ARIES – Stay in balance. A lot of things may try to pull you this way and that. If you lose yourself in them you won’t even be able to think straight. One thing at a time and things of your own choosing.

TAURUS – Be good to yourself this month. You seem to need some extra pampering and nurturing. Maybe take a spa day or spend a day in the park or doing your favorite things. Release what is weighing you down.

 GEMINI – Might be time for some changes. If you are feeling the urge to change some things, the Universe is backing you up. Just make certain you are in control of these changes and you are the one initiating them.

CANCER – Need a vacation? Make it happen. Maybe you can’t afford a month at a resort, but a day at the beach (even a local lake) is doable. There is always a way if you are willing to compromise a little.

LEO – If you are in over your head and feel pressure and stress, some things may need to be eliminated from your daily schedule. Over achieving is not an art, it is a lucky accident and rarely leaves time for enjoying life.

VIRGO – Listen to good advice. Do not seek it from someone who knows less than you or your outcome could be disastrous. Good solid, experience – yours or someone else’s is the best guidance. 

LIBRA – Seek answers. Don’t just wait for them to come to you. Do your research, consult an expert, or take some classes. Prepare yourself and enlighten your mind and everything will flow easily to you.

SCORPIO – Make your decision based on what you see and know, rather than on your desires. You seem to be waiting for everything to be in exactly the right place. Maybe the Universe is waiting for you to make a move.

SAGITTARIUS – Do not let others’ judgements bring you down. What you think about yourself is the most important opinion and should not include judgements at all, only accomplishments.

CAPRICORN – Fun and relaxation are the keys to this month. The more you relax, the more you will accomplish. So time with friends, doing what you enjoy most, just being, are all good choices.

AQUARIUS – Whatever you do, it is good to be fully prepared beforehand. Know your limits, your strengths and work with both. This is not a time to try and just wing it. You need to do your homework.

PISCES – If whatever is in your way is not moving, perhaps you aren’t meant to either. Often what delays us, saves us. Just relax and wait for everything to clear.

ARIES – Appreciation brings more abundance into our lives. In this first month of the New Year, try focusing on what you have instead of what you have not or not enough of. Build on the abundance instead of the lack. Always look for the silver lining.

TAURUS – This year it is time to break out of your shell and take some chances to get things moving toward your goals. Maybe take some classes or volunteer in a field that interests you. There are a thousand ways to get your foot in the door if you take the first step.

GEMINI – Maybe the holidays weren’t all you hoped they would be? Maybe you’ve been feeling disappointed or blue. The holidays aren’t to blame. It is up to you how long you feel disappointed and how disappointed you are. Move on and better things will come.

CANCER – One of the things we usually do in January is evaluate what is and isn’t working in our lives. We may not want to eliminate what isn’t working – yet, but it is a very good time to let go of what we don’t need or especially what may be harming us in some way.

LEO – Never quit while you are ahead. If you do, you’ll never know how much further you could have gone. Pay attention, be kind and most of all keep going. This could be a very good year where you’ll rise above your own expectations.

VIRGO – Can’t keep your resolution? Then make a new one as many times as it takes to accomplish what you want to do. We start over every morning when we get out of bed. Starting over is something we are experienced in and should not fear.

LIBRA – Focus on what you want to create in your life. That’s very hard to do when you are distracted by everyday activities. Perhaps this year, you could create a habit of spending just a few minutes a day thinking about nothing but what you desire to create. Every minute you do may be more than you are now.

SCORPIO – Start this year with the confidence that you can create whatever you want in your life. It may take some work and help from those who encourage you, but you can make the changes you desire.

SAGITTARIUS – Any January is a good time to make new or renewed goals. You are feeling the energy of the New Year pushing you forward. Ask for help if you need it. It will be there for you. Listen to your intuition to guide you. It will never fail you.

CAPRICORN – If you have felt the need to give up anything for the New Year, multi-tasking might be a good thing to let go of. It leaves very little time for rest and reflection and sometimes robs us of the quality of our actions. Trying to focus on many things at once can lead to neglect of what may be most important.

AQUARIUS – After all of the festivities of the Holiday Season, January can sometimes be a letdown. It’s tough to get back into a routine that might not be as much fun. There’s no reason not to celebrate, whatever time of year it is. Throw a party, attend an event or just get together with friends. Keep the good times flowing.

PISCES – Take some time in this New Year to reflect on where you are right now and what needs to be done to make you stop worrying and start acting to resolve your problems. They won’t all be resolved quickly, but little steps begin to make a difference.

