Weekly Tarotscopes by the Tarot Priestess (6th Dec - 12th Dec)

By Mahasweta Mazumder

Aries(March 21- April 20):

Reveal the truth. Share your true sentiments. You've been repressing your feelings and opinions, and they all need to be expressed. Take a deep breath and begin writing / texting / speaking your piece! The Ace of Swords indicates that there may be opposition, but it is nothing you can't manage, and this conversation is necessary. It's time to clear the air and move forward. It all starts with the truth.

Taurus(April 21- May 21):

The 9 of Swords can indicate nightmares, troubles, and despair, or it can represent similar challenges as a path to healing and growth. In any instance, it may not be a pleasant mental or emotional state to be in while it lasts... but the end is near. The presence of the 9 of Swords in a reading might indicate that self-criticism is contributing to a problem or negative scenario. Perhaps the individuals involved might help themselves by releasing negative ideas, particularly those directed at themselves individually.Take action to progress.

Gemini(May 22- June 21):

You don't go searching for battles, but you also don't shy away from them. People who have brought turmoil to your door are likely to regret it. The Five of Swords advises you to review your tactics for the current fight. Are you getting caught up in the drama, or are you trying to find a way out? If it's the former, you should change your mentality. If it's the latter, keep pushing out of this sticky situation. Nobody needs this kind of pressure.

Cancer(June 22- July 22):

Travel and adventure are one of your favourite things, which is fortunate because The Chariot brings you lots of both this week. It's a powerful card for movement, progress, a change of place, and everything to do with travel. Whether you're looking for a new car, planning a move, planning a big vacation, or catching up on places you've missed out on, this is the week to get started.

Leo (July 23- August 23):

This week, take a minute to reflect on how far you've come, how much you've accomplished, and how much you've developed as a person. You truly have faced and conquered some major difficulties. The Four of Wands is a card of joy. It allows you to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Make a note of it, since this card indicates to the universe that you are ready for the next level. The rewards are on their way!

Virgo (August 24- September 22):

Temptation may manifest itself in a variety of ways. We think of cheating and affairs, but there are other ways to betray someone's trust or waste their time. Consider what temptations are catching your attention right now. The Lovers card suggests a battle between your intellect and heart, or a diversion from something you are (supposedly) dedicated to. Is this a warning sign? Is it only a passing phase? Make a decision and follow through.

Libra (September 23- October 23):

Everything you've worked so hard on, or been tested by, appears to be turning around and coming up trumps this week. All of your hard work will be rewarded handsomely! The Four of Wands indicates that one's efforts have been noticed and acknowledged, and that rewards will come. You're on the rise, and who knows where it will take you. This card denotes changes in location and broadening horizons.

Scorpio (October 24- November 22):

The Sun is the most optimistic card in the tarot, bringing joy, wealth, love, and success. It's as if you're standing on the verge of a better life, and the key to unlocking it is confidence (which you have). Summon your courage and go through it, make a daring leap, and take a chance. You are so close to achieving happiness and reaping benefits. You have this week to make it happen. Be daring!

Sagittarius (November 23- December 21):

The Four of Cups Tarot Card might represent missed chances, guilt, or overall regret. It might also refer to being completely involved in oneself as a result of despair, cynicism, or indifference. The Four of Cups might represent boredom or disillusionment with your life, a fixation on the negative, or the belief that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. It's possible that you've lost your sense of purpose and motivation in life. When this card emerges in your reading, it comes with a warning to be wary of the options or deals you have on the table.

Capricorn( December 22- January 20):

The Death Tarot card is one of the most dreaded in the tarot deck, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. People are afraid to take its name, but they are more afraid of the card's power. The  Death tarot card represents a lot of promise. It denotes the end of one period of life and the beginning of another important part of life. You must close one door and open another.  The energy should be put to good use by starting something new. Another interpretation of this card is that you are going through a huge life-changing transition. Your previous personality must die, and you must revive freshness and new ideas in your approach.

Aquarius(January 21-February 18):

You must be in a situation where you are unable to sleep due to a troubled mind and demanding emotions. You must be too worried about the issue due to the neglect, pressure, and worry linked with your concerns, which no longer accurately mimics what is happening around it. The more you associate with your worries, the more they may come to dominate your life.

Pisces(February 19- March 20):

Patience, courage, determination, control, internal peace, and balancing oneself by defeating our primitive nature are all represented by strength. Strength emphasises the importance of mind over matter (mental and spiritual strength), and that compassion and understanding may be better than hasty decisions and brute strength. This card teaches us to understand ourselves and to balance our primitive instincts with our more divine, spiritual nature.
