Taurus: Five of Swords Reversed

Let it go, Taurus. It might feel tempting to hold onto a grudge or continue fighting in an endless argument, but this week reminds you that your energy could be far better spent elsewhere. Is this really that important to you, or do you just need to be right? It’s time to seek peace and move forward.

Gemini: Five of Pentacles Reversed

Cultivate resilience, Gemini. If you’re currently facing a difficult time, try to see this experience as an opportunity for personal growth to develop strength through adversity. The most painful challenges often yield the most profound lessons, but don’t feel like you need to face this alone. It’s helpful to be proactive and seek out additional support.

Cancer: The Devil Reversed

Just say no, Cancer. It’s essential to establish healthy boundaries and do what’s necessary to protect your peace right now. Prioritize your well being by not committing to every option that comes your way, and giving yourself more space to just be. It’s more than ok to decline, free of excuses or justifications.

Leo:  King of Pentacles

Enjoy your success, Leo. Before rushing into the next goal or endeavor, this week reminds you to enjoy the success of everything you have already achieved. It’s hard to stay motivated and inspired if you never celebrate the abundance of blessings you currently possess. Make it a point to celebrate with the people you love.

Virgo:  Seven of Swords Reversed

Consider a new approach, Virgo. If you know that something isn’t working, then this is your opportunity to re-evaluate and troubleshoot your current plan in favor of something else. Try out a different strategy and be direct because a more honest and straightforward path may yield better results.

Libra: Eight of Wands

Act quickly, Libra. It’s time to stop contemplating and make a move this week, so don’t hesitate much longer when it comes to making an important decision. The energy is supportive of progress, and overthinking is just making this moment harder than necessary. You already know what to do.

Scorpio: Queen of Pentacles

Strive for balance, Scorpio. It’s hard to have an equal amount of personal and professional time, especially when everyone is begging for your attention right now! This week calls for well thought-out boundaries between your work and home life, in order to get everything done without burning yourself out.

Sagittarius: Ace of Pentacles

Plant your seeds, Sagittarius. Something new is on the horizon, and to make the most of this beautiful potential, it’s time to get practical and focus on tangible aspects of your life that could benefit from improvement. Create a tangible plan of self-care by focusing on stability and sustainability.

Capricorn: Seven of Pentacles Reversed

Good things take time, Capricorn. Forcing something isn’t going to make it happen any faster, and giving up entirely certainly won’t yield the results you want either!
