Your Monthly Tarotscopes

The Seven Of Rods

January brings the kind of self belief and strength to stand up for what you truly want. Keep the faith with yourself and you'll be amazed by what you can achieve this month, Capricorn. In your professional zone, you may be considering a career change or advancement. To do this, you may have to face down some stiff competition or demonstrate that you can lead the field against others. Take heart though, as it's may be that very process which inspires you to raise your game for good. The first step to success is trying. Don't be tempted to give in and give up if you face any rivalry. One of your very best strategies this month is honesty. Keep your own actions above criticism. If others around you aren't as scrupulous, they will be found out. 

Emotionally, it's rather a busy month for you. By mid month, single Capricorns may find that you draw interest from more than one admirer. Try to keep focused and don't settle all your attention too soon on one person. If you're in one of those pairings that can be described as a 'situationship' or maybe there's someone complicated in your love life, try not to lose faith or walk away. Emotions become more defined and stable as the month progresses.

The Two Of Swords

For Aquarius it's about finding the balance this January. You may be drawn to re- assess the levels of commitment in some of your closest relationships and to consider whether you're truly being treated as an equal. Whether this applies to those connections in your love life, friendships or career, this month may need you to act or communicate in a way that brings back that balance. Whilst this clear communication will really help, it will also require a lot of tact and diplomacy on your part. You may also feel frustration this month by having to wait for decisions made by others before certain plans can go ahead. If so, remember patience is your superpower this month! 

January can so often be the time to make fresh starts or improvements in our health and well being. For analytical Aquarius, a renewed focus and plans that can incorporate positive thinking, planning and adopting more balanced habits will really tip the balance for you in the year to come. You may be drawn to - and enjoy- a new regime of eating well, prioritising sleep and finding the perfect kind of exercise for you.

The Page of Cups

Say hello to an atmosphere of greater lightness and more fun this month, Pisces. A more open energy moves in and with it far less need to be on your guard in your professional and emotional zones. Although you can have an idealistic and romantic aspect, much of  the last year might have forced you to remain focused and vigilant. Now you can relax a little and let go. Your professional life may have been especially challenging of late and you might have reached the point of  wanting to cut and run. However, early January lifts the pressure from professional life. You may find that the workplace atmosphere is lightened up by changes of personnel or the departure of people who you find difficult or obstructive.

Your emotional life will also benefit from renewed energy. Even serious relationships don't have to be serious in tone. If you've been worried about the commitment of a partner, then by mid month you'll be reassured of their affections. For single Pisces, there is the distinct possibility of a budding romance this month. Someone entering your life may be somewhat different from you. This may manifest by their being younger or from another background or culture. With any new admirers, try to go with the flow, Pisces. Don't allow worry to stop something in it's tracks before it's even started.

The Two Of Cups

January is very much about partnership and commitment for you, Aries. This isn't confined to your emotional life, it's energy runs through each aspect of who you are and how you express yourself. In early to mid January you may make significant far reaching decisions about just how and with whom you spend your time. In professional terms, this is actually a very empowering energy for you, especially if you want to make a move or even a complete change to your current career path. Partnership offers will arrive- whether  you're signing a contract to join a new organisation or getting together to start a new enterprise, you'll feel passionately invested in the bonds you forge. 

Emotionally, romantic love is a central theme and it's presence in your life is strong. By late January newer or recent relationships should move into a stage of more permanence and in established partnerships there are some powerful reaffirmations. Any emotional situations which are complex -or a little crowded- become simplified and more focused.  For those of you who haven't yet found what or who you seek, this month brings you a little bit of magic. There may be an element of synchronicity in romantic connections and you're are likely to meet someone in situations which involve your most intense interests.

The Ace of Swords

There's a mantra of 'seize the day' for Taurus this January. Your energy's refreshed and very ready to greet the new year. You may feel especially fired up in your professional and outer zones and ready to show the world just what you can really do. Rather than view any work related changes as obstacles, you'll actually delight in overcoming challenges that present themselves. Whilst you'll enjoy any professional manoeuvres that keep you on top of your game, your career zone improves greatly for you as the month ends. Your diligent Taurus nature tends to be grounded and doesn't take success for granted, but that sometimes tips over into anxiety that you aren't doing enough. January shows you that you can safely slow the pace. 

This month, social activity provides a rich soil in which your love life can grow. If single and looking, then make it your mission to get out there and try new things, as well as revisiting places and interests you may have set aside. Accept as many invitations as you possible this month, as they provide the key to meeting someone special. For attached Taurus, prioritise things like 'date nights' or trips to new places, It will help you see each other with fresh eyes and help you to remember that our real riches are the people who love us.

The Queen Of Rods

Move forward with confidence this month, Gemini. January's energy brings a great surge to any plans you might have to move home, change jobs and for any travel aspirations. As well as in those outer and more active zones of your life, this month is also about the inner you. Your emotional side develops significantly - optimism and the feeling of looking forward to the future make a welcome return to your life. In a professional situation you might decide that you've outgrown something or you're ready to take your talents to a bigger arena. So if you're feeling uncertain or disgruntled with your current career status, it's time to be bold and go for something bigger and better! 

Emotionally, relationships are revitalised this month. With close ones, old disagreements or misunderstandings can be healed and consigned to the past. For those in  more established partnerships, a touch of romance returns. You -or your partner -may be inspired to say just how much love you have for one another. In the daily routines of life we can often forget to tend those sparks of attraction, but this month the fires are rekindled. For the single Gemini seeking romantic connection,  you may find that making changes to your routines and your surroundings will boost your chances of encountering someone truly on your wavelength.

