Sometimes there seems to be key themes that run through all the tarotscopes, for each of the element signs, and this month is one of them. Two crystals kept popping up as the perfect stones over and over, and that's why, this new lunar cycle, I'm prescribing everyone the same 2 stones. Read on to find out why you need Citrine and Jet.
Kerry Ward from Tarot Bella (and Cosmopolitans resident tarot card slinger) has consulted the cards to bring your monthly 'scopes. Kerry offers her guidance on how to work with the energy you may experience in this new moon cycle and I (Clare, of Bonearrow, first of her name, mother of jewels) write your prescription for the perfect crystals to balance your energy.

The twelve signs of the zodiac are categorised into four groups of three signs, each ruled by a particular element. Find your element below to read your tarotscope:
Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.
Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.
The signs ruled by each element are naturally compatible with each other, they ‘get’ each other and share similar values, attitudes and outlooks on life. Birds of a feather fly together. If your coven had a member from each zodiac sign, your other two element signs would be your best witches.
WATER Signs - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Page of Cups, Strength, Temperance
Harmony.
You are an emotional person and you have mood swings which others quickly learn to recognise and adapt to... but Temperance and Strength combine to show you settling in a much more centred way this month. You are going to feel grounded, secure, and surer of yourself than you have all year. Rein it in. Don’t overdo anything. Moderation is key. A little bit of everything, and none too much!
The Page of Cups reveals that this new sense of harmony will bring the best out of you, in all ways- your relationships, your work, your sense of peace, your health, your creativity especially. Letting go of overwhelming emotional responses to life allows you to live more contentedly, and to have a better analytical understanding of your circumstances and dynamics. Greater self-awareness will lead you towards more success and joy than you currently believe is possible to achieve.
Your Crystal Prescription: Citrine and Jet
Citrine is called the Stone of Success, and Jet is a powerful transformation stone, so if you have emotions you want to leave behind, and invite happiness and success into your life, this power combo is there for you! Jet is deeply protective and grounding (and helps you take control of your life AND balances mood swings!) so it can help you get back to your centre, ready to let the positive, invigorating energy of citrine boost you forward.
FIRE Signs - Leo, Sagittarius, Aries
King of Wands, Four of Coins, Four of Wands
Work progress.
A wonderful opportunity to get ahead in your professional life arises this month ahead, please don’t back away from it! The Four of Coins shows you’ve got stuck somehow, in your career. Possibly because of 2020 SHIT, no doubt, which has many of us in limbo. Well, change is coming. The Four and King of Wands hint at promotion, progress, greater scope and responsibility, an expansion of your ambitions and plans. You’re actually going to be able to make headway and get rewarded for your efforts. You might even take control and become your own boss this month. Kings are leaders and you ARE ready to take things to the next level. So, lean in and put yourself in opportunity’s pathway. Go for exciting openings. Make sure people with influence are seeing you. Have high hopes, be bold, expect better. Good things are coming your way.
Your Crystal Prescription: Citrine and Jet
Whenever anything career based comes up I always reach for citrine. It's positive, amplifying energy brings confidence, creativity and success and acts like a magnet for abundance and opportunity for you. Pair this with grounding, protecting Jet (a stone of transformation that is great for protecting businesses and stabilising finances too) and you'll feel well centred and ready for whatever comes your way.
EARTH Signs - Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus
The Magician, The Sun, King of Swords
Joy ahead.
Beautiful, blessed cards for you this month- The Sun and The Magician show that a glimmering portal of opportunity and good fortune is emerging in your world and you’ve just got to summon the confidence to walk through it, and find riches and rewards on the other side. The Magician hints that this is a self-driven venture, something you do using your unique talents and strengths. Maybe an entrepreneurial thing. Maybe a project or hobby. Maybe a plan to travel or move location. It comes from your own desires and ambitions, and you are in control of making it happen. Have faith and go for it! The King of Swords shows you should use your head here, make a strategy, break it down into steps, schedule them and then JFDI.
You don’t realise how close to a big breakthrough you are, or how fantastic things could be if you have the confidence to go for your heart’s desire. Make a plan and get on with it.
Your Crystal Prescription: Citrine and Jet
If you're looking for confidence and calling forth opportunity there couldn't be a better stone to arm yourself with that citrine. It's also known as 'The Success Stone' so if you are starting a new project or venture, having citrine on your side will attract good vibes and abundance. If you're feeling wary or fearful, then pair citrine with jet and let your worries wash away as jet turns any negative feelings you might have into positive vibes. Also, jet is a really good stone to protect businesses and stables finance! Perfect.
AIR Signs - Libra, Aquarius, Gemini
Seven of Wands, Queen of Wands, Seven of Swords
Action.
Something shady or negative which has attracted your attention (and angst) actually has the potential to galvanise you enormously, in a positive way. The Seven of Swords shows your embroilment in something which makes you feel bad. I wouldn’t normally encourage you to linger in such space but I feel it’s a catalyst for positive change. The Seven of Wands reveals a theme of rivalry or competition, perhaps you’re comparing yourself to a new norm and finding yourself lacking. It makes you feel bad, sure, but it’s a trigger to do something about it. So, do!
Queen of Wands is you taking control here, making steps, creating a plan-of-attack and executing your tactics to get back to the position you want to be in. Sometimes we get an honest look in the mirror and don’t like what we see… don’t just stay staring at it, do something about it!
Your Crystal Prescription: Citrine and Jet
Jet is a negative energy transmuter. That means it pulls bad vibes away from you and turns them into positive energy, a protective shield for your soul. Jet is also great for dispelling fear, and so, if you pair that with confidence-giving citrine that attracts good fortune and positivity, you can turn any situation around, Air Signs!
