Gentle and forgiving Cancer season kicked off recently, but a looming New Moon and Neptune retrograde will stir the emotional pot this week.
These two events will occur on the same date of the 28th, setting the tone for an otherwise very astrologically tame week. Dreamy and elusive Neptune will be retrograding in equally dreamy Pisces, and the New Moon will match the vibes of the month by occurring in the familiar face of Cancer itself.
In other words, this is Water sign energy galore — a great time for intuitive insights or perhaps getting a little lost in the waves.
How will you navigate the rocky seas? Let’s find out what your personal waves look like in this week’s Tarotscope.
As fast-paced, exciting, and eye-opening as last week was, The Devil brings a more serious tone to this week for you. You’ll have to be ready to face some music now — most likely the kind you don’t usually like.
In other words, there are old habits, routines, and perhaps even people still lingering in your space that no longer need to be there, Aries. You’re ready to move on.
Face the mess, and get ready to pack your bags.
You’re sitting in contemplative and wise King of Cups energy, who usually has a solid role of advising and creating and dictating the creative flow of energy in where it moves.
Reversed, imagine that this energy instead needs to be focused on those internal flows. Where is your intuition resting? Are you holding space for difficult emotions?
Those same skills need to be put to use, but just for you this week.
The Wheel of Fortune grants us good fortune and blessings… so long as we surrender a bit to the whims of the Universe. It’s harder than it sounds!
You may feel like nothing is coming together this week. Your goals aren’t panning out properly, obstacles hit your path left and right, and you’re feeling oh-so-alone in the midst of it.
And yet, these very roadblocks may be the guiding lights you need if you’re willing to roll with rather than against them. Trust that process, Gemini.

The 3 of Swords reversed indicates that you’re trying to put the past behind you and recover from old wounds.
This desire is admirable, Cancer. However, you need to be careful that you’re actually patching up something that’s ready to be healed and not picking at a scab prematurely.
Healing is a long process, and it doesn’t always look like a linear journey. Walk that path this week, but don’t feel the need to settle on an outcome quite yet.
The truth is that not everyone plays fair. Sometimes people take shortcuts, and sometimes those shortcuts end up hurting you as collateral damage — lying, cheating or stealing, to name a few.
The 7 of Swords indicates that you’re working through this energy this week. The playing field seems uneven lately, and you may wonder if taking a shortcut yourself is worth it too.
Just remember: shortcuts ruin the joy of the scenic route, Leo.
Strength pulls from your internal resources and reserves, indicating that you’re balancing a whole lot of effort all in one right now.
On the one hand, you’re nurturing your mental state, your emotional wellbeing, and your physical health. And on the other hand, you’re still very much engaged in your regular routines and day-to-day responsibilities.
You’re trying to see what a healthy balance of all of it looks like this week, Virgo, and the attempt is one you’re likely to see success in.
The 9 of Swords casts a gloomy shadow on your week, pointing to nervous tendencies and anxieties taking over. Cue the nightmares, the “you’re not good enough” voice, and old insecurities coming back to the surface.
Some of these little nagging voices are completely untrue, but sometimes rationalizing them away with that knowledge doesn’t always work.
You’ll need to hold space for those difficult thoughts one at a time, question why they’re there, and listen to what insights about yourself they’re trying to really get at Libra. And don’t forget that it’s okay to ask for help!
Burnout is looming or may already have hit some Scorpios out there. The King of Wands reversed points to either a complete lack or an excess of that strong will, drive, and ambition that this card is often known for.
Even in the case of excess, burning too brightly and quickly will later lead to burnout anyway. So overall, it’s important not to throw all of your passion and resources into just one basket right now.
Relax, and take a breather instead.

Love was in the air in one way or another last week. And this week, it’s being put to the test.
The 4 of Wands reversed puts your interpersonal connections on the line. Who really is there for Sagittarius at the end of the day? Who holds space for that Fire and adventure but also does so reliably and compassionately?
Some of your relationships (friendships included) may feel rockier this week, but it’s so that you can see who will really be worth your time in the long-run, wild archer.
The wise goat is careful and contemplative, and the 9 of Wands encapsulates a lot of that desire for caution. Just “being sure” about what will come next is often a Capricorn dream.
You can’t work your way through every unknown, however. Sometimes, things just are unpredictable, and you have to make the leap anyway.
With this card upside-down, it’s time to take that leap.
The Page of Swords upright is impulsive but decisive — they speak their truths and pursue the questions that they have on their mind fearlessly. Reversed, you may be second-guessing your ability to do this.
Aquarius have a knack for seeing the bigger picture of a collective need and the patterns in their social environments. However, they also sometimes feel a bit like lone wolves.
Remember that you have something to offer the world, Aquarius, regardless of who is listening. Say what’s on your mind, and let the message resonate with those who care to pay attention.
Call it the work of Neptune retrograde in your sign, or maybe just divine alignment in your own way — whatever the case, the Ace of Swords is here to light up the road ahead.
Make sure to write down any new ideas, goals, or ambitions that pop into your mind this week. There’s a good chance they’ll matter later, even if you don’t have the time to execute them all right away!
As the stars and planets take another turn into energy that changes the course of our paths, we may feel overwhelmed or confused by these shifts — wondering how they match up with the plans we had previously made.
And yet, when we roll with the flow of these changes and inquire earnestly about how we can prepare for them, the tools at hand will always provide us a guiding light.
