Are you ready to get down to business? Mercury enters Taurus on the 15th, grounding our thoughts and communication down to Earth.
The Moon will also spend a few days in Virgo (the 15th – 18th) this week, equally supporting our connection to a more practical, serious, and Earthy way of doing things.
In other words, this week has the potential to be a highly productive one if you’re willing to approach the mind and heart with a pragmatic touch. But before you solidify any major plans, let’s see what the Tarot has to say for your particular zodiac sign first!
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for May 13 – 19, 2024
Aries
The Star
Aries is catching a break with The Star, shining some light on their week ahead!
This healing, potent energy makes this week powerful for tuning into spiritual practices, emotional healing, and thoughtful self-reflection.
As a result, this week is ideal for creating the fresh starts and new beginnings you have wanted for a while.
How will you utilize this soothing, prosperous energy to your advantage?
Taurus
The High Priestess
Taurus, it’s time to tune in with that inner wisdom.
The High Priestess connects you more strongly with your intuition, unconscious wisdom, and the realm of your dreams.
This is a powerful week for spiritual practices, intuiting answers and solutions, and conducting divination for yourself.
Take some time to intentionally connect with this energy so that you can make the most of its unseen potency!
Gemini
Ace of Swords (Reversed)
Gemini, now is not the time for sudden action.
Although the Ace of Swords reversed can make you feel like it’s necessary to jump into high gear and seize the moment, this impulsiveness is likely to lead to haphazard decision-making and questionable choices at best.
In other words, it’s important not to force what isn’t there.
If there isn’t an open door in front of you already, charging ahead through a barrier won’t help you get through — it’ll just leave you bruised and exhausted.
Cancer
5 of Swords (Reversed)
Cancer is putting the drama and conflict behind them this week.
The 5 of Swords can indicate that trouble is afoot, especially socially; gossip, disruptions, and people with ill intentions may be stirring up unnecessary competition and discomfort.
However, the reversal of this card indicates that you’re doing your best to put up boundaries and not feed into the chaos.
This is an honorable attempt, but don’t forget: it’s important to stand up for yourself where it’s necessary, Cancer.
Leo
3 of Wands (Reversed)
Although Leo had the expansive 3 of Wands on your side last week, it comes through in an entirely different context this week.
For some Leos, you may feel burnt out from all the hubbub, now low on energy and needing rest.
For others, you may have felt influxes of inspiration last week, but the energy tank is now pattering out, and you’ve hit creative walls.
Either way, this week is a time for rejuvenation, hitting the brakes, and putting plans that you may have initiated last week on pause (just for now).
Virgo
4 of Wands (Reversed)
Virgo wants to connect with others but is hitting roadblocks this week.
The 4 of Wands reversed forces you to seriously examine what brings you joy and fulfillment within your friendships and relationships.
You may feel more disconnected right now from others than usual, dissatisfied with the state of your connections, and overall more alone even when surrounded by people you care about.
It’s time to identify who and what genuinely brings you joy… and where you may just be getting drained.
Libra
2 of Swords
Libra may be stuck at a crossroads this week, forced to make decisions now about what’s next.
The 2 of Swords shows you reflecting upon your options but overall feeling indecisive about what the “right” move is for you.
Your mind is likely to feel cloudy and uncertain this week, and communicating with others can feel tiring and more draining.
This time of confusion may be taxing, but the reflection and thoughtfulness you employ right now will be fruitful in the long term.
Scorpio
10 of Wands
Scorpio is carrying a heavy load right now.
With the 10 of Wands on your plate, you may have bitten off more than you can chew, Scorpio.
This week seems more stressful than usual; all the responsibilities and deadlines are suddenly piling up all at once, and others are still relying on you for support.
Remember that it’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help.
Sagittarius
8 of Wands (Reversed)
Sagittarius received the momentum of the 8 of Wands last week, but it’s not showing up in the same light this week.
Instead, this card of rapid progress and communication is now reversed, indicating sudden stagnancy and slowness.
For some Sagittarians, you may just feel like there’s an uncomfortable lag in everything you’re trying to do. For others, you may need to take some intentional rest time in order to push through this.
Life has its own ebbs and flows; we can’t be on top of the rollercoaster all of the time, after all.
Capricorn
King of Swords (Reversed)
Capricorn, now is not the time to come down with an iron fist.
In other words — the King of Swords reversed hints that you may want to speak up and take the lead (especially when things aren’t going very well in group settings), but the odds of miscommunication are high.
Instead, be patient, calm, and thoughtful about your decisions and conversations.
Sometimes, the best way to influence a situation is by doing so from behind the curtains — subtly, energetically, and at the core of everything.
Aquarius
Knight of Wands (Reversed)
Aquarius, charging in and at full speed won’t get you anywhere this week.
The Knight of Wands reversed warns against moving impulsively. Your energy may feel more scattered this week, at times being very “on” and other times feeling extremely depleted.
As a result, being intentional and mindful of this is key. Just because you feel a rush of excitement and momentum in one moment doesn’t mean you should use it up right away.
Pisces
Queen of Wands
Pisces continues its trend of Queen cards this week with the exciting, charismatic Queen of Wands.
You’re embracing a confident, outgoing side to yourself this week and showing up with all your light and authenticity.
This is a great week for expressing yourself loudly and proudly and also for any Pisces who intend to travel or try something spontaneous right now.
