Okay, with that all done, let’s dive in and see what the cards have in store! 🎴
Aries
Temperance: If you want to attract more flow and ease into your life, seek patience, moderation, and balance. Focus on finding the middle ground in areas where you may be either overextending yourself or holding back. Find moments of peace and tranquility where you can be in the here and now. Incorporating small moments of mindfulness will help you stay grounded and aware.
Challenge: Dedicate 10 minutes each day to a mindful practice that helps you reconnect with your sense of balance.
Taurus
Seven of Pentacles: When you’ve poured energy into a goal, slow progress can feel discouraging—but remember that growth takes time. Be patient and kind to yourself as you continue putting in the work. Trust that your efforts will come to fruition. If frustration sets in, pivot your focus briefly; when you return, you’ll see how far you’ve come.
Challenge: Take a moment to review your progress on a current project—celebrate how far you’ve come, and identify one small, meaningful step to keep moving forward.
Gemini
Two of Swords: Indecision can make it feel like life has come to a halt, but avoiding a choice won’t make the path clearer. Take time to weigh your options, but don’t get stuck in overthinking. Ask questions, get the answers you need, and don’t worry about being right; even imperfect decisions can lead to growth. Clarity will come when you move forward with intention.
Challenge: Identify one decision you’ve been putting off and take one small action today to move closer to a resolution.
Cancer
Four of Swords: If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion or stress, this card reminds you to pause and recharge. Give yourself permission to step back, disconnect (especially from those racing thoughts), and restore your energy before moving forward. There is no guilt in taking a break now, so that you can live to fight another day. If you don’t, the universe will do it for you.
Challenge: Schedule at least three blocks of time this week to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Leo
Ace of Pentacles Rx: There are a number of opportunities available to you, but fear of failure or self doubt may be holding you back from seeing what’s there. Are you clinging to old habits or mindsets that no longer serve you? This is a chance to reevaluate how you approach abundance and trust that you’re worthy of new beginnings. The seeds of potential are there—will you plant them?
Challenge: Reflect on one area where fear or doubt has stalled your progress, and take one small, bold action to move forward.
Virgo
Four of Pentacles: It’s natural to seek safety and security, but clinging too tightly can limit your growth. Consider where your desire to protect yourself might be holding you back from valuable opportunities. Some investments—whether in relationships, skills, or dreams—are worth loosening your guard to pursue.
Challenge: Identify one area where you can afford to take a small, thoughtful risk and let the wall down.
Libra
Knight of Cups: Follow your heart and let your passions guide you. However, remember to stay grounded as you chase your dreams. Balance romantic ideals with practical steps forward. Take action on your feelings, and show those you love that you care. Allow your emotions to inspire you, but don’t let them sweep you away entirely—steady progress will turn visions into reality.
Challenge: Write a heartfelt note or message to someone, letting them know how much they mean to you.
Scorpio
Seven of Swords Rx: There are truths coming to light this week, so choose wisely which side of the story you want to be on. Whether it’s about yourself or others, it’s in your best interest to approach these revelations with honesty and integrity. While there may be a desire to protect yourself, do what you know is right so you don’t get stuck with regret.
Challenge: Reflect on a truth that’s recently come to light and decide on an honest action you can take to align with your values.
Sagittarius
Ace of Cups: A fresh wave of emotions and connection is flowing into your life. Give yourself permission to experience it all fully. Embrace vulnerability and let your heart lead you toward new opportunities in love, creativity, or self-discovery. Be present in the world. Allow yourself to give and receive freely—you have so much to offer, now is not the time to sell yourself short.
Challenge: Start something new: perform a random act of kindness for a stranger or a loved one. Go with what feels right.
Capricorn
Eight of Pentacles: Dedication and focus are your greatest tools right now. Whether you’re learning a new skill or perfecting your craft, your hard work will pay off, but at the same time, don’t be afraid to invest time, energy, and perhaps even money into getting better at what you desire. Embrace the process, knowing that each small effort is building something truly worthwhile.
Challenge: Commit to practicing or improving one skill this week, even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day.
Aquarius
Three of Pentacles: Collaboration and teamwork is where it’s at this week! Working with others can spark fresh ideas and help you accomplish more than you could alone. Be open to feedback and trust in the unique strengths each person brings to the table; remember, you don’t need to be the expert in everything. Give everyone their chance to shine.
Challenge: Reach out to someone for advice, feedback, or collaboration on a project you’ve been working on.
Pisces
Knight of Pentacles: Slow and steady wins the race. This is a time to stay consistent, committed, and focused on your long-term goals. While the pace might feel slow, each careful step you take builds the foundation for lasting success. Trust in the process, stick to your plan, and be sure to take care of all the small, sometimes mundane, details.
Challenge: It’s time to do something you’ve been putting off. Take to that to-do list, and cross a few items off.
