Welcome to your weekly Twin Peaks tarot reading from 22nd May to 28th May, and happy Season 3 Anniversary! Six years! How time has flown, eh? Are we any closer to solving the mystery of Twin Peaks? Of course not, and we wouldn’t want it any other way now, would we?
As always, I want to emphasise that these readings are only for entertainment. While tarot readings can be insightful and provide guidance, they should not be considered gospel. Additionally, the messages in this reading may not resonate with everyone. It’s important to remember that you are always in control of your own life and that any decisions or actions you take based on this reading are your responsibility. With that said, let’s proceed with an open mind and see what insights the tarot has to offer you this week, Peakies!
Aries (The Ram) | March 21-April 19
An interesting reading for you this week Aries, with The Moon calling on you to trust your intuition and focus on your emotions. Something in your life feels a little unclear. Perhaps you have a decision to make about a relationship or a job, or maybe a house move. This is all very positive though, as the Ace of Pentacles represents new beginnings and opportunities, especially regarding material wealth and finances.
The Strength card encourages you to show the world your talents. Like Nadine dazzled the cheerleading squad and the wrestling team with her strength and determination and then showed the object of her desire, Mike, what he could have if he gave her a chance. Although their connection was temporary, Mike had the time of his life and learned a lot from Nadine’s life experience. Remember, nothing in life is permanent, and everything is transient. So why not seize the opportunity and take a chance?
Trust your intuition; if you feel excited by a particular prospect, follow that path. If what is being offered to you makes you uncomfortable, trust that feeling. Check out any job offers thoroughly. You don’t want to be working on the perfume counter of the department store, then be offered what sounds like an opportunity of a lifetime, only to find out that the job is not at all what you expected and you might have to do some things that are out of your comfort zone or don’t sit right with you in an ethical sense.
Whatever decision you make, ensure you can look yourself in the mirror and recognise your true self. All the money in the world won’t be worth it if you sell your soul to the devil. If your predicament is about whether to go on a date or take things further in a relationship, make sure you have some boundaries in place first. If there are some things you could not handle in a relationship, e.g. they voted for Trump, they have very opposing views to yours or worst of all, they don’t like Twin Peaks, you know there’s no point going any further. If your heart flutters thinking about them, even if they aren’t quite your dream person, you should definitely take a chance. Stranger things have happened.
Taurus (The Bull) | April 20-May 20
Taurus, the natural-born leader in you is taking charge this week. The King of Wands energy is one of strength, determination, and righteousness. He sits on his chair in the red room, waiting to give direction, advice and to assist others on their journey. He has a sense of good in him so strong he’d cut off his left arm to prevent evil from happening to others. The Star card represents hope, inspiration, healing, and renewed faith. Like Lucy, you are smart; you can juggle various tasks at once and keep a balance in amongst chaos.
Just like Lucy, who effortlessly pours coffee, sets out a policeman’s dream of donuts, waters the plants, and cares for Waldo the mynah bird, you too possess the ability to keep all aspects of life under control. Remember the brief time when Lucy went to visit her sister Gwen—how the sheriff’s station descended into chaos without her steady presence. You share the same commanding energy as Lucy, adeptly managing the situations around you, lending a helping hand to others, and demonstrating kindness to all. No one would dare mess with you; you command respect.
And you really need to. The Six of Pentacles suggests that you are currently feeling exceptionally generous, offering your time, resources, and support to others. While going with the flow and allowing others to take the lead can be advantageous in a work environment, showcasing trust in your colleagues and fostering their personal growth, it is important to discern the boundary between exploration and engaging in activities that make you uncomfortable. Regrettably, there are individuals in the world who may exploit your easygoing nature, taking things too far.
There is also someone around you that drains your energy due to their negativity. This someone is jealous of your popularity; you are The Star, after all. So keep your eyes and ears open and notice anyone behaving strangely around you, watching your every move or giving you a hard time. Their desire to possess you or take what you have may lead them to act irrationally. If this message resonates with you, swiftly eliminate this negativity from your life. You owe nothing to this person. Prioritise your own protection first, and then you can wholeheartedly attend to those who genuinely require your care.
