We have a few planetary movements of note happening this week. First, Mars, ruling over our drive and ambitions, will move into its home turf of Aries on the 24th.
And towards the end of the week, Venus, the planet of love and beauty, will move into its home turf of Taurus on the 28th. So yes, we’ve got a couple of great, beautifully flowing transits this week, and we may feel more comfortable and empowered thanks to them.
Now you’re briefed on the general stuff and ready to figure out how this week and its changes may play out for you in specifics. Time to check in with the Tarot!
This week is all about your internal willpower, ambitions, and drive and how it translates into the bigger picture — especially when it comes to the goals and aspirations that really matter to you.
The Chariot reversed indicates that you may be feeling challenged and perhaps offput in these areas, but this is not a sign to give up. Breathe, find calm, and tune back in with that fighting spirit of yours.
The Magician encourages your creative and entrepreneurial pursuits and spirits. You have plans and many ideas that you’ve been bouncing around in your head lately, but now it’s time to put pen to paper and get moving.
It may be strange for you to feel like you’re moving along at a speedier pace than your usual bull-like speed, but you can trust that your previous planning and preparation will guide the way.
The 3 of Wands reversed hints at the many ideas and ambitions that you still have floating around, and some of them that have still yet to fully come to fruition.
But you’re getting a bit impatient with the results, and some of you are forgetting that the journey is supposed to be as important as the outcome.
Slow down, relax, and enjoy the ride.

The 4 of Wands opens up your week by placing emphasis on community, friends, family, or other loved ones. It’s particularly a good week for connecting with people that you care about and deepening those bonds.
In other words, it’s not a time to retreat back into your shell, Cancer, no matter how chaotic the times are around you.
Feel open to leaning on others’ shoulders this week, engaging in lighthearted conversation, and not sweating the little things by passing time with your favorite people.
The Fool reversed cautions against rushing into things too fast and furiously right now. Your enthusiasm is a good thing, but you’re not meant to be saying “yes” to everything right now.
Although you’re at the beginning of new opportunities and fresh starts, there’s no need to have everything figured out right away.
After all, that defeats the whole benefit of starting with a clean slate!

The Ace of Swords shows that Virgo has something to share. You have wisdom and insights that the world would greatly benefit from, and now is the time to say them out loud.
Initiate that important conversation, write out that email, post that idea on social media — whatever it is, get it out into the world. Don’t retreat into the shadows; now is the time to shine!
For you, this is a productive week for communication, as well as clear and decisive action.
The Knight of Swords asks that you confidently step into this role, and take advantage of the abundance of productive energy now at your disposal. This is also a good time to set important boundaries or write out future plans.
Enjoy, and take advantage of it, Libra!
It’s often tempting for the Scorpion to just “persevere” and keep working through the pain or wounds, but this is not the week to try it. The 8 of Pentacles reversed warns against overworking yourself, as you may just land yourself in deeper burnout.
Day-to-day, grounded responsibilities may not seem related to emotional wellness on the surface, but throwing your energy in there when you’re still healing in another way is not the right move.
Take care, slow down, and give yourself the time to heal properly.
It’s not surprising that the wild archer tends to struggle a bit with the grounded, routine nature of this Knight. You may be tired of it already, no matter how technically productive you know this energy is.
Instead of fighting against it, though, try to find the fun and adventure in even some of the more mundane aspects that it brings to the table. Who said a checklist can’t be fun?
After all, if anyone can figure out a way to make a routine errand an adventure, it’s you, Sagittarius.
The Knight of Wands brightens up your week with a Fiery spark. You may feel more empowered to take bold risks, say “yes” to more opportunities, and move with more confidence than usual.
The wise, steady goat is not typically one for risk-taking and pointless fun, but you’re aware now that balance of work and play is actually very productive.
This week, you’re merging those two worlds.
Spiritually and emotionally, it may seem to everyone else that you “have it all together.” This week you’re embodying the mature King of Cups, most likely thanks to a lot of the inner work you’ve been doing over the past couple of weeks.
In a way, it may be good for you to feel comfortable in this role of advisor, as it can show you that you’re capable and responsible enough for just about anything that life throws at you now.
Just don’t overextend yourself — you need some of those emotional reserves and wisdom for yourself!
You’ve been going on a rollercoaster ride of changes recently, and this week isn’t an exception yet. Rather than physically change anything though, this week invites you to look at any internal baggage you’re still carrying around.
The Devil reversed is no joke — you may have to discard old habits and ties that you’re not fully ready to say “goodbye” to yet. Still, this is a necessary and healing process you’ll need to undertake.
Of course, there’s always more you could dive into. You could look at your personal daily horoscope, snag a personal Tarot reading, or maybe you even want to learn how to read Tarot yourself. The beauty of the stars and cards is that there’s always more to read and more to learn!
So, you’re never alone as you traverse the seemingly unknowable depths of the future, as these tools will always be here to guide you along the way.
And if you ever feel a little lost… you can always re-read your Tarotscope at any time!
