Look, the tarot cards this week — May 26 – June 1 —are loud, and they aren’t just here to whisper sweet nothings. They’re calling you out, lifting you up, and maybe dragging you a little (in a loving way). Every zodiac sign’s got something to face, whether it’s a fresh start or a long-overdue reality check. Ready to get real with yourself? Let’s see what the universe is here to tell you this week.
Aries (March 21–April 19) – Tarot: The Devil

Aries, let’s be real—something’s got its hooks in you this week, and it’s time to look it straight in the face. The Devil tarot card isn’t about spooky vibes or cosmic punishment—it’s about the habits, temptations, or dynamics you know aren’t great for you but keep going back to anyway. This is that messy situationship, the job that’s draining your soul, the coping mechanism you keep pretending is “just stress.”
But here’s the deal: you’re not trapped. You’re choosing to stay in a loop that no longer serves you, and the Tarot is here to throw a little tough love your way. Ask yourself—what are you afraid will happen if you let it go? What’s the story you’re telling yourself about why you need this thing? Because nine times out of ten, it’s not power holding you back—it’s fear dressed up as comfort.
This week isn’t about guilt—it’s about freedom. Break the spell. Name what’s got you feeling small or stuck, and take even one step toward shaking it off. You’ve got the fire for this, Aries. Use it to burn through the illusion that you can’t change. You’re not a puppet. Cut the strings.
Taurus (April 20–May 20) – Tarot: Ace of Wands
Taurus, this week has spark written all over it. The Ace of Wands is a big “yes” from the universe—a creative surge, a bold idea, or that gut feeling telling you to just go for it. Whether it’s a personal project, a new connection, or a shift you’ve been mulling over, the energy is fresh, fiery, and full of promise.
But here’s where it gets real: you’ve got to act on it. Don’t sit around waiting for the “perfect moment” or obsessing over whether it’ll work out. The Ace is raw potential, but it needs your hands to shape it. You don’t need all the answers—you just need to say yes and start moving. Even a baby step counts.
So what’s calling your name? What’s lighting that fire in your chest? Trust it. Follow it. You’ve been craving change, and now it’s knocking. Open the door, even if you’re a little nervous. Magic doesn’t wait forever. Take the first step, and the path will show up under your feet.
Gemini (May 21–June 20) – Tarot: King of Pentacles
Gemini, this week wants you grounded, not scattered. The King of Pentacles is all about long-term moves, real stability, and owning your worth. That means showing up with intention, taking care of your money, your space, your energy, and not letting yourself spiral into a million distractions just because you’re “bored.”
You’re clever, Gemini—we all know that—but this tarot card is pushing you to focus on what actually lasts. Are you building something real, or just spinning your wheels? Whether it’s your career, your finances, or your personal life, this is your moment to level up from “winging it” to “running it.” Stability isn’t boring—it’s powerful. And honestly? You could use a little more of it right now.
So plant your feet and get clear. Make the call. Organize the thing. Set the boundary. This isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about playing it smart. You’ve got the vision. Now build the foundation strong enough to carry it.
Cancer (June 21–July 22) – Tarot: Two of Swords
Cancer, you’re stuck—and not in a cute “just weighing my options” kind of way. The Two of Swords is that moment where you’ve been avoiding a decision for so long, it’s starting to hurt. You might be pretending things are fine, going through the motions, hoping something shifts on its own. But deep down? You know you can’t keep sidestepping this forever.
The hard part isn’t the choice—it’s the fear of what happens after you make it. Maybe you don’t want to hurt someone. Maybe you’re scared to lose something that feels familiar, even if it’s not right anymore. That’s real. But sitting in limbo is its own kind of pain, and honestly, it’s exhausting. You deserve more than a life that’s just “tolerable.”
This week, stop waiting for the perfect moment. It’s not coming. Trust yourself enough to choose, even if it’s messy, even if it’s hard. You already know what your heart’s been whispering. You just have to be brave enough to listen—and act.
Leo (July 23–August 22) – Tarot: Temperance
Leo, it’s time to chill—seriously. Temperance is your reminder that balance isn’t a buzzword; it’s a survival skill. You’ve been swinging hard in one direction lately—maybe throwing yourself into work, a relationship, a goal, or even just some drama for the sake of feeling something. This tarot card is asking: What would it look like if you slowed down and actually gave yourself room to breathe?
And no, this isn’t about dimming your shine. You’re still the main character, but even main characters need to rest between scenes. Temperance is about finding your center, not forcing extremes. What’s the middle ground you’ve been avoiding? Where could a little patience actually take you further than another all-nighter or fiery rant?
This week, try soft over sharp. Choose the quiet win. Blend instead of bulldozing. You’re not losing your edge—you’re learning how to hold it with grace. Trust that the peace you’re building now will make your next glow-up that much brighter.
Virgo (August 23–September 22) – Tarot: Knight of Cups
Virgo, don’t fight it—you’ve got feelings this week. The Knight of Cups is riding into your life with heart-forward energy, and for once, your job isn’t to dissect it. It’s to feel it. Whether it’s romance, creativity, or some kind of emotional clarity, something sweet and unexpected is trying to break through that mental noise of yours.
But here’s the challenge: don’t talk yourself out of it. Not everything needs to make sense on paper. You don’t need a five-point plan to fall in love, say yes to a passion project, or admit that something matters to you. This tarot card is pure emotion, and your only job is to stop editing yourself long enough to hear what your heart’s actually saying.