Gemini (The Twins) | May 21-June 21
Well now, Gemini, you have a beautiful reading this week. Starting with the Ten of Cups, one of the most joyful and abundant cards in the deck. Here Norma and Ed hold their arms up to the Twin Peaks in gratitude, for they have finally been set free to be together after decades of heartache, fleeting moments of happiness, and years of feeling trapped in situations they couldn’t escape from. They are financially stable, in a solid relationship and have finally been given the prize of love they waited so patiently for.
If you find yourself thinking that such a dream could never come true for you, take comfort in the Wheel of Fortune card, which indicates that you are on the brink of a positive change in your life. The wheel turns away from the darkness of the waiting room, so if you’ve been feeling stuck in limbo for what feels like an eternity, know that your time of liberation is drawing near.
Now, let’s talk about the Queen of Pentacles. Although she possesses all the material wealth one could desire, she still feels sad and lonely. Similarly, you have an abundance of love to give, yet, like Audrey, you have experienced neglect from those who should have loved you the most. Trusting people may now be challenging, and you may have placed excessive focus on finding someone to rescue you or fill a parental role in your life. However, it is crucial for you to recognise that your strongest ally is yourself. Throughout your life, you have taken care of yourself admirably. Have faith in your abilities, maintain a curious mindset, and take initiative to create the stable foundation you desire. Once you find comfort in your own company, the pain will subside, and you will no longer seek validation from others to feel secure. Pride in yourself will become your greatest reward.
When you least expect it, the stars will turn and that person you’ve been eagerly awaiting will stand right before you, ready to embark on a beautiful journey together.
Cancer (The Crab) | June 22-July 22
Cancer, I must acknowledge that these three cards present a sombre outlook. However, it is during the darkest times that we often learn the most profound lessons. The Tower card signifies an unexpected and significant change that is taking place in your life. Just like Ben and Catherine being thrown from the flaming mill, their relationship, both in business and romance, has abruptly come to an end.
The Three of Swords shows that you feel a great sense of betrayal or the loss of someone important to you, and it feels like you have been stabbed in the heart. You need to take time to heal properly. Take some time off work, allow yourself to go through all the stages of grief, recognise all of your emotions and face them head-on. If you bottle things up, you will only end up feeling bitter and twisted. Trust in the fact that what has happened is not your fault. You are not to blame for someone else’s actions, so don’t dwell on the threshold for too long, or you’ll end up haunted by the ghosts of past memories, mistakes and regrets. Avoid self-medicating in the form of alcohol or drugs, as this will only make matters harder to deal with, and the pain will be extended. Remember that everything in life is impermanent, including the hard times, and that there will be happier times ahead—but you have to be open to them.
If someone you love has left you, either by ending a relationship or by leaving this Earthly realm, it will be hard for a little while, but take this opportunity to consider your attachment to them. Of course you are sad because you will miss them, but the Five of Cups suggests you are fixated on what you have lost. If your grief is mainly tied to anger at them for betraying or leaving you, you need to know that they had their own shadow selves to face and had no intention of hurting you. Everyone has their own path, and you can only control what happens on your own journey. The best thing you can do is find forgiveness in your heart; it will set them free and release you from your demons.
Leo (The Lion) | July 22-August 23
Leo, this week brings you three powerful Major Arcana cards: The Fool, Strength, and The Lovers. These cards hold great significance, especially the Strength card, which is often represented by a lion and holds special meaning for Leos, particularly those born in August. It’s an incredibly auspicious combination for you, Leo.
The Fool represents new beginnings, spontaneity and embracing the unknown. Depicted in the Magician Longs to See deck by Andy, the sensitive, loving soul who boasts a whole lot of courage. In fact, he may just be the most valiant character in the whole of Twin Peaks. Recall how he responded when whisked away by the Fireman into either the White Lodge or a waiting room of sorts (the intricacies of the Black and White Lodges remain mysterious). He remained calm, knowing he had a quest and a message to deliver. With unwavering courage and determination, he fulfilled his duty without question. Andy’s pure soul saved the day.
