Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Hermit
Meaning: Your urge to isolate, stay home, be alone, close the doors to the world outside is powerfully amplified by The Hermit. Do it. You need a time out from the outside influences. And it has a purpose. You’re looking into something – maybe related to a loved one, family goal, fractured relationship, hopeful romantic gesture.
It needs some consideration, reflection and research, and you want the headspace and quiet to do this. So, seek solitude and get your head into what matters and find your answers, then re-emerge victorious and ready to go!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Knight of Swords
Meaning: Your closest relationship dynamic is feeling a little fractured right now, a power struggle or tussle over chores, decisions, responsibilities or freedoms which has been building for a while. Take time to sit down and lay down your concerns or questions. Listen well to them and try to understand their perspective.
Only when you understand each other can you start to allow new compromises or resolutions to be voiced and accepted. It’s a vital step. This will get sorted, but both of you must be honest and respectful. Don’t bite your tongue, don’t rush to a ‘false peace’, get a fair solution in place.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Empress
Meaning: You are entering a winter love bubble and you should go all in on being soppy, soft, passionate, nurturing and cosy. Let this mushy side of you out to play. It’s a great time for fertility, if that is a goal right now, even if that’s about ‘birthing’ a pet or plant or new household upgrade.
It’s also a great time to stay in and make home feel like a playground where you can entertain your fantasies and desires, to batch cook, get wholesome and healthy together, to revamp spaces to feel warming and welcoming, and to de-clutter so you can fall in love with your space again. Love is the theme tune, sing along loudly!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Two of Wands
Meaning: What is most important to you about your home realm in 2026? What goals or ambitions do you have? What do you want to change or stop/start? Start out on the right foot. Don’t delay or procrastinate, but make a bold leap towards starting your home project or projects this week and show the Universe you mean business.
Once you do, opportunities and nice little gifts of good fortune and luck will flow your way. If you feel overwhelmed, break it down to its smallest parts. One small task daily to get the first chunk down! Start small, but start

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Six of Cups
Meaning: Affection, playfulness, inner child energy… it’s all swirling around you this week, including wistful memories about your childhood and past. And it starts to ignite a beacon within your heart that yearns for something or someone from your past.
A reunion or rekindling of love is on the cards. Maybe a long-lost friend or family member, maybe an ex lover. Maybe a place or activity or role you once adored but lost touch with. Whatever was gone and is missed may yet return. So let your heart open and warm to the idea and if a step or coincidence arises, then take advantage!

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Nine of Cups
Meaning: Make a wish. Make it with your family, loved one or best friend. Make it a shared dream. And then work together of breathing life and vitality into it, and something magical might happen this week (10 days tops).
Make this a wish that comes from both of your hearts – a new leaf, a holiday, a hobby, a shared enterprise, a home upgrade… whatever it is, make it heartfelt. And manifest it with intention, affirmation, small steps, and talking about it. Something really quite unexpected and special will swiftly unfold and reassure you that this is the right track.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Two of Coins
Meaning: Bring a sense of abundance, vs lack, to your home and family. Don’t see time spent indoors or just with your everyday folk as ‘less than’ or a compromise. Treat it like a magical gift and opportunity to create wonderful memories and build each other up. Who else can help you most vs those who know you best, right?
Bring new shows, games, foods, drinks, rituals and ideas into your home. Test and trial new things. Embrace an attitude of reinvention and imagination. Your home realm will feel bigger, bolder, and more exciting than you thought possible.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Eight of Swords
Meaning: Ask, and clarify how someone feels before jumping to conclusions. This Eight of Swords warns against projection and assumption because they lead you down wrongful paths towards false outcomes. So get the real and full picture before you take any actual steps or do anything different.
Don’t project your fears or dread onto another. Don’t assume you know what they’re thinking. Look to your own nature, habits, role and influence on things, and take ownership. A full, frank and enlightening conversation this week will clear the air.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: The Moon
Meaning: There’s a mystery in your home, family or inner circle that will be revealed this week in its full illumination and scope. Prepare to be surprised! Better still, go on the hunt, focusing on where you feel something is being hidden or disguised.
Ask, probe, fact-check, validate, discuss. You are the zodiac’s greatest truth teller and you can get to the nub of things faster and better than almost anyone. What you learn will change things, so learn it well. And then act accordingly.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Six of Swords
Meaning: You are embracing the energy of departures in and around your home realm this week – maybe someone is preparing to head off, maybe you’re thinking of moving, maybe you’re all resolving to expel a bad habit or routine in the home’s daily life.
Whatever it is, this is a good week to action it and make it happen. This is the right timing, somehow, and whatever is shifting will feel like it’s natural and necessary. Life is full of ebb and flow… this is an ebb week, but it’s come at the right time and you’re more than ready to let go. It’s liberating, and even a relief.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: The High Priestess
Meaning: Houses are often seen as metaphors for the mind or subconscious self in psychology. Hidden nooks and basements, lofty attics and stored away secrets, cosy welcoming rooms and busy kitchens… they all lend themselves well to parts of our identity and ‘front’.
The High Priestess sees you using this time at home to journey inwards, diving into your inner psyche and soul. You are drawing forth the insights and ideas that will shape 2026 for you, and you need solitude and peace to do so. Daydream, meditate, journal and ruminate. Powerful thoughts are emerging.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Nine of Wands
Meaning: Start 2026 with a focus on the little tasks and jobs that you might’ve put off from last year or have hung over you during Christmas and New Year. Stop procrastinating and get them all done and dusted – or at least well underway – this week.
I can’t tell you how relieved and empowered you’ll feel for getting this stuff out of your hair. Dread is a draining feeling. Escape it through action. Everything will go a lot faster and smoother than you think, I promise. It’s a busy, productive week in and around the home for you.
