This week marks the Full Moon and the last full week of May, the final full month of spring before summer begins. There is a strong sense of completion, full circle, and fulfillment in the air. What are you ready to round up, finish off, and draw to a close? Make a plan and set to it, ensuring each day includes something that unhooks you from what you wish to release. The process of ending is important. Deliver clarity and consistency to whoever needs it. Tick every box for closure. Then celebrate, raise a toast, and let go of a situation in the full knowledge that nature abhors a vacuum and will bring new options to replace whatever was released. This is the natural life cycle rhythm. But what are you drawing to a close this week? Let the tarot cards guide you.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Tarot card for Aries this week: The Emperor. Meaning: Something in your realm that was infused with forcefulness is now softening, and you can let go of the iron grip you held over it. This might be an ambition, a standoff, an uneasy relationship, or a bubbling situation. Step back a little. Simmer down. Let things be as they naturally are without your force, watchful gaze, or control. You can trust this more now, you can let it be as it is, and you can relinquish your role as guard, watchman, or boss. And that, trust me, will bring blessed relief and liberation. You can divert to other things happily and in good spirit — your shift is done.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Tarot card for Taurus this week: The Fool. Meaning: The beginning is over! The fresh start, new endeavor, or era you embarked on earlier this year is now becoming the new normal, and there is comfort in that. Mark the new phase by accepting this newness is now a part of your daily life and how things are. Maybe you can look at your habits or routine a little closer, think about what is most sustainable, easy, and efficient given this is the new status quo. Maybe even think about how you could help or advise others going through what you have, or what you have learned about your capabilities and nature from going through this process. Reflect, consolidate, and celebrate the end of the beginning!
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Tarot card for Gemini this week: Strength. Meaning: There is courage needed to face hard endings well, with dignity, grace, and patience. Something has been winding down, and maybe continues to, in your life, for a long time — maybe a source of work, a poorly relative or friend, an ambition you can see no future in. It is hard to accept, but no amount of wishful thinking can make things different. When you cannot change the circumstances, you have to change your attitude and outlook around them. Get your mind right. You have a busier mind than most, so this process has been both fast and slow: you process things quickly mentally, but slower emotionally. Your heart has felt heavy. This week, you will turn a corner here, you will feel more at peace with things, and even start to see silver linings, glimmers of new hope, or a better way ahead. The dark before the dawn is nearly over, my friend.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Tarot card for Cancer this week: Queen of Coins. Meaning: There is a practical project, role, or task (that you have been largely in charge of) that needs attention. Something is no longer feasible and needs booting off the agenda, so that something more urgent, important, and deliverable can enter into the fray. You are the boss, so to speak, so you get to call this out, persuade whoever has a vested interest, and get balls rolling generally. Doing so will make you feel good; this has been bugging you for a while, it just has not sat right, and you have known decisions were needed. So get to it because if not you, then who? Be the boss you were made to be — you are a cardinal sign, born to lead.
Leo (July 24 – August 23)
Tarot card for Leo this week: Nine of Wands. Meaning: A struggle you have been tussling with for at least a couple of months is going to wrap up nicely, better than you could have hoped. So stick to it, Leo, and get this over the line. One last push and the Universe will match your exertion and bring about circumstances that magically enable a good ending to the drama. You have worked hard here, tried when no one else really did, and put the work in. When this is done, make sure you celebrate, make sure you recognize your sterling efforts, and make sure the people with power know about it! A job well done. Rewards are due.
Virgo (August 24 – September 23)
Tarot card for Virgo this week: Ten of Coins. Meaning: Something that has been a very long-term fixture, like a piece of furniture in your realm, is coming to the end of its natural life cycle. This has given you great rewards over the years, but the well is dry and it is time to find a new source of reward. This could be related to health, wealth, work, or home. It is not a sad end, as such, and not a shock. You have noted the need to reboot this area of your life for a while, been looking at options, researching possible ways ahead. And that will all come together this week, allowing you to bid farewell to your old friend happily, knowing you are moving onto the next page.
Libra (September 24 – October 23)
Tarot card for Libra this week: Three of Wands. Meaning: Closure for you this week is found with the Three of Wands. A surprise ending is coming your way — a good one. Do not worry, this is something you have longed to see the back of: a toxic boss maybe, a frenemy making waves, a bad neighbor, a task on your to-do list that you dread. Do not overthink it and do not go looking for it, but keep a side-eye out for unusual movements because this will all happen fast and unexpectedly. Seize the moment when it arises and do not hesitate to back the idea of whatever it is moving along elsewhere. Be positive and steadfast, do not shapeshift or hedge your bets. You wanted rid of this, and now this is your chance.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Tarot card for Scorpio this week: Knight of Wands. Meaning: Something that has been exciting but also chaotic, thrilling but maybe a little too risky, fun but frivolous, will draw to a close, its energy spent. It was much like a shooting star — full of vigor and sparkle as it arose, but then exploding into vapor and disappearing. Do not try and chase it. Let it go. Make this a happy memory, a funny story, an interesting interlude, and one that was never meant to stay the course in your life. Our life stories are, if we are lucky, full of such strange people, events, and places. Enjoy it while it lasted, and then let it go with a big smile.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Tarot card for Sagittarius this week: Six of Swords. Meaning: A powerful, meaningful, and much-welcomed ending is going to come about in the next seven days and you could not be happier. This has been a long time coming. It could be as seamless as a change of heart or opinion, or as major as a toxic role or relationship. You have been hoping for this turn of events for at least six months, and the even better news is that it will all go so smoothly. Everyone is ready, everyone has already done their teeth-gnashing and grieving and shouting. What remains is a universal desire for closure. And that will be delivered now. Thank god.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 21)
Tarot card for Capricorn this week: Knight of Coins. Meaning: Time to take a break. Close the laptop, put the out-of-office on, take a day or so off, wind down the phone calls, cancel the meetings. Closure is needed on a phase of very hard work that has been draining, although also rewarding. You need to reset, recharge, and rejuvenate, and that cannot be done on the job. Come away from the furnace, seek a cool running stream, and lie down beside it — mentally and physically. You are the hardest worker in the zodiac and you need regular chill zones to keep that infamous energy sustained. You cannot pour from an empty jug!
Aquarius (January 22 – February 19)
Tarot card for Aquarius this week: Seven of Cups. Meaning: Whatever has been on your mind now needs to manifest in real life. Stop thinking and start doing. Write down your plans, schedule them wisely, seek support, and set off into the execution phase. If you linger too long in daydreaming, then nothing will get done and the momentum, and appetite, will fizzle. Kick-start your wild ideas! You can do this, you can make it happen, but the imagination phase is over with, so push yourself into action whether you feel ready or not. Time is ticking!
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
Tarot card for Pisces this week: Three of Swords. Meaning: Hallelujah, it is time to clear house. Purge the realm of the backstabbers, frenemies, mean girls, bullies, and sly foxes who seek to unsettle and undermine you. Block, side-step, avoid, withdraw. You are the kindest soul in the zodiac and, sadly, often attract vultures and vampires who feed on you and use you. Notice who this applies to. Notice their actions and how they make you feel in their presence. Then act accordingly. Seek to protect yourself. Draw their reign to an end. Boundaries are important; they are vital to your wellbeing. Establish them and hold them.
