TAROT READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 1, 2026

“And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars.” Luke 21:25

An overview of major astrology transits for this week helps focus the Tarot. Please remember that astrology aspects are not predictions but merely signposts to help understand the astral influences that may affect you.

·        We start this week with the Full Snow Moon at 12° Leo opposite not only the Sun but also Mars and Pluto in Aquarius, creating a strong concentration of energy. This is a great time for some personal creativity with others. Kick up your heels. As a friend of mine puts it, “Dance/Sing like no one is watching.”

·        By Monday, Mercury and Venus join the party in Aquarius. Aquarius rules the house of groups and friends. With five planets in Aquarius, relish catching up with friends and have some fun. This energy will last all week.

·        As a side note, slow-moving Pluto generally addresses a generation/society. So, while there may be strong energy in society, you’re invited to enjoy your time of play recognizing there are things out of your control. Remember, it’s all temporary.

In considering all of these planetary aspects, more is revealed when you are aware of which houses these aspects occur in your natal chart and other personal transits in your natal chart.

I always take a few moments of quiet to center myself, take a few deep breaths, and listen to intuition coming forth as I shuffle the cards. For the Zodiac signs this week, I'm using the traditional Rider-Waite deck.

·       Collective card: The Emperor

The Emperor is all about personal authority, a reminder to ask “why” concerning your work, your activities, your projects, your relationships. The answers will reveal whether you need to move forward or abandon. Sometimes we get so caught up in societal ‘finish what you start’ mode that we don’t allow ourselves to stop useless work. Quitting can be healing.

·        ARIES [the Ram]: Three of Cups

This card may refer to ‘three’s-a-crowd’ if there’s some outer influence mucking up your life. If that’s the case, you need to put on your Emperor hat and deal with it in that fashion. However, the Three of Cups also refers to new friends, new groups, and/or new members [or pets] in your family. Avoid allowing too many memories to drag you down.

·        TAURUS [the Bull]: Six of Wands

Taurus loves serenity and groundedness and that’s what this week holds for you. The energy surrounding you is completely balanced. Now would be the perfect week to start that project you’ve been pondering. You are at the helm of a new adventure!

·        GEMINI [the Twins]: Two of Swords

Decisions must be taken seriously. Some are easy; some, not so much.  A decision you’ve been grappling with lately can be accomplished in the way you’ve been considering. However, it may come at a cost to you for it to work. The key is whether you are willing to accept the down side. If not, ponder this a while longer.

·        CANCER [the Crab]: Judgement

Lighten your load, Cancer. Have you taken on more than you can reasonably handle? Avoid being harsh with yourself. Instead, come to terms with your past or a recent undertaking as a means of moving forward. You are being called to make some significant change.

·        LEO [the Lion]: Six of Cups

This may be a nostalgic week, thinking back on your childhood and/or relationships from the past. This week’s Full Moon may be trying to overshadow your daily routine. Getting too involved in yesterday will prevent you from addressing today. You have a generous spirit, but allow the Emperor to rule!

·        VIRGO [the Virgin]: The Empress

The Empress is a card of fertility and a passionate approach to life. If you’re thinking of having a child, this week is a good time to explore that more deeply. However, fertility isn’t just about children; it’s creating new ideas, new projects, and new relationships. Spirits are high with anticipation and accomplishment.

·        LIBRA [the Scales]: King of Wands

You are in the lead and passionate about it. Get out and do something you enjoy just for the fun involved. Maybe this will lead you outdoors and encourage those close to you to share in that joyous excursion. Love abounds.

·        SCORPIO [the Scorpion]: Knight of Swords

Outwardly, you are brave, skillful, and strong. On the inside, you may be feeling less positive and a little lonely this week, because you are struggling with an issue that is plodding along too slowly. This is not your nature and you may not be handling it well. Have patience. This is temporary.

·        SAGITTARIUS [the Archer]: Four of Swords

`     Call a truce, retreat and give yourself time to reassess. Although, Sagittarius, you’re always pushing to make it to the top, sometimes it’s better to rest and recoup your strength before moving forward. This allows you to then pick up the pace towards success.

·        CAPRICORN [the Sea-Goat]: Strength

Whatever challenges face you this week, persevere with hope and grace. By addressing life with passion and peace, you will find the strength you need from within to help you climb any mountain or solve any problem. Don’t quit before the miracle happens.

·        AQUARIUS [the Water Bearer]: Five of Wands

Look at life as more of an exciting struggle than a tedious battle. You may be feeling more battle fatigued this week due to the five planets in Aquarius opposite the Full Moon. Rely on your close friends and groups to steer you to a happy place where you can regain your balance.

·        PISCES [the Fish]: Five of Pentacles

With Saturn currently in Pisces, you are likely feeling that you’re not enough, that you should be holding everything together for everyone. Set these baseless worries aside. They are not true! You are not responsible for everyone. Look at all you have and all you’ve accomplished and be grateful. You are exactly where you need to be.
