Aries 03/21-04/19
Card: The Upright Seven of Cups
Keywords: Choice, Illusion, Desire
Knight's Statement: The competition in the labyrinth of love can never stop true movers.
Knight's Advice: This tarot card tells us that in the first month of 09, Aries friends may feel a sense of beautiful anticipation about the direction of future romantic relationships due to encounters with people or events around them that touch their emotional nerves. Exaggeratedly speaking, they all carry a strong sense of desire, regardless of whether you are currently single or in a relationship. This also fits the characteristics of the first fire sign. However, don't underestimate these feelings, because they don't appear out of nowhere. It will make Aries hesitate in their pursuit of love. Therefore, the knight suggests that for single friends, do not blindly jump into a relationship, as the disappointment after cooling down would even make those who are "good at forgetting pain" cautious. And for Aries already in a relationship, proceed carefully because choices are difficult to make. Everything must be weighed from a practical perspective when considering the options in front of you.
Taurus 04/20-05/20
Card: The Upright Five of Swords
Keywords: Opposition, Self, Pointless Victory
Knight's Statement: Giving way is also an art.
Knight's Advice: Even the strongest relationships can break due to your excessive control over what you perceive as the other person's extreme actions. This is what this card tells us about the important emotional issues Taurus needs to face in January 09. More importantly, it also tells us "the opposite is also true." No matter how annoying the other person's frequent probing actions might be, too much coercion and restriction, "forcefully" solving problems will only bring a greater storm after a short period of calm. How to balance the contradictions between you becomes the most important thing to keep this relationship going. Therefore, the knight suggests, first, insensitive Taureans should learn to be rational. Focusing too much on personal emotional gains and losses will only cause unnecessary energy loss. Second, compromise is not necessarily a bad thing, even though it looks unattractive and feels uncomfortable. If you must argue fiercely, this relationship might be on the brink of shattering. In the opposite situation, do not let the other person's authority overly pressure you.
Gemini 05/21-06/20
Card: The Reversed Strength
Keywords: Hesitation, Gray, Tyranny
Knight's Statement: Tigers also have times when they sleep and dream.
Knight's Advice: Feeling mentally exhausted about the current direction of the relationship and feeling lost about the destination of one's own love journey is what this Tarot card tells us about the important experiences Geminis will encounter in January 09. The usual positive attitude towards life suddenly disappears, and when dealing with emotional issues, you will feel powerless and unwilling to respond. This negative emotion and self-disturbance mostly come from the unique personality and inner influence of Gemini. But these few words do not mean that Gemini will fail completely in the first month of the year. All this has not hindered the brilliance and freedom of the emotional layer. Therefore, the knight suggests that if you lose interest in emotional issues, it doesn't matter, but do not ignore them and treat them with a domineering attitude, otherwise, you will move further away from the harmonious love life you hope for. As for what you adhere to, as long as it does not harm the other person's emotions, "slow waving flags and soft shouting" is also acceptable. As for passionate life, as long as it does not make you lose your rationality and shake your current life structure, it is fine.
Cancer 06/21-07/22
Card: The Upright Three of Wands
Keywords: Opportunity, New Field
Knight's Statement: New Year, New Scene
Knight's Advice: Compared to last month's divination, Cancer friends encounter the "three" again this month, just switched to the fire-related wand card. This card tells us that in January 09, many efforts in the emotional aspect of past days will see "blooming" progress this month. If you are still single, an occasional party or a fleeting meeting might lead to encountering someone you like or a soulmate who resonates with you in different spiritual domains. If you are already in a relationship with someone, this card also implies that you may have plans to travel with your partner this month. And your relationship will take a step towards the direction you consider beautiful. Therefore, the knight suggests, since the opportunity has come, do not let it slip away, similarly, planning for future emotional life should not be overlooked. Of course, there is another possibility, which is that you are already in a relationship but surprisingly discover another person who continuously fascinates you.
Leo 07/23-08/22
Card: The Reversed Eight of Cups
Keywords: Preparation, Joy
Knight's Statement: Happiness needs to be fought for by oneself.
Knight's Advice: This Tarot card tells us that in January 09, Leo friends find themselves at a crossroads in life, choosing between new and old patterns of emotional life becomes the focus. You are about to leave the territory that no longer interests you in your heart. This is not a subconscious hint, but an explicit instruction you give yourself due to your aspiration for a better future. It might be because of physical and mental fatigue from this relationship, or because of the frustration of being single while waiting helplessly and wandering during the transition between ending one stage of life and waiting for a new one to begin. For Leo friends in relationships, your relationship may have reached a relatively fragile stage position. From a deeper psychological perspective, you are ready to start anew. Although it is painful to switch roles in this relationship that means so much to you, you are prepared to move towards a new life. Therefore, the knight suggests that this month is not the best time for you to make a decision. If you have already made the "move piece" decision, be sure to weigh all the pros and cons afterward.
Virgo 08/23-09/22
Card: The Reversed Six of Wands
Keywords: Anxiety, Infidelity
Knight's Statement: Sometimes love doesn't look as beautiful as it is written in novels.
Knight's Advice: This Tarot card tells us that in January 09, Virgos may feel anxious and worried about the problems appearing in their current romantic relationships. These anxieties are actually more due to the innate perfectionist heart of Virgos. Therefore, the knight suggests, do not over-tension or put pressure on yourself, do not let subjective thoughts dominate your mind and lose the clear judgment you once had, even if you feel that the other person is not performing satisfactorily. Suspecting and passively dealing with problems will only make you more irritable and weaken the relationship. Don't forget, suspicion is an important source of betrayal. Be alert to yourself and do not make irrational decisions. Also, do not bring your anxious emotions into emotional problems. Remember, in the battle of love, there is no definition of the concept of "success". Too much truth-seeking heart will push you both onto a narrow path.
