This week we have two key words to describe the coming energy: expand and reflect.
The New Moon in Sagittarius on the 12th expands our horizons and opens us up to new ideas. Trust your instincts (especially the desire for passionate adventure) that comes your way.
Additionally, Mercury in Capricorn goes into retrograde on the 13th – be ready to review and reflect on your old plans and goals (and tie up any loose ends you’ve left in those departments).
Astrologically speaking, that is the mood of the moment… but what about through the eyes of the Tarot?
Your sign’s weekly tarotscope for December 11 – 17, 2023
Ram
Queen of wands
Ram is in their element this week.
You have literally drawn the Queen of Wands, a fiery, headstrong card of leadership and abundant energetic reserves to draw upon.
This week you will embrace a more outgoing, leadership-oriented and independent version of yourself. This is a strong omen to express your opinions, have important conversations and pursue independent projects.
Which paths do you choose to walk?
Taurus
Queen of Cups
Emotional depth and maturity are what it’s all about Taurus straight away.
Thanks to the open-hearted presence of the Queen of Cups, you are currently here to tune into your emotions, intuition and spiritual realm in a very powerful way.
This is also a strong card for creativity, especially for any Taurus drawn to art.
Overall, it’s a good time to embrace a softer (but still very focused and committed) side of yourself.
Twin
Queen of Pentacles (reversed)
Twinit is difficult but not impossible to get grounded.
While the Queen of Pentacles is usually a welcome sight in the areas of career, abundance, and the house, reversing this card can leave you feeling completely out of sorts in the same areas.
You may desperately want to exert control here, but find it difficult to actually do so. Instead, your movements may feel clumsy or make mistakes more easily.
We all have “off” moments, Gemini. Don’t force yourself to have everything sorted out if there is no need for perfect order and clarity at the moment. Take a deep breath and let it pass patiently.
Cancer
3 cups (inverted)
Cancer may find problems arise in their social circles and connections with loved ones.
Whether it’s a close friend, a group of colleagues, colleagues, or even your family, we all have moments of disconnection and miscommunication.
With the 3 of Cups reversed, this is one of those times for you. This doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll experience outright conflict or major fights (more likely it will feel like a subtle dig, passive aggression, or awkward silence).
But be prepared to feel generally left out at this point, and don’t force a connection if it isn’t there. Like all funks, this too shall pass.
Lion
3 of wands
Lion has a variety of fun options to choose from… if you’re willing to play a little waiting game.
The 3 of Wands indicates that your metaphorical ships are returning to port. Some of your ideas have survived the landing, and there is still potential to stick when it comes to your future ventures and plans.
But not everything is coming to fruition with complete clarity yet – that is more the case at the moment feeling that something good is coming.
Trust that feeling and don’t do anything reckless to get ahead where it isn’t necessary.
Virgin
7 wands (reversed)
Virginthe saying “pick and choose your battles” couldn’t possibly be more relevant to your life right now.
The 7 of Wands is indeed a noble struggle, an independent pursuit of what you value, against all odds. You have put a lot of effort on this path.
However, the reversal of this card indicates that you are officially overexerting yourself.
This is not the time to play hero; it’s a time to know when you need rest and when you’re finally reaching your limits.
Scale
8 of wands
Scale, this week could go by as quickly as it started. Hold on tight!
The 8 of Wands indicates fast communication, fast events and fast opportunities. This week’s momentum is strong and powerful, so showing up with as much zest and passion for life as possible is important to match the energy of the moment.
While this is generally a positive omen, don’t get too frustrated if you’re having a hard time processing everything at once.
Process is not the purpose of this moment; instead, let yourself experience the ride as it comes first.
Scorpion
3 of Pentacles
Scorpionsuccess can be found in the hands of others this week.
By this we mean: know when to patch the flare. The 3 of Pentacles indicates that you can make great progress in work, career, skills, and finances if you show up as an enthusiastic team player to those around you.
Listen carefully to what others have to say and be receptive to contributing where you can.
The victories of others can just as easily translate into being your after all, wins in a roundabout domino effect. You never know where a good deed (or just a listening ear) will take you.
Archer
5 of Pentacles (reversed)
ArcherMaybe it’s time to move on…for good, now.
The reversed 5 of Pentacles shows some reluctance to move on from previous losses or failures.
You may feel like everything is crumbling before you, and it can be easy to dwell on everything that’s missing from your life (especially when it comes to finances and career goals).
While it’s important to feel what you need to feel, it’s also just as important to pick yourself up when you need to so you can move on to something new. You may be surprised by what awaits you on the other side.
Ibex
The tower
Ibex is confronted with a whirlwind of energy this week. Join!
The Tower is always… an interesting sight to say the least. When we see this card, we prepare for the worst: destruction, total chaos, and complete 180s from what we expected for our future. The truth is that The Tower is not always as obviously destructive as it first seems.
The point is that we can not be prepared for what is to come.
This week, The Tower could be an uncomfortable conversation, a radical idea that changes the way you view a value you hold, or, yes, a moment of weakness that brings you to your knees.
But no matter what, this card will always clear away the rubble that stagnation has created, making room for a clearer path to walk.
Aquarius
Ace of Wands (reverse)
Aquarius may not have much going for it right now, and that’s okay.
The reversed Ace of Wands indicates that you are probably desperately trying to pull new ideas from your hat, but are coming up short.
You may instead find yourself feeling incredibly burned out or even liking the ideas you like Are encounter… are not good at all. This can erode your confidence in getting anything done, which in itself can be a viscous energy that prevents even more progress.
This slump can be resolved with rest, patience, and self-forgiveness. Repeat some affirmations, take a few naps, and spend quality time with loved ones. This drug can do wonders for the creative mind.
Fishing
The magician
Fishingwhat magical ideas will you conjure up this week?
With The Magician at your help, it’s time for entrepreneurial ideas, embracing new opportunities and communicating what’s on your mind (through art or in conversations).
All in all, this is an extremely productive card that can help you get just about anything done.
Of course, it all starts with you and the wave of your wand – so where would you like to initiate the magic first?
