You will feel really energised and clear about your priorities. You will feel ready to play a bold hand and take a chance, and chances are that it will pay off handsomely.
Let the tarot guide you, this week, to your new news.

Time for a reinvention? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Eight of Swords
Meaning: You are ready to break free from an old version of yourself and create a new 2.0 you.
This is a real New Year turning of the page, the embryo of a new chapter. And it comes from a change within, a shift personally, a different outlook, that click moment in your head when you just see your own beliefs or behaviours as the barrier and you understand what you need to discard and how to replace those self-limiting thoughts.
It’s all clear and obvious, and this is incredibly liberating. Here’s to the New You.

You start to think this was maybe all for the best and this enables you to begin a solid rebuild.

You do you, Scorpio, and to hell with what others say. The Devil has got your back.

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: The Lovers
Meaning: Time to get clear, resolute and focused on what it is you want, because you can have it all right now, Aquarius, but you have to know what all means.
The Lovers sees you feeling indecisive, tempted, torn and conflicted about what really matters in 2023. So far, you’ve hedged your bets well. That won’t last. You need to focus and prioritise.
Use this week’s forward thinking energy to make those choices, and then execute them. Time to move into a future you’re designing vs drifting into.
