Tarot Texts™ for Aries: Messages to Send This Week
Anecdote: One tiny, honest text shifted a sticky week more than any long talk. When the cards set the tone, the message lands softer—and faster.
TL;DR for Aries
- Pull fast: 3 cards—Theme, Action, Message.
- Send short: under 35 words, one ask, no hedging.
- Adjust by orientation: Upright = green light; Reversed = soften, add a question, or suggest a micro-step.
- Timing: Send within the next 24 hours; follow up in 72 if needed.

How to pull your mini-spread (60 seconds)
- Shuffle while asking: “What’s the most helpful message I can send this week?”
- Draw three cards: Theme (the vibe), Action (your move), Message (tone/words).
- Note upright vs reversed. Upright = direct; Reversed = gentle, curious, or delayed ask.
Message #1 — Connection (love, friends, collabs)
If your Theme card feels open (e.g., Two of Cups, The Sun, Three of Wands):
Copy-paste: “Hey—thinking of you. I’d love a small plan this week (coffee or a 20-min call). What day suits you best?”
Micro-ask option: “Two options: Wed eve or Sat late morning?”
If the Theme is delicate or reversed (e.g., Five of Cups ℞, Temperance ℞):
Copy-paste: “I value our connection and want to get this right. Is now a good time for a short reset chat, or should we pick a calmer day?”
Boundary-friendly: “No pressure—happy to give space and check back Friday.”
Queer-inclusive example (neutral they/them, new crush):
“Hi—last convo felt easy and I’d like to see you again. Want to try that gallery this week? If not, we can keep it light and text check-ins.”
Message #2 — Work & money (pitches, rates, clarity)
Upright momentum (e.g., Three of Pentacles, The Chariot, Eight of Wands):
Copy-paste: “Quick check: I can deliver X by date. Would you like Option A (lean version) or Option B (full scope)? I’ll lock the plan this afternoon.”
Reversed or foggy (e.g., Seven of Cups ℞, Page of Swords ℞):
Copy-paste: “To avoid crossed wires, can we confirm scope in 3 bullets? I’ll mirror back in writing and start once we both sign off.”
Rate nudge (confidence without edge):
“Based on the added items, the updated fee is $$. If budget is tight, I can trim to the essentials—want me to propose a lean edit?”
Message #3 — Self & healing (you to you, or to a close ally)
Upright self-leadership (e.g., The Emperor, Strength):
To yourself (journal or text a buddy): “I’m choosing one bold action today and one repair. I’ll report back by 8pm.”
Reversed tenderness (e.g., Four of Swords ℞, The Hermit ℞):
Copy-paste to your support person: “I’m low-battery but showing up. Can we have a 10-min focus call at 6pm to set two calm goals?”
Fine-tune by your third card (Message position)
- Cups: lead with feeling + consent to pace. Ask one open question.
- Pentacles: lead with specifics (time, budget, deliverable). Offer two clear options.
- Wands: lead with energy + invitation. Suggest a quick start or micro-plan.
- Swords: lead with clarity + summary. Confirm in writing.
Timing nudges (this week)
- Send #1 (Connection) within 24 hours of your pull—emotion clarity fades fast.
- Send #2 (Work) in your personal “high-focus hour.” If reversed cards appear, move it to tomorrow morning and draft now.
- Send #3 (Self) immediately; schedule the check-in message before you forget.
Upright vs Reversed — Quick Decoder
Use these as tone dials. Upright: direct, decisive. Reversed: curious, gentle, or stepwise.
Card | Upright cue → sample opener | Reversed cue → sample opener |
---|---|---|
The Magician | Capability, green light → “I can take the lead on X—shall I?” | Scattered tools → “I can help, but let’s confirm what matters most first?” |
Two of Cups | Mutuality → “I’d like to see you—coffee this week?” | Uneven energy → “Is this week good for a short check-in, or next?” |
Temperance | Blend & balance → “Two options that fit us both—A or B?” | Overmixing → “Let’s simplify. What’s the one thing that would help now?” |
Eight of Wands | Fast lane → “Quick update + next step?” | Delays/logistics → “I’ll recap in writing—does this order work?” |
Three of Pentacles | Teamwork → “Can we align roles in 3 bullets?” | Misalignment → “What does success look like for you here?” |
The Hermit | Insight → “I’ve reflected; here’s my clear ask.” | Isolation → “Can we set a 10-min planning call?” |
Page of Cups | Playful reach-out → “Random thought—want to try X?” | Shy or unsure → “I’m curious but happy to go slow—what feels comfy?” |
Pro move: If multiple reversals show up, keep the ask small and offer two safe choices.
Troubleshooting your text
- Trim adverbs; swap to verbs. (“Maybe I was just kinda thinking” → “I’d like to…”.)
- One ask per message, max one question mark.
- If you don’t get a response: follow up in 72 hours with, “Circling back in case this got buried—happy to try next week.”
CTA: Copy one message and send it before tonight. Your future self will be grateful.
