Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for February 20 – 26, 2023
Aries
9 of Pentacles
For Aries, the focus this week is on abundance and savoring what you already have.
The 9 of Pentacles points to comfort and a sense of material or emotional security. This isn’t solely about financial gain; it’s more about appreciating the present moment and recognizing the fruits of your effort.
If you need a place to start, write a gratitude list to center your mindset on what’s working in your life right now. That attitude will make it easier to notice and enjoy the rewards already within reach.
Taurus
7 of Wands (Reversed)
Taurus, your determination is highlighted, but this week you may feel unusually drained or blocked.
With the 7 of Wands reversed, the uphill climb feels steeper and your usual assertiveness may falter. The struggle might be external, but it can also be an internal battle with willpower or self-doubt.
Consider unconventional approaches and be prepared to apply effort in a different way than usual. Creative persistence will serve you better than sheer force.
Gemini
8 of Pentacles
Gemini, this is a productive, grounded week for you.
The 8 of Pentacles encourages focus on tasks and skills already underway. Rather than launching something new, prioritize refining current projects and improving craftsmanship.
Put in the steady work now and you’ll build a stronger foundation for future growth.
Cancer
Ace of Wands (Reversed)
Cancer may face friction initiating new ideas or passions this week.
The Ace of Wands reversed suggests sparks fizzle out before they catch. You might feel blocked when trying to begin something exciting. Instead of forcing action, allow concepts to be forged over time.
Be bold in spirit but discerning with your energy—know when to persist and when to let a project rest.
Leo
10 of Cups (Reversed)
Leo, your sense of long-term fulfillment might feel muted or distant this week.
The 10 of Cups reversed can pull you away from idealized visions of happiness, leaving you feeling disappointed or unsettled. Allow those feelings their space, but avoid sinking into prolonged negativity.
These emotions will pass; your true goals and heartfelt desires are closer than they may appear.
Virgo
8 of Wands (Reversed)
Virgo, slow down and review before racing ahead.
The 8 of Wands reversed warns against rushing projects or communication this week. Missteps and misunderstandings are more likely if you move too fast.
Lean into your natural ability to handle details and subtlety—careful pacing will prevent avoidable errors.

Libra
The Empress
Libra, you’re in a lush and creative moment.
The Empress highlights attraction, abundance, beauty, and creative fertility—areas where you naturally resonate. With the New Moon shaping the atmosphere, this is a potent time to set intentions related to creativity, relationships, or comfort.
Consider spending time on artistic projects, self-care rituals, or meditative practices that refine your intuition.
Scorpio
The Fool (Reversed)
Scorpio, proceed with caution before taking new leaps.
The Fool reversed curbs impulsive beginnings and invites humility. You may feel like a novice even in familiar territory, and that’s okay—this is an opportunity to learn and recalibrate rather than to perform.
Embrace the beginner’s mindset and let curiosity guide your next steps.
Sagittarius
The Magician
Sagittarius, this week highlights your ability to manifest through skill and initiative.
The Magician reminds you that resources are available, but you must activate them. Creativity, resourcefulness, and experimentation will bring results—especially when you integrate different parts of your life into a cohesive plan.
Think holistically and take empowered action where you can.
Capricorn
The Moon
Capricorn, expect a week colored by mystery, intuition, and inner reflection.
The Moon invites you to trust impressions that don’t always make logical sense. You may find yourself wrestling with feelings and unclear answers, and that’s part of the process.
Value the journey of discovery rather than forcing immediate clarity—your intuition will guide you forward even when the path seems obscured.
Aquarius
King of Swords (Reversed)
Aquarius, leadership through clear communication may feel challenging this week.
The King of Swords reversed emphasizes the quality and purpose of how you express your thoughts. You might feel unheard or misinterpreted. True authority this week comes from calm clarity, not volume.
If communication isn’t landing, focus on maintaining inner calm and conserving your energy.
Pisces
Ace of Swords (Reversed)
Pisces, this is not the time to push for every new opportunity.
The Ace of Swords reversed signals mental blockages and stalled breakthroughs. Forcing solutions typically backfires—patience, quiet reflection, and solitude will serve you better right now.
Allow ideas to settle and return when clarity grows naturally.
