Venus moves into Capricorn this week, igniting a phase of emotional stability and practical measures to improve relationships, as well as a Full Moon in Leo which unleashes your inner child to be artistic, imaginative, and playful.
As such, there’s a bit of childhood theme to this week – seeking stability and comfort, and wanting to play and reminisce and live in a whimsical fantasy.
Remember who you used to be. Remember what comforted, pleased, inspired, excited, soothed, and settled you. What can you reinvent? What can you reintroduce in an adult guise?
Let the tarot guide you towards the childhood mood or activity you can recreate in the week ahead for maximum satisfaction…
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Why not pick up where you left off? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Six of Wands
Meaning: Go back to what you were great at, praised for, found easy and effortless. What skill, pastime, hobby, talent, sport, endeavour or topic captured your imagination and you could spend hours at a time doing? Bring it back.
The Six of Wands is a victory and success card indicating that you can reinvent something from before now and achieve real recognition with it. Go back and rediscover your talent. Sometimes we come to see the seeds of our success were planted long, long ago.

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: The Lovers
Meaning: Is there a friend or connection in your childhood that you perhaps fell out with or had a disagreement with? Someone you still miss and have wondered what became of them?
The Lovers invites you to find out their fate this week. Try to discover their current status, see what you can glean. Even better, maybe reach out and say hi. Even if it’s just to close the door with a final click… there’s something here you want to know and will rest easier when you do!

Gemini
May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: King of Wands
Meaning: You have always had a strong sense of adventure. What games, fantasies, quests did you go on or yearn to go on when you were younger?
I am a Gemini – I played fighting fantasy books, half-lived in an imaginary realm of witches and ghouls, saw pirates on beach holidays, believed in fairies lived in our garden, wanted to sail the seas and cross over to hidden make-believe lands. I still embrace all of this, in pictures and films and books and daydreams and even my clothes!
How can you remember your childhood adventures and still live them now?

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
You’re never too old for fun (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Devil
Meaning: You know, a big part of being a kid was being told ‘no’. Stuff you can’t have, do, see, visit, enjoy, eat, drink, play with. And then, as an adult, you can do it all (should you still want to).
The Devil hints there are childhood desires that you were denied that you can satisfy easily this week and somehow it will be fulfilling and rewarding. Buy that Fisher Price camper van! Watch the horror movie! Drink the fizzy drink! Go to the roller rink! What you were denied, let your inner child have it. Let them run riot in fact… this could be a lot of fun!

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Some people leave a lasting mark in your memory (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Ace of Cups
Meaning: The Ace of Cups is about new or rekindled relationships which can be loving, loyal and joyful. Look back at lost loves, family or friends that played a major role in your youth and consider a reunion, an olive branch extended, a catch up, a friendly wave.
Something valuable has been lost which can still be revitalised and brought into your present realm. And it will be worth it. Reach out, see who grabs your hand…

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tap into the emotions and memories that may be lurking in your subconscious (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The High Priestess
Meaning: I know it’s a stretch but this card, in this context of childhood rekindling, makes me think of going on a past life regression – if you dare! You can listen to meditations for free on streaming channels and who knows where one might take you! If that sounds too ‘out there’, Virgo, then perhaps a mental stroll down Memory Lane is needed.
The High Priestess is psychic, intuitive, internal, personal. She indicates you have memories that are ready to come forth and bring insight and ideas. Tune into your past mentally and emotionally this week.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Libra for this week: The Hanged Man
Meaning: Think about a situation you’re facing this week where you feel stuck, thwarted, frustrated or powerless. And then think about what a ‘childhood you’ would’ve done or thought was a good idea!
The Hanged Man asks you to change your current lens or perspective, go back to your rawer, younger, more naïve self and ask what the approach would be? You might be very surprised at how you answer yourself, and it might unlock the real answer and resolution. Give it a try.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Engage in a little whimsy this week, Scorpio (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Seven of Cups
Meaning: Playtime! The Seven of Cups is an invitation to enter a fantasy realm and simply play, be whimsical or romantic, make up stories and narratives that fit over the top of dreary real life and make it fantastical, enchanted, hyper-real!
You might think ‘What’s the point?’ I say ‘Why not? What’s to lose?’ This is an exercise in creativity, imagination, and controlling your reaction to your everyday life. If you can control that, you’re halfway to sustained and positive mental health!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Don’t forget, your childhood shapes who you are today (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Seven of Swords
Meaning: A strange request: think back to the little feuds, scraps, tussles, and friendship tangles you had when you were little. Remember those emotions and events. See the growth and change of you from then to now, but also see the authentic roots of who you are and what triggers you or turns you on/off to other people.
The Seven of Swords reveals this info will be useful in guiding your actions in the here and now in a tricky relationship. Go back to gain insight and self awareness, and use it now.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
A person your admire can help you reach your goals (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: The Hierophant
Meaning: As a child I suspect you always wanted to impress your elders/teachers and come ‘top of the class’ in whatever subject/s or areas you were interested in. You are competitive.
Having a respected mentor, teacher, or leader is important to you, as a guide and example, and The Hierophant suggests you would benefit from identifying one now, and working with them on your personal development, career plans, or whatever it is in focus.
This might be an actual person in your realm, or someone you book an appointment with, or even a famous role model who perhaps has a podcast or book sharing their wisdom. Seek your new elder and learn.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
You can still be who you wanted to be back then (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Nine of Cups
Meaning: Dream a big dream! Go back to your childhood, extract the goal you held for your adult self (the ‘when I grow up’ plan) and dust it off. What can you make of it now?
The Nine of Cups hints there is opportunity this week to do more with it. It might be exactly what you once dreamed about but there is certainly a strong and identifiable thread back to that place, that ideal, that daydream. You are getting a second chance this week, don’t lose it, jump in and act.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
What would the younger you think about your life now? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Eight of Cups
Meaning: An interesting exercise this week in applying the standards or ideals of a ‘childhood you’ across the activities, tasks, roles and goals you’ve got in play at the moment. What would s/he have thought of it all?
The Eight of Cups reveals there is something that you might drastically reconsider as a result of this exercise, for the best and the right reasons. Something is unfolding which you could do with releasing, and ‘childhood you’ will guide you straight to it. Be free.
