Welcome to the first edition of the Nonchalant monthly tarotscopes, where we invite intuitive tarot reader, Fiona Fletcher Reid, to pull a card for your star sign.
Think of this as a monthly check-in with yourself, using the cards as a mirror to name the main energy present in your current situation. Read for your sun sign first, then your moon, and rising if you want a fuller picture. Sit with it or journal your thoughts, and remember – you always have free will to co-create your own reality.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
The Emperor: You’re standing your ground this month in terms of consistency and habit-forming. Others might say you are being too regimented or setting your standards too high, but you are driven by a passion that currently feels unstoppable. Harness that fiery energy for good, but make sure to create space for intuitive action and creative pursuits, too.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
The Sun: Everything is becoming clearer this month. New information is coming to light, which is allowing you to make decisions with confidence whilst also maintaining an optimistic outlook about your own potential. Don’t let anyone dim your shine this month. Instead, let your freak flag fly and know that you are attracting the people and opportunities that bring out the playfulness in you. Protect yourself from those who judge your authenticity.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Page of Cups: Surprise connections are making you pause and think this month. You’re not overly sensitive; you’re just learning to trust your intuition and your ability to sense energies that no one else picks up on. Be wary of anyone who is trying to cross personal boundaries or build a false sense of intimacy too soon. Trust your instincts and keep your distance. The truth will be revealed.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
The Star: Emotions are running high this month, so you may feel as though you’re acting out of control. But all these big feelings are expanding your capacity for what’s to come, making you stronger as well as happier in the long run. Bouncing between the highs and lows is an initiation that will reveal big lessons and realisations. Be near water to allow the wisdom to flow through you and cleanse what needs to be released.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Three of Wands: It’s time to get out of your own way and accept that there is no perfect time for you to embark on your passion project. You’ve been circling this for a while now, and you know that it’s not just a passing phase. Try creating a personal manifesto or focusing on an image that reminds you of what you’re working towards, allowing this to be your North Star. This is just the beginning.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
The Hierophant: Sometimes you just have to sit tight and wait for it to be your turn. This month, you’re playing the game, waiting patiently for the tables to turn in your favour. You might find yourself having to do things that you really resent this month, but try to zoom out and see how it will pay off in the long run. Bite your tongue and hold the faith.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Temperance: Subtle changes are happening in your favour this month, even if they don’t seem like they are positive at first glance. Resist the urge to catastrophise and instead, figure out how your current situation can be used to your advantage. You’ve always been a powerful problem solver, so put your thinking cap on and prove them all wrong.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Queen of Cups: People and projects are draining your energy this month, and it’s your job to replenish that energy. Fill up your cup by grounding yourself in the physical. Hug a tree, go wild swimming, remember what it feels like to honour the animal in you. This will release the energetic residue left by others and give you the balance you need.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The Moon: You’re feeling left in the dark this month, and so you may be feeling a little more vulnerable than you’d like. Lean into the emotions that are bubbling up by alchemising them into art, poems, or simply screaming into the void. No one is coming to save you, but the darkness will end, and you’ll come out brighter than before.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
King of Wands: All the time you spent plotting and planning is coming to fruition. The task this month is to lean back into that energy and receive all the blessings that are coming in, without meddling with them or rejecting them as too good to be true. Not all victories have to be won as a result of a battle — take a rest and enjoy your successes.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
The High Priestess: You’re being called to listen deeply to the quiet voice you’ve been ignoring. The whispers that tell you someone isn’t to be trusted, the gut feeling signalling that the path you’re on isn’t quite right. Not everyone gets these intuitive nudges, so you’re being asked to respect them by trusting and investigating the inner wisdom. Stop denying your soul’s wisdom.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Eight of Wands: Things are moving fast this month, so make the most of the momentum that is rippling through all areas of your life. Try not to overthink things, go with your instincts and make fast decisions when you’re able, as this fertile energy will slow down later in the year. For now, say yes to the opportunities that excite you and trust that the next steps will become clear.
