With both Saturn and Mercury in retrograde this week, the cosmos is slowing us down to check what’s really working — and what isn’t.
Saturn wants us to review the foundations we’ve built (especially around responsibility and boundaries), while Mercury retrograde asks us to rethink how we communicate, plan, and move forward.
This week, the tarot has one key question for every sign: What am I being asked to revisit, revise, or release?
Let the cards show you where to reset. You can also join my tarot club free for a whole month and see how it changes your life.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Magician
Meaning: A phase of activation awaits, igniting a fire within that links to a genuine talent or skill of yours that you’d love to do more with. Maybe education is needed, or committed practice, or experimentation to find out how you can best use it in your life.
Look back at childhood, look back at your successes and things people always praise you for… these are clues leading you towards your natural gifts. And it’s time to use them. From now to late September, make a plan of activation. Time to rise! Time to claim!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: The Empress
Meaning: True love, family, and a happy home are all that really matter to you, Taurus, and you should prioritise these things, align your actions with their pursuit and protection, and be overt about your needs.
This card can indicate fertility so it can be an invitation to start, or grow, your family (even with a pet, or house upgrade). It also points to love, passion, attraction. And to a harmonious and happy home. You are a creature of comfort and stability, your home is your kingdom. Put it first. Invest the best of you into it. Create the loving nest you’ll never want to leave.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Emperor
Meaning: Power plays and masterful moves are what you need to think about, and then do. You can be very accommodating and peaceful, easy to work with, easy to get along with… but some folk mistake kindness for weakness and take the p***. Enough.
Come through this reset week with a harder, more self-centred, and demanding attitude towards getting what you want. Don’t be so reluctant to challenge, demand, push back, set boundaries, say no, and put your needs first. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. And it’s time to get.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Six of Wands
Meaning: What a lovely omen! You are going to get very lucky this next six weeks, you are going to encounter all kinds of magical coincidences and omens that are all designed to lead you towards success, love, joy, and opportunity.
Notice the presence of the number six or multiples of it. Notice Fire sign folk (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) who have great offers or ideas for you. Notice sparks, fires, flames, and shimmers that surround some kind of place or person. Notice the signs. Follow them. Be wholly in the grips of chance and serendipity and trust that you’re being led to where you need to be!

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Five of Coins
Meaning: Sit with your feelings this week, Leo, and just let them rise, be noticed, tell you what they need to say to you, and then send them on their way with gratitude. You have been putting a pin in a lot of unresolved emotion recently – possibly linked to loss, grief, or regret. These are hard things to deal with. But deal with them you must.
So, sit quietly, honour your solitude, rest and relax, ponder and reflect, journal, talk to a trusted friend. Get things off your chest and release this weight in your heart. You will feel immediately and significantly better.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Moon
Meaning: Mystery, illusion, secrets, and layers of meaning yet to be uncovered. This is the work of The Moon. Research, validate, sense check, question, discern, dig deeper, get under the skin of things and behind the scenes. You are going to play detective this week and get to the bottom of things that have felt unanswered or unresolved in 2025.
These mysteries, once cleared, will help you create a robust way forwards, one that looks different to what you currently believe you’ll be doing. So, do the homework, get the answers, find the truth! You’ve always been good at puzzles anyway!

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Nine of Cups
Meaning: Dream a dream, Libra. Romanticise your life. Live like a movie star. You are ruled by Venus and she is the goddess of love, beauty, riches, and pleasure. This is your arena, this is who you were meant to be. Make your life feel magical, special, loving, enchanted.
Weave beauty into everything you do. Create special outfits that are almost costumes. Spruce up your home and curate magical corners for you to languish in. Upgrade your diet – quality not quantity. Overhaul your stimulus – TV, music, podcasts, books, websites etc. Be mindful to only put beautiful things in your path and your life will feel authentically you!

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The Hierophant
Meaning: The theme of teaching or mentoring is what will define the second half of this year. And it starts this week. Perhaps you yourself are ready to move from an apprentice to master position. We all reach a stage where our experience is invaluable to others and we have much we can pass on.
Are you there? Maybe you feel like you need a mentor, tutor, coach or sounding board. Someone wise, shrewd, worldly, but also spiritual and loving. You want to seek the deeper lessons, the wider knowledge, the higher consciousness. Your mind and spirit are aligning and it’s leading you towards the theme of teaching, one way or another. Be open to this pathway.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Six of Coins
Meaning: Time to give back and give freely. Time to lift, support, motivate, encourage, and help others for no other reason than it feels good! You are ruled by Jupiter and you have energy, luck, and good fortune to spare. Your life is blessed. So share the love and joy. Be the one who offers to help first. Be the person who others remember for their good deeds.
This is a solid, rewarding, fulfilling, and magical way to live. A cycle of good karma that will bring you further riches, opportunities, and rewards too, because that’s how karma works. It’s a big cycle. Get into its flow and love the life you live.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: King of Wands
Meaning: Adventure, passion, ambition, new horizons, a fresh purpose that underpins all of the above and compels you to make amazing leaps and bounds into the unknown, off the beaten track, in pursuit of your dream! Look out for Fire sign folk too – Leo, Aries, Sagittarius – as they can be great allies in this journey of discovery, they have the courage and ‘just do it’ attitude that you can draw from.
You are ready for a new purpose, a stretching goal, an inspiring motivation. Seek, it, clarify it, visualise it. And then plan for it. Make one big, bold leap in its direction this week to get the momentum going.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Two of Swords
Meaning: It’s time to make all those decisions about things you’ve been putting off in 2025. Make a list. If it’s long, then that’s fine, this is how much you need to de-clutter your mental headspace and to-do list.
Go through the options, research the unknowns, sit down and discuss your hypothesis or ideals with someone shrewd and honest. Kick stuff about. Make some choices. Sleep on it. Execute the choices that help you sleep soundest. Move on. It can be that simple. Keep doing this until you’ve blasted the whole list, this might take up to two months.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Eight of Coins
Meaning: Hard work and dogged determination are what’s going to get you through. In the absence of inspiration or assistance, just push on and keep going yourself. Others will admire your fortitude, and the results will arrive.
A breakthrough (or two) will also happen that propels you further than you thought possible. You can’t see it right now, and maybe you feel tired and fed up, but the Universe is going to get you over the line, in style, with flair, and the awaiting rewards are all worth this slog. Just keep going.
