Tarot for the Collective


Hello my friends, and welcome to the Tarot Forecast for the week ahead. As we build towards the second (Blue) Full Moon of May on the 31st, this Full Moon in Sagittarius softly closes the portal we opened with the Full Moon on May 1st. We can now gather together the lessons, the bravery, and the perseverance that has carried us through this month, and with May’s Anchor card, Judgement, guiding the bigger theme of awakening and honest self-review, this is a powerful moment to release what no longer serves and step forward with confidence and fresh opportunity. What adventure awaits?

2 of Cups

The 2 of Cups invites us back into harmony, connection, and mutual understanding. As the Sag Full Moon energy builds, this card reminds you that perseverance doesn’t have to be a solitary effort. Support and collaboration are part of your path forward. Conversation that comes from the heart is important too, so this week, look for where an emotional truth wants to be spoken with kindness, or where a relationship (romantic, friendship, family, or even your relationship with yourself) is ready to be renewed on healthier terms. Under Judgement, you may recognise which bonds are truly reciprocal and which are maintained out of habit. Choose the connections that come with authenticity, and let the rest gently fall away.


Affirmation: I honour connections that are mutual, respectful, and true.


The Empress

The Empress is your reminder that growth needs nurturing, not force. She brings fertile, abundant energy and asks you to tend to what you’re creating in your life at this time with patience and devotion. As Sagittarius expands your horizons, The Empress keeps you grounded in the body and the present moment. She leads with the nourishment, beauty, and pleasure, and it’s important to note that these aren’t distractions, but the fuel that keeps us running. When did you last return to your own inner sanctuary? Reflect on how you’re nourishing yourself this week. Ignore the ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ and allow your heart to be heard. Under Judgement, you are also being called to release old stories of scarcity, unworthiness, or rushing to the finish to prove your worth. Root your next steps in self-trust and self-love, because when you care for yourself well, your growth expands.


Affirmation: I am worthy of ease, nourishment, and abundant growth.


10 of Cups

The 10 of Cups is a promise of peace. After all your effort, this card speaks of fulfilment, joy, and belonging. This is kind of happiness that comes when your inner world and outer world begin to match. As we approach the Sag Full Moon, reflect on what ‘enough’ feels like for you, and release the urge to keep chasing a moving finish line. Under Judgement, this card also indicates a lovely coming home to yourself, where you choose what aligns with your values and your future self without apology or shrinking. Celebrate what you’ve achieved this month, even if it’s one small step or an action that went unseen. Joy is not something you earn, it’s something you allow to fill you heart and soul. And the more of it you let in, the more it grows!


Affirmation: I allow myself to receive joy, peace, and wholehearted belonging.



Journal Prompts

  1. Where am I being called to choose reciprocity, and what would it look like to treat myself with the same devotion?

  2. What am I ready to release as this May portal closes, so I can step into the Sag Full Moon feeling lighter and more confident?

  3. If I trusted that joy is safe for me, what would I allow myself to create, accept, or say yes to next?



This week’s Tarot Forecast forms a lovely arc from heart-to-heart connection (2 of Cups), into deep nourishment and self-trust (The Empress), and finally into emotional fulfilment and peace (10 of Cups). With Judgement anchoring the month, we’re closing a chapter with honesty and grace, keeping what is true and releasing what isn’t. Let the Sag Full Moon expand your courage, your vision, and your willingness to receive. As always, take what resonates, and leave aside what doesn’t!  The tarot forecast takes a break next week for the June bank holiday. I’ll be back on the 8th.



If you feel called to explore what you’re releasing, what you’re ready to claim, or where your next opportunity is waiting, you’re warmly welcome to book a reading with me. Sometimes a little guidance helps you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a more open heart.
