Tarotscopes for the Week of January 9, 2017

For many, this is a week of addressing the thoughts and patterns within yourselves that prevent you from healing or that are self-sabotaging. There is a lot of learning and healing to be had. 

Aries (March 21-April 19): This week is all about self-care for you. You are being challenged to open your heart to love, commitment, intimacy, and trust. It can feel like the universe is asking a lot from you but at the same time, you probably aren’t fulfilled living in a cocoon of fear and doubt. And overall, fear and doubt aren’t really your style. It’s time to gain some emotional balance. One of the best things to do is practice self-care and self-compassion. And it’s time to affirm and believe that you do deserve all the amazing things you desire and that you can handle it when they arrive on the scene. 

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Relationships, creative projects and collaborations, and commitments are highlighted for you this week. You are learning all about reciprocity by allowing yourself to receive as well as give. You’ll find that working together, asking for help, and diving in to commitment will give you a whole new sense of stability. 

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Kick the negative self-talk to the curb this week. You don’t need to be paralyzed by fear and worry, most of which is invented by your own imagination and is sabotaging you. When you focus on the negative you can’t see all the positive and potential and opportunities that are waiting for you if you would just take a minute and look up from that fear. Reinforce the thoughts and beliefs that are positive and you will see blessings unfold for you. 

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Don’t spend your time rehashing past sorrows. This week, focus on what is good in your life and what warms your heart. You have to stop licking your wounds if you want them to heal. Even if you experience conflict this week, the only way out is through, and the only way to move on from is to let go. There is no transformation without pain. But the butterfly doesn’t spend all her time remembering what it was like to be a caterpillar. She’s too busy flying. 

Leo (July 23-August 22): Up, up and away! On to new perspectives, new ideas, and on the road to manifesting your goals and dreams. Don’t forget to listen to your intuition as you move forward, as it is your best ally. And don’t forget to contemplate the details, as that is where success lies. 

Virgo (August 23-September 22): Focus on fanning the flames of what you are passionate about this week, and deal with any wet blanket people with diplomacy. Their attitude is a reflection of them, not you. This week is all about stoking your creative fire to add balance and harmony in your life. Be bold! 

Libra (September 23-October 22): This week is all about correcting imbalances and implementing structure and discipline in your life. You are a natural leader, a natural diplomat, and it is time to address and correct the areas of your life where you feel unfairly burdened. It’s time to let people know where they need to pick up the slack so that you aren’t holding the world on your shoulders. In partnerships, it never comes down to just one person. Address this before burnout sets in. 

Scorpio (October 23-November 21): You may experience a total shakeup this week as reality catapults you from the hill of illusion and delusion. You have all that you need to be empowered to live well in reality, and to build a sounder foundation to live on. See the opportunity in the conflict this week and look for the positive. 
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): You need community, you need your friends and loved ones. Don’t let yourself become too isolated this week under the excuse of work or study. Reach out and give yourself a break from your laundry list of things to do.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Resist the urge to jump to conclusions about what anyone thinks, feels, or means. Clarify by asking questions. If you feel like you are stuck in a cycle of victimization and difficulty, look for where you need to take responsibility. Look for where you abdicated your power to choose. Ask yourself what transformation have you been resisting. Listen to the call of your spirit and heed its message.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18): This week would be well-spent addressing your relationships and the level of fun present in your life. Do things that infuse your life with joy, do things just for the fun of it. Take time to nurture your relationships and to pay attention to those closest to you. By giving these relationships the time and attention they need, you ensure that they are solid.

Pisces (February 19-March 20): This week is all about how you can create harmony in your life. What changes do you need to make to alleviate stress and bring more balance? You may need to address unresolved inner conflicts this week but it will be worth it as the end result is a happier, more fulfilled existence. Practice patience and compassion with yourself and others as well.
