Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): The Chariot tells you to make quick decisions, Strength tells you to use soft power, and Temperance tells you to keep a steady pace. Set a goal, then move forward. Be careful not to burn out or overcommit.
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): The Hierophant likes rituals, the Hermit gets better in silence, and the Emperor builds a humane structure—routines that let you breathe and break up rigidity and perfectionism.
Air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius): The Magician wants clear messages, Justice wants fair limits, and The Star wants hope in action. Share it so that people don’t get mixed signals or feel like they’re not connected.
The Moon guides intuitive pacing, Death supports release, and The High Priestess trusts inner knowing. For water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), feel it and then act to stop clinging or avoiding.
Pinch, punch, first of the month—and this year’s February comes with a clear promise: reset, not overhaul. This week, readers of a London tarot circle said that the day’s spread was a clarifier, a push to accept one small change instead of trying to completely change everything. Tarot is like a trusted source in the news: it won’t write your story, but it will point out the line you’re burying. Below is a brief for each sign, based on archetypes that have stood the test of time. This is your editor’s note from the cards: short, to the point, and ready for your next draft of the year.

Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are fire signs.
The Chariot is your card, Aries, and the short version is to go with the flow instead of thinking about things. Pick one choice you’ve been putting off—a pitch, a proposal, or a personal request—and move it forward by one clear step. A reader in London told us that an Aries client sent a two-sentence email that got them a meeting they had been putting off for weeks. Begin where your feet are and steer with purpose. If you see a diversion, don’t see it as a loss; see it as data. The card rewards both speed and course correction.
Strength crowns you, Leo, and it asks for courage through self-control. Use soft power: a calm voice in a heated conversation, a big change to a coworker’s draft, or an apology that makes things clear. In a Shoreditch circle, a Leo used empathy to soften a pitch and get people to agree, which had been blocked by bravado before. Today, being gentle doesn’t mean being weak; it means being convincing. Your presence sets the mood in a room, so be careful how you do it.

Sagittarius, Temperance asks you to accept pacing. Mix big goals with small, long-lasting actions: space out your launches, set aside time in your calendar, and balance your drive with rest. Today, holding back will help you reach your goals tomorrow. A freelancer in Manchester did a case study: after a week of working in 90-minute blocks instead of marathons, their mood and output improved. When you take care of the wick, your fire stays bright.
Pros: Clear moves, a warmer impact, and long-lasting growth.
Problems: rushing the turn, being too eager for the spotlight, and overcommitting.
“Set your sights, then move forward.”
Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are Earth signs.
Taurus, led by The Hierophant, loves rituals and frameworks they can trust. Today, a morning routine, advice from a mentor, or a classic playbook will get you further than something new. To see your next move clearly, stand on the shoulders of tradition. One editor in Bristol swears by a Thursday template to clear up admin work. It’s repeatable, reliable, and quietly freeing. Your steadiness isn’t boring; it’s worth money.
Virgo, The Hermit says that being alone can help you become more refined. Set aside an hour for a careful review: clean up your systems, cut down on tasks, and polish the paragraph that other people skim. Your sharpener is silence. A quick technical check of file names, folders, and filters can save you hours later. You’re not backing down; you’re adjusting, trading noise for nuance so that your next move hits the mark.
Capricorn, under The Emperor, see structure as a service, not a prison. Make a simple three-level plan with things you need to do right away, things you need to do in the next week, and a big goal that will shape the next month. Leadership is making logistics more human. A strategist from Westminster told me that their team stays calm when everyone is on the same page about their duties. Use your authority to make the way clear and possible for everyone involved.
Pros: Dependability, clarity, and momentum that builds over time.
Pitfalls: being too perfect, not being able to change, and micromanaging.
“Routines that breathe” is the watchword.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are Air Signs.
The Magician tells you to embrace focused communication, Gemini. One message, one group of people, one result. When you are clear, the world responds in kind. That means picking the right medium: a voice note for subtleties, an email for audit trails, and a call for speed. A publicist in Birmingham told me that a single, well-framed sentence cut the time it took to finish a project by days. Your intelligence is a tool; your craft is clarity.
Libra and Justice both believe in fair limits. Balance isn’t something that happens on its own; it’s something that needs to be adjusted. Set a price for your time, spell out your terms, and write down yes or no. Your own calendar is where equity starts. A simple rate sheet or house style guide will help avoid problems in the future. You’re not being hard to read; you’re being clear, and people respect what they can read.
