Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Although we remain in a Mercury retrograde (remember to double check details and have a plan B ready for anything related to tech, travel, commerce or communication), we also enjoy the start of wholesome, hardworking, ambitious Capricorn season.

Even in the heart of the Christmas run-up, there’s work to be done, tasks to be completed, errands to check off.

We all work hard, we all try, we all have responsibilities and commitments (even to ‘make’ the fun happen) – it’s a part of ‘adultin’.

So, let the tarot guide you towards the area, chore or task that really needs your 100% attention for completion this week… once it’s done and dusted, you can then rest, relax and enjoy the holiday season.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

It’s time to prioritise (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Two of Wands

Meaning: You can do it all as long as you know what your top two ‘must do’ chores/tasks are and you stick to doing them. Focus is the key to a successful week, Aries.

The Two of Wands asks you to stick to the game plan. No distractions and left field wanderings. You are prone to getting bored. Make sure you have set time to complete the hard work, that you get on with it, and then you go satisfy your boredom itches elsewhere in a different way other than putting down your tasks! Focus is key.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

This week may be an exercise in plate-spinning (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: King of Coins

Meaning: You are in charge of a lot of stuff this Christmas, the King of Coins sees you playing an alpha role in many of the festivities and organisation. You kind of like this as Taureans love control and being in charge, so they can do things as perfectly as they like and at their own pace.

Take it steady, break the chores down into smaller pieces and do little and often. Set in rewards and breaks. Make this as fun as you humanly can. The reward will come with others gratitude and joy as what you’ve created.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Seven of Cups

Meaning: Gemini, you are needed for your mind and imagination. You are the hero when it comes to having bright ideas, figuring out what to do, organising social jaunts, making something out of nothing, bringing adventure and fantasy to the humdrum.

The Seven of Cups asks you to make this week as magical and whimsical as only you can! Go all out. Believe in everything and be infectious in your fun-seeking and joyful mood. Surprise people, inject magic to the everyday, make things feel special, invent new rituals and outings. Be the festive elf we all need right now.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Page of Wands

Meaning: The only danger to your week going off course is if you try to bite off more than you can chew and start too many activities or tasks or commitments. The Page of Wands can be a slightly chaotic character, eager to be involved in everything but not having the time, resources or energy to back his fervour up and deliver.

Don’t be him. Don’t let your eyes be bigger than your stomach, as my mum would say. Be realistic about the time you have available, the energy you’ve got going on, and the resources you have to spare. Do the most you can but within a feasible limit. Enjoyment comes partially from feeling relaxed as you go about your day. Don’t make this week stressful. Trim the load and be chilled out about your schedule.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Spread the love, Leo (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Two of Cups

Meaning: The priority for you this week is your closest relationship – be that family, friend or love. The Two of Cups is about joining forces, being a healthy, happy duo, and helping each other have the best time ever, selflessly and joyfully. Isn’t that what we all wish for? Well, Leo, it’s in your realm so enjoy it and serve it and amplify it.

If your love life or closest bond is secure and thriving, then everything feels happier and brighter. Be romantic, be generous, be loving, be loyal, be positive. What you put in… you will receive back.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Forget the negative and let the merriment in (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Five of Coins

Meaning: Virgo, don’t dwell on the losses, regrets, setbacks, or mistakes from 2023. As the year nears a close, you tend to reflect and ruminate (which is good) but your Virgo critic tends to lead you towards the negative stuff (which is bad).

The Five of Coins says all you need to do right now until year end is be happy, celebratory, positive, and focused on having fun, being kind, loving those you love, and appreciating all you have. The mistakes are done, dusted, and trodden into the past. Let them be. Focus on what lies ahead.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Libra, you’ll feel better after talking about it (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Nine of Swords

Meaning: Whatever is really worrying you, Libra, please don’t be alone with it this week. Christmas can stir up painful memories, wishes, jealousies, regrets, doubts, fears for future Christmases etc We all have our own set of personal Christmas past, present and future ghosts… talk to them, share them, express what they tell you.

The Nine of Swords wants you to unburden these secret woes so you can get on and love your festivities, feeling liberated of fear. We all go through it. We can all empathise. Let this stuff out.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

There’s nothing wrong with blowing your own trumpet once in a while (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Three of Coins

Meaning: Scorpio, come out of your shell and show off this week! I know how private (secretive even) you are, but others need to know what you’ve been doing, achieving, and celebrating.

The Three of Coins is an admiration card. You deserve some! Share the success and don’t be surprised if it triggers a kind or generous offer or opportunity. Others have influence. Others have the ability to change your trajectory, they just need to see what you’re capable of, and want. Be open and expressive!

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Play to your strengths this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Six of Wands

Meaning: A magic week lies ahead, Sagittarius, as usual your famous good luck will play a part and everything you touch will turn to gold! I hope I haven’t over-egged that, but the Six of Wands is a hugely positive and joyful card promising success and achievement, as long as you play to your strengths and build on your successes.

Do what you’re good at. Prioritise the stuff you like doing. Showcase your favourite projects, tasks, or abilities. Good things are coming and they spring from the good things you’ve already done.

Capricorn

You’ve worked hard all year, now it’s time to reward yourself with some fun (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Two of Coins

Meaning: Now this is when your hard work and steadfast commitment pays off, Cap. All the chores are already done, you’re up to date (if not ahead of the game), and ready to take on everything this magical time of year has to offer. Go for it!

The Two of Coins promises that you can have it all. Go where you like, with whom you want, when you want to. Say yes. Let FOMO lead you! Be abundant, lucky, open-hearted, and busy. The more you do this week, the more you will find that you can do. It’s a magical time and you deserve to partake in everything on offer. Have a blast!

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

This is just minor setback (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: The Hanged Man

Meaning: Whatever is hanging around you right now, that doesn’t seem to be moving or progressing like it should… take a second (if not third and fourth) opinion on it, and change your approach.

The Hanged Man asks for a new perspective and lens on the situation, for a change of heart and mind, for a fresh look at it. The answer is simpler than you think, but it’s new, it’s different to what you’ve already tried. You are super smart and open-minded. You are ready to innovate. Make it happen and get past this.

Meaning: Pisces just want to have fun, right? Of course you do. The Three of Cups is total 100% permission to do so, seek the parties, the revelries, the celebrations, the people having fun, the good times.

You are loved, liked, admired, and respected. People always want you to be involved in their good times, so go ahead and be present. This is your reward for being such a fabulous and kind person all year long! Go collect your appreciation and go enjoy being around people who genuinely love you.
