Are you setting those New Year’s resolutions early or taking life in as it comes? No matter your attitude or readiness, the stars and cards wait for no one, and you’ll notice some changes pulling you into 2025 immediately.
The New Moon in Capricorn on December 30th will be sending us off into the transition for the New Year with a productive, grounding, clear mind and spirit. Then, as Venus enters Pisces on the 2nd of January, we’ll experience a surge of intuitive connection and potency, emotional impact, and very strong feelings overall.
To get the low-down on what’s most important for you to know in particular, we’ve consulted the Tarot for its weekly guidance!
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for December 30 – January 5, 2024
Aries
8 of Wands
Aries is picking up the pace, and life is finally able to keep up with you!
The 8 of Wands is a fortuitous card for brave and bold Aries, as the sign of the ram doesn’t like to be kept waiting… and this card indicates that passion, haste, and momentum are the name of the game right now.
You may not have had the speediest or most exciting weeks recently, but this is one week that allows you to move spontaneously, open-heartedly, and adventurously.
What will you chase, Aries?
Taurus
7 of Wands
Taurus is in a fighting spirit, like it or not.
The 7 of Wands hints at uphill battles and independent action. You are handling most of your responsibilities all on your own right now and feel called to get a lot done — even if it comes with sacrifice and elbow grease.
On the one hand, this can be self-empowering and forward-thinking. You’re definitely making progress! On the other hand, you may tire yourself out easily, and becoming too one-track-minded is also a temptation you’ll have to fight actively.
Gemini
Knight of Cups (Reversed)
Gemini, the heart wants what the heart wants… but it’s not always that simple, is it?
The Knight of Cups reversed can complicate matters of the heart, making romance and deeper emotions feel unnecessarily complex yet also oh-so desirable.
You want to express yourself, get connected with those around you, and open yourself up to new emotional opportunities. However, you’re also easily emotionally burnt out this week, and sorting out how you actually feel and what you actually want is somehow harder than it seems.
Slow down and take a breather when you find yourself in these moments of confusion. Honor what your heart wants, but make sure you’re truly aligned with what that is first before making assumptions.
Cancer
The Chariot (Reversed)
Cancer isn’t feeling like their full selves, and that’s okay.
The Chariot is actually your card, Cancer, corresponding to your zodiac sign itself. Reversed, you’re having a harder time connecting with some of your best assets — your inner strength, self-determination, and intuitive decision-making.
As a result, this week will bring its difficulties, prompting you to self-reflect and reconsider your path and what you want from life.
At the same time, it can be a valuable period of contemplation that helps you reorient properly and fill in those gaps before 2025 really kicks off.
Leo
5 of Swords (Reversed)
Leo, conflict comes and goes, but your values can always stand firm.
The 5 of Swords forecasts cloudy, uncomfortable skies — mental turmoil, gossip, foul play, and messy communication surrounding you.
Reversed, you’re pushing a lot of this away, trying not to let the heat get to you. But it’s still possible you’re unconsciously internalizing some of this energy, allowing negativity into your head.
If you’re not careful, this can influence how you think and interpret information (about yourself and others). Set those boundaries firmly this week, Leo.
Virgo
Knight of Swords
Virgo, express yourself loudly and proudly… because the world needs what you have to offer!
This week, you’re embracing the powerful, expressive energy of the Knight of Swords. This empowering card is ideal for clear communication, setting strong boundaries, and holding your own in important conversations.
This also hints that your week may go faster than expected, so there’s no need to rush anything on your own, either.
Show up confidently, and don’t bite your tongue right now. You’ll be rewarded for your bravery!
Libra
Page of Cups
Libra is slowing down with an intuitive, creative, and wonderfully soft disposition.
For the week ahead, the Page of Cups shows you propping up a compassionate, sweet, and spiritually attuned attitude that puts the heart and whimsy of the Universe first above all else.
Use your imagination, lead with your heart, and let your emotions shine (even when it’s tempting to prioritize logic or reasoning).
This week is all about what’s really in your heart… and letting others see it, too.
Scorpio
3 of Swords (Reversed)
“Healing” is the keyword of the week for Scorpio.
Although the 3 of Swords can typically be a highly taxing, emotional card full of loss and frustration, the reversal notes that this week is about flipping all of that difficulty on its head.
In other words, this week is really about cleaning out old baggage, patching up any remaining wounds, and finding your way into a more healed, prosperous future.
As you head into 2025, you’re determined to embrace the New Year with a self-actualized, clear-hearted version of yourself, which just so happens to involve a little bit of extra work in the present week.
Sagittarius
Queen of Wands (Reversed)
Sagittarius typically has the confidence and pizzazz that the rest of the zodiac envies.
But this week, the Queen of Wands reversed hints that you’re feeling lower than usual, not as connected to your zesty, passionate self that resonates with a more vibrant spirit of adventure.
Don’t worry, Sagittarius. We all have our moments; this is your time to recalibrate before heading into 2025 more fully. What do you want? What drives you? What fulfills you?
Start by reconnecting with the answers to these questions (rather than jumping head-first into any action or spontaneity).
Capricorn
The Hierophant
Capricorn, you’ve got the organizational skills that we all truly envy around this busy season of the year.
With The Hierophant at your disposal, it’s no surprise that you’re being represented in the Tarot here as someone reliable, secure, and capable of facilitating even the most chaotic, unruly crowds and events.
It’s not like your work is going to be easy, but people are relying on you right now for order, balance, and understanding.
Sometimes, even just your guiding words and advice can go a long way, more than you realize. Wield your influence wisely, Capricorn!
Aquarius
3 of Wands (Reversed)
Aquarius, patience is key.
We know that this advice is always easier said than done. It’s hard to remain patient, especially with something like the 3 of Wands reversed slowing down your progress and making it harder to recognize if you’re truly on the right track.
When the ideal outcomes that you seek are foggy or hard to see, remaining patient isn’t always simple or straightforward.
However, rushing forward into the confusion isn’t a solution either. Stay put, keep busy, and try your best to maintain that Aquarian optimism in the meantime.
Pisces
Page of Swords (Reversed)
Pisces, you don’t need to know everything all at once, contrary to how it may feel or seem.
The Page of Swords reversed highlights your desire for awareness and knowledge, but it warns against asking too many questions, opening up unnecessary doors, or reaching out excessively to others just to get answers.
It’s not that your curiosity is a bad thing — it’s only that this week prompts you to reflect on what a true healthy outlet for it should look like.
Are you truly seeking clarity, or is your mind just keeping busy?
