January Tarotscopes ~ 2021
The candle is lit, sacred space cleansed, hands washed and ready to dive into this deck to bring you a magical message. It’s time to see what the Universe has in store for you this month to kick off the new year!
January beginnings in the thick of Capricorn season. This planning, goal setting and best self mindset energy all stems from the seagoat strategically plotting their course through the cosmos. Use this time to hash out some projects you can complete regardless of what’s going on out in the world at large. Focus on inner work and doing things that bring you peace, joy and creative inspiration.
As we move forward after the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, things have been a little more interesting to navigate. Aquarius energy plays a major role in 2021, promising another wild ride. It’s not quite like the chaos of 2020, but be prepared for more heavy lifting, systemic breakdowns + breakthroughs and a good bit of starting from scratch.
Around the 20th of the month, the sun enters Aquarius. Aquarius energy is a lot like lightning—sudden and unpredictable. It strikes wherever it wants with little to no concern for how it effects things around it. This is a collective call to action for change, and I’m here for it. Pack light and prepare for another bumpy ride! There’s a lot more work to do, so make sure to toss in your gloves and supportive footwear.
Scroll down to see what the cards have in store for you. Remember to read for your Sun, Moon and Rising signs to get a well rounded outlook for the month ahead.
ARIES ~ THE TOWER
We know you run hot, but you don’t always have to use that energy in a negative way. The Tower suggests some destruction and conflict. Save the drama for your mama, Aries, and turn this energy towards something constructive. Think of it as a way to tear down the walls you’ve built around your heart keeping others out and making you lonely. Use it to destroy those bad habits that need their own Demo Day. Let the conflict be internally with your self-esteem and your insecurity. Rewrite your narrative. Completely reconstruct your inner dialogue to suit the goals you set for yourself and your personal growth in 2021. Some confrontations are good.
TAURUS ~ ACE of SWORDS
With a swish of your sword, the smoke clears and this bright, shiny beam of guiding light illuminates the next few steps along your path. Step into the new year with confidence! You know what you need and what you want to make things happen. That brain sloshing around in your head is going to be working overtime to crank out valuable solutions to last year’s problems. Use this sword to slash through any overgrown bullshit getting in the way. Cut through the red tape and get straight to the point. Be concise with your witty words and the response will come quickly. You’ve totally got this, Taurus.
GEMINI ~ JUDGEMENT
What a perfect card to start the year as a, Gemini! We know you know it all, Gem, but right now you’re on top of things. The absolute certainty about your goals matched up with the conviction and dedication of the Judgement card are a dynamic duo just like your twin-like personality. Resolve to stay in your lane and let others do their own thing. You’ll move faster when you stop involving other people in your business right now. You do you, and you’ll be there before you know it. If you’re one who likes to set resolutions, try on ‘work on one thing at a time.’ I know you just grimaced, but believe it’s possible. I think you’ll like the outcome.
CANCER ~ EIGHT of CUPS
Cancer, you’ve pulled the perfect card, too! You might not feel totally ready for change, but change is gonna come regardless. It’s time to leave behind everything that’s been weighing you down. You get a fresh start, not just because you’ve been busy changing up your environment, but emotionally and mentally those outward changes will be transforming your inner world. Keep decluttering and cleaning out the chaotic corners of your world. ‘Out with the old, in with the new’ is your mantra this month. Take some time to take stock after you clear some space. Breathe into the space and let it tell you what it needs. Leave it empty or stick a plant there, but don’t try to fill it back up because it feels bare. You need room to grow. Let it be.
LEO ~ PAGE of WANDS
Look at you, Leo! Confident and excited as always, but maybe a little extra this month. We’re here for it. Be open to receiving some big news that’ll totally shake things up—in a good way. I know you’ve been bummed out with all the bad stuff happening in the world, but use this boost to encourage others by being your infectious, upbeat self. Use some of that high energy to cheer people on who are having a hard time. Help out any way you can to lift spirits and make your heart happy. We know you pride yourself on other’s positive opinions of you. Reming them why they love having your in their life.
VIRGO ~ NINE of CUPS
Virgo, your cup runneth over this month. Cheers to 2021! You’re toasting to more joy and more naps this year. You’re celebrating a feeling of coming home to yourself. Embrace the things you used to feel a bit uncomfortable accepting about yourself. Love the life you live is a bit cliche, but it’s who you are right now. The holidays truly did bring you comfort and joy, and maybe a few too many cookies. Love every bit of yourself even if your cup isn’t the only thing running over. Make some healthy choices and indulge in emotional goodies instead of things for your sweet tooth this month.
