April 2025
The Knight of Swords: The Knight of Swords charges in this month, bringing a surge of energy that may push you to take action. This is a month where you may feel ready to move fast and break through any obstacles that feel like they are in your way. While this energy is going to feel new, and maybe a bit overwhelming, you will benefit by surrendering into your urges in a mindful way. Do not rush into decisions without thinking them through, but don’t hold yourself back from taking baby steps!
The Sun’s entrance into Taurus on the 19th should help ground your mental energy, allowing you to balance the rush of inspiration with practical steps. Whether it’s a business collaboration or a personal connection, make sure that everyone you’re committing your time and energy to align with your values and future vision. Don’t take big leaps that don’t align with your desires (a.k.a. with no chance for reward). Filling voids with misaligned people is a waste of your time.
March 2025
Nine of Wands: Resilience is your key word this month, Cancer. The Nine of Wands suggests you may be feeling drained, but you are closer to success than you realize. Even though life might feel challenging or downright bleak right now, you are inching closer and closer to the life that you desire this month.
With Venus retrograde in Aries starting on March 1 and affecting your career and outward expression, old insecurities about your worth and ambitions may surface. But this month is offering you a big chance to redefine your professional path, just by betting on yourself. Don’t let past disappointments hold you back. Instead, stand firm and push through this discomfort into the next, new chapter of your life.
February 2025
Queen of Swords: February’s energy is pushing you to set clear boundaries and make decisive moves, especially in your financial or professional life this month. You may have been riding on autopilot lately, but your life is asking you to be more involved than ever before.
The Queen of Swords arrives and spotlights your resources, asking you to think critically about where you’re investing your time, money, and energy now. If you are operating out of low self-worth, it’s hard for high-value opportunities to find you! While the changes you’re making right now might feel tough, they’ll pave the way for long-term success and emotional freedom.
January 2025
Knight of Swords: This month propels you toward action, but the Knight of Swords reminds you to stay focused and intentional as you make moves. Venus in Pisces from the 1st will support you connecting with higher ideals and visions, which means it’s a great time to explore creative or spiritual pursuits.
The Cancer full moon on the 13th will also shine a light on your sense of self. You might feel an urge to release any outdated beliefs about your identity, and this is a good moment to cut through the noise and pursue what truly matters to you. Keep your goals sharp and let your determination carry you forward, but don’t forget to pause and recalibrate as needed throughout the month.
