Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for December 23 – 29, 2024
Aries
Ace of Cups
Aries, love is on the way and popping up in multiple forms!
The Ace of Cups sheds a positive light on your relationships with others, your creative projects and ideas, and intuitive or spiritual inclinations.
Love is coming from all around you and within you, blossoming into positive feelings, new opportunities, and fresh starts.
Keep your heart open this week, not just for the planned or expected festivities… but also for all the unexpected ways that life can bring you blessings.
Taurus
9 of Swords (Reversed)
Taurus, this week’s success will involve you letting go of past baggage and anxieties.
In other words, the 9 of Swords reversed highlights the necessity of focusing on the shadowy, darker parts of your mind.
This includes anything that has been nagging at you, telling you that you’re not good enough, or bogging down the potential for enjoying yourself (especially in such a cheerful time).
You’re called to honestly check in with yourself, identify those thought patterns upfront, hold space for the difficult parts of them and slowly work to proactively release them all.
Gemini
The Empress
Gemini has pulled The Empress this week, a lovely card full of abundant potential.
This energy offers creative, expressive instincts for your week ahead, noting the potential of your artistic power and your ability to lead by facilitating comfortable spaces for others (rather than necessarily calling the shots overtly).
You’re leading with love, identifying the beauty and positivity that can exist in the world around you, expanding upon it… and helping others see it within themselves, too.
Cancer
The Hierophant
Cancer is embracing tradition and order this week.
The Hierophant is usually an orderly card that brings structure and stability to the table. Routines, past traditions, and existing methods of living come into full view here.
This is actually a lovely card for safe, comfortable holiday traditions, a good omen for uplifting celebrations.
It’s also a positive sign for anyone hoping to conduct rituals for the Winter Solstice season or even just facilitate gatherings for festivities.
Leo
7 of Wands
Leo, you’re doing it all on your own, but is it necessary to do so?
The 7 of Wands hints that you may be tempted to handle your responsibilities fully independently. This week, you have a lot to do and plenty of people to see, as is totally understandable for a busy season like this.
However, your independence won’t be sacrificed by asking for some help.
Yes, you’re a brave, strong spirit. And you’re allowed to share some of the responsibility with others, reach out for assistance, and allow others into your space to help things move smoothly, Leo.
Virgo
Ace of Swords
Virgo, now is the time to move boldly, speak loudly and proudly, and project the confidence that we know you have within!
The Ace of Swords is a strong card for powerful, enlightening conversations — or even one that breaks the ice with a good joke and makes way for a new connection.
It’s a great time for socializing, investing in new ideas, and following your instincts.
This week is all about investing in the impulses and innovations that make you uniquely great… and make you stand out from a crowd! Shine bright, Virgo.
Libra
Ace of Pentacles (Reversed)
Libra, the world is slowing down alongside you as you slow down for the holidays.
Although the Ace of Pentacles can usually be a welcomed sign of additional prosperity, new beginnings, and career or financial blessings, the reversal puts a halt on these endeavors for now.
That doesn’t mean that you’re running into chaos or catastrophe. You just aren’t meant to make drastic changes or see anything out of the ordinary entering your life for now.
Enjoy what you have and give thanks for the existing abundance in your life, and patience and fresh starts will find you more easily down the line.
Scorpio
Page of Cups
The imagination is a powerful thing, especially for Scorpio.
With the Page of Cups at your side, you’re creatively and intuitively whipping up a storm this week. This card is a positive omen for artistic and spiritual pursuits, lighthearted and open-hearted in attitude and spirit.
Crack open a journal, pull up an artistic hobby, or conduct your favorite holiday-themed ritual.
Whatever you may do in order to connect with this softer, creative side of yourself, now is the time to do so!
Sagittarius
Death
Sagittarius, you’ve always been the kind of person to do things in your own way, no matter the time, circumstance, or popularity of your ideas.
This week, Death expresses that the holidays aren’t slowing down your desire for personal change, transformation, and taking your life into your own hands.
In other words, this is a time of challenging old ways of doing things, letting go of anything still holding you back, and especially inauthentic perspectives, ideologies, or goals that may have been occupying your time previously.
Capricorn
2 of Cups
Capricorn, this week, you’re called to focus on one word: relationships.
Yes, the 2 of Cups centers the relationships you have with others. Right now is in important time for tuning into how your heart feels, leading with emotion, and allowing those you care about into your heartspace.
For those seeking romance, this can be an ideal time to deepen existing connections. But in general, consider this to be prime time for reaching out to people around you, romantic or not.
When you allow others in like this, you may find that unexpected blessings enter into your life just as openly!
Aquarius
Queen of Cups (Reversed)
Aquarius may find this week to be particularly taxing on their hearts.
The Queen of Cups reversed hints at emotional frustration, especially relating to a lack of control over your feelings — as if they are taking over you entirely, no longer something you can channel yourself.
The holiday season can be murky for some of us, digging up old feelings and opening up our hearts in a more vulnerable way to emotions that we weren’t expecting to feel. Currently, this may be the case for you, Aquarius.
It’s essential to take care of yourself as if you were undergoing emotional difficulty, even if you don’t “logically” feel like something is wrong.
Pisces
The Lovers (Reversed)
Pisces, you want love to find you, but it seems like it gets more complicated the more that you chase it.
The Lovers reversed hints that this week is an especially precarious time for handling your relationships with others. If you are at a crossroads or find yourself questioning your commitments, know that this isn’t the time to announce a final verdict.
This chaotic, messy, and emotionally intensive energy suggests that you’d benefit more from alone time, meditation, and ample rest.
It doesn’t suggest that you should rush into any major decisions or evaluate things based on emotion just yet, so hold onto that reminder, Pisces.