The universe is now signalling for you to take a leap of faith. Show the person you have your eye on what they’re missing, or express your true feelings to a lost love. Approach your boss or a prospective employer and confidently state your desire for that job. Be bold, brave, and honest. You have nothing to lose. The Lovers card signifies a deep connection and harmonious partnership in your near future. Make choices that align with the desires of your heart.
Embrace the energy of these cards, Leo, and trust that taking courageous and authentic actions will lead you to the positive outcomes you seek.
Virgo (The Virgin) | Aug 23-Sept 22
Virgo, you’re currently grappling with feelings of guilt. The Judgement card signifies that you’re entering a phase of self-reflection, awakening, and inner transformation. It’s important to remember that the only person who truly has the power to judge you is yourself. Don’t allow the judgments of others to define you. If you agree with their criticisms, now is an opportunity for self-improvement. Take responsibility for your actions, make amends, and embrace a fresh start. Treat others, the world, and yourself with respect and dignity, as this will positively affect your karma.
In this scenario, Windom Earle symbolises you as the master of a chessboard. While you may have won the game, you regret some of the moves that caused you to lose the trust and affection of certain individuals along the way. Although you may appear happy and fulfilled, as depicted by the Nine of Cups, your guilt remains concealed beneath a facade.
The beauty of your current situation is that you’re in a great position to rectify past misdeeds. People can change—look at Benjamin Horne, for instance. Embrace the light within you and become a positive influence on others. It may take time, but you have the power to alter people’s perceptions of you. The Eight of Cups encourages you to embark on a new path and leave behind what no longer serves you. You have the ability to redefine yourself, free from the constraints of your past. Embrace this opportunity for growth and transformation.
Libra (The Scales) | September 23-October 23
Libra, this week your energy is very similar to Donna Hayward‘s. Now don’t be alarmed, I am not saying you are dull or pretentious, just that you have been stuck in someone else’s shadow for too long, and now it’s time for your light to shine.
If you’re feeling that your relationship is becoming tedious or losing its spark, it’s essential to examine the underlying reasons. Take a closer look at whether your significant other is still investing effort in the relationship or if their attention is drifting towards someone else. Equally, consider whether it’s you who has lost interest. The presence of the Four of Cups suggests that there might be opportunities for something better, but you may be oblivious to them because of your dedicated nature as a partner.
I’m not suggesting you seek someone else or abruptly end the relationship. Instead, I encourage you to open your eyes and embrace curiosity. The strongest relationships thrive because both individuals allow each other space to pursue their interests and happiness. It’s crucial not to suffocate one another. Engaging in creative hobbies like music, art, writing, dance, or drama can bring fulfilment. Alternatively, activities such as sports, gaming, or cooking may spark their interest. Encourage your partner to explore their passions and support their independence, just as they should do for you. Finding a balance between togetherness and individuality can invigorate your relationship.
The Page of Wands represents enthusiasm, inspiration and a spark of creativity. Like the boy Tremond who was learning magic (and was frighteningly good at it), the need to find your own talents is alluring. You are eager to try something new and meet new wonderful and strange people–who knows where that path may lead. All you know for sure is that it excites you. You don’t want to be labelled as someone’s friend, child or partner your whole life; you should be recognised for who you are, not who you are attached to.
You are the centre of The World, at least your world. Detachment and independence are healthy—it doesn’t mean you have to be alone. The world is a vast place with much to explore, so don’t get tied down to a small-town mindset. Go and find your calling. If your romantic partner or friends are supportive of you, you’ll know they are for keeps.
Scorpio (The Scorpion) | October 24-November 21
There is a striking connection between the three cards that have emerged for your reading this week, Scorpio. Can you spot it? Each card features a man associated with the law: Sheriff Harry Truman, Special Agent Cooper, and FBI Deputy Director Gordon Cole.
Harry’s brokenness is depicted in the Nine of Swords. He carries a shattered heart due to the loss of his true love, Josie, and the revelation of her true identity. Cooper, represented by The Magician, has already experienced the pain of losing someone he loved: Caroline Earle, who was married to his partner Windom. Cooper carries deep remorse for his actions, and both he and Caroline paid a steep price—Caroline lost her life, and Cooper lost the woman he cherished. In this sense, Harry and Cooper have traversed similar paths in their lives.
