A Tarot Reader Predicts What Each Zodiac Should Expect Before December 19

Aries

Your card: Justice

Everything has its consequences, both good and bad. You’re really going to be feeling that this week. Maybe there’s something you’ve been getting away with lately, and now your good luck is over. Or maybe all the good karma you’ve been spreading will bounce onto you and you’ll have a great week. Either way, it’s up to you and your own behavior.

Taurus

Your card: The Empress

Your natural feminine energy is what’s guiding you this week. If you listen to and embrace it, you’ll be surrounded by abundance. I know that’s vague, so here’s a concrete way to say it: Go for what you want and don’t apologize for it, but definitely lift up the people around you who you love while you’re on your way to the top.

Gemini

Your card: 7 of Pentacles

You’re going to struggle a bit because the thing you’ve been working toward for so long still hasn’t come to fruition. Don’t let this quiet progress make you feel like you’ve stalled or that you’ll never reach your goal. Sometimes you just have to keep your head down and continue working hard. (Boring, but necessary.)

Cancer

Your card: 8 of Wands

When something doesn’t go your way, you sometimes feel like the world is against you. This week, try not to wallow in the feeling that your fate is out of your hands. You have way more control than you realize, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. You aren’t as powerless as you think.

Leo

Your card: The Lovers

You can take this card one of two ways. In a very literal sense, it could mean that meaningful love will find you this week. It could also mean more about harmony–two forces working together to create something beautiful. Either way, it’s going to be a good week for you, Leo, if you make the right choices and embrace your relationships.

Virgo

Your card: The Hanged One

You’re going to get a new perspective on something this week, whether you seek it out or not. And with new perspectives, you often come away with the desire to either hide or make a change. Take a moment to reflect on how you feel. Luckily, you’re not the type to make any rash decisions, so you’ll have a head start on a chaos-free week.

Libra

Your card: The Emperor

While you sometimes lead with emotion, that’ll only cause problems this week. Establish structure and exhibit the authority that you have deep down. For instance, if you have something big coming up at work, show as much confidence in your own abilities as possible rather than downplaying them for the sake of humility.

Scorpio

Your card: 2 of Pentacles

Your list of things to do is about the length of a well-plotted novel. It’s going to feel like everything is coming at you all at once and you’ll have the urge to cancel every obligation and hermit yourself under a pile of blankets. Rather than giving up entirely, choose the couple of things that are most important and focus on those. You can worry about everything else next week.

Sagittarius

Your card: Queen of Swords

Something’s going to happen this week that’ll require you to be firm and clear about your boundaries. Considering the season, there’s a good chance it’s your family doing the overstepping. It can be difficult to have to keep enforcing your boundaries, but it’s the healthiest thing you can do. You just have to be direct.

Capricorn

Your card: The World

Look at you, achieving goals and making things happen. This card is all about culminations and conclusions. Endings can be bittersweet, but it’s so much better than stagnation. There’s also a chance this card is literal for you: You’ll be traveling. Maybe a trip to see your family for the holidays? Either way, this week you’ll feel fulfilled and content.

Aquarius

Your card: The Chariot

The Chariot moves you from one place to another. While some weeks feel like the same thing over and over (thanks, routine), this week won’t feel as much like the status quo. Perhaps all that determination is finally paying off. The hobby that you seem to soak all your time into could be getting the recognition that it deserves. Good for you, Aquarius!

Pisces

Your card: Ace of Wands

You’re feeling inspired this week. All your creative juices are flowing, and it’d be a shame if you ignored it. Instead, use your free time to create things. Paint, draw, build a sculpture out of items from your recycling bin. As you know, this kind of inspiration doesn’t always hit, so embrace it while you can.
