Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Christmas love tarot card for Taurus: Nine of Wands
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the Nine of Wands. This is someone who thinks you’re out of their league, too good for them, never going to look twice. They’re wrong!
They are attractive, smart, charismatic, energetic. Likely a Fire sign – Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. I think a subtle nod or smile to let them know you see them might prove to be the catalyst for them summoning the courage to talk to you. At last.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Christmas love tarot card for Gemini: King of Swords
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the King of Swords. An older, Air sign suitor – Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. This person is super smart and matches with your element in every way, they get you and they’re on your wavelength. You could talk for hours (your favourite thing anyway) but you’d better pause the chat for a sec if you’re to get that kiss!
They are wealthy, successful, worldly, and sophisticated. They could be in a senior position related to you somehow.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Christmas love tarot card for Cancer: Eight of Cups
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the Eight of Cups. Someone you once really really liked, but things between you just didn’t pan out fully for whatever reason. Well, things have changed, and now they’re back with the mistletoe. They realised what they missed out on.
They are trying to attract your attention right now and when you do notice, you’ll be swept straight back into that old loving feeling. Second time lucky.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Christmas love tarot card for Leo: Knight of Wands
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the Knight of Wands. It feels like this is literally someone you meet at a party (of course, because you are the zodiac’s party animal) and they are as attractive, exuberant, and fun as you are!
They are also probably also a fellow Fire sign – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius – and of a similar age. They are like your double, a romantic twin, a soul mate on every level. Together you can have a lot of fun and adventure.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Christmas love tarot card for Virgo: The Tower
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by The Tower.
So, this person is potentially an Aries, and potentially also someone you’re
thrown together with through a shared bad experience, mistake, delay or cancellation.
You do like a little moan, Virgo, and you turn to them to vent, and they share
your views, in fact they add some more pertinent and interesting ones and you like the cut of their jib! So much so, you agree to a drink and things go from there! Quite the story, eh!

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Christmas love tarot card for Libra: Six of Swords
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the Six of Swords. A fellow Air sign – Gemini, Libra or Aquarius – who is on the move in some way, maybe from their current relationship, maybe in terms of work or location.
So, look out for the newly single or people new in work or your local area. You perhaps also share an experience or history in terms of the more distant past, maybe your paths have already crossed. The Universe has conspired to cross them once more!

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Christmas love tarot card for Scorpio: Nine of Swords
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the Nine of Swords. This person is kind of scared of you! But also compelled and attracted and desperate to win your attention, and approval.
They are a little nervous by nature but also very intense and intuitive, which is your cup of tea. You like people with depth and this character is a real deep thinker and feeler – they just get strong social anxiety. You might need to look real friendly for them to make a move.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Christmas love tarot card for Sagittarius: Page of Wands
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the Page of Wands. A youthful, if not younger, suitor who feels like they’re totally on the same wavelength as you, likes everything you like, and just wants to be closer.
You might already be friends or loose acquaintances, but they have started to feel more deeply towards you. They are possibly a fellow Fire sign – Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. They are full of energy and vitality. A bright spark!

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Christmas love tarot card for Capricorn: The Chariot
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by The Chariot.
This card links to Cancer in the zodiac which is your opposite sign and
therefore a soul mate match, a total opposite in character but a great
compliment to your nature.
Some say that Capricorn is the ‘father’ of the zodiac and Cancer the ‘mother’. You meet on a journey, or outing, or trip, or holiday. Basically, you’re on the move travelling and your eyes meet. The rest is history…

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Christmas love tarot card for Aquarius: The Moon
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by The Moon. Potentially a Pisces although I hardly dare say anything as The Moon is the card of mystery, illusion, and secrets.
I think this person keeps their affection for you very, very down low, in fact it may never be revealed! Maybe they are not single, maybe neither are you! Maybe it won’t matter because love wants what it wants, no matter the surrounding circumstances. This hidden desire may burst into flames this Christmas.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Christmas love tarot card for Pisces: Four of Cups
Meaning: Your secret mistletoe-fantasy admirer is revealed by the Four of Cups. This is a person sat literally right under your nose! For some reason you have always overlooked them but their affection for you hasn’t waivered and they have carried a torch for a long, long time.
Maybe you think they’re unavailable, or out of reach, or you just don’t think of them ‘that way’. Well maybe something will happen this Christmas to change that because they are, for sure, a contender. They adore you and always have. The are very close by.
