As 2025 draws to a dramatic close, the week from December 29 to January 4 promises to be a significant one, marked by a New Year, a new month, and a potent Full Moon in Cancer. According to seasoned tarot reader Kerry King, this celestial combination means we should brace ourselves to "feel all kinds of ways."

Your Star Sign's Tarot Card and Meaning
Here is what the cards reveal for each zodiac sign for this pivotal week, based on Kerry King's interpretations.
Aries (March 21 - April 20): Your card is the Page of Coins. This week, embrace being a student of life. View everything as a work in progress and a learning curve, releasing any pressure for perfection. Observe yourself and others with kindness, and consider picking up a new book or podcast to learn something useful.
Taurus (April 21 - May 21): You have drawn the Page of Swords. In this liminal week, resist the urge to commit. Go with your own flow, keep options open, and see what unexpected and interesting outcomes arise from this unusually flexible approach.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21): Your card is the Four of Cups. Stop pressuring yourself to create grand New Year's resolutions. Practice active gratitude for the wealth you already possess in your home, work, and relationships. Your focus should be on the here and now.
Cancer (June 22 - July 23): The Eight of Wands appears for you. Ground yourself by connecting with others. Socialise, network, and share news. A crucial opportunity for 2026 may be activated solely through the input of another person, so seek out conversations.
Leo (July 24 - August 23): You have the Eight of Cups. Let go of 2025's disappointments. The new year is set to over-deliver in replacing what was lost. New growth will appear quickly, so toast 2026 with a full glass of optimism.
Virgo (August 24 - September 23): Your card is the powerful Tower. Stay grounded and circumspect, as the year may end with a revealing bang. Listen well, avoid knee-jerk reactions, and use any new truths that emerge to make informed choices, ultimately freeing you from lingering tension.
Libra (September 24 - October 23): The Wheel of Fortune spins for you. Chaotic and exciting unseen forces are at play. Prioritise what truly matters and be open to shifting positions. Make one big, deliberate change yourself to unlock new chemistry.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22): You are gifted the Strength card. Your inner fortitude shines. Use the year's turn to acknowledge and celebrate all you have overcome and achieved in 2025, reinforcing your own powerful narrative.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21): The Queen of Coins guides you. Use this week as a 'magic hour' to catch up, plan, and streamline your life. Tackle neglected chores to enter 2026 feeling completely in control and on top of your game.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 21): Your card is Death, symbolising powerful transformation. Embrace change by ruthlessly shedding the old, outdated, or unhealthy. Use New Year as the perfect excuse for a major clear-out.
Aquarius (January 22 - February 19): The Nine of Wands appears. Resist the urge to delay tasks until 'next year.' The gods are on your side, so tackle postponed issues now to make astonishing progress and earn your celebration.
Pisces (February 20 - March 20): You have the Seven of Coins. There is no rush. Let the current carry you, rest, and relax. Gently observe the shifts happening around you, allowing ideas for 2026 to evolve naturally without force.
