Winter Solstice: December 21st
Aries: Mar 21 – Apr 20
Aries! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Haha! My friends, yes the holidays are upon us, but make sure to keep that firey side in check! The Page of Swords reversed shows us a spiteful fool. He is a bit of a blubbering idiot. Although yes, his reasons for being upset are just, he’s so worked up that instead of making a concrete argument, he’s left stood there making a scene and looking like a moron. The holidays can be hard on all of us, but make sure you aren’t working yourself up, and left stood there on your soapbox, waving your swords, while your audience is mocking you.
Instead, this month might be better to have a gameplan or even a safe person. When you feel ready to lose your cool, follow through with your action plan. You are fierce Aries, but not every situation requires a reaction, no matter how justified it is. Remember some people are like talking to brick walls, and the only person left with upset is you. Protect yourself my little fire demons 😉.
Taurus: April 21- May 21
Finally, something to look forward to! This holiday season, we are seeing you, babies, letting going of the bounds and restrictions that hold you back. Maybe this is the year you finally decide that Aunt Eda can suck a big one, and who cares what she thinks. Or maybe better yet, you decide you’ve had enough of your family’s toxicity, and you won’t be seeing them. Either way, whatever bounds and restrictions that have been holding you back most, the Two of Swords, shows us that the problem is coming to a head and your finally ready to look for solutions that are healthiest for you.
Lay down your swords, and stop trying to fight a battle you cannot win. Instead, just do what is healthiest and happiest for you. You are the only person you have to live with for the rest of your life. Take care of yourself.
Gemini: May 22- June 21
Gemini babies you need to start setting boundaries and taking better care of yourself. Something is bothering or worrying you, but you don’t know what it is or why, or maybe you do! Either way, it haunts you like a nightmare you can’t escape from. The positive side is, it can be fixed.
The issue could be with a lover, family member, friend or colleague. Give the issue some consideration and then try and have an open conversation. Explain that you would like to talk things out. Whether it’s ghosting the person doing this to you, or addressing it head-on, you’ve got this. You don’t need to continue to suffer in silence.
Cancer: June 22- July 22
I love to see this, only because I myself am a Cancer and I’m selfish. Now that being said, our goals are achievable this month. Temperance is all about blending opposites to find harmony. That being said we need to check ourselves while moving forward to our goals this month. You may be seeking the truth and want to discover new awareness. Intuition and being in tune with the energy and vibrations of our situations are key. The truth is we may find ourselves in a situation that needs constant bits of work and adjustments to make it just right. You will need to take things in moderation and not go to the extremes.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither are your dreams. Remember, we are on track. That’s what matters. Either way, we finish the race, who cares if your first or third, the prizes are all equal.
Leo: July 23- August 23
Another sign, with swords. You poor babies. When the Six of Swords comes up in a reading it can indicate that sometimes the best way to end an emotional situation is to move away from it. Times may have been emotional and rough, but you are slowly finding your way out of a difficult situation. Remember that self-care comes in the form of boundaries so so many times. And it isn’t selfish, to say no. And the nice thing about the Six of Swords is that it doesn’t have to be forever. Just like a boat can float away from the shore, it can find its way back after its journey. It’s not permanent, it’s self-care.
The Six of Swords can indicate a catalyst for change. Embrace it.
Virgo: August 24- September 22
Virgos! Embrace those you love this December! Family happiness is a sure thing if you get the Ten of Cups. It can show us a future where we spend the coziest holiday season with our families, just really enjoying each other. You enjoy making meals together and they taste so good because they come from your heart. Taste the love Virgos. The Ten of Cups is the perfect description of family unity and happiness.
The Ten of Cups is the emotional contentment card. Find yourself lucky if you get this card. The Ten of Cups is also about family, extended family, and communities. You could be spending the summer with relatives at a summer home while enjoying the simple bliss of life. Tell me this isn’t a recipe for a perfect holiday season, you lucky duckies.
