The transition between the energy of one month and the next is not always the most exciting bridge to cross.
January 2024 will be over in the blink of an eye. One month of the new year is gone and tucked away. What happened to all the time to start those new goals, set those strong intentions, and take up all those new hobbies?
The good news is that the month is not quite over yet and there is still plenty of time to start the new year strong. However, with a Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio on February 2, there’s no way around it – it’s time to think about which cycles you’re closing and where there’s room for new ones.
At this crucial checkpoint we checked in at the Tarot to see what’s in store for you this week.
Your sign’s weekly tarotscope for January 29 – February 4, 2024
Ram
The Wizard (reverse)
Ram is on break this week… whether you like it or not.
Usually, the courageous and brave Aries is not a fan of slowing down for no reason. But The Magician Reversed assures you that this is not ‘without reason’. In fact, you’ve been needing a break for a while now.
This card warns of the dangers of burning out too quickly, pursuing too much at once, and ultimately hitting a creative wall.
Take a few deep breaths. Pause. And schedule some time to rest and rejuvenate this week, Aries.
Taurus
7 of cups
Taurus may have come to their Tarotscope for wisdom and answers, but even the cards can’t make the decisions in your life for You.
The 7 of Cups indicates that a decision has been weighing heavily on your mind lately, or you’re generally feeling intuitively scattered and emotionally tense… or both.
The key with this card is to know that… life doesn’t always have a ‘right answer’. You can worry about the ‘right’ choice until the end of time, but life isn’t waiting for you on the other side.
In other words, sometimes it’s much better to go ahead and get it ‘wrong’ than to wait for an answer that may never come.
Twin
The sun (inverted)
TwinOf course, it can’t always be sunshine and rainbows.
The reversed Sun dampens the good vibes you may have been trying to cultivate, casting a shadow on your sense of self and identity.
It will be harder to gain self-confidence this week, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it to pick yourself up off the ground and still do your best.
You may feel more disconnected from yourself than usual, but this too will pass.
Cancer
8 of cups (inverted)
Cancerit is important, even if it is not easy, to go in the direction your heart really desires.
The 8 of Cups reversed indicates that Cancers may have difficulty moving forward (especially emotionally).
Your heart longs for something new, but you find it difficult to simply move on from the past (or perhaps even from some current relationships and commitments that have been holding you back).
The right thing isn’t always easy.
Lion
The High Priestess
The intuition calls for Lion. Ready to pick up?
With the High Priestess at your side, it is time to focus on your spirituality and intuition.
Right now, the answers and plans for the future must be rooted in what you know deep within yourself – not necessarily the logical answers or the things that look good on paper.
In short, your intuitive abilities are currently heightened, but you must still be willing to listen to those instincts.
Virgin
3 of wands
Virginthis is your sign that you are on the right track.
You tend to prepare yourself well for success, but Virgos also tend to fixate on what could go wrong first (which also makes you excellent and very thorough planners).
Rest assured, with the 3 wands on the table, all you have to do is be patient and confident in what you have already done.
For now, stay the course and trust your intentions and will.
Scale
Wheel of Fortune (reversed)
Scale has trouble keeping the faith, and we can’t exactly blame you for that.
The reversed Wheel of Fortune confirms that life has not been going the way you want lately. This week will likely continue to feature series after series of unfortunate accidents and mistakes, seemingly for no reason.
It’s sometimes hard to find the lesson or reasoning in all the chaos, but in the end, sometimes it really is a gift for ‘future you’ to unravel later.
Take care of yourself for now, be patient and forgiving with yourself, and trust the process as much as possible, Libra.
Scorpion
8 wands (inverted)
ScorpionLet’s take our foot off the gas for now.
The 8 of Wands reversed warns that this week may be full of mismatched pacing and communication.
Sometimes you may feel tempted to say something loud and proud (and impulsively). Other times it can seem like everything is happening too slowly (or not at all) for me to want to contribute anything at all.
The key to success for this week is to breathe deeply, pause, and reevaluate before making impulsive decisions. Let the world catch up with you before you start running.
Archer
Judgement
This week, Archer has the power of judgment on their side, which is no feat to be trifled with.
You are currently well positioned for strong decision-making, communication and leadership positions. However, that doesn’t mean you should go out of your way to take what isn’t yours.
This card is also about knowing how you fit into the larger collective puzzle, being aware of your impact, and being concerned about how others lean on you.
In other words, use the power, Sagittarius, but do it wisely and with compassion.
Ibex
King of Swords
Capricorn’s clarity of thought and communication can be a great asset this week.
Capricorn is more of a ‘puppet master’ behind the strings than a charismatic performer taking center stage, but you’ll have to be prepared to speak up this week if necessary.
The King of Swords illuminates your ideas, plans and intellectual abilities. You have a lot to say, a lot to contribute, and a lot of ideas about how to keep things running smoothly from here on out.

Aquarius
6 of Pentacles
Aquariusthis week can be beneficial for everyone as long as you plan this well.
The 6 of Pentacles shines a spotlight on your resources and how you distribute them to others. Although you may be called to be generous with your time and energy, you must be careful about what you give and to whom.
At the end of the day, you are only one person and you don’t have infinite resources to offer.
This week is about the question: “What do I need to give to myself in order to give to others in the right way?”
Fishing
The Tower (inverted)
Fishing has been playing very defensively lately and just trying to get things together.
The Inverted Tower sympathetically acknowledges the chaos you have circumvented, but also reminds you that there is a difference between to avoid disaster and to ignore essential change.
There may be room in your life for a little cleansing and cleansing of the old, which isn’t always nice, but can be extremely necessary.
Refresh, recalibrate and restart
Now that you’ve finished catching up on the Tarot, take a few deep breaths. Relaxed. How does it feel to know what insight and guidance the age-old craft wanted to share with you?
Do you feel comfortable, or are you perhaps more excited to get started? Do you feel unprepared, or perhaps as if your entire life has been preparing you for this moment?
Checking in with yourself in this way throughout the week can be a guiding and grounding light. The wisdom of the Tarot can help illuminate the path forward, but you must be willing to ground yourself enough to walk upon it steadily.
