This week's tarot card for Aries: Empress
According to the Empress, your effortless shine attracts a level-up and a brand-new role this week. As Jay-Z confidently rapped at the beginning of Beyoncé's song 'Upgrade U', "What's higher than number one?" You're about to find out, Aries.
Thanks to Mercury shifting into Virgo on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, abundance flows your way when you speak your truth, allowing yourself to be seen as who you truly are. Meanwhile, Wednesday's waxing gibbous moon in Aquarius positions you as the go-to source for wisdom and support.

This week's tarot card for Taurus: Chariot, Reversed
Taurus, based on the Chariot card coming out reversed, you're feeling a little lost this week. The path that once seemed so clear-cut for you isn't really adding up anymore. You're confused if this is still the direction you're supposed to take.
This may be because of someone's weak attempt to distract you, to make you think there's a fire ahead and you need to turn around. But deep down you know better.
Friday's Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces reminds you that you chose this path for a reason. That is all you need to remember to keep moving. You can take your time walking to let the smoke clear out, but you're staying put.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

This week's tarot card for Gemini: Seven of Cups
With the Seven of Cups card appearing for your weekly horoscope, you are being divinely guided to trust your gut instincts and dig deeper this week. Deep down, you know there's more. And you're not wrong, Gemini.
As Mercury enters Virgo during a waxing gibbous moon shifting from Capricorn to Aquarius, you are encouraged to go beyond the surface and follow your heart to the answer you know is there. Tuesday is a day of validation for you. Don't deny yourself that.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

This week's tarot card for Leo: Devil
According to the Devil card, you are holding yourself back this week. This is not like you, Leo. So the question really is, are you openly holding back or secretly holding out?
Though Monday's waxing gibbous moon in Capricorn calls for you to fully commit and Mercury's move to Virgo on Tuesday urges you to stay true to the standards you've set, you don't address the question on inquiring minds until Friday.
During the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on August 28, you freely share that something more important required your full attention. Now what?
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

This week's tarot card for Virgo: Empress, Reversed
With the reversed Empress card appearing for your weekly tarot horoscope, you are experiencing some self-doubt and relying on the opinions of others for validation. What has you so unsure this week, Virgo?
It's your season now, so deep down, you know what you feel guided to do. But the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in your opposite sign (Pisces) is challenging you to take the road less traveled rather than a perfectly laid-out route. The reason for extra input? You know you can. You just don't know if you should.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)

This week's tarot card for Libra: Three of Pentacles, Reversed
Libra, according to the reversed Three of Pentacles, you have been doing a significant amount of work on your own.
Rather than self-work, your energy seems to be more about strengthening your value, both internally and externally. Are you building your wealth, taking steps to elevate your status, or both?
Mercury moving into Virgo on Tuesday, the same day the moon continues its waxing gibbous journey through Capricorn and Aquarius, grants you a more practical perspective on your current situation. Rather than your usual hope-filled mantra that everything happens for a reason, you focus on the lessons learned and intend to apply them.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

This week's tarot card for Scorpio: Eight of Swords, Reversed
Having the Eight of Swords appear in reverse shows you are making yourself less accessible this week, which is so intriguingly you. Inquiring minds want to know, Scorpio. What are they losing your attention to?
Tuesday, the waxing gibbous moon travels through goal-oriented Capricorn and visionary Aquarius, while Mercury enters intentional Virgo. This transit encourages you to only invest time into what is uniquely sacred to you.
So, in this case, you’re not actually shying away from anything. You’re locking in on one specific thing that is so special, it requires your full attention.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

This week's tarot card for Sagittarius: Three of Cups
According to the Three of Cups card, you have reason to celebrate this week, Sagittarius. Turn up the music and turn on the party! Because you’re ready to count and observe your blessings loud and proud.
You’ve been in the midst of a long journey that tested your faith and patience. But thanks to Friday’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, it all pays off. Your faith is rewarded by the end of the week as everything comes together, and you look back on the changes in your life with gratitude and hope for the future.

This week's tarot card for Capricorn: Ace of Cups
The Ace of Cups alludes to new love or new relationships entering your life this week. Are you ready to take a chance on a new love, Capricorn? Or is someone else asking you to take a chance on them?
With the waxing gibbous moon traveling through your sign and Aquarius on the same day that Mercury enters Virgo, Tuesday’s energy reveals the signs that help you align with a creative cheerleader who has captured your heart and proven themselves worthy of your trust.
By the weekend, you’ll reflect on this connection, grateful for the joy and fulfillment it has brought you.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

This week's tarot card for Aquarius: Seven of Swords, Reversed
Aquarius, the reversed Seven of Swords showing up for your weekly tarot reading reveals that you’ve been avoiding a truth you’re finally ready to face. What have you been reluctant to admit to yourself?
Though Monday’s waxing gibbous moon in Capricorn helps clear up some confusion you’ve encountered, Friday’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces brings you a shocking awakening.
You can admit when you’re being hardheaded because you weren’t ready to let go of a particular vision. But you also know this is for the better and something you will love even more than what you previously had.

This week's tarot card for Pisces: Fool, Reversed
According to the Fool card appearing in reverse, you’re living in the moment. But with the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurring in your energy this week, it's important to start planning your next steps.
Though Mercury’s move into your opposite sign (Virgo) on Monday helps you give voice to your dreams and desired actions, the waxing gibbous moon in Aquarius the next day encourages you to be more selective about who you share things with because this new development is meant for you first.
That knowledge, the excitement of something that is exclusively yours, helps make your dreams more tangible on Thursday. Friday’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in your sign prompts you to take a huge leap of faith, but keep it to yourself. At least for now.
