You don't 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: NINE OF CUPS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Venus moves into Leo this week which provokes major drama, passion, and confident, bold moves in our love lives and closest relationships. It’s time to get what (or who) you truly want. This is too important to fake or pretend or do what you think others expect of you. The Nine of Cups is a blessed dream-come-true card and encourages us all to be authentic in our love life dealings, say how we really feel and ask for what we most want. Be the change you want to see, lead by example, and reset the vibration in your realm—results will swiftly follow (within 9 days!). This week is a love life game changer.
ARIES: QUEEN OF CUPS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Romance and self love are the themes of this week, relationship bliss awaits but the key to it starts in your own heart. Being pure, honest, and clear about who you prioritize, and what you need in return, and how you can best serve the relationship (not just yourself). Start with your own expectations, behaviors, habits, and flaws. Make yourself the best version of you and this will change the dynamic in your closest relationships for the better. A beautiful formula of how to best give and receive love will unfold for you this week, a formula unique to you, that makes perfect sense. You wish you’d known this all along.
TAURUS: THE WORLD
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
The World is the tarot’s final card of the major arcana and has powerful "final frontier" energy. It can literally point to travel and new horizons, especially globally, so if this is on your to-do list then accelerate that goal. If not, then consider what endings, natural conclusions, and wrap ups are coming into view in your realm- everything has a life span. Endings are often resisted but they shouldn’t be, because the energy is used up, and it just means you’re ready to fly off into a new sky. Start to let yourself daydream what they might look like. Positive growth and change lies ahead.
GEMINI: SEVEN OF SWORDS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
When you get a funny feeling about a person, you must listen to it. You’re not the kind of person who goes around causing upset or provoking people, you always come from a pure, kind place. So, if you feel vibes are off, something’s shady, someone is rattling or competing or undermining you… then they probably are, because you’re not paranoid and you’re not stirring it up yourself. What to do? Always withdraw. Seek distance. Step back. Let them show you who they are from a safe distance. Protect yourself and your interests above all. Some folk can’t help themselves, but it’s all about their peace and personality, not yours.
CANCER: NINE OF PENTACLES
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Investment is required. There are matters in your realm that need attention and they can’t be fixed or sorted overnight- consistently applied time, energy and resources are required. This might pertain to areas of health, wealth, work, or home. Practical steps are needed, and it all starts here, but the plan will likely take months (if not years, or maybe even forever). This is about doing something important differently to how you have been doing it. And the change will stick. The even better news is that the results will be immediate and ongoing, because you will have found the magic formula at last!
LEO: NINE OF SWORDS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Get things off your chest, Leo, express yourself. Be honest, be blunt, be direct. No point hiding all of this mess or pretending everything is OK, when you feel so fraught. The key to resolving this heavy feeling is to offload it by talking about it out loud. Sounds too simple? I promise that you will feel the load literally lift from you as the words pour out. Your anxiety will evaporate. Your dread will melt. Your angst will unravel. And what you’ll be left with are small nuggets of issues you can definitely take practical tangible steps there and then to address. Action always feel good. Speak up and start tackling what ails you.
VIRGO: ACE OF CUPS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
A new love is blossoming in your realm, Virgo, and it feels amazing. This is bliss. If it’s romantic, then expect love at a first sight vibes, and maybe this is with someone you only meet this week, and maybe they’re a dreamy Water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio). If this is a friendship, then you feel like you’ve known them forever already, and the feeling is mutual. If you’re looking to start or grow your family (babies or pets!) then set to on that ambition this week too. If you’re seeking a role that lights up your heart then check LinkedIn this week because something just for you will be there waiting for your attention.
LIBRA: KING OF CUPS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Emotional intelligence is one of the benefits of aging. Wisdom, compassion, understanding, confidence, resilience, and fortitude. The ability to control your emotions, summon courage to do difficult things, find peace in chaos, and help others do the same. This powerful ability is growing in you, Libra, and this week will allow you to share it with others. Folk need your help. Folk need your shrewd counsel and assistance, the objective and organized way you can make sense of thorny, complex problems. You find this easy, others don’t. So show them the way through their tangles. This kindness will never be forgotten.
SCORPIO: STRENGTH
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Strength is about more than brute force or courage or power. Strength can be quiet, humble, merciful, and self sacrificing. You have been on quite a journey in 2025 and, as a result, your depth and breadth of strength has grown. You actually feel like a different person to the one who set out in January. You feel pressure tested, a little weathered, but ultimately in control and stronger. Use this self esteem to pick your next ambition or challenge this week! You can do more than you thought. You are greater and more capable than you believed. Adjust your horizons and goals accordingly.
SAGITTARIUS: THE HIEROPHANT
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
All Sagittarians are wonderful students and fantastic teachers. You possess boundless curiosity, endless energy, and the ability to inspire, motivate, and share what you’re interested in. The Hierophant sees you bring both student and teacher this week, and perhaps liking this hybrid role, perhaps wondering whether there is some career or personal development pathway here. Coaching others is probably the secret, best way to learning stuff yourself, because you have to truly understand, have condensed, and be able to communicate what you’ve absorbed. It’s a test. Learn, coach, share. Repeat. You will find yourself in surprising demand!
CAPRICORN: FIVE OF SWORDS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Arguments are such invasive and damaging experiences. Things are always said that shouldn’t be aired, aren’t meant, or come without the proper context of a considered discussion. It’s chaos. You have had a skirmish like this recently and still feel bruised. However, you’ve healed, time has passed, things have died down, and you can repair the breakages. Reach out, say hi, check in, offer a route back to communication, and take things from there. Even if it's only to agree to disagree, it will help provide peace of mind. You don’t like conflict, no one does.
AQUARIUS: EIGHT OF CUPS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
This week is like a perfect package of rebirth or a fully-told comeback story. Day one starts with you wrestling with a pretense that something is working, which clearly is NOT working, and feeling like you’re tired of faking it. Day two brings clarity and release, you stop pretending, you say it how it is. Day three brings closure, the ending or loss or release of this façade. Day four brings a touch of sorrow or grief, not so much for what’s gone but how much time you’ve wasted on it. Day five brings a new opportunity or opening that fully replaces what was let go. Day six brings acceptance and gratitude for that. Day seven brings celebration and appreciation- what a week!
PISCES: THREE OF CUPS
Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite
Blissful vibes are all around you this week, Pisces. The Three of Cups is like a toast or cheers from the cosmos, an invite to the nest party on Earth (your life!), a message to kick back and simply enjoy all the pleasures you can find in your realm. Why not? We all work so hard, do so much, try every day. What is it for if not to have rewards and thrive as well as survive? Remind yourself how wonderful your world can be. Gravitate towards the people, places, and activities that put a smile on your face and peace in your soul. Be mindful, wholesome, loving, and kind. Fill your days with joyful thoughts and actions. Be happy.
