Tarot Tuesday: Your Week According to Your Zodiac Sign – March 23, 2021

The Empress. This week, you are decisive, level-headed and confident in your choices. Allow yourself to be guided by your intuition, and don’t ruminate too long on the decisions you make. You have no time for overthinking and are liberated by your belief that what will be, will be. An especially powerful feminine influence also surrounds you this week, Aries. Spend some time around the strong female figures in your life. Investment in healthy relationships, open discourse and union with the people who make you feel content is your recipe for a good week.

3 of pentacles. You are feeling industrious and thrifty this week, Taurus. Save, don’t spend, work hard. You are able to remain self-disciplined and committed to the process, and are finding it easy to keep your eyes on the prize. If you are engaged in competition this week, don’t worry – you have the upper hand. Bending the rules is sometimes necessary to spawn innovation but pushing them to breaking point is not a good idea this week. Top tip: make a to-do list and stick to it. Ticking those boxes feels more rewarding than ever right now.

Knight of Pentacles (reversed). Developing your business acumen is a good use of your time this week. Your eye for lucrative opportunities coupled with a level of discernment that prevents you from taking foolish risks means investing in a new venture could be especially prosperous. Tune into your rational side and be assertive when collaborating with others – your ideas have merit. Just make sure you don’t become too entrenched in your own perspective. Stubbornness does not equal strength.

10 of Cups. This week, nurturing your self-esteem is essential. Try not to take others’ opinions of you too seriously. They can only ever see a part of you. Flattery and external validation will only provide you with short-term satisfaction, so chasing them is futile. True self-confidence is built slowly. Do more of the things that make you into a person you respect. Leave the rest – it is not meant for you. Remember: you are your own maker. Top tip: write a list of 10 things you like about yourself and recognise when you embody them in your day-to-day.

Judgement. Leo, you remain constantly shifting and moving on your path of self-development. Engaging with your introspective side is especially rewarding this week. You are open to constructive criticism and do not take being called out personally, acknowledging when your behaviour is problematic, openly. Accountability and responsibility are liberating qualities worth nurturing. Careful consideration and softening of the at times intense influence you have over others will enhance your relationships. Remember not to be too hard on yourself, however. Self-discovery is a process, and kindness is the key.

Wheel of Fortune (reversed). You don’t like when your plans are changed or disrupted. It would benefit you to embrace the possibility that sometimes things just go wrong. Practice acceptance alongside the necessary amount of caution. Try and engage your spontaneous side – next time you notice an impulse, follow it. You cannot account for every eventuality, and that is liberating in itself. Top tip: regular meditation will help you remain calm in the face of uncertainty. There is order in chaos.

Strength. Your strength is admirable, Libra, but it has not come out of nowhere. You may secretly feel that you are ready for something you’ve been wanting to try for a while – the days of second-guessing yourself are over. When you claim something for yourself and truly feel it is meant for you, negative voices bounce off your skin. Determination is not to be confused with stubbornness, however. Defiance in the face of adversity is often necessary when you’re going off the beaten path, but make sure you pay attention to the advice of those who have your best interests at heart. Feel free to ignore those who don’t.

Strength (reversed). You may be feeling dissatisfied. Don’t wait around for somebody else to solve your problems for you. The Mars and Saturn trine in action on Sunday the 21st means you enter this week against a backdrop of determination and initiative. Do not allow yourself to sink into a rut. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and make the most out of a situation. Put extra effort into upholding a positive mindset, even when it isn’t entirely comfortable.

9 of Swords. You are fiercely protective of your loved ones, a quality which you embody even more intensely this week. Remember to let people make their own mistakes. Practice patience and trust in those you care about – lecturing them may push them further away. This week, you find joy in being a grounding presence for those around you. You find it easy to approach the problems of others in a non-judgemental, supportive way, and they will notice. Remember not to neglect your own worries or isolate yourself if you are feeling anxious. There’s more than one way of looking at every situation.

4 of Cups (reversed). You bring a lightness into everything you do this week, Capricorn. Saying ‘yes’ is especially rewarding right now – you are finding it easy to take action without much hesitation. Accessing a carefree approach to the inconsequential means you bounce back from rejection easily. If there is a risk you have been too afraid to take, make a move. Let the onset of Aries season remind you that seeking new possibilities often means making clean breaks. You can handle anything with boldness right now. Top tip: remember not to neglect your basic needs. There is fine line between irresponsibility and spontaneity.

The Hierophant. Lending a helping hand is especially rewarding for you this week. Your protector instinct is awakened, meaning that you may be especially attuned to the struggles of people who are too afraid to ask for help. This is a good time to form new alliances and deepen your relationships by offering up your unconditional support. Just make sure you avoid coming across as self-righteous – it will only distract from your sincerity and honesty.

Knight of Cups. Patience is key this week, Pisces. The universe is working hard – Aries season’s energized, productive atmosphere means manifestation power is extra potent this week. Practicing patience and consistency is essential. Do not fixate or obsess over your goals, just trust that gifts are on their way, and coming quickly. A new opportunity is close by, so keep your eyes peeled and quietly prepare to receive it. Top tip: write down what you want to attract and then release it. The universe is always listening.
