Here's your tarot forecast for the week ahead. I am using two cards from the Smith Waite Centennial tarot deck for this reading.

Card 1: Ace of Cups - This card brings with it the promise of renewed emotional energy this week. You will find it easy to express emotions and exude positive feelings in general. This card bodes good luck in all matters of the heart and can indicate new beginnings, reconciliations and more openness in relationships.

You will find it easy to relate to people and be more accepting and forgiving of trivial differences. What matters to you at this time is showing your real side and giving people the freedom to express theirs. It's a great time to connect with and reach out to people without letting self-conscious thoughts restrict your true feelings.

Card 2: The Hierophant - This card symbolizes convention, tradition and affiliation to a higher social or religious order. It basically implies respect for conventional ways and letting yourself be guided by established processes rather than adhering to a more individualistic or radical philosophy.

This week you may find it easy to follow the tried and tested approach that has always delivered rather than try out something original. You may seek inspiration from people who seem veterans in a particular area or have had more experience and learning than you. You're eager to follow in their footsteps not just because it's easier but also because you genuinely feel it's the best approach.

This week, there is a realization that sometimes it's best to go with the flow rather than push yourself against the current. You understand that there's no harm in doing what you've always done. In taking a more passive, receptive stance to whatever the universe has to offer, you actually invite more abundance and stability into your life. Have a wonderful week!
