A new month dawns, giving us a clean slate, followed by the shift of Mercury into Cancer, which brings family and home themes under the spotlight. This may mean nostalgic memories surface and you want to recreate what was once so magical. Summer isn’t far away now either — lazier days, longer nights, an invitation to be playful and have more fun. Let’s accelerate towards that lovely feeling now; a practice run if you like! Let the tarot cards guide us towards the real fun awaiting us this week. What person, place or activity is going to give us a real good time?
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Seven of Cups
Meaning: The good times this week are already living inside your imagination — you are the zodiac’s ultimate party starter, after all. So, all you need to do is get what you are dreaming of doing into your real life. Tell them about it. Book it. Reserve it. Share it. Organise it. Don’t worry about folk saying no thanks, or laughing, or belittling your idea. People are actually envious of your big dreams, your larger than life ideas, and your uncanny ability to pull it all off! Do something that will make this week a week to remember forever! I dare you.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Judgement
Meaning: You just want to do something for yourself, possibly by yourself (or with a mirror soul), and enjoy it without anyone judging, interfering or wanting a piece of the action or your time. Is that too much to ask? No it is not, Taurus. Judgement wants you to be authentic and fully present, to invest in something that you alone crave doing and want to enjoy. A spa day, shopping, reading in a cosy spot, going on a hike, getting a major makeover, signing up to a class or course that fascinates you. Do it. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Make yourself the main character.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Ten of Cups
Meaning: Your love life and inner circle is where it’s all at this week, Gemini, it is your sign’s season after all, so you’re kind of the centre of attention — rightly so! You may find yourself falling (deeper) in love, wandering out with a new friend who feels like a soulmate, receiving news of a secret admirer that makes you feel excited, or creating an alliance with someone at work and knowing you’ve got each other’s backs. Folks underestimate your loyalty, your steadfast devotion to people and ability to enhance their life. You’re an asset, a treasure, and a gem of a person. Act like it, know it, believe it, and enjoy the fruits of it this week.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Eight of Swords
Meaning: The good time for you this week is found by switching off the ‘overthinking’ and ‘assumption’ gears in your brain. All the way off. Stop assuming you know what folk really think about you. In fact, stop caring too! Your self worth and inner value comes from your own perspective and understanding of your nature, progress and struggles. All you can do is measure the version of you now with the past version — do you think you’re growing, learning, improving? If so, celebrate and keep going. If not, don’t worry, just set a small goal this week that will take you from A to B, in some way. Prove you can do it. And repeat.
Leo (July 24 – August 23)
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Ten of Wands
Meaning: Take a break this week! Kick back, switch on the ‘out of office’ (mentally if not physically), and make your leisure time feel like a true vacation… sunbathing, cocktails, late nights, long walks, romantic gestures, ‘what if’ thinking and ideas. You have been working so hard recently, investing a lot of mental energy into something, and you’re closer to a mini burnout than you may realise. Sidestep that outcome by simply resting, enjoying your time, turning away from the problems for a while (some may resolve themselves, and you’ll return to what’s left with a clearer head and new set of ideas). Vacation time.
Virgo (August 24 – September 23)
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Sun
Meaning: The Sun promises that you are due to have a wonderful week, maybe the best of 2026 so far! A bold promise, yes, but this is a great card. It’s like a portal is opening up in front of you — and if you’re bold enough to take a leap and jump through it, you will land in a realm of success, joy and happiness. What bold leap can you take? Maybe it’s a pitch, an idea launched, an application, a trip booked, a date arranged, a person welcomed, a decision made. Something that represents hope and optimism for you, that represents a move forwards to a better place. You are being blessed with good fortune this week, use it to make a wonderful step to a brighter future.
Libra (September 24 – October 23)
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Three of Cups
Meaning: You are the good time, this week, Libra! Ruled by Venus, you’re blessed with beauty, pleasure and wealth. You innately know how to be good company and how to make sure folk have a good time. So, your mission this week is to be social, to get around as many folk as you know and like. Don’t make this a chore. Truly choose to spend time with people you love, have missed, or know match your upbeat vibes. Do new things together to create new memories and connections. Visit magical places, try something offbeat, do the luxury option, test the new venue in town. Live life well with folk you like. It can all be that simple.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Two of Swords
Meaning: The good times are waiting for you, this week, on the other side of a big decision you’ve been putting off making or even facing up to. Not like you, because you’re typically a fearless progressive, always moving forwards with your ambitions. Maybe this is a head vs heart decision. Maybe you feel truly torn between options. Procrastination isn’t, however, helping matters. You may lose out altogether if you don’t ‘pick a side’ soon. So, dedicate the first half of this week to researching, discussing and executing your preferred choice. Don’t overthink. You can always make a new choice if it proves to be wrong. Don’t worry. And then spend the second half of the week enjoying yourself and toasting your good judgement! I have a feeling you will do the right thing!
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: The Chariot
Meaning: If this week is all about enjoying yourself then The Chariot is a very apt card for you. It represents travel: journeys, outings, new vehicles, adventures, quests, holidays and major moves in home and/or location. You adore moving around, broadening your horizons, seeing new places and this card is a strong invitation to do so! The Chariot also represents purpose and aligning your place or home with what you want your life to be about. Are you in the right place? Would a move open up fresh options? Consider carefully. You could be focused on travel very soon, certainly by July.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 21)
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Three of Swords
Meaning: The route to contentment, peace and simply feeling happy in your own skin this week is to surgically remove the known thorns in your side. And you know what (or who) they are. The Three of Swords is permission to ghost, block and withdraw. Do what is necessary to distance yourself from toxicity, in all its guises. A toxic situation will change you long before you could change it. If you’ve been treated badly, lied to, betrayed, backstabbed, or cast aside… walk away. Give them the gift of your absolute absence. They deserve it.
Aquarius (January 22 – February 19)
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Page of Cups
Meaning: Your inner child knows that summer is on the way and is already awake with plenty of ideas for fun! Tune into your childhood memories, photos, music, friendships and hobbies this week with the wide-eyed, wholesome Page of Cups. Get creative with how you could reinvent and repurpose something from your past for your present. Nostalgia is a lovely feeling and sometimes a signal that something from long ago can still be meaningful and useful and rewarding for you in the here and now. Tune in.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Nine of Wands
Meaning: Pisces, deploy a simple trick this week. Do the hard work first. Get up early, be first to it, and get the bad chores, the worst tasks, the dreaded stuff, out of the way. This is how you’ll have fun this week. When you dread doing something, it infects your whole realm, your overall mood. Remove that fly from your ointment by resolving to do whatever it is that feels heavy or difficult way ahead of schedule. The Nine of Wands promises it will go a lot easier and quicker than you imagine, which will be a cause for celebration in and of itself.