Libra 09/23-10/22
Card: The Upright Queen of Wands
Keywords: Attraction, Helpful
Knight's Statement: Opportunities do not come every day.
Knight's Advice: This Tarot card tells us that in the first month of 09, Libra friends may get involved in a passionate and intense emotional event, and due to this emotional turmoil, they will deeply reflect on how to face and plan the development and goals of future romantic relationships, as well as how to handle relationships. Events fall from the sky, but the person who brings you emotional impact not only fits the traits that Libras like, such as friendliness, elegance, appreciation for charm and sociability, but he is also someone whom you cannot resist no matter how hard you try according to previous experience. Because of this, this experience unconsciously pushes you into an unfamiliar emotional field. Therefore, the knight suggests, if you are currently single, this is a good opportunity for you. However, the Libra's habit of obstinately flipping back and forth when dealing with problems may make the relationship become rigid. Additionally, the habit of acting generously but ignoring the other person's requests needs to be carefully concealed.
Scorpio 10/23-11/21
Card: The Upright World
Keywords: Growth, Long Journey, Insight
Knight's Statement: Growth in the realm of love is not easy.
Knight's Advice: This Tarot card tells us that in January 09, Scorpios who already have partners will find in their current romantic relationship the things they have been looking for all along. Actually, you've always had it; it's just that different observation angles and thought positions prevented you from discovering it. Emotional issues left over from the past seem to be easily resolved this month, or you no longer regard them as problems. Regarding the direction of love development, all paths are clear in your mind. If you are still single, prepare for a trip or outing, or social activities, which may bring you some harvests. Know that the symbol of "unintentional success" is quite sufficient this month. Of course, it will also benefit those of you with lovers. Similarly, it also predicts that perhaps for the sake of love, you may follow a partner to a distant place and change your lifestyle significantly. Therefore, the knight suggests, now is the time to step into a new emotional field. Although Scorpios are relatively dominant in love relationships this month, think twice before making any decisions.
Sagittarius 11/22-12/21
Card: The Upright Knight of Swords
Keywords: Restlessness, Fearlessness
Knight's Statement: In love, it's not only important to know what you dislike, but also what you truly like.
Knight's Advice: Always feeling restless, unable to calm your heart, as if something is missing in your emotional world, you may have a feeling of constantly searching and longing for something indescribable, regardless of whether you are single or already in a romantic relationship with someone you admire. This is what this Tarot card tells us about the deepest feelings Sagittarians experience in January 09. Therefore, the knight suggests that Sagittarians, who are naturally extroverted, straightforward, and lack patience, need to be particularly careful this month, not to hurt sensitive people around you who want to approach you or are already with you due to your careless behavior. Those things you think are missing are more likely due to Sagittarians' overly idealistic personalities. Even if you are dissatisfied with your current romantic status, now is obviously not the right time for you to make changes. Calm down, wait for the right moment, listen carefully to your inner voice, figure out where your interests and desires lie, and then act. If you are still single at that time, the person you have been looking for will definitely appear.
Capricorn 12/22-01/19
Card: The Upright Knight of Pentacles
Keywords: Reliable, Sense of Responsibility
Knight's Statement: When you are unable to change the other person, besides separation, you can only accept.
Knight's Advice: Single Capricorns may meet a new friend. This person may be outstanding in their career and have a bright future, but they are someone who does not send flowers and does not know how to create romance. And for those Capricorns already in a romantic relationship, you may realize more clearly this month that your partner, although charming, is still not exactly what you truly want. Believe that you have already tried to change the other person, but the results were minimal. This is what this Tarot card wants to tell us about the emotional issues Capricorns will encounter in January 09. Therefore, the knight suggests, since you cannot change the details and personality traits of the other person that do not suit you, you might as well just accept them. Enjoy the different flavor they bring to your relationship. You will discover happiness and joy unlike before.
Aquarius 01/20-02/18
Card: The Reversed Ace of Cups
Keywords: Changeable, Unstable
Knight's Statement: Only a calm water surface can reflect an image.
Knight's Advice: This Tarot card tells us that in January 09, Aquarians in romantic relationships may experience some friction with their partners. Things always feel off. It could be due to impatience causing continuous collisions over trivial matters, or it could be due to Aquarians' recent excessive self-centeredness leading to the occurrence of problems. Therefore, the knight suggests balancing oneself and calming unstable emotions. Actually, the conflicts are not as deep as imagined. Perhaps you are focusing too much on your own feelings or simply neglecting the other person's feelings in terms of emotions. Life is beautiful, but you just haven't discovered it yet. Lack of energy, paying too much attention to details, and adopting radical methods to respond have caused thorny issues to grow rapidly between each other. You need to change and try to understand the other person's feelings and needs more.
Pisces 02/19-03/20
Card: The Upright Teacher
Keywords: Obedience, Orthodoxy
Knight's Statement: Love always seems like an inevitable path.
Knight's Advice: Returning psychologically to the conservative and orthodox path in terms of love views. Facing the two-person relationship, there is a slight sense of responsibility and duty in personal emotions. This is what this card tells us about the possible concerns Pisceans may encounter in their emotional lives in January 09. Despite the other person's habits or carelessness that hurts your feelings, ultimately, your inner core still adheres to the principles and beliefs of love itself. In fact, deep down, you more wish to receive guidance in life philosophy to overcome the current difficulties. Therefore, the knight suggests that when problems arise, the best way is to calmly think, eliminate interfering factors, and believe that intuition will guide you to find the way forward. Pisces is the last zodiac sign, a highly developed sign, and has a nature that likes introspection. Combined with its natural tendency to be sentimental, improving self-intuition ability and carefully thinking when encountering problems is the most important.
