Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for December 2nd – 8th, 2024

This post was originally published on Astrology Answers

The first full week of December is right around the corner, and it’s full of astrological events that you’ll want to keep a close eye on!

Mars in Leo goes retrograde on the 6th, potentially causing irritability and restlessness but mostly also pushing us into creative, intentional productivity. Plus, with Neptune ending its retrograde on the 7th, we’re feeling more clear-headed and focused on what really matters most to us.

In other words, now is the prime time to focus on the goals, dreams, and ambitions that are close to your heart and bring them into your vision.

With that in mind, we’ve consulted the Tarot for advice, insight, and guidance about what’s to come on a more personal level.

Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for December 2 – 8, 2024

Aries

2 of Wands (Reversed)

Aries is invested in their future, but it isn’t coming so easily to them.

The 2 of Wands reversed forecasts cloudy skies and uncomfortable pacing when it comes to your hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the next steps.

You may find that burnout comes too quickly or that the intentions are there, but the plans just won’t matter, or for whatever reason, things just aren’t coming together.

These moments of frustrating non-progress can be discouraging, but it’s important not to let them stop you in your tracks entirely, Aries.

Taurus

2 of Pentacles

Taurus has a very solid, productive rhythm flowing this week!

You have a balanced, curious, and engaged disposition in the form of the 2 of Pentacles right now.

This card is ideal for career progress, making headway in any projects and blossoming ideas, teamwork and communication, and any and all things related to time management.

Take advantage of this healthy flow, Taurus. Focus on the tasks at hand in the present day, and don’t fixate too hard on where it’s all meant to lead.

Gemini

Knight of Swords (Reversed)

Although it is tempting for Gemini to speak and act boldly and bravely, now might be the time to bite your tongue.

The Knight of Swords reversed predicts that this week might be an unfortunate time for conversations, decision-making, and sharing opinions too loudly or proudly.

It’s not because you’re wrong or off-track, but just because tensions seem to be running high and you’re being called to a softer, more thoughtful attitude right now first.

Don’t push too hard to get your way, Gemini. Now is a time to roll with the punches… not throw them.

Cancer

7 of Pentacles (Reversed)

Cancer, there is a time and a place for planning and getting your ducks in a row.

However, you may have overstayed your welcome in this time with the 7 of Pentacles reversed.

Yes, contemplating the next steps and organizing the plans for the future can be important steps in making progress. But sometimes, reviewing the details over and over again is actually just another roundabout way of procrastination.

This week, ask yourself: Are you evaluating and thinking over things because they are genuinely productive or just because they feel productive?

Leo

The Magician

Leo, a creative, entrepreneurial spirit awaits you.

The Magician holds onto so much power — creative, ambitious, bold, and expressive power. It is an excellent omen for artistic projects, new ideas, and powerful conversations.

Leos are known for this kind of radiant aura that shines well under a spotlight, and right now is a great time to really embrace that part of you.

What would you like to make? Create? Or even… become?

Virgo

9 of Wands

Virgo is pulling back on their energy, which isn’t as restful as it actually sounds.

The 9 of Wands is a card of caution and reservation, carefully positioning yourself in situations so that you can see everything clearly but also step out and take immediate action if necessary.

To the untrained eye, it will look like you are simply pausing or taking a breather. But truly, you are in a constant state of observation and thoughtfulness, awaiting the right time to make your next move.

Know that this period of patience is just as draining as bold, large actions and decisions, and you will need to take care of yourself appropriately.

Libra

Page of Swords

Libra, do you have something on your mind?

With the Page of Swords on the table for you, it certainly seems like you at least have something to say. This energy is curious, thoughtful, and flexible, and you’re embracing its adaptable presence at the moment.

More important than decisiveness or saying the “right thing,” the Page of Swords is all about asking the right questions.

For you, Libra, making progress this week is more likely to come from an open mind, an engaged attitude, and a listening ear.

Scorpio

9 of Swords

Although Scorpio has a reputation for dancing comfortably with the darker aspects of life, the 9 of Swords isn’t something to play with haphazardly.

There is a difference between honest examination and reflection of shadows, wounds, and fears… and dwelling in that darkness excessively.

You will need to find and strike that balance this week, as this card warns against getting caught in the crossfires of fear and anxiety and getting stuck there.

Sagittarius

7 of Swords (Reversed)

Sagittarius, it’s time to rise above the rest.

And no, unfortunately, that doesn’t actually mean that this week is about grand-scale progress or powerful beginnings.

Actually, the 7 of Swords reversed is asking you to recenter on your intentions, remember your values and morals, and stand firm on what you genuinely believe in.

Others may be defaulting to selfish, tricky, or outright malicious behavior in order to get ahead. In order to advance in the way that is true to you, this week calls you to reflect and ensure that you don’t stoop to that level.

Capricorn

Ace of Pentacles (Reversed)

Capricorn isn’t finding the open door that they seek… not yet, at least.

The Ace of Pentacles reversed creates roadblocks in material progress and, more particularly, the beginning stages of a project, idea, or financial blessing.

You have been taking all the right steps, Capricorn, but the Universe just isn’t ready to hand you the right opportunity yet.

Although it may be frustrating to hear that more patience is required, you know how important it really can be to stay the course (rather than reach for something that isn’t fully right for you out of fear or impatience).

Aquarius

Knight of Wands (Reversed)

Aquarius wants to charge forward with optimism and positivity, but it’s not coming out quite right.

The Knight of Wands reversed points to odd, stunted, and scattered energy levels. You may feel entirely motivated and ready to jump into action one day and then entirely burnt out and uncertain the next.

It’s also tempting to lean into escapism right now, thinking that a spontaneous action or a change of location might “fix” everything.

Now is not the time, however, for any of that silliness. In those moments, find patience, stillness, and rest, Aquarius.

Pisces

8 of Swords (Reversed)

Pisces is pushing outside of the constrictions and bindings that once seemed impossible to break out of.

The 8 of Swords is usually at least a bit self-created, the kind of “I can’t do this” mindset that leads to self-sabotage and holding yourself back from good things out of insecurity or fear.

Reversed, you are ready to finally let this attitude go.

This week is a powerful time for re-awakening into your power, honestly examining the ways in which you’ve held yourself back, and embracing the true you who can do beautiful things.
