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

A Full Moon in Capricorn and a Neptune Retrograde both bring ‘reality bites’ moments to the week ahead.

Not in a bad way. We all need to face our truths, see things as they genuinely are, have a clear-eyed understanding of our position. How else can you truly make good decisions and progress?

So, use this week to ground yourself, get the facts, answer unanswered questions, and generally know what’s what!

Let the tarot guide you towards an area of focus.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Plan ahead and get clear on your standing (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Seven of Wands

Meaning: Know your true strengths as a competitor in whatever race, rivalry, process, or event you’re currently participating in. Get truthful feedback, look at the data, be honest about your strengths and weaknesses and assess your true position in the field.

The Seven of Wands shows you can win here, you can come out on top… but you need to make a clear-eyed assessment of where you’re at and what you need to do.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Security is important to you (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Knight of Coins

Meaning: Security is your ruling need. You have to feel safe, protected, covered in all outcomes, and like you’ve got a safety net beneath you. Possessions, money, status, wealth, and control all feed this need.

Something is off. You are ignoring something in your realm which is making you feel insecure, at a root cause level. Breathe, relax, think, roam your realm… what is it? Spot it and work on it. Restore the fortress mentality you so crave.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Lovers

Meaning: The Lovers is your tarot talisman and reflects your dual nature, the twin-like mind you have which can hold two opposing views in equal balance simultaneously. It’s a gift… and a curse.

Right now it might be a curse because it’s preventing you from engaging in a truth or reality you need to face, own, and make a decision about. Don’t dance around the issue. Don’t overshadow it with options and distractions and theories. Look at it honestly, look at what you can do, and decide to do something this week.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Three of Coins

Meaning: Don’t put yourself down, let doubt rule, or hide away from people who can help or promote you. The Three of Coins shows you have admirers, fans, and supporters. People with influence who can help you in work, health, or wealth.

Let them in. You’re painting a negative picture of yourself, their intentions, or the possibilities in play. You are shying away from letting others help you get what you truly want. Stop. This is silly. Let them help.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Nine of Cups

Meaning: The Nine of Cups is a cosmic wish pass granting you a genuine dream come true. Although this week is all about reality, the truth is that this dream can become a reality.

What do you need to do? Have faith in it and yourself. Believe it’s possible. Act like it’s happening. Make several bold, overt moves in your dream’s direction so the Universe gets the hint and can bring you good fortune and opportunity to help you on your way. Leo, this is happening!

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Ten of Coins

Meaning: You are an expert planner and strategist, but for some reason you’ve been ignoring your long term goals in terms of health, wealth, work and home. Why?

The Ten of Coins urges you to review where you’re headed, what you want, how your goals are coming along… and maybe decide upon some tweaks or changes. Know where you’re going so you can evaluate how useful and appropriate your current pathway and trajectory is. Spend time thinking about your long game this week.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Don’t sell yourself short, Libra (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Libra for this week: The Magician

Meaning: Appraise your skills and talents honestly. You are not fulfilling your true calling or potential. Perhaps it is time to recognise your unique gifts and make more of them – take a class, bring them into your current role, look at new roles, recreate your CV, or ask for a mentor to help amplify these skills.

The Magician shows you’re realising your power. You are seeing it clearly. The scales have fallen from your eyes. Now it’s time to make more of it!

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Are you harbouring a secret desire for change? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Four of Wands

Meaning: You want more. You truly do. You have been reluctant to admit it in these circumstances or tough times… but it’s true and you can’t deny it. The rewards for what you do are not enough and you are seeking richer pastures.

Do it, Scorpio. Make it happen. You deserve it. The Four of Wands shows you’ve outgrown your surrounds and you’re ready for the next level, this is likely career-based, but may be about your home too. It’s time to broaden those horizons.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Ten of Cups

Meaning: See your closest relationship with a clear lens. Notice the actions and behaviours and mood. Notice how you feel. Notice how they react to you. Don’t project or hope or make excuses or cover up… just see clearly.

The Ten of Cups shows you can make a few adjustments right now (be this a lover, partner, friend or family member) that can get things right back on the most loving of tracks. You are right for each other. Don’t let life get in the way.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Capricorn, you can learn a lot if you let pride go (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Page of Coins

Meaning: There’s something you’re lacking in terms of education or skill that you can quickly gain if you’d admit it was a gap and seek a means of filling it!

Pride can get in the way. Push your ego aside and figure out what you’d benefit from learning, understanding, or being able to do right now. The Page of Coins is a student, a learner, an apprentice, a person who gains knowledge and skill to help them get ahead. This is you right now.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

We all have highs and lows – embrace that (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Eight of Cups

Meaning: Aquarius, your astrological symbol the water bearer actually means purity and honesty. You are normally totally transparent and truthful. However, the Eight of Cups shows you’ve been resisting a situation where you feel disappointed.

You’ve been making excuses, hoping for change, seeking reassurance it will turn around… My friend, it is what it is and the sooner you admit it, the sooner you can move on to better opportunities. This is just a blip. Admit it and withdraw. Move on.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Go for action over contemplation this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Page of Wands

Meaning: Sometimes you feel scattered and a little chaotic. This week might start like that but the Page of Wands is here to help you through it. Don’t bottle things up. Don’t overthink. Take action, have a go, exercise, work off steam, release this nervous and jittery energy, try different stuff and don’t put pressure on yourself.

There are no right answers this week, just experiments and learning. See everything as opportunity to gain experience and wisdom. Release the perfectionism and tension. Be active. Be busy.
