Your Weekly Tarot Reading for January 12 – January 18, 2025: Prioritize Self-Care: Nurture, Protect, and Reflect

This week begins with a beautiful full moon in the sign of sweetly sensitive Cancer, who shows us how to nurture our emotional well being.  As the sun resides in ambitious, hard working Capricorn, this lunar moment offers an opportunity to indulge in some major self care in order to feel refreshed and rejuvenated, as we work on making our biggest dreams come true through determination and discipline. It’s so important to care for yourself sustainably and with longevity in mind, as any other option will lead straight to a burnout! 

This week’s intuitively pulled cards encourage patience and reflection in order to navigate your current circumstances with more clarity and intention. Nurture your emotions by staying in tune with your feelings, and foster your emotional wellbeing, both for yourself and within your relationships. By strengthening your personal connections, a mutual support system is readily available, so lean on those you love if you need additional help or an outside perspective!  Cherish your relationships and celebrate achievements together. Personal time is just as valuable as striving forward with achievements, and there truly is no rush or need to be overly hasty or confrontational. Give yourself time and space to understand any confusions before proceeding, and approach discussions with thoughtfulness and care to avoid misunderstandings. Let this week’s energy show you that you’re ready to explore what’s available to you. Stay open to new possibilities and experiences.

Sagittarius: The Sun Reversed

Aquarius: Four of Cups Reversed

Let go of past disappointments, Aquarius. It’s easy to get caught up in old regret or rumination over how situations could have gone differently. But at this point, what’s the point?

Pisces: Knight of Swords Reversed

Do you really want to say that, Pisces? When emotions are high this week, it would be best for you (and all involved!) if you press pause and consider what you actually wish to convey before firing off a text in the heat of the moment. Be more mindful of how you express your thoughts and feelings, so you can aim for clarity.
