Aries(March 21- April 20):

The Ten of Pentacles is a legacy card. It signifies an investment in long-term assets. It is also a family and traditional card. When you see the Ten of Pentacles, it asks if you are trying to leave the world a better place than you found it. This might involve caring for future generations, developing a talent that has a global influence, or becoming a representation of humanity's greatest qualities. This card also prompts you to consider your progress toward your greater goals. The things you're creating will live on long after you're gone. It may be a book, a company, a masterpiece, an art form, or even a piece of real estate. Perhaps your life's mission is just to be the greatest version of yourself and to share compassion and love in a world that desperately needs it right now.

Taurus(April 21- May 21):

The Six of Cups is a card that brings you to happy times in your youth, adolescence, or early adulthood.

He recognises that by distancing himself from the mundane routines of daily life, he may obtain a greater understanding of who he truly is. A bold and free spirit. When was the last time you broke your routine and ventured outside of your house or workplace? Travel broadens one's horizons.

Pisces(February 19- March 20):

Don't let fear get the better of you! The Moon suggests that lingering hang-ups from a former experience may surface this week, filling you with memories you'd rather forget. This might be something you tried to bury in your subconscious in the hope that it will resolve itself over time. Instead of striving to ignore the problem, choose to bring it to light and heal yourself. It may be difficult at first, but remember that the load you've been carrying has also caused you harm over time.