ARIES – Having a good time can be very nurturing and healthy as long as it is balanced with peace and solitude. Balance will be important to you this month with so many opportunities to celebrate. Choose wisely. Card for 2023: Key 9 Guidance. Counsel.

TAURUS – Do not second guess yourself. You know what you need to do and you know how to do it. While it may seem risky or even foolhardy, it is a chance to grow and become what you are meant to be. Card for 2023: Key 5 Tradition. Evolve.

GEMINI – Caution is advised with any major purchase or decision that depends on someone else this month. Those situations can often turn out disappointing. Be patient. It will come to you of its own. Card for 2023: Four of Earth. Attachments.

CANCER – A new skill may be developed that can lead to additional income or just a rewarding hobby. Pay attention to opportunities to learn something new, especially in a field of interest to you. Card for 2023: Key 29 Awareness. Consciousness.

LEO – Follow your heart this month. Don’t get too caught up in trying to figure everything out. Just do what feels right at the moment and be creative in your reactions. Card for 2023: Father of Air. Detachment.

VIRGO – The more you have, the more you can give. It is also true that the more you give, the more you get. That is just the way things work out. Give generously. Card for 2023: Two of Water. Partnership.

LIBRA – Do what you love and the money will follow. Focus on what is good for you and how what you do can help others as well. That is the secret to being truly happy. Card for 2023: Child of Earth. Knowledge.

SCORPIO – A change of scenery would do you good. A short trip or even an afternoon outing could really make a difference in your energy. Just make sure you enjoy yourself! Card for 2023: Four of Fire. Abundance.

SAGITTARIUS – Learn from the best and you can be assured of success. Knowledge and preparedness are the keys. You don’t have to go out on your own when there is so much information available today. Seek it. Card for 2023: Child of Fire. Focus.

CAPRICORN – This month marks a new beginning. You can finally begin to see where things are going and the possible outcome. Treat it gently and it will grow. Card for 2023: Key 6 Union. Connections. 

AQUARIUS – Don’t be fooled. You are the one responsible for all of the good in your life and you get to decide what is or isn’t best for you. Anything else could be someone trying to control you. Card for 2023: Four of Water. Opportunities.

PISCES – Don’t forget to take time out to pamper yourself a little. Especially this time of year there are so many demands on our time and energy. It is easy to forget self-care! Card for 2023: Father of Water. Compassion.

ARIES – The choice is really not that difficult. Go with what you are feeling and work out the details later. The main thing that is needed right now is the decision to move ahead.

TAURUS – Some things are harder to face than others, but not facing something ensures that it will become harder to face later. Once you get it over with, it’s over and healing can and will begin. It’s all just part of life.

GEMINI – Give from your heart and you will always receive whatever you need. That is a universal law. The energy from giving continually increases so it benefits the receiver, the giver and the world. A true gift is never wasted. 

CANCER – When you are doing something for fun, there should be no pressure to succeed. That is not what having fun is all about. It is about letting go and enjoying the ride without attachment to the outcome. Try it and you’ll see.

LEO – Everything new and exciting in the world comes from someone’s creativity. It might as well be you. Express what you feel in a way that not only excites others but engages your creativity. There is no limit.

VIRGO – Trust yourself. This month it is not a good idea to follow someone else’s suggestion or idea. They may not have your best interest at heart, but are expressing their own opinion of what is good for you. Stand alone and act alone.

LIBRA – Don’t give up now. You are almost there. Take a break if you must, but then start again to realize your dreams. It is possible that there is someone who can help you in this venture. A partnership could be just what you are looking for.

SCORPIO – Paying attention or being aware when others aren’t gives you the advantage of having knowledge and skill they will never experience. Awareness gives you an edge. Going blindly through life is a dead end.

SAGITTARIUS – New beginning energies surround your sign this month. Pay attention to what is offered to you. It could turn out to be a very profitable opportunity. There is work involved, but that won’t be a problem if you stay focused.

CAPRICORN – Relationship issues need to be cleared up before the emotions behind then become more intense. This will be a successful endeavor only if you are able to rationally shed light on the problem and accept your share of the culpability.

AQUARIUS – You may feel a need to go in an entirely different direction and if that’s what you feel, that’s what you should do. We often have moments of inspiration that are never followed through because of lack of confidence. What’s the worst that could happen?

PISCES – Waiting is stressful. What we want seems to take forever to get here. The time will go by much faster if we spend that time enjoying ourselves instead of just waiting. Spend this month doing those things that make you happiest with the people you enjoy the most.