The Star

For Cancerians still feeling rather frazzled or dispirited by recent demands upon you, then remember that time changes everything and as 2026 begins you can look back on difficult events from a calmer distance, rather than being held firmly in the thick of them. The big message here is that you're now coming to the end of a challenging cycle and it's time to enjoy the now and live fully in a happier present. In your professional world, you may feel ready to seek pastures new. So if you've kept going in a situation purely for necessity then it's now a positive time to consider something that truly makes your heart sing out and that genuinely excites you. If there's something you long to do or try professionally then this is the month to get busy and fully investigate the possibilities. You can be far more in charge of your professional destiny, if you choose to take that power.

This month also signals a change of fortune in your relationship zone. For all Cancerians January signifies a time of going to deeper levels of commitment. Many coupled Cancerians may have experienced disruptions in relationships but January brings a happy turn around. The lighter tone and atmosphere helps get you forget grudges and look forward to a shared future again. For the single, late month may introduce dreamy romantic developments. Feel free to take a chance on a charming new arrival, but be sure to keep your feet firmly on the ground as you do...

The Four of Pentacles

You may have shown some immense dedication and worked ultra hard recently but January brings strong recognition of your efforts. Early January may still find you in a professional situation that tests you but you're more than ready to hold on tightly to your principles and guard your success. Some might call your attitude one of inflexibility. However, I would urge you, Leo, to think more positively of it as tenacity. In your career zone, the mid to late month proves to those around you that you are more than capable of sticking to your resolve and you'll have proved that you're no pushover when it comes to defending your interests. 

In relationships, you may feel that partners have been rather withholding of their feelings or affections. It actually may be you, Leo, who is  more reluctant to wear your heart on your sleeve. Be patient with those around you and with yourself. The time for romance will come and whilst this may not be the month for outpourings of desire or of unbridled passion, be re assured that partners will show a quieter steadfastness. Real love may not express itself as champagne and roses, but more in acts of practical help and kindnesses towards you.

The Eight Of Pentacles

It's very much a 'can do' energy for Virgo, this January and you can deftly skip through any recent challenges, overcoming them with your combination of logic and willpower. By mid month, you'll have really gained results for hard work and efforts and that may lead to an atmosphere of celebration around you. By month's end it will be the perfect time to take a break or  to reward yourself in some way. Being such a conscientious sign, you'll enjoy this moment the more for having earned it. Even for a prudent and sensible Virgo, finances may have been challenging recently. January brings both improvement and increase as a result of your previous hard work, clever investments or your own efforts to rein in spending. By late month, things are looking very good indeed for you financially.

In your relationships, bonds are strengthened and promises fulfilled. Disagreements and differences of opinion are resolved, possibly with the added bonus of your being proved to be right. Romantically, attached Virgos might feel much closer to partners and very much in tune with their needs and ambitions. For the unattached Virgo a connection in late month may bring an encounter with someone who offers  you stability, consistency and calm.

The Nine Of Cups

For Libra, it's more about valuing yourself this month. Despite the demands of the festive season, finances should still feel abundant enough for you to enjoy a little time out even to enjoy some indulgence this January. You may see, though, that your true abundance lies with the people around you. It may sound trite to say 'count your blessings' but sometimes we need to spend time celebrating the really good things or people we already have in our lives. Remember also, that thoughts become things. With health and vitality, encouraging and maintaining a positive mindset will have a ripple effect on your physical well being. In your work life, there are changes for the better coming. If you do want to make changes in your career, you're likely to land on something even better than you might have aimed for or expected.

Emotionally, your own feelings of self worth and self belief are likely to be so much stronger from this time onwards. You won't need someone to complete you- you'll feel complete just as you are. For single Librans, someone with whom you can totally be yourself should be headed your way by late month, Whereas attached Librans will be more than happy to be wrapped up in your own cosy blanket of coupledom.

The Fool

The energy represented here is one of newness and fresh starts as well as a more open and optimistic world view. Your 'new beginnings' this month are of a deep and more profound kind. It's not just about new jobs, locations, or friends- although these are elements of your month ahead. Rather it's more about your ability to see yourself and the situations around you with a renewed perspective. What parts of your life do you feel are not the 'right fit' or a true reflection of who you truly are? You may even feel sufficiently inspired and energised to strike out for yourself  and start your own business venture- or if you already have, then you're likely to make some brave moves towards expansion.

Single Scorpio, may not feel ready for a big commitment. In fact, you may be more likely to enjoy dating and mixing with a few different individuals to see if you're good match. In love and relationships it's important to see the whole range of who's out there before you leap into any permanent romantic commitment. For attached Scorpio, it's time for spontaneity to come back into longer term partnerships. It may well be that your significant other has some exciting surprises for you - or you're inspired to plan some new adventures together. Embrace the fun that this month offers.

The Empress

You're something of a magnet for abundance this month, Sagittarius. You also seem to be the person with advice and wise words for those around you. Whilst it's great to be both appreciated and approached, it's also important you allow yourself time and opportunity to enjoy your own space and indulgence. You'll be noticed more in both your professional and personal arenas and find yourself the focus of attention, but remember that you can't be 'on stage' all the time. You can be confident about career this month and really generate better financial gains for yourself. Sagittarians seeking new professional situations should allow intuition to play a bigger part in guiding choices than how good something might look on paper.

Love is abundant for you this month too. If you're part of a committed relationship, bonds should become deeper and closer. If you're looking to expand your family, then the word fertile may truly apply-  if you're not, then be very aware of this month's expansive energy.  For single Sagittarius, your powers of attraction may be especially high this month, so don't hide yourself away. Social situations- especially those close at hand- can provide the setting for you to encounter a highly compatible soul in mid month.
