Just like every year, I work on the tarot forecast for the year by horoscope. And again, it’s always worth clarifying that the tarot – and any form of divination for that matter – is not meant to tell your future, but to give you a different insight into the present and to allow you to make better and more informed decisions.

So, without further ado, let’s get started:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

While your yar may look bad on the outside, once you take a deeper look you will be able to see that a variety of deep and important lessons are waiting for you. In the first quarter, be careful when it comes to spending because not everyone you spend money on will be worth it. This will lead you to a period of reflection around April followed by stronger and sturdier friendships. Despite that, one of your circle will lead you to another disappointment, but your other friends will make up for it in spades. An investment you’ve made will start showing fruits in July; however, you need to resist the urge to reap too early. Instead be patient and look into re-investing around November, but be careful about your saving where you actually need to be spending. All in all, your year is about being careful seizing your opportunities when they arise and following your first impressions when it comes to new people you meet.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

It seems that what you are expecting is going to take a bit more time, so more patience is required all the way to June. Meanwhile, the first half of your year is going to be a series of ups and downs leading up to an important third quarter in which you reimagine yourself and emerge with a renewed strength and image. This calls for a lot of introspection for you to learn about who you really are and what brings meaning to your life. November will be your crowning achievement as you reach the peak of your year; however, you need to be careful about taking to the offense in December. Overall, this year will be very important for your growth as a person, but what will help you evolve is making the patient choices and avoiding being rash.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Although it seems that your main relationship is in jeopardy at the onset of the year, avoid attempting to take it further as a means of resolving it; instead, you will need to take a step back and reevaluate all your relationships. Around April, you will need to choose which relations to keep and which to let go of. Your luck will start to improve in May, and a random, unexpected decision made then will end up dictating the rest of your year. Be careful about being too lazy and look back to your childhood to understand your patterns of behaviour, for these will lead to a major family conflict; the way you deal with it may end up bringing you to unexpected wealth. Make sure not to overspend when that wealth comes until December where a good opportunity may arise. All in all, this year is a time for you to face your karma in order to overcome the past and forge on.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Wisdom is knowing when to share it, and the beginning of your year is not a time for sharing wisdom, but of understanding what to let go of, what traps to avoid, and going deeper into yourself. Improve the skills you have and delay learning any new skills till at least October to avoid getting confused. A conflict with an important person in your life may take place in August, but it will lead to a better harmony and understanding with that person. Avoid major change and travel in November; instead, ground yourself and plan for the upcoming year. All in all, your life goal is becoming clearer and clearer this year, but you still need to give more of yourself to achieve it.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

While you may be tempted to run away from whatever is going on in your life at the beginning of the year, calm yourself down and dive deeper into yourself. While doing that, keep yourself in check so that you don’t fall into depressive patterns. You need to recreate yourself and not push yourself over the brink. If you succeed, May and June will be bringing you plenty of success and happiness. Enjoy it but don’t get carried away, for judgement is just around the corner, and the way you deal with your new self will help you achieve a balance you’ve never had before. Once you feel that balance, you need to maintain it till the end of the year, so avoid falling back into childish patterns or taking on new responsibilities until you are confident. In general, your year is more about keeping in than letting out, so learn what helps you improve yourself and get rid of what brings you down.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The new responsibilities you take on at the beginning of the year will also bring on rewards; however, don’t reap them too early. Reinvest your extra earnings in improving your knowledge and skills while meeting new people and working on keeping the people already around you; otherwise, the road ahead may get lonely. Regardless, balance your social life with your personal life properly without overspending so that you can enjoy your new lifestyle around September. Stay put till the end of the year and don’t be tempted to leave what you have achieved regardless of the difficulties you face. Overall, you are in a position of power this year: you may need to fight to keep it, but it is worth it, so don’t give it up.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you need to be careful about every step you take at the beginning of this year, and the path may seem lonely at times, you will find solace in new friends around April. Jump in and enjoy this new social circle, for you will quickly find yourself at its centre. This will surely have its ups and downs, and you may still feel lonely at times again, but you can now rest assured that this new circle will empower you and carry you on faithfully. Be generous with yourself and spend on what makes you happy for this will bring you more and more strength of character that people will look up to. All in all, the friendships you’ve wanted since your childhood will now become yours, so seize your chance and enjoy your new life.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you are used to being the centre of attention, this year you will start taking a step back and following other people’s leads. While it may seem a bit frustrating, you will slowly begin to enjoy it as you feel the old you dying out and a new and more balanced you emerging around July. Take the interesting trip that comes in November, but don’t rush to reap before the end of the year. The main theme for your year is a perceived betrayal which will push you into a wave of reflection and a regeneration of your spirit into one you will enjoy a lot more.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Avoid being the centre of attention and focusing too much on yourself until May. This is when you should start giving a bit of yourself to those around you, but still, be careful of trusting everyone in a new circle you meet for it will lead to a betrayal which will teach you a wide array of important lessons. Armed with this new knowledge, you will find yourself again in the spotlight with renewed strength and a stronger message. Retain your humility and intend to work with people and not by yourself because they will show you where you need to be spending your money and energy; otherwise, your new undertaking may be fruitless. All in all, the theme of your year is self-empowerment by empowering those around you. Give of yourself when you can because this is how you will build your strength.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you feel invincible at times, be careful and take time to plan and reflect so that you don’t reap too early and ruin your chance of a bigger harvest. Look into yourself and into the people around you to find out what’s best for your journey. Between June and September, avoid starting new partnerships, even with people you’ve known all your life. Instead, take the journey by yourself and reach higher; otherwise, the harvest you reach will be much less your own and more of others. Learn from the betrayals you encounter for they will show you the path of trust. For this year, although you are the centre of attention for many, you need to be careful about who to trust and who to work with. First impressions are not always accurate, so take your time to evaluate people before trusting them.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

While your year starts with some confusion and uncertainty especially when it comes to the people you’ve always known, it is important for you to recentre yourself and regain your balance between March and April. Don’t fight too hard against closed paths, instead follow the flow until November. Even if things don’t look right to you, resist the urge to fix them or to share your knowledge when it’s not requested. Otherwise, you will face many unnecessary difficulties. This year is bringing you a great harvest that you’ve been working on for a long time, so enjoy it and avoid complicating it.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The family conflicts you’ve been struggling with will plague your first quarter until you realise in May that they are not worth it and that a re-evaluation of your values is in order. Once you do that and atone for your mistakes, you will emerge as a much wiser and more powerful person. In doing so, you will be ready for a minor betrayal in December. Overall, this year you must learn to let go of your childhood fears and habits, for they are what’s been holding you back all this time.