ARIES – Do not judge someone by their past. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone changes. However, it still may be necessary to use caution, like you would when meeting someone for the first time.

TAURUS – Being afraid of something that might happen or that we fear might happen is a wasteful way to use energy. It is okay to take precautions in order to remain safe but it is also a good idea to remind yourself that most of what we fear never happens.

GEMINI – Balance is the key this month and always for you. You can easily go too far one way or the other and exhaust yourself in the process. Think of your energy as a commodity that you spend at times and save up at times for another day.

CANCER – This fall should be a good time for your sign. Very prosperous energy surrounds you as well as calm and security. You seem to be on top of anything that happens very quickly and efficiently.

LEO – Relationships may need to be handled carefully this month. Pressure from several different places put additional strain on them. Keep the peace by carefully choosing what you say and when you say it. Misunderstandings can escalate.

VIRGO – Positive changes abound. Allow them to happen and know that you have the wisdom to accept them into your life without confrontation or resistance. You may not see the reward right away but you will feel that you are doing the right thing.                   

LIBRA – No matter what anyone else says, if it feels right for you and makes you happy and doesn’t harm anyone else, it is the right thing to do. As long as you accept responsibility for your actions, it should not be anyone else’s concern.

SCORPIO – What you don’t know can hurt you. Become informed about whatever issues arise this month and avoid confusion and errors. This seems to be of the mechanical nature. Time for a tune up?

SAGITTARIUS – Be careful not to push yourself past your limit. It could result in confusion and errors. Take time out when you need it and most of all admit it when you need it.

CAPRICORN – Sometimes all of the confusion around us keeps us from being able to see what we need to see right in front of us. If we take a break from the world, even for a day, we can see much more clearly. Play for a while and just be free from the world.

AQUARIUS – You will recover more quickly if you take control of the situation and begin to do the work that is needed for success. This is yours to do.

PISCES – Stop worrying about what other people are doing. It is enough for you to take care of yourself. Focus on your own needs for a change.

Teresa Sue McAdams, co-creator of “Today’s Journey Tarot”, co-author of “Today’s Journey Tarot, A Traveler’s Guide”, co-author of “Tarot Meditations, A Journal for Self-Discovery”, and author of “Lessons, The Wisdom Within Each Moment”

ARIES – Why not start something new? What are you waiting for? Jump right in and try some things you have wanted to do for a long time. Failure isn’t an option when you have nothing to lose. At least you will have tried, and if it doesn’t work out, you will still have made room for new dreams to manifest.

TAURUS – Overcome sadness or disappointment by thinking of others rather than yourself. Improve someone else’s life if there is nothing you can do right now to change your own and things will magically get better.

GEMINI – Your energy and creativity are very high right now. Use discernment to determine when a break is necessary, but for most of the month it will be about getting things caught up and in good shape. Others will admire your productivity.

CANCER – If you can’t move something out of your way, use it to your advantage. Everything isn’t always going to work out like you expect, but that doesn’t mean you have failed. Perhaps there is a better way that you haven’t considered yet. As long as you retain your integrity, nothing else matters.                                                                                                                                                             

LEO – The need may arise for you to go the opposite direction from someone you usually admire and agree with. This is not betrayal. It is growth. Just do it with kindness.  

VIRGO – Relationships seem to be at the forefront this month. It is likely that work will need to be done to improve or save an important relationship. Get your head out of the clouds and do what is necessary.  

LIBRA – Try to avoid drama this month. If not you could get drawn in unawares. It really is easy to do. Just say no, stay out of other people’s business and do not create drama in your own life. Hope for the best and wait for the drama to pass.

SCORPIO – It is a month where everything begins to come together. There are eureka moments when you understand and moments of clarity where you see clearly. You have arrived at a place where it is possible to successfully make your next move. Always take advantage of positive energy.

SAGITTARIUS – This is a good month to get a lot accomplished. Just don’t get so carried away in the effort that you lose some of the value of what you are doing and why. Everything we do has value and offers an opportunity to learn and grow.

CAPRICORN – Learn all you can about the direction you want to go. To manifest efficiently, it helps to know exactly what you want. How to get it will then be revealed.

AQUARIUS – September will be a good month for you to catch your breath. Make time to take time out before the hectic days return again. Whatever you do, be good to yourself, relax and just go with the flow for a little while. You have earned it.

PISCES – Balance in all things should be everyone’s motto. You may have been too much in your head of late. It is time to roll up your sleeves and play for a bit. New ideas and solutions to problems are more often found that way.
