By Mahasweta Mazumder

Aries (March 21 - April 20):

The card symbolizes conquering raw emotions in order to bring peace to oneself or a situation. The Strength card generally relates to inner struggles. Overcoming the challenges we experience as a result of our own doubts, worries, and concerns. In general, this card implies that you are learning to control your worries and concerns, as well as to be bold and adventurous. You have all of the abilities you need to succeed; the goal now is to overcome your inner fears and believe in yourself. Take the time you need to master your emotions and be patient and kind to yourself.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21):

The Queen of Cups symbolizes internal focus and tranquility. She is feminine, kind, and compassionate, and she has the capacity to connect emotionally with others. If the queen symbolizes a woman in your life, she will have an impact on you and your actions, and she will do it with good intentions. It might be a sign that you need to seek assistance or connect with others to address your difficulties. However, before you seek assistance from others, this Queen advises you to connect with and listen to your inner voice.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21):

It implies that you are already in or are on your way to a situation in which you have no option but to act. You, like the lady on the card, are feeling lost and without help. The Eight of Swords card represents times when you are lost and bewildered, with little hope of assistance or comfort in sight. You may feel constrained by your surroundings or as though you are in an impossible scenario. You may possibly have no idea what happened and believe there is no way out. You may feel increasingly constrained, and your alternatives appear to be decreasing. Keep in mind that options are always available. Solutions may not be easy to find, but they do exist.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22):

The Six of Pentacles is a generous and compassionate card.  How are you helping others this week? When you have the means, financial gifts are the easiest to offer. Giving from the heart, on the other hand, might have a greater impact on someone's life and attitude. This week, donate your time, your expertise, and your support to those who need it. There is no such thing as giving too much. Your giving only attracts more riches, joy, and happiness into your life.

Leo (July 23 - August 23):

Setbacks and disappointments are a part of everyone's lives. Business failures, legal setbacks, obstacles, and scheduling difficulties are just a few of the less heartbreaking things that the Three of Swords may symbolize. The card implies that this setback or loss is the primary focus of the moment. The Three of Swords, advises that we pause for a moment and take a personal inventory of what was lost and how.

Virgo (August 24 - September 22):

The card refers to the bleak and depressing process of clearing up a battlefield after a conflict. The battle has not yet been won or lost in its entirety, but this combat resulted in significant fatalities. This card advises the loser to thoroughly examine what went wrong in order to create a new plan and avoid more losses. Before returning to the field for another round, you must regroup and reassess your game plan, identify your blind spots and weak links, and implement corrective measures.

Libra (September 23 - October 23):

The card symbolises offers, good news, and invitations. The news or proposals he provides generally elicits a great deal of interest.  Knights are action takers and this card may indicate that the moment has come to act and follow your heart, or that you are going to be swept off your feet. The Knight of Cups may also represent kindness, compassion, and warmth. It may also symbolize grace under pressure or diplomacy, so you may find yourself serving as a mediator in the resolution of any disputes or conflicts.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22):

The Eight of Wands Tarot card represents communication and its significance. The focus of the Eight of Wands is communicating with others by talking, writing, and emailing. Phone conversations, emails, faxes, and social media will all be useful in relaying your message. The Eight of Wands might represent a necessary path of action. The main theme is to put yourself out there, be social, and interact with others. Don't be shy because those you interact with will think highly of you.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21):

This Knight may appear to give you the thumbs up or the go-ahead to carry out your plans. He advises you to look to the future and go for it right now. However, while planning ahead is a good idea in this case, don't go too far ahead of yourself. The intention is to act immediately while being aware of what is going on around you. As new developments emerge, you may need to revise your strategy. Overall, now is the moment to make a move and put your ideas to the test.  It's now or never, and you'll have to act quickly to get in or out of a situation.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20):

The card indicates that things are going well. It is now time to appreciate what you have worked for or earned. You could find your possessions unappealing and wish to keep moving on. Be wary of falling into a loop of buying newer versions and following new trends just because you're bored. Recognize that it is all a cycle of purchasing, consuming, and discontinuing. You'll be better off without it once you realize it's a full circle. If you're feeling adventurous, now is the time to pack your belongings and go exploring.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18):

The Ace of Swords challenges us to reflect on ourselves and our lives. It demands complete honesty on our part. This Ace assists you in focusing on your own needs and doing what is best for you. It pierces the gloom of your thoughts, allowing light to penetrate. Then you'll be able to view things for what they truly are, rather than what you imagined they may be. When you disarm this Sword, no one can deceive you or pull the wool over your eyes. The Ace of Swords' sharpness aids in cutting any part of your life that is undeserving. This may be a toxic relationship, a job that suffocates you, or a friend that fills you with negativity and sadness.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20):

The Three of Pentacles is a positive card that focuses on your job in general - particularly teamwork. It often refers to creative pursuits and how these efforts benefit others.  It might also indicate a lot of hard, uninteresting work. If you stay focused on the work at hand, you will be successful. After all the hard work, you may even emerge as a renowned expert in the respective endeavor.
