Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Christmas week, a very weird time of the year, almost a limbo, normal rules and services are suspended and we lose track of time.
The Full Moon adds to the confusion and ‘anything goes’ vibes, although it is in the sign of Cancer, which makes us yearn to be cosy, safe, with family, in familiar surrounds. It’s a week of hibernation, deep rest, reflection, and staying secure.
Then, Venus moves into Sagittarius on December 29 which wakes us all up a bit. Flirtatious, fun party vibes are activated, we want to be ‘out out’ and entertained.
So, it’s a week of two different halves really. Which tarot card will help you get the most out of this limbo, strange, Twixmas phase?
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Why not say yes to those out-of-the-blue plans? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Three of Wands
Meaning: You gotta keep it loose and leave plenty of wriggle room to jump in on all of the weird, unexpected spontaneous, random stuff that’s going to crop up, out of nowhere.
Right now it looks like a slow week. Trust me, it won’t be. People are going to turn up and offer you all kinds of invitations and you will want to say yes. So don’t plan too much and take a spontaneous approach to the time ahead. Be random.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
The love you share this week will be returned (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Three of Coins
Meaning: The vibe of this week for you Taurus is ‘mutual appreciation’. Hang out with all of the people you love and like most and let them give you their love and admiration too. Give and receive. Celebrate. Toast each other. Tell them why you respect and like them, tell them why they matter to you, tell them why they’re special in your life. Compliments are free so hand them out like candy!
The Three of Coins wants you surrounded by good people who have your best interests at heart. Be merry and have fun.

Gemini

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Lovers
Meaning: The Lovers represents the sign of Gemini so this is a week to be yourself. Go all out and do all of the weird, freaky, offbeat, clever, curious and Gemini-esque things that you don’t normally get time, space or allowance to do! Be full Gemini, 100% twin vibe, airy and mutable.
There might be romance ahead too, a kind of strange little flirtation that maybe you shouldn’t encourage, but then again why not? Life’s short, right? Make it complicated if it’s what you truly want.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
The Death card is all about transformation (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Death
Meaning: This is a week to undertake some kind of makeover, decluttering, transformation or glow up – be it in the home, personal appearance, emotional or practical. Turn the page, start afresh, get rid of the old and welcome in the new, get that NY resolution on the boil early doors!
Death is all about releasing the old so the new can emerge. A reinvention or rejuvenation, a phoenix from the flames moment. That will come around for you this week, embrace it and enjoy it. We all get to reinvent ourselves sometimes, and this is your slot!

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Seek self-awareness this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Eight of Swords
Meaning: This card is a little warning about projecting stuff onto others that is actually a flaw, dislike, or problem within yourself. We all do this. It’s usually unconscious, but you will actually sense and identify yourself doing it live this week.
Christmas intensifies our interactions with other people so it’s likely someone has rubbed you up the wrong way… take a moment to think about how you also might sometimes act like them. I know it’s not easy but this insight will flip a switch and change a trait in yourself that you’d like to transform. Do it!

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Give your year an audit (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Nine of Coins
Meaning: Time to take a metaphorical step back out of your everyday life and look at the trajectory of it. What happened in 2023? What changed? What has opened up in a new way or presented fresh options? Where are you heading? Where do you want to get to in 2024?
Simmer on these questions and make some loose ideas for what you might like to tackle or create or overcome in the year ahead. Now is the time for you to mull on this and get your ducks in a row. Bliss, actually, because you love planning!

Libra
September 24 to October 23
What do you want to leave in 2023? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Seven of Coins
Meaning: Full permission from the Seven of Coins to draw to a close anything you don’t wish to take ahead into 2024 this week. Cut them off, quit, withdraw, say no, end it, release it, resign.
Everything runs it course, everything has an end point. With this little bit of time and space and limbo, think about what you don’t wish to keep on doing or being involved with. It’s okay to get out of it. You are not in a prison, you are free to make choices, to make new choices and to change your mind.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Let your inner child loose (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Page of Wands
Meaning: Have a week of total chaos! Why not? Throw order and routine out of the window and do it all in a weird and wonderful way. Sleep all day, party all night. Eat breakfast for supper. Camp in the garage. Put more decorations up. Say yes to everything for one whole day. Draw family portraits. Wear a costume. Talk in rhyme. Be wacky and silly and childlike.
The Page of Wands is a crazy vibe, sometimes we just have to let loose and run wild. This kind of change is as good as a rest and might even provoke some great ideas for your year ahead.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
A fresh start is needed here (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: The Fool
Meaning: There is definitely magic with this card, it’s the first of the whole deck and a patron saint of new beginnings and clean slates. The Fool invites you to turn a new leaf, start something totally authentically you which is inspiring and exciting, and to utterly ignore any Debbie Downer or Nelly Negative comments.
You are the only person who has to live your life and you should do it on your terms. Start afresh, be inspired, be led by hope and enthusiasm. New Year, new you, new vibe.

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: The World
Meaning: The World is a powerful tarot card, the final card of the deck and also representing Saturn (your planet) as well as endings (which is kind of what this whole week is… the finale of 2023). Let closure be your mantra. Let things go, fade, release, and die. Say goodbye to old news. Cleanse, heal, release, unwind.
2023 is going to be a year of achievement for you and you need to clear the decks, unload the burdens, release the stagnant energy first. Get out and about, walk in nature, visit someplace beautiful, be outside – this is where you do your best reflection.

Meaning: Get your head in a book, download a new non-fiction podcast, catch up on documentaries, take an online class, attend a museum or gallery. Be a culture vulture!
The Page of Coins invites you to have a week of mental and intellectual stimulation and enterprise. Open doors in your mind. Take a fresh look at old topics through a new lens. See stuff that’s new to you. Research and learn. Be educated and inspired. This is your ideal kind of week!