So lean in. Be open. Text first. Write the poem. Tell someone how you feel, even if your voice shakes. Not everything has to be perfect to be real—and this week, real is more than enough.
Libra (September 23–October 22) – Tarot: The Hermit
Libra, your social butterfly wings might be tired—and it’s okay to fold them for a bit. The Hermit is calling you inward this week, asking you to get quiet, slow down, and reconnect with what’s actually going on inside. You don’t have to disappear off the grid, but you do need some honest alone time—not just scrolling alone, but intentional alone.
You’ve been holding space for a lot of people, Libra. But have you held space for yourself? When was the last time you made a decision without checking how everyone else might feel first? This tarot card isn’t about isolation—it’s about clarity. Sometimes the only way to hear your own voice is to step away from the noise.
This week, treat your solitude like sacred space. Journal. Go on a solo walk. Let the group chat miss you. You’ve got your own answers—you just need space to remember them. And when you come back to the world? You’ll be stronger, steadier, and way more in tune.
Scorpio (October 23–November 21) – Tarot: The Hierophant
Scorpio, this week is asking you to stop doing it all alone. The Hierophant isn’t about rules or rigidity—it’s about guidance, wisdom, and learning from what’s already been built. Maybe it’s a mentor, a belief system, a routine you’ve let slip… whatever it is, something tried-and-true could actually help you right now, even if you usually roll your eyes at structure.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you hit a wall. This tarot card shows up when it’s time to connect with something bigger than just your own instincts. That might mean reaching out to someone you trust, returning to a practice that grounds you, or even just letting yourself be teachable for once. Yeah, you’re strong—but strength doesn’t mean always figuring it out alone.
So what’s calling you back this week? What’s worth listening to, even if part of you wants to resist it? Don’t worry—you’re not becoming predictable. You’re just remembering that even the most powerful signs need a little support sometimes. Let something or someone steady you. You’ll still be in control, just less burnt out doing it.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) – Tarot: Page of Swords
Sagittarius, your curiosity is off the charts this week. The Page of Swords is that restless, wide-eyed energy that wants to know everything,say everything, and try everything—all at once. You’re asking questions, digging for answers, and maybe even picking up on things people didn’t mean to say out loud. It’s giving a detective with a dash of chaos.
But here’s the thing: don’t let that sharp brain run ahead of your heart. Not every answer needs to be chased down, and not every thought needs to be said out loud right now. You’ve got insight—no doubt—but the real challenge is knowing what to say, when to say it, and why it matters. This isn’t about being right—it’s about being wise.
So keep learning, keep questioning, but slow down enough to actually absorb what you’re finding. You’re onto something big, but it needs a little more patience and a lot more listening. Curiosity is your gift. Don’t rush it.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19) – Tarot: Knight of Cups
Capricorn, something’s stirring in your emotional world this week—yes, yours. The Knight of Cups is riding in with romantic, dreamy, sometimes messy energy, and it’s asking you to step out of “logic mode” for a second. This isn’t about spreadsheets and five-year plans. This is about what you feel.
Maybe someone’s getting under your skin (in a good way), or maybe you’re the one catching feels and not quite knowing what to do with them. Either way, this week’s asking you to soften—just a little. You don’t have to confess your soul or write poetry under the moon, but you do need to stop pretending you’re unaffected. Vulnerability isn’t weakness. It’s real strength.
Let yourself lean into the moment. Say something kind. Open up, even if it’s awkward. This isn’t about losing control—it’s about showing up with your heart, not just your head. You’ve got room for both.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18) – Tarot: Eight of Wands
Aquarius, things are finally picking up speed. The Eight of Wands is pure forward motion—texts coming in, decisions getting made, doors swinging open faster than you expected. If you’ve been stuck in a holding pattern, consider it over. The universe just hit “go,” and you’re off to the races.
But here’s the real talk: momentum is only useful if you know where you’re going. Don’t just ride the wave because it’s moving—check in with yourself. Is this what you actually want? Are you moving toward something meaningful, or just trying to stay busy? The energy is electric, but it’s your job to direct it.
So buckle up. Answer the message. Say yes to the opportunity. Just make sure it’s aligned, not reactive. This is your green light—but you still get to steer.
Pisces (February 19–March 20) – Tarot: The Fool

Pisces, it’s time to leap—even if you don’t know where you’ll land. The Fool is your reminder that sometimes the most powerful move you can make is just starting. No plan, no backup strategy—just a little faith and a lot of heart. If you’ve been dreaming of something new, this is your cosmic permission slip.
But don’t wait for confidence. That comes after the leap, not before. Right now, all you need is a spark—an idea, a chance, a feeling that won’t leave you alone. Say yes. Make the move. The Fool doesn’t care if it’s messy or imperfect. The point is to try.
This week, bet on yourself—even if it feels scary, even if people don’t “get it” yet. Your soul is craving something fresh. So pack light, trust the vibe, and jump. The unknown is where your magic lives.
Wrap-Up: What the Tarot Cards Are Saying This Week
This week’s tarot isn’t subtle—it’s about momentum, emotion, and making moves with intention. Some signs are being pushed to take the leap (Pisces, Sagittarius), while others are being asked to slow down, check in, and recalibrate (Leo, Libra).
Whether you’re chasing a new beginning or finally facing a decision you’ve been avoiding, the message is the same: trust yourself. Not the noise, not the fear—you. The tarot cards aren’t here to give you the answers. They’re here to remind you that you already have them. Now the question is: are you ready to listen?
