Tarot - On the cards

Aries

20 MARCH – 20 APRIL

The Fool card is the ultimate new beginning card that says anything is possible. It also represents inner change usually as a response to an unexpected opportunity or a desire to find or rediscover your own identity. Trust your intuition and take that leap but whatever you do take a look down as you do. The drawback of this card is that there is a tendency to act impulsively and with a degree of immaturity. So guard against that. The Death card is significant in that there is change indicated and it also means that there is a door you need to close on a situation or relationship that is holding you back from finding happiness. It will be painful this loss but in the long run, it will free you. If you don’t close this door then new beginnings are not possible.
