Tarot Card Reading Horoscope for the Week of April 24, 2023

You don’t need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here’s what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces, plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let’s go!

A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: SIX OF PENTACLES

Be kind, be good, be generous. Be the kind of person others want to see coming their way. And if you have to fake it, then do, because this caring, positive vibe will grow, settle and become natural soon enough. The Six of Pentacles asks us all to be a little bit, well, nicer to each other this week. Make an effort. Pay compliments, offer support, listen, show up, share advice, and provide help. When you’re good to others, it makes you feel good, too. Plus, it stores up “good karma credit” in the cosmic bank. What more do you need? Just be kind.

ARIES: PAGE OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You have a reckless streak where you just think, “F*ck it,” and are then literally capable of anything. The Page of Wands sees you sailing close to those stormy shores this week, but you’re navigating deliberately and using this wild energy carefully. You want to be bold and brave and try something challenging. You need that wild side of yourself to throw caution to the wind and do this. You’re going to contain and harness that energy. Be bold!

TAURUS: EIGHT OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Networking is where it’s at, Taurus. The Eight of Wands urges you to log into your social media platforms, update your LinkedIn profile, and go through your old contact lists. Reach out to former classmates, colleagues, and mentors. Be noisy and visible! Something interesting will emerge from this, something you truly want.

GEMINI: FIVE OF PENTACLES

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

No one knows when you’re sad (except for a very small circle). You cover it up so well. You smile and joke your way through pain. Something from your past is stirring up sadness, regret, or even grief within you this week, Gemini, and you shouldn’t cover it up. Let it out. Release these heavy emotions and talk them out of your system. And then look ahead. Look at where you’re headed and what you’ve learned along the way. Your pain has shaped, and improved, your character.

CANCER: THE WORLD

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

The World is a game-changer. On the literal side, it indicates global aspirations, contacts, travel, and changes of location. Are you planning a move? If so, this is a great omen to get on with it. On the abstract side, it means an ending lies ahead, a necessary one that will unlock an important new chapter and journey. You are evolving. Something must die in order for something new to be born. Let this process flow. Don’t hold on to what’s fading. Be excited about the future. You’re moving into a powerful phase.

LEO: NINE OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Just get on with it. Stop making this out to be a bigger deal than it is. You’re only scaring yourself! The Nine of Wands is a down-to-earth reality check about a situation you’ve overblown. You’re dread this thing so much that you’re now avoiding it altogether instead of doing what needs to be done. Stop the paralysis and take action. The Nine of Wands reassures you that you CAN handle this, and actually, it’ll be pretty easy. It will all be out of the way in a day or so if you tackle it head-on.

VIRGO: THE HANGED MAN

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Hmm, you’ve thought yourself into a corner and now you’re stuck. Virgo, guess what? It’s time to change your mind, your outlook, and your perspective. The Hanged Man reveals that you’re in limbo because you’re not looking at things in the right way. You’re plugged into a different reality to everyone else. So, it’s down to you to make a sacrifice, take on a new perspective, and change your mind. I know you hate this. Don’t think of it as being wrong. It’s merely an adjustment.

LIBRA: STRENGTH

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Stand up for your corner of the world this week, Libra. You’ve got what others need right now. Your unique blend of objectivity, analytical prowess, and self-confidence can shed light on a complex situation and show the right way forward. This is you taking charge, setting an example, and leading the way. Strength reveals this is a character-building week. You can prove something to yourself and others. Go for it. Be strong. Be a leader.

SCORPIO: TEN OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Take a break, Scorpio, and then reassess. Step back from the action, withdraw from the drama, and put down your weapons. The Ten of Wands sees that you are fighting hard and it is draining, wearying, and demoralizing. You’ve had enough of it. So…stop. It’s down to you. Step back, rest, and look at this situation again. You don’t have to win this war. You can quit, make peace, and move on. What will you do?

SAGITTARIUS: THE HIEROPHANT

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You are in the mood to join a club or group. You want in! Usually you like to fly solo, free, and unfettered from commitments, but right now you want to be a part of something bigger and more influential than what you could create alone. The Hierophant sees this having a spiritual or community angle. You want to make a difference, so find your people, and sign up. You are a valuable asset.

CAPRICORN: PAGE OF CUPS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You’re in the mood for play, wonder, magic, and for creativity. This is not your usual mood, so make the most of this surge of imaginative freedom. Take a class, paint a picture, visit someplace new, sing karaoke, see a show, or watch your favorite movie from childhood. Whatever it is, get playful and let loose. You need this little hiatus from the grind of daily life.

AQUARIUS: ACE OF SWORDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You are known for being truthful, transparent, and moral. Your symbol is the water bearer, representing this purity. Good job, because the Ace of Swords is the tarot’s brutal honesty card. It means you’re in for some challenging dialogue this week—in a good way. Express yourself, say how you feel, and share a secret. Listen to others, seek to understand them, and pause before you react. You can make huge progress in your relationships this week.

PISCES: THE MAGICIAN

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Who doesn’t love The Magician? It’s a beautiful card about recognizing the magic within yourself. You are seeing your own unique talents and strengths. Better yet, you’re understanding how you can use them to make something new. Be bold, be creative, and be expressive. You are full of gifts. Why waste them? Make creativity your priority for spring.
