This week is about exciting new beginnings for you. Ideas begin to spark, filling you with exhilaration and passion. You’re ready to try something different, and you have the motivation to move quickly. This is also a particularly lucky card, so don’t be afraid to jump in.
June
Your card: Six of Cups, reversed
This week, you might find yourself stuck in the past, unable to move on, even if everyone else already has. Your letting past situations have too much sway over your vision for the future, keeping you from the growth you want and deserve. This could be a good time to reconnect with your inner child and nurture them in the best way you can—maybe by doing that, you can find a way forward.
July
Your card: Six of Wands, reversed
You might feel a little defeated this week. You may be facing actual failure, or maybe just the feeling of it—whatever it is, you aren’t getting the recognition or the rewards you’ve been hoping for. This can be difficult for you to grapple with, but it’s important to remember that this actually does not reflect on your worth. Everyone fails at some point or another—it’s what you choose to do next that’s a real measure of your worth.
August
Your card: Two of Cups
The energy for you this week is about feeling emotionally fulfilled, and then sharing that feeling with others. It can be a sign of a fruitful partnership, in play and in work; most notably, this symbolizes love and commitment. This is a beautiful card to receive, so make the most of it.
September
Your card: Nine of Wands
This is a sign that you’re getting close to your end goal this week—but you’re not quite there. You might be feeling exhausted and burnt out, but this is a sign that you can’t give into those emotions right now. You can’t afford to lose momentum, not when you’re so close. Keep going!
October
Your card: Page of Wands
This week will be filled with energy, fresh ideas, and excitement for you. You’re ready for an adventure, and you’re not afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone right now. That being said, the thing about this card is that it’s more about energy than actual events—if you want something to come from this, you have to put in the thought and the action behind it.
November
Your card: Page of Cups, reversed
This week, you might feel more emotionally vulnerable than usual. You might be giving in to feelings of insecurity of self-consciousness, or you might even find yourself acting more immature than you’re used to—or dealing with people who can’t seem to act maturely. This can also show that you’re dealing with a creative block, unable to move forward with a project.
December

This week, you’re looking toward the future. You’re starting to get a better grasp on what you want going forward, giving you the ability to start planning your next steps.
