Leo Tarot Reading – Clarity, Strength, and Empowered New Beginnings
King of Swords (clarified by 5 of Wands & The Star)
This week begins with you needing clarity, fairness, and mental sharpness. There may be conflict (5 of Wands) around you—competition, misunderstandings, or power struggles—but you’re being asked to rise above it with wisdom and strategy, not ego. The Star suggests that staying calm, hopeful, and aligned with your higher purpose will help you cut through the noise. Truth and integrity are your best tools here.
Queen of Pentacles (clarified by Strength & Ace of Wands)
Midweek shifts into a grounded but empowering energy. The Queen of Pentacles shows you nurturing your stability, home, and finances. Strength (your card, Leo energy) suggests you’re balancing gentleness with inner power—leading through compassion instead of force. The Ace of Wands brings a spark of inspiration or new beginning—maybe a creative idea, fresh opportunity, or personal passion project. You’re being called to build something solid and exciting while holding onto your grace and self-respect.
10 of Swords (clarified by The Emperor & The Tower)
Toward the week’s end, something dramatic may reach a breaking point. The 10 of Swords can feel heavy—an ending, betrayal, or a painful truth coming to light. But with The Emperor and The Tower, this ending clears away instability and replaces it with structure, discipline, and authority. A false foundation is crumbling so that you can rebuild stronger. Though it feels harsh, it’s also liberating—empowering you to take back control.
Bottom of the Deck – 9 of Pentacles
The underlying theme is independence, self-worth, and enjoying the fruits of your efforts. Even if conflicts or endings arise this week, you’re moving toward greater self-sufficiency, refinement, and pride in your accomplishments. You’re stepping into your power, not relying on anyone else for validation.
Summary
This week tests your clarity and composure in the face of conflict, but also gifts you with creative inspiration and a chance to strengthen your independence. Something may end suddenly, but it’s clearing the path for a more stable and empowered foundation. Ultimately, you’ll land on your feet, more self-assured than before.
