Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
So, here we are in the second week of 2023.
We have just had a highly intuitive and creative Full Moon to stir our imagination and emotions, and this week Mars turns direct (after a lengthy retrograde) which gets all the juices flowing again.
It’s a good week for resolutions, big commitments, gut feeling changes, and bold decisions.
Be brave. Set the right tone for the year ahead.
Let the tarot guide you, this week, towards bold moves in the coming days.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Time to make the change you’ve been waiting for (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Six of Swords
Meaning: Leave. You know you want to, you’ve longed to, you’ve daydreamed about this departure for a very long time (at least six months) and now (February latest) is the right time to make this leap.
It’s not sad. You are ready for this change. Unlocking this departure will help you welcome in new energy and opportunity, it will get things moving again.
Seek to make it happen. Say goodbye and move on.

The High Priestess invites you to try tarot, scrying, meditation, mindful walking, arts, writing, music and dance. Express yourself in a creative way.

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Four of Swords
Meaning: Book some downtime, some vacation, some space in your schedule for deep rest and retreat.
The Four of Swords asks you to gift yourself with permission to keep taking breaks as you work your way through this year. Split the year into manageable chunks, with a nice break/treat/outing/holiday marking each milestone.
This will bring you renewed energy to tackle each chunk with real gusto, and break your goals down to feasible sizes and stages.

January 22 to February 19
Honesty is key when working out big issues (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Knight of Swords
Meaning: You need to bite the bullet and get it all off your chest this week. Specifically – say what it is you want, if not need, to happen.
Maybe it’s actually about action/s you are going to take and you don’t want them to be a big surprise to those who matter. State your case. Explain your decision. But be resolute.
This is not something you wish to be talked out of. You’re not asking for permission. Be assertive and forthright. Listen with compassion. Try to allay concerns. Accept some people might not be happy – that’s okay, they’ll come around when they see you succeeding. Activate your personal mission this week

February 20 to March 20
It’s the perfect time for a routine revamp (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Four of Coins
Meaning: Use this fresh energy to stir up your routines, rituals and schedule.
The Four of Coins hints you’ve gotten into a bit of a rut, or a restrictive routine, which actually makes life feel same-y and dull (even if it is efficient).
Sometimes you need spontaneity, adventure, difference, surprises. Sometimes you need to shake it up a bit and just see what happens, and this is definitely one of those weeks! Go make your everyday life feel like an adventure.
