10 of Wands, Reverse
Aries, you cannot raise hell if you are carrying everything on your shoulders. It’s time to lessen your load. There is a chance you are already honoring this lesson, but if you are still being a classic Aries (stubborn, all-consuming, always ready to wage war), it’s time to take a chill pill. I don’t know what awaits you once you slow things down, but I promise you that this chill pill will help you reverse the damage of burnout. As the saying goes, “Check yourself before you wreck yourself.”

9 of Wands, Reverse
Taurus, your reading is similar to Aries’ reading this week. You’re headed towards Burn Out City, but you have the power within yourself to pause and turn around. Is there something you are currently obsessing over that is causing you to work overtime? Sometimes we place ourselves at the center of a labyrinth without considering whether or not that should have been our destination in the first place. Reorient yourself as needed.

8 of Pentacles, Reverse
Gemini, are you having fun right now? It looks like you are currently feeling a bit bogged down. Perhaps you have overcommitted yourself to work, or you have to make up for lost time. Whatever the case, I want to encourage you to slow down and take a breather. This card reminds us that perfectionism often leads us to self-sabotage. Be kind to yourself. Focus more on the journey than the destination.
-
Ace of Pentacles, Reverse
Get ready, Cancer babe. You may have felt like you missed some big opportunities lately, or like you’re off your A-game. However, I get a feeling that your luck may be changing shortly. Stay open. While it may feel easy to stay in a pessimistic slump, you never know what may come your way if you were to have a more optimistic approach. Trust that you will be divinely blessed when the time is right.
-
Justice, Reverse
Wow, Leo! The Justice card has visited you with some serious and stern energy. Have you been waiting for vengeance?--or, at the very least, for some clarity and answers? It’s time for you to finally catch your breath. I think the clock is finally ticking again, and you will finally get some deliverance. Here’s the irony: sometimes, we get to the end of the journey, and it may feel underwhelming (even if you get what you want). I want you to remember to take care of yourself regardless of how things pan out. Remember that healing is not the same thing as visible justice; healing is an inside job.

7 of Pentacles
Well, well, well, Virgo. You’re in classic measuring and analyzing mode. What are you currently weighing and observing? Remember to look up from your current obsession and to breathe here and there. Also, remember that staring at a pot of water makes it take twice as long to boil. My advice for you is simple this month: be patient. Let things happen organically.
-
Knight of Wands, Reverse
Libra, your ruling planet is Venus, which explains your knack for aesthetics and glamor. That said, sometimes this can cause you to worry more about how you are being perceived than what you are actually experiencing. I want to encourage you to let things get messy, un-pretty and unpredictable. As the great philosopher Natasha Bedingfield put it, “Live your life with arms wide open / Today is where your book begins / The rest is still unwritten.”
-
King of Swords, Reverse
Scorpio, it sucks to always be ahead of the crowd. Are you feeling stuck or lost because you’re waiting for people to finally catch up to speed?--or because you have abandoned a flock of sheep that can’t understand where you’re coming from? I know it may feel painful, but I want to remind you to trust yourself even if it feels like no one else understands where you are coming from. I have a sense that justice is on your side, and that you will be vindicated. Keep your integrity and stay the course.

4 of Swords
Sweet Sagittarius, I know this may not be ideal, but the 4 of Swords typically signals a season of rest and surrender. Your fiery spirit is most likely going to want to fight this, but it looks like it’d be in your best interest to tap out and rest. Trust that others can tap in while you tap out. Promise me that you won’t dream up a thousand war plans while you rest. You need to find an alternative to mental or physical labor as your favorite form of self-soothing.
-
2 of Pentacles, Reverse
Cap, looks like you’re feeling flustered or caught between a rock and a hard place. This card is typically interpreted as a forewarning about priorities; it asks us to review what we choose to put at the top of our list. Sometimes, when we’re feeling stuck, we forget to think about what we should do once we become un-stuck. I want you to think strategically about both phases: 1) getting unstuck and 2) what direction you will go in once you get un-stuck. Thinking strategically will help you more than simply thinking tactically.
-
Queen of Swords, Reverse
Aquarius, your reading is twinning with Scorpio’s. Usually, people appreciate your sharp wit and tongue. However, you may have found yourself in a situation where people have misinterpreted and misunderstood your good tidings. You may feel at the margin, but that is where Aquarius thrives most. Invest in yourself if humanity has turned its back on you. That may sound counterintuitive, but I advise you to do this because humanity’s maturity lags far behind you. Don’t wait for children to grow up to learn how to water your roots when you are the Water Bearer.
As a footnote, the sword symbolism of this card represents communication. The upside down (reverse) position of this card comes with a compassionate warning for your highest good: there is no point in speaking to ears that refuse to listen and see value in what you have to say.
-
The Emperor, Reverse
Pisces, this is a complicated read. Have you been feeling angry or heated recently? Have you been feeling like you have had to be too quiet or held back in some way? If so, it is time to switch things up. Lean into the energy of the Emperor card, which asks us to be active participants and leaders in a situation, adding structure, vision and momentum. On the other hand, if you have done too much of this, it is time to step back and allow others to do their share. Sometimes, we forget how long our shadow is when we have held leadership positions for too long.