LIBRA ~ STRENGTH
Look. At. You. GO, Libra! Damn, you’re gettin’ it this month. This dynamite willpower is unstoppable, helping you conquer your goals and making your to-do list your bitch. No obstacle is too complex for your masterful abilities right now. Keep getting shit done while you have so much momentum behind you. We know it only comes in waves, so ride it as long as you can before you reach dry land. Use discipline to work through the really hard stuff first. This way you can take advantage of the snowball effect to keep things rolling until you get your next boost of energy. Don’t let anything get in your way. Tunnel vision is a very powerful tool right now. Go after exactly what you want. Once you make up your mind, it’s already yours!
SCORPIO ~ KING of WANDS
Well, well, well. If it isn’t Scorpio yielding a big stick, flashing that sly grin and maybe bending the rules to get their way this month. It’s not a good look to take advantage of people, so make sure they’re on board before giving it more gas. Use that charisma to lead valiantly, not violently. We see that stinger and large pinchers, but you also have a delicate way about you too. Stand tall and be a guiding light instead of gaslighting others. Instead of trying to poke and prod someone to get what you want, why don’t you try doing it yourself, or just ask really nicely for help. You get more flies with honey, Scorp.
SAGITTARIUS ~ NINE of WANDS
Yikes, Sagittarius! You got your turn a few weeks ago. Now it’s time to give everyone some room and step away slowly. You don’t like feeling like a burden, so don’t get defensive if someone asks you to back off. These 9 wands might look a lot like nunchucks whirling towards you. Duck and cover, but don’t run away. As threatening as this card can be, it’s also about being tenacious and that means standing your ground when things get tough. Use this time to observe your surroundings and establish some boundaries instead of trying to interfere with whatever anyone else has going on. And don’t get all bent out of shape if things don’t go your way this month. Be proactive. Play offense, not defense and you’ll get through January unscathed.
CAPRICORN ~ TEN of WANDS
Well, Cap, I wish I had better news, but it looks like more of the usual for you. You’re schlepping a heavy load around laden with what feels like more responsibilities than usual. The burden you carry isn’t only yours. Also typical, but don’t make it a habit if you want that to change. You can use this time to map out your new boundaries and carry things to your own self imposed finish line. Set things down there and invite anyone who wants to move forward with you to pick up their bags and keep things moving forward. We know you like to feel important and needed, but we also know it really bugs you when everyone relies too heavily on you and you get resentful. Don’t let it get that far this time. Resolve to delegate your unreasonably long to-do list. Dole out those duties and take full responsibility for what YOU have to do for yourself. Let everyone else fend for themselves for a while. You have your own work to get done.
AQUARIUS ~ TEN of PENTACLES
It’s a beautiful sight when everything comes together, and this month you’ll get the chance to see that happen. You’ve been putting in the time and energy to make things happen. Mix, pour, smooth, let dry, repeat. The foundation is finally being set for some MAJOR growth in your world, Aquarius! That’s Great Conjunction flipped a switch in you and it’s time to activate this untapped potential to really make a go at your dreams, goals, and plans. Things are percolating, and you’re brewing up something fabulous! Don’t try too hard. Be sincere and show up as your truest self. Invite the people you care about to join you on this journey. It takes more than one cornerstone to build something great. Seek solid ground so things don’t sink if you’re just getting started. Remember to be yourself. Get back to your roots if you’ve been feeling doubtful, unsure or lonely.
PISCES ~ THE WORLD
Would you look at that glorious card. You’ve got the whole world in your hands, Pisces. Get ready from some major changes this month. Take a few steps back and look at this masterpiece in front of you. The world is your oyster and it’s time to use those pearls of wisdom to really enjoy yourself this month. Revel in a sense of completion as 2020 ends. It feels good when things are finished. Close that book and put it on the new shelves you put up to store all your prized possessions on for the tiny and mighty victories you’ll be winning this year. Really study this big picture while it’s in focus. This is a gift that doesn’t come often. Take notes and remember the details in the places you find intricacies clouding the view. You’re about to cover some serious ground in 2021. If you only get one chance to learn the map, you better hope for a photographic memory. You’re going to be so busy, you won’t have a chance to look backwards. It’s ok. You’re not going that way anyways…
