Feeling the flow of 2023 yet? If not, no fear — we’ve got the details you need to make this week smooth sailing.
Astrologically, you’ll want to make note of Mars in Gemini ending its retrograde and going direct on the 12th, putting an end to what may have been one of a more… chaotic series of months.
Plus, the Last Quarter Moon in Libra happening on the 14th will be reigning in more energy of peace and diplomacy, something we all could use as we continue closing out less-than-desirable chapters we may have experienced.
So, there’s your astrology briefing — but what about the Tarot? Up next, we’ll see what the cards have to say!
Your Sign’s Tarotscope for January 9 – 15, 2023
Aries
The Chariot (Reversed)
Aries faced off against the Queen of Wands reversed last week, indicating hiccups with confidence and productivity.
This week, The Chariot reversed still puts a damper on many of your forward-thinking goals. Some of you may feel unmotivated or just run into roadblocks when trying to advance.
A little rest never hurt anyone, not even the brave and bold ram.
Take the sign from the Universe — it’s time to slow down and smell the roses. Not every week can be a winner in terms of snagging the trophy.
Taurus
Page of Cups (Reversed)
Taurus, your imagination is a beautiful thing, but overthinking is not.
The Page of Cups reversed indicates your mind, heart, imagination, and intuition may be stumbling this week, and not necessarily because you’re ignoring it all.
More likely, your desire for creativity and expressing your imaginative whimsy is getting a little overactive and is hard to channel into concrete action right now.
Slow down, and remember that a journal is always an open ear — let yourself find an outlet before literally letting it all out into the world.
Gemini
Ace of Cups
Gemini, love is in the air for you this week!
The Ace of Cups is a positive omen for conversation, affection, and all-around romantic times. Sweetness and compassion take center stage.
If romance isn’t a priority, it’s still a good sign for folks trying to find resolution, happiness, or comforting presence even with friends… or even themselves!
Remember that this energy is only an opportunity — you still have to seize it and accept it to make the most of it!
Cancer
Ace of Pentacles (Reversed)
Cancer, you may find that this week isn’t the most exciting or productive off the bat.
The Ace of Pentacles reversed points to frustrations and setbacks when finding new opportunities and open doors, especially regarding finances, work, and career.
However, this doesn’t mean that you should throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. This week may not be full of ripe fruit ready for picking, but it can still be fun, productive, and restful if you’re willing to make the most of it in other ways.
Just because it’s hard to plant new seeds right now doesn’t mean you can’t smell the existing flowers!
Leo
Knight of Pentacles (Reversed)
Leo may be resisting moving steadily and slowly, and hey — work isn’t always so fun or exciting, so we don’t blame you.
Nonetheless, there’s a time and a place for an energy like the Knight of Pentacles, a card that can sometimes embrace humdrum routines and responsibilities.
And its reversal points to your difficulty with it, but “difficult” doesn’t mean impossible.
While this week may not be all fireworks and rainbows, your future self will thank you for checking a few items off of the to-do list instead of procrastinating.
Virgo
4 of Wands
Virgo has a sweet, supportive energy on the table this week in the form of the 4 of Wands.
You may be known for your reliability as a workhorse and provider for others in times of need, but this week you’re invited to lean on your own support systems.
And it’s not even just about getting help, but rejoicing a bit in your relationships, having a good time, and not feeling the need to “get something done.”
This week can be more about celebration and enjoying others’ presence — so just be receptive to enjoying yourself!
Libra
Strength (Reversed)
Libra, this week may be a harder one… but the remedy is more straightforward than it seems.
Strength reversed indicates that you do not believe in yourself as you likely should be.
Self-doubt and confusion are clouding your judgment and ability to persevere through things you can overcome. It’s easier said than done to just “believe in yourself,” but this is the answer to finding your way again.
Sometimes you are your own harshest critic. The Universe isn’t against you, Libra — so you shouldn’t be against you either!
Scorpio
King of Pentacles (Reversed)
Scorpio, it may be tempting to do it all on your own, but the cards are asking that you step away for a minute.
More specifically, the King of Pentacles reversed indicates that you may be getting caught up in your own standards and ideals for what material success, career advancements, and stability should all look like.
In reality, abundance is a complicated topic, and you’re not meant to have it all figured out on your own.
And remember: there’s no shame in asking for help. Sometimes it’s the right thing to do.
Sagittarius
8 of Cups (Reversed)
Sagittarius is heading into this week feeling a bit disoriented.
The 8 of Cups reversed highlights that you may have difficulty listening to your own heart and intuition.
Whether it’s because the expectations of others or society are weighing you down, or it’s just difficult to sift through so many options, we all end up here sometimes, and that’s okay.
However, you must remember that you are the only person who can make the call about what’s right for you. It’s okay to feel confused, but don’t let the confusion dictate your final calls.
Capricorn
6 of Pentacles (Reversed)
Capricorn, you may feel obligated to give away your time, energy, and resources to others.
And while that may be a feeling that comes from a good place, the 6 of Pentacles reversed warns against distributing your energy too soon.
Giving because it intuitively feels right is one thing, but doing so out of perceived obligation is a different scenario. The wise goat is a pillar of security for many people, but you don’t have to be that for everyone all the time.
This week, “no” might be a word to exercise a bit more sparingly.
Aquarius
The Lovers
Aquarius has a time of connection, lightheartedness, and multiple opportunities for choice up ahead.
The Lovers foretells that you may be able to take your pick from a variety of different options, ideas, and opportunities this week, especially when it comes to romance, relationships, and your connections with others.
This isn’t always as romantic and enticing as it initially seems, as it can also come with good time management, organization, and honesty surrounding your feelings.
However, approaching this week with that knowledge in mind can be productive and fun too!
Pisces
Justice (Reversed)
Pisces may not have everything figured out, but Justice reversed asks that you don’t try either.
It’s tempting to want to organize your time, thoughts, and ideas out in the “objectively” best way, especially at the start of a New Year.
However, Justice reversed indicates that you’re more likely to find hiccups and biases get in the way right now more than anything. The attempt is honorable, but the execution will likely be messy.
Slow down, and don’t make any final conclusions or decisions this week. Let yourself sit within the thinking and planning process a bit longer.
Your Tarotscope is In — Now What?
Every week, the cards are capable of helping you see the roadmap that lies in front of you.
