Eight of Pentacles: This is a month to hone your skills and refine your craft, as Mercury’s journey through Aquarius should sharpen your focus until the 14th. The cards show you starting this month off clear and taking a stand for what you truly believe in—even if it rubs some other people the wrong way.

You aspire for excellence and are tenacious about going after your goals. You are sensitive. You appreciate the arts. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time for a reality check. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back.
