Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Six of Wands

Meaning: If anyone enjoys high octane, dramatic events then it’s you, Aries, so the Six of Wands shows you’re going to have an absolute blast this Venus in Leo season.

Whatever goes off in your love life will be for your benefit and turn out well. In fact, you’ve got a bit of a ‘midas touch’ right now so use it to get what (or who…) you want.

Be bold, ask them out, propose, show an interest, stir the pot.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Eight of Wands

Meaning: Everybody’s talking at you. There are dangerous liaisons, secrets, gossip and intrigue flying here, there, and everywhere, and somehow you’re in the midst of all of it.

This Venus in Leo season is going to be red-hot, and you’re never going to be off your phone, keeping up with it all.

Use what you know to your benefit, Taurus. Not in a malicious way, but in a practical way. Knowledge is power.

The Eight of Wands will bring you plenty to go on.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Ten of Coins

Meaning: Should I buy a hat, Gemini? I ask because the Ten of Coins has engagement, marriage, family and happy-ever-after written all over it!

You are moving into a secure and stable phase of your love life story, and ‘the one’ is either already here or just in sight (if in sight, then look out for an Earth sign – Virgo, Taurus or Capricorn).

Enjoy the bliss.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Knight of Swords

Meaning: Drama all round, although your love life is often the source and epicentre of drama so this is not really new.

The Knight of Swords sees you having a row, encountering a power struggle, having to stand up for yourself. Maybe even really going out on a limb to prove to someone you do want them, and making a bold leap to profess your admiration.

Grand gestures, extravagant scenes, OTT action, and a lot of drama going on. You’ll love it!

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Knight of Coins

Meaning: If you’re single, look out for a perplexing and defensive Earth sign (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn) who, despite all of your best outfits and most lavish charm offensives, doesn’t seem interested (are they even human?).

Play it cool, Leo. When you back off, they’ll notice, and the tables will turn.

Same thinking applies if your other half is being coy or guarded or secretive. Give them space, go off and do your own thing, and they’ll soon be wondering where you are, and come looking.

You do like to be chased (a bit).

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Sun

Meaning: Blissful love life vibes for you Virgo this Venus in Leo season.

The Sun is the tarot’s most positive card, promising love, joy, success and excitement ahead.

It’s also a wonderful ‘summer romance’ omen, so ensure you’re open to offer on holiday this year. Cupid has plans for you. A Leo might come your way.

If you’re happily attached, expect a proposal or grand gesture which confirms they’re ‘the one’ for you.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Death

Meaning: You are going to go through something of a transformation this Venus in Leo. An awakening. An epiphany about who you are, what you want, who you desire, how things ought to be.

And you’re not backing down from this either, you want change and you’re prepared to make it happen.

Action is needed. New behaviour = new results. Be the change you want to see. Your love life can be a totally different beast within 4 weeks!

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Six of Swords

Meaning: Scorpio, you are ready to move on. The Six of Swords is a departure card, time to say goodbye, move ahead, close a chapter. You are ready and this has been brewing a while so it won’t feel sad.

It might not be your actual relationship, it could be an aspect of it, or an outside relationship/situation/action that has pressurised it.

If you’re single, look out for newly single Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)- they’re ready for you.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Five of Wands

Meaning: You are feeling at odds with your romantic interest/s, somehow frustrated and irritated but maybe not for any clear or good reason. Still, the mood persists.

Sag, look at this inwardly. Reflect on the triggers for your bad mood, look at your behaviour, think about the feelings underneath it.

You are being given clear signals that something isn’t right, and you can fix it with action and change. Get to the bottom of this love life squall!

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Eight of Swords

Meaning: Cap, you’re a great partner – loyal, stoic, domesticated, strong.

Sometimes, though, you can be a bit rigid or dogmatic (your way or the highway) and you don’t even realise it.

The Eight of Swords asks you to ask for feedback from your other half (or pals, if you’re single) about what you’re like in love… and notice the things that might chime with this dogmatic theme.

You are open to change and, in doing so, you can hugely improve your fun, happiness and connection with others in love.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: King of Wands

Meaning: You want your love life to feel more adventurous (that is your nature) so put some effort into making it feel like that.

Time to go on some mega exciting dates, try new places, let them take charge and surprise you, organise a trip, book a journey to a secret destination, experiment in the bedroom, take a class together.

Bring in new energy to your relationship, or dates, and feel it renew and revitalize your spirit.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Nine of Coins

Meaning: You are a very thoughtful person and you always look ahead, think about how you can make things better, improve your situation.

You are applying this consideration to your love life right now. Looking at what you can amplify and build on, what you can remove or withdraw from, and what you can tweak or adjust.

Make a list and set to. The Nine of Coins promises that your efforts will be rewarded this Venus in Leo season!
