Your Weekly Tarot Reading for December 1–December 7, 2024: Hope, Optimism, Expansion and Vision
Happy December loves! It’s the final month of the year and it begins with a beautiful new moon in Sagittarius providing a fresh start imbued with optimism. Wherever you set your intentions at the moment, do so with hope and a sense of adventure. Expand your horizons by dreaming beyond what you previously thought possible and stretching beyond your comfort zone through your desires. It might be the last few weeks of the year, but the possibilities are limitless, just like you.
Our intuitively pulled cards encourage us to slow down and create space for ourselves with a focus on self care. When our attention is always elsewhere, it’s easy to neglect our own care and needs. Give yourself a little more this week by easing into comfort, listening to your intuition, and letting go of anything that’s holding you back or weighing you down. Take care of yourself, and keep moving forward with grace, ease, and compassion.
Read on for your Tarotscopes imbued with cosmic wisdom and insight into the week ahead. Happy new moon and blessed December!
Aries: The Empress Reversed
Focus on yourself, Aries. With so many responsibilities on your shoulders and so much to take care of for others, it’s important to consider when was the last time you did something just for yourself? If any of your needs or interests have gone unnoticed or neglected, then this is your opportunity to prioritize your own self care.

Taurus: Six of Cups
Create a sense of comfort, Taurus. If everything is feeling chaotic this week, then this is your invitation to soothe yourself through what feels familiar. Everyone else’s drama doesn’t really require your input. Stay home, get cozy, and put your phone on Do Not Disturb to tune out the outside world and focus on your own care.
Gemini: The Wheel of Fortune Reversed
Keep it moving, Gemini. If you feel stuck in your current situation, then it’s time to make some significant changes to alleviate those stagnant feelings! Change is hard, but it’s always necessary, and resisting temporary discomfort is never worth it. Identify what needs to shift and place your focus there.
Cancer: The Moon
Listen to your intuition, Cancer. If something in your gut is telling you to stay away from a certain person or situation, why wouldn’t you pay attention to that feeling?! You are clearly picking up on something that is off, so save yourself a world of potential trouble and just go about your business elsewhere.

Leo: Strength
Push through self doubt, Leo. Some unexpected obstacles appear in your path this week, but it’s nothing to worry about because you have been here before! Sometimes we can benefit from the reminder of how capable we are to accomplish anything we put our minds to, and this is yours. You’ve got this.
Virgo: The Hierophant
Stick to the tried and true, Virgo. Life is too hectic at the moment to try a new approach in accomplishing what needs to get done in your day to day routine. The tools you utilize might feel a bit boring, but if you know it works, then why would you change it right now?
Libra: Nine of Cups Reversed
Is this what you wanted, Libra? Some situations sound better in our minds than when the actual reality arrives. Perhaps you missed something when you were merely fantasizing, but now it’s here and it’s not exactly what you wanted. It’s ok to let it go in favor of something else.

Scorpio: Ten of Wands Reversed
Release the burden, Scorpio. When you say yes to everything, at some point, it’s going to catch up to you, and this week presents that time. Something has to give, and it shouldn’t be your sanity! Take something off of your plate before you completely lose it.
Sagittarius: Knight of Pentacles
Remain persistent, Sagittarius. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to, but even with hard work and determination, sometimes it can take some time to see the results. Don’t lose hope, but pay attention to the signs of gradual progress in order to stay motivated. Slow and steady is your new mantra.
Capricorn: Ace of Pentacles
Be open to something new, Capricorn. An exciting opportunity is coming your way, encouraging your personal growth as well as the capacity to make some more money. It requires more responsibility and there is some risk involved, but anything that encourages expansion is going to be a bit uncomfortable at first. Don’t be afraid to embrace it. Just go for it with this one!

Aquarius: Five of Cups
Keep moving forward, Aquarius. Your current situation isn’t easy, but in order to feel better, you must let go of what’s bringing you pain. Healing isn’t linear, and some days will be more emotional than others, but there’s always the potential for a brighter tomorrow. Show yourself compassion as you ride the waves towards your new beginning.
Pisces: Eight of Cups
It’s ok to leave, Pisces. What does it look like when you put yourself and your needs first? Constantly contorting yourself to satisfy the desires of others without getting what you want in return is downright exhausting. Face the facts: if something isn’t working, it’s time to just end it.
