are closer to a burn out than you realised. And that means you need to step back, let things go, take a break, delegate, and delay deadlines. Give yourself wriggle room, space and time.
Prioritise deep rest and relaxation. Clear your head. Reduce the load. Streamline the stimulus you take into your mind. Be calm and comforted, be soothed and restored. Eat well, hydrate, daydream. You need to take this time out so you can return firing on all cylinders again.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Death
Meaning: Change and transformation have already begun, so you may as well lean into this energy. Don’t fight the tide, don’t resist the shifts happening right under your feet. New openings and opportunities are emerging all around you, so you can actually come through this in an even better position in the long run.
That comes from being alert and open minded to what’s unfolding, how you can serve it, and what that means for you personally. Go with the flow and reach new heights!
