A big week, if not a mega week. A new month, New Year, and Full Moon in Cancer lie ahead, so expect to feel all kinds of ways!
Keep your feet on the ground. Keep the home fires burning and the mood in your sanctuary cosy, warm, and encouraging, even festive.
It is still the festive season after all, and it’s not gotten lighter or warmer yet, so burn those candles and eat that good food.
Let the tarot cards gift you the grounding insight you need to remember and be guided by this week.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Page of Coins
Meaning: Remember that everything is a work in progress, a learning curve, a chance to take on new insight and use it. No pressure, no ‘right first time’ mentality, no perfectionism.
Be a student of life this week. Observe others, and yourself, kindly and compassionately. Notice the little things. See each interaction as a learning opportunity. When you do something new, be patient with yourself. Maybe pick up a new book, podcast or documentary and seek to learn something more formally, something useful in your everyday life.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Page of Swords
Meaning: Remember that you are in control, and in this final turn of 2025, maybe don’t commit to anything! It’s all a game, an experiment, a weird liminal week between worlds… so just do whatever comes to mind and go with your own flow, not putting down anchors anywhere or promising anything!
This is against your usual mood and attitude, so it might feel weird, but I promise that something useful, interesting and ultimately unexpected will come from this approach. Be the Page of Swords-hedge your bets and keep all options open.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Four of Cups
Meaning: As New Year approaches, you can start to pressurise yourself into creating some superhero-standard resolutions and goals for 2026… stop! Can I tell you a secret? Even if you did nothing from now, you’re already ahead! You’re already wealthy in all the ways that matter.
This week, stop staring into the future and look at the here and now. Practice active gratitude and appreciation for what you have in this moment, right here. Look at your home, work, inner circle, riches, strengths, and opportunities. Praise your current position. You have it all.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Eight of Wands
Meaning: Ground yourself this week by feeling connected to others. Don’t isolate or stay in too much, ruminating or overthinking, reminiscing or daydreaming. Get out into the world, network, socialise, mingle, enjoy yourself, gossip, catch up, share news, write letters or cards, wish people a HNY!
The connections and conversations you have this week could completely change the game for you in 2026… something is brewing that can be fully activated only by the input or influence of another person. You need allies and ideas folk, supporters and helpers. They are found through conversation and connection. Go plug in!

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Eight of Cups
Meaning: Whatever disappointments or losses 2025 brought to you, please know and believe that 2026 is going to over-deliver on replacing and outdoing them – the Eight of Cups told me so! So let sleeping dogs lie, let those old wounds heal over, and whatever you do, don’t scratch them.
As the year begins, very quickly, you will see new growth and opportunity opening up in front of you, maybe even some direct replacements for things you hoped for last year. You handled everything well, you worked so hard, and now the rewards are going to come in. Toast 2026 with a full glass! It’s going to be great for you.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Tower
Meaning: Be grounded, peaceful and somewhat circumspect, openminded and shrewd about life this week. I say that because The Tower means your year might end with a little bang. Nothing you didn’t (truly) see coming, but maybe it all pops off at an inconvenient time. New Year can freak people out, make them say truths they’ve suppressed or reveal things they can’t carry into another year.
Listen well. Observe closely. Don’t knee-jerk react, but take your time to process. And then use this new insight to make new choices yourself. It’s going to be very interesting. And you will come through, as ever, in good shape and feeling free of a tension that has lingered.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: The Wheel of Fortune
Meaning: Chaotic, mischievous, exciting and topsy-turvy energy and unseen forces are at play in your realm this week, Libra, so make sure you know what matters right now and make that your priority… and let everything else slip and slide.
You will end the week in a different position than what you began it in – probably better. Things are shifting and you’re being nudged in new directions and shown new options. Don’t try and resist or cling to the old ways. New year, new slate.
My key advice? Make one big change or shift in perspective yourself, that suits you. The chemistry around you will unlock this and accelerate it for you.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Strength
Meaning: You are a super strong individual, not likely to be swayed by the chaos of twixmas and New Year. In fact, keeping your cool and staying grounded reminds you of your inner strength and tough core. You make your own mood.
As the year turns over, take time to list, acknowledge and celebrate what you have overcome, learned, achieved, and endured in 2025. It all meant something, it all forms the tapestry of your character and life story, so make sure you have your own narrative and spin on things. Look within and celebrate your strength this week. You earned it.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Queen of Coins
Meaning: Use this week as a kind of ‘magic hour’ where you get extra time to catch up, get ahead, cover your chores and streamline your schedule, plan stuff, get around to things you normally have to sidestep.
The Queen of Coins puts you in a very can-do, pragmatic, energised mood and makes you feel like sorting out all the stuff you often ignore, so that you enter 2026 feeling in control and on top of your game. It’s a good feeling, right? Chase it.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Death
Meaning: Embrace the energies of change this week. Embrace the opportunity to transform and move from one era to the next. Death is a powerful card of transformation. One which is begun by shedding or releasing the old, outdated, unhealthy, and false or fading energies that have held us back. So, do that.
New Year is the perfect excuse to have a clear-out, a streamline, a declutter, a change of the guard. Don’t carry anything into 2026 that you’re not in love with and finding benefit with. Be ruthless.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Nine of Wands
Meaning: As the year ends, particularly at work, folk will say ‘oh let’s pick this up next year’ and it feels great because that feels ages away, kick the can down the road… no. The Nine of Wands wants you busy and engaged and in full action mode this week. Do what needs to be done now, and don’t put it off.
Why? Because this card means the Gods are on your side this week and you can make amazing progress, more than you think, if you tackle the trickies and issues and stuff you’d put off. So, get to it. Get those flies out of your ointment and feel fantastic, like you really deserve that celebration!

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Seven of Coins
Meaning: There’s no rush this week, indeed there’s no rush at all ever, really. Life flows no matter what you do, or how fast you do it. Life carries on. So go floppy this week and let the current carry you onwards. 2026 will bring its own adventures and opportunities and plot twists. It will do that whether you’re busy or not.
So, rest. Relax and kick back this week and let your mind, body and spirit just gently notice what’s shifting, what’s happening, and have loose thoughts about what you might want to get into next year… evolution is the theme. Nothing drastic or sudden, a gentle flow.
