Cosmically, we are in Capricorn season and heading towards a New Moon.
But, really, this week is all about Christmas isn’t it?
Even if it’s not something you celebrate, you can’t help but be swept up in the atmosphere and celebrations.
So… let’s ask the tarot to give each of us a gift, a blessing, or a new idea. Let’s have the cards play Santa for us!
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Five of Coins
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is the Five of Coins – the wonderful feeling of being truly understood and empathised with about something you felt isolated or alone with.
Talk about your feelings, Aries, share them. Don’t let this week’s false expectations (most of us do not feel merry and brigh) make you bite your tongue. Say how you feel and you will be amazed how others open up too, how they validate your emotions and opinions, how they ‘get’ just how you’re feeling. It will be healing and cathartic.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Three of Coins
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is the Three of Coins – you have great admirers who are going to make their feelings known to you this week in the form of compliments! This might be romantic (look for Earth signs if so – Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn) or via work/a professional role.
This admiration is genuine and based on working with or knowing you for a while, they like how you conduct yourself and the energy you bring. Who knows where this respect and goodwill might lead…

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Temperance
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is Temperance – the sense of peace, harmony, and grounding that you’ve been seeking for a while. Life has been chaotic in 2024, lots of change, new circumstances not all of your making, and you’ve had to adjust. It has left you feeling destabilised at times (and you’re a good adjustor, too).
This week, you think ‘right, this is it’ and suddenly your emotions catch up with your mind and it all comes together to help you feel settled and at peace with the way things are. Better yet, ready to start making changes of your own!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Queen of Swords
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is the Queen of Swords – a stimulating and exciting idea for a project, role, or goal that you can activate in 2025. It’s something mentally challenging (possibly education based), inspiring, conducted solo and fully within your control, and for your own benefit.
This might be career, creative, or personal development based. This might also be a long-term or medium-term project, possibly starting in February so you have time to research options and plan/save up. Invest in yourself, Cancer.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: The Hierophant
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is The Hierophant – finally you feel like you are designing, leading, and creating your own festive celebrations, customs and traditions.
You are the one who sets the mood, provides ideas, and gets to decide what’s happening and it’s energising and liberating. You love parties and celebrations, you’re a natural leader, and you revel in building closer bonds with those you love and like. Be Santa for your family and friends! That red suit has your name on it now!

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Moon
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is The Moon – the gift of revelatory information about an event or unanswered question that has long foxed you. Your Mercury ruler always makes you hungry for intel, but this data is quite emotive and speaks to your heart as much as your head.
It helps you find peace and acceptance about something, maybe not feel guilty or sad anymore, maybe validates your actions or opinions. Whatever it is, it provides clarity and that is a very welcome gift.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Two of Coins
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is the Two of Coins – which suggests you will be inundated with a plethora and abundances of gifts, invitations, good vibes, welcomes, and new faces. It’s all happening, Libra!
This card is about abundance and saying yes to whatever comes your way. Open the door and welcome in the festive energy. You will be surprised and delighted by how much magical opportunity and new options come your way this week. Perhaps it’s good karma for being a good Libra in 2024!

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Eight of Wands
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is the Eight of Wands – the magic of being in demand, desired, enquired about, influenced by, and offered new opportunities and invitations. You will find yourself swept into a social whirl that perfectly suits you.
New news and interesting insights flow, marvellous openings lie ahead, places you want to go are available, and people you want to meet show up. Everything feels like it’s coming together and you’re pleased and happy with all of the interactions you have. Enjoy!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: The Hanged Man
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is The Hanged Man – an eye-opening new insight into an old situation that has long bothered you. Maybe the festive season is the perfect time to mentally revisit old blockages and obstacles since you’re ever so slightly outside of ‘ordinary reality’, and therefore more open-minded and receptive to weird opinions or ideas.
Taking a totally new approach will unlock the progress you’ve long desired, and it’s this week that this bright idea finally emerges!

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: The High Priestess
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is The High Priestess – the gift of foresight, prediction, and psychic ability! Get those tarot or oracle cards out, gaze into a crystal ball or even a mirror or glass of water, read your palm, automatic write whatever comes into your mind, lucid dream.
The gifts of divination are with you, and you just need to work out how to best access them. It might even be as simple as an early night with classical music playing as you daydream, or a walk in the woods. Receive your insights, be inspired.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: The Tower
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is The Tower – a final release and end of something you’ve long wished were in the rear-view mirror. You don’t have to drag this dead weight into 2025! Hooray!
Now the manner in which it finally collapses might be a shock or even a bit sad but brush past that and focus on the end game, focus on rebuilding and re-emerging from the dust, because you will now have a clean slate to work with. The Universe is clearing your path ahead, don’t get in the way.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Ten of Wands
Meaning: Your Christmas gift this week is the Ten of Wands – peace, quiet, deep rest, rejuvenation. You have had a busy year, a demanding schedule, a testing time… and maybe felt fatigued or stressed, like you’ve not much in the tank.
This week, though busy, will be restorative and rewarding and you will get more time and space to yourself than you think. Go to bed early, sleep in, relax, wallow in indulgent pleasures, be restful and quiet. You need this time out. You are deserving of deep rest and relaxation, so take it!