Libra: September 23- October 23
Okay Libras, you need to CHECK YOURSELF. The holidays can be hard for us, and that is valid and fair. But there is a difference between setting boundaries and isolating. You know it, I know it. You don’t need to put on a smile and pretend to be okay when you are not. But you do need to communicate your “not okayness” with those who love you without judgment. Remember to lean on our healthy relationships, when we’re in a bad patch. They love you, you aren’t a burden.
Don’t use the holidays as an excuse to suffer in silence, be isolated and lonely. Worst case scenario, find something to get you around people. The holidays are a perfect time to volunteer and get out there to help others. Use your upset, as a prop, to help others. You’ve got this!
Scorpio: October 24- November 22
Let those creative juices flow Scorpio. Every Scorpio I’ve ever known has been so creative and artistic. This month is no exception. The creative juices are flowing, and you’ve got a sort of “spark” that fire your whole creative flow this month. Ride the wave! This energy is the very foundation that supports the entire Wands suit. It is the condensed energy that is raw, pure and unadulterated.
This is the beginning stage of development. If you are looking for work in an art field, specifically, this card is speaking to you Scorpio. This is a great sign that your shit, is finally going to fall together. Just continue working hard, and allowing yourself to experiment creatively. You’ve got this!
Sagittarius: November 23- December 21
Patience, patience, patience. The Seven of Pentacles is all about patience, waiting and sometimes just walking away from something that isn’t working. It’s about being suspended and wondering why something that you’ve tended to for so long is not ready to harvest yet. Remember that the sweetest grapes, take the longest to grow. It’s worth it.
The Seven of Pentacles warns of disappointments, long waiting periods and proposals you want to mull over. Sometimes we really need to step back and look at things from a different perspective. Sometimes there is nothing more we can do. We have to take a step back. Just be patient, and try to not get yourself worked up because the universe isn’t working on the timeline you want. Get over it. Things will happen exactly as they should, you are the one who needs to slow down.
Capricorn: December 22- January 20
Oh lord, my little rooty angels. Sometimes things are a swing and a miss (see a baseball reference, I can be butch too.) When we see the Eight of Wands is reversed there is a delay in action. Things don’t seem to be coming, but should. Someone is holding back but really wants to message or contact you. There could be an unnatural feeling of things not running the way they should. There is a lack of accuracy.
The Eight of Wands Reversed can denote haste. You may have been careless with a project and not met your mark. Unlike its upright self, who is quick, but with precision, reversed is quick, but wild and aimless. Don’t be careless, we both know that’s not like you.
Aquarius: January 21- February 18
Listen up Aquarius, you need to check yourself. There is a fine line between standing up for yourself and “telling it like it is” versus being a dick. When reversed, the King of Swords turns into a tyrannical figure; somebody quick to judge and strong when it comes to punishment. Recently you may feel like others are rubbing you up the wrong way. Maybe they aren’t living up to your standards. You need to tone down how you communicate this. Remember that you can create boundaries, and tell people to shove off, without making your grandma cry.
Let others grow and learn their own way, you are not their mama. If you feel others are holding back then, by all means, try to do something on your own, but not to their detriment. Just as you are in control of your own actions, so are they.
Pisces: February 19- March 20
Hey Pisces, make sure this month we are living in reality and not in dreamland. Fantasy and dreams are amazing and always encouraged. But when it encroaches into your real life, and the fantasies begin to be stories you are telling, we’ve got a problem. It’s no longer a fantasy in your head, but instead a lie you are telling those around you. Check yourself.
Similarly, even if you aren’t weaving webs of lies, you may be not seeing things for how they truly are. In the night shadows can look like many things, and distort them to appear as something they are not. It is a reminder that you may not be seeing things as they really are. So you may not be the liar, but instead, are being lied to. Reflect and try to be as objective as you can this month. See everything for what it is, you’ve got this.
