A New Moon and Mars turning direct, after a retrograde, puts the spring back in our step this week.
It’s time to think about new beginnings that do us good and maybe help others too. Lean into humanitarian, charitable, healing, and wellbeing themes and activities.
What draws your eye or spirit? What do you think you’d benefit from trying or even maybe learning to do? What feel-good practice might make a difference to you, your family, or loved ones?
We all need to take care of our body, mind, and spirit, as well as each other. And that means being openminded to new ways, means, and methods that get the job done. Let the tarot guide you to what you could start doing this week…
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: King of Wands
Meaning: You want to do something physical, maybe competitive, like a real tough exercise class or challenge, or joining a team of some kind. Maybe this is something you do with family and/or friend. Maybe you’re team captain!
The King of Wands puts purpose into how you take care of your health and wellbeing, and asks you to have fun with it, get social with it, and create something team-like with it. You’re better when sparring and jostling with other folk, it ignites your ambitious nature.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Ace of Cups
Meaning: You are going to meet someone wonderful this week, and the relationship that unfolds from this meeting of mind, body and soul is a lifelong, loving one. This is either a friend, lover, or even maybe a pregnancy/birth/new pet or family member.
The arrival of this relationship reminds you how magical life is, how full of surprises, how just one change or new addition can make everything better. You love to be in love… and you will be!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Hanged Man
Meaning: There is something new you need to activate but you don’t yet know what it is. This is the week that the Universe will suggest it to you… and it won’t be what you expected!
So, surrender to fate this week. Don’t carry any preconceptions or expectations and just ride the waves, notice the signs, and see what the unseen forces are putting in your path. Notice, identify, react, implement. The new news will be unexpected, from a strange source, but you will just know it’s meant for you. It feels right.

This will make you and them feel good. All Leos are natural protectors and guardians, it’s a deeply cosmic role for you to play and brings the best out of you. Go make a positive difference to someone impressionable.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23

Make over your spring wardrobe, create new outfits, revamp a room in your house, invent a lovely home-cooked menu for a weekend get together, write a poem about life right now. Give your mind something creative to work on and you will feel immediately better.

What do you like doing, with whom, in what way? What do people love about you? What do close friends or your partner complain about? What do you think you bring to your friendship circle?The Eight of Swords promises this little audit will be revealing and positive. You adapt so often to others and spend so much energy ‘fitting in’ and being diplomatic… this week make it all about you.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Four of Wands
Meaning: You want to give something a makeover, an upgrade, a new look, a glow up! It might be a room for a family member, or a garden, or a neighbourhood space, or a workplace team challenge, or a community project.
You have great imagination and persistence, you can dream up ideas and put them in motion too. Use this power to help make something look better (and therefore be better used and enjoyed) by someone, or a group of people, in your wider circle, from family to community. You can stand back and say ‘I did that!’ and then enjoy how others enjoy it!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Five of Wands
Meaning: People listen to you because you’re warm, authentic, and truthful. You say it how it is, but usually with such humour and self deprecation that people forgive you! This talent is needed in your social or work or family circle this week to help mediate and resolve a bubbling friction or conflict. It has started to escalate and you can see it will only get worse.
You are the best placed person to help bring it to the boil, get to the root cause, get each side to listen to the other and find some shared ground or goal that each can focus on. Play this role. Feel amazing. Earn their gratitude.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Ten of Wands
Meaning: You need a break, deep rest, relaxation, and a mental detox. Whatever time or space you can carve out for this, in the week ahead, please do it. No excuses.
Why? The Ten of Wands promises that a burnout is on the horizon if you don’t regulate your energies and efforts. Less is more. You can’t pour from an empty jug. You need to replenish the fuel, vitality, and endeavour that you have been so busy spending! Your wellbeing demands a time out from your demanding life.

Fight the good fight, Aquarius, and put your voice and creativity into sharing news and facts about something you believe people need to know about. Whether it’s societal, ideological, political or local… make your voice heard, get the message out, speak to folk on an everyday basis (no judgment or lectures, they don’t work anyway).

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Five of Cups
Meaning: Pisces, of all of the zodiac signs, you are the natural, innate, and most powerful healer. You understand folk on every level – even better than they understand themselves sometimes – and you know just what to say, do, offer, or suggest to people in pain.
