Welcome to the April 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.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Five of Pentacles: This month may feel like a bit of an emotional slog, so give yourself grace as you process all the heavy stuff that you’ve been forced to face with lately. This stage is about being tender with your body as well as your psyche, so surround yourself with the people who can honour and support those needs.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Four of Cups: There is a lot to be thankful for this month, but you’re struggling to feel it because you’re so fixated on what you’ve lost. The relationship that ended, the friendship that is teetering on the edge, it’s time now to allow that sadness to come to the surface, so that the past can stay where it belongs. Focus your energy on the people who light up when you enter the room.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Nine of Pentacles: The things you’ve been working hard on for a very long time are finally coming to fruition. Make time to really bathe in the glory of all the things you’ve achieved, not just this month, but in this life. Zooming out to see that big picture will help level up your confidence.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
The Magician: Everything is springing into action this month. The ideas that have been brewing over winter are now actually coming to life, and the lost connections are circling back with new offers and opportunities. Don’t let your imposter syndrome stop you from taking a chance on yourself. You worked hard for this.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
King of Wands: You’re feeling strong and stable in your creative work this month, but is that a good thing? There is a risk that you could be repeating old habits and frameworks to keep things ticking over, but this is taking you further away from your more intuitive abilities. Try a new hobby or take a trip to shake things up and get inspired.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Queen of Pentacles: You are unlocking your power this month, and seeing how fast your manifestations can become a reality when you lock in and nurture your personal energy first and foremost. Don’t get too smug, though. This all hinges on your ability to recognise the abundance you already have, so be sure to express gratitude for the things that matter most.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Three of Wands: The path ahead is unknown, and that feels scary for you at the moment. But could you reframe that and see the upside of not knowing how things will turn out? Sometimes the universe has a better plan than anything you could imagine. Take the more adventurous path, and find out for yourself.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Nine of Wands: You’re at the tail end of an exhausting mental and emotional period. It might feel like things are getting worse, but you’re being asked to hang on just a little bit longer, and you’ll be rewarded with rest and a little win. You are closer to a breakthrough than you realise. Rest and refuel. Lick your wounds.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Ace of Cups: There is a new love entering your life this month, and it’s your job to move closer to the people and places that make you feel seen and accepted. Be careful, though, as that doesn’t necessarily mean swiping on Tinder – it could just as likely be related to nurturing the relationship you have with yourself, instead.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Two of Pentacles: That new project you started is up and running, but the task now is to find a sense of balance that will make it sustainable in the long term. It may involve a bit of strategic thinking, as well as seeking support from others who have already been in your shoes. Remember this is your project, and your ideas – see them through to fruition, but keep it fun.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Queen of Swords: Your words hold real weight this month, so be mindful of what you say, how you say it, and who is listening. People value your opinion and look to you for clarity when things are confusing, but that doesn’t mean you always have to speak. Think about your influence and how you want to use it.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Page of Cups: Weird coincidences are popping up this month to show you that although it’s nice to have plans, having complete control isn’t ever possible, or desirable. Say yes to the random invitations, wear the slutty little hat, and show the universe that you are ready for unexpected encounters.
