Pentacles and Cups rule our lives this week, which suggests that emotions are running high and we too distracted by the physical aspects of life to deal with it. Let us remember the most important things in life and learn to curb our materialistic tendencies.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Two of Pentacles (Reversed)
When life threatens to throw things of balance, it's important to re-evaluate your priorities in order to get things back to a manageable level. If you've been working too hard (or not hard enough) for example, think about where best you could move your focus.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The Emperor
This is a card of wisdom, stability, contentment and authority. You're at a point where you feel more in control of your life than ever and you have the ability to decide what happens next. Don't waste this new-found confidence; feelings of uncertainty may well show themselves again.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Three of Pentacles (Reversed)
Working as part of a team isn't always easy, but in your case it's the best route to success. Sometimes you feel like you would rather get on with things alone than have to deal with other people not pulling their weight, but perseverance and patience is key.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The Empress (Reversed)
When she's upright, The Empress is all about fertility and creativity, but as soon as she's flipped on to her head, she represents something of creative block, or an inability to move forward with a project. In her literal sense, she can spell problems with fertility or pregnancy.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
King of Pentacles (Reversed)
If things aren't quite as financially stable as usual, be wary of over-indulgence as a comfort. Money isn't everything and your time is best served working harder, staying humble and saving what you have.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Strength
With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in Virgo right now, it's safe to say that Strength is the card you need right now. All sorts of things are happening in your life, and you need to be prepared to deal with any challenges that may arise.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
King of Cups
You are something of a master of your emotions right now, Libra. You are in control of your relationships and ready to form new alliances; something you are generally rather good at. At the same time you are showing music compassion and a lack of fear with regards to emotional issues.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Queen of Pentacles
The Queen of Pentacles is a motherly figure concerned with keeping the perfect home and communing with nature and animals. She's family-focused and willing to put in the hard work to create a stable and comforting world for herself and her family. You are channeling her in plentitude this week, Scorpio.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
The Chariot
Sagittarians are generally very driven thanks to their optimism and love of adventure, and you are certainly in your element right now. If opposing forces are at work, you are doing a good job as a peacemaker, and you have the skill and courage to forge ahead with whatever you want to do regardless of the roadblocks that may lay ahead.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Knight of Pentacles (Reversed)
We all get bored of life sometimes, Capricorn, but sometimes it only takes a bit of self-discipline in getting the difficult bits out of the way before you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. Or perhaps you have too much self-discipline? There's nothing wrong with perfectionism, but don't let it get in the way.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Eight of Cups (Reversed)
It's an emotional time for you right now as you find yourself trapped between two choices; either walking away from a situation that has only brought you disappointment, or trying again to make it work. It's not always easy to make the right choice but you have to listen to your heart on this one.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Four of Cups (Reversed)
If you're feeling dissatisfied with what life has to offer right now, it might be time to take some time out for reflection and introspection. Be careful not to shut out those who love you though - time alone is good for you, but accepting help when it's needed is better.