Cooper, however, has experienced some healing since his loss. His unwavering mental strength, commitment to protecting others and solving crimes, and remarkable intuition make him an exceptional FBI agent. He has poured his heart into his work since Caroline’s murder. It takes a special kind of person to emerge stronger after such a profound loss, and that’s precisely what Cooper has done—and what you, too, are capable of. You embody the essence of The Magician, possessing the power to manifest your desires in life, and you have an exceptional director, like Gordon Cole, to support you through challenging times.
The Two of Wands signifies that you find yourself at a crossroads in your life, where you must adopt a bold and assertive approach, regardless of the path you choose. One path may be familiar, filled with obstacles you are accustomed to navigating. The other may be unfamiliar as if it has just been revealed to you. Something has occurred in your life that has opened your eyes to alternative ways of doing things—perhaps a more spiritual, emotional, or even supernatural path. There is no inherently right or wrong choice; ultimately, both paths lead to the same destination. Your decision lies in whether you wish to remain on the comfortable road or embrace the mystery that lies ahead. The lessons learned from your past pain will guide you in making this choice. Pay attention to your dreams, as they may hold valuable messages for you.
Sagittarius (The Archer) | November 22-December 21
Yep, there’s a ton of weird shit going on in your reading this week Sagittarius, with The Fireman, The Little Man from Another Place, a white horse, an owl, a pine weasel, blue roses, Dr Jacoby and a demented reflection all playing their part. Pay attention to your dreams this week, for your subconscious is trying to tell you something.
Your first card is The Sun which brings with it much joy, vitality and success. You are going through a period of clarity and deep connection to your true self, which may be the cause of all the weird stuff! The Moon represents self-reflection, intuition and mystery and is also a cause of really weird stuff.
When The Moon and The Sun cards appear together in a reading, they hold significant meaning. This combination signifies a period of transformation, growth, and the importance of balance. The Moon represents the introspective, intuitive, and feminine aspects, while The Sun embodies the proactive, outward-facing, and masculine energies. Together, they create a harmonious union of yin and yang forces.
This card combination indicates that you are in a phase of personal and spiritual development. Although you may experience uncertainty or confusion, the presence of The Sun assures you that new opportunities and experiences are on the horizon. It reminds you to embrace optimism and remain open to the possibilities ahead.
The Moon and The Sun also symbolise the delicate balance between light and dark, as well as the interplay of internal and external forces. To move forward in a positive way, you are encouraged to find an equilibrium between your internal emotions and external actions. By trusting your intuition, seeking harmony, and embracing The Sun’s uplifting energy, you can successfully navigate this period of change. The Hanged Man is there to remind you to let things go. Take a fresh perspective and let things flow naturally. Trust that the universe has the best intentions for you.
Capricorn (The Goat) | December 22-January 19
Capricorn, you have recently experienced the joyous energy of the Three of Cups, spending quality time with loved ones and creating beautiful memories filled with laughter. It has been nourishing for your soul, reminding you of the importance of connection. However, life is not solely about fun and games; if it were, it would lose its charm. Remember, anyone who claims they want Christmas every day is a liar.
Now, it’s time to shift your focus to more serious matters. The Knight of Wands represents a strong work ethic, a trait that resonates with you, Capricorn. Direct your attention towards your job and the pursuit of financial stability for a secure future. Saving money may seem challenging in today’s world unless you have a generous income. Nevertheless, as long as you’re responsibly managing your bills and debts, you are on the path to a brighter tomorrow: practice discipline and patience. Building solid foundations takes time and effort, so resist the temptation to cut corners.
The Six of Wands symbolises victory, recognition for your hard work, and the reward for your perseverance. As long as you maintain a steady and measured approach, you will achieve your goals. Avoid rocking the boat or succumbing to greed. Instead, draw inspiration from the wise words of the remarkable Carl Rodd, who had already gone places and just wanted to stay where he was. While his statement carried a touch of melancholy, it also held profound wisdom. A fulfilling life doesn’t always require constant excitement. The greatest joy often lies in the simple things, like savouring a cup of coffee in the morning sun or observing the local wildlife from your window. Take this opportunity to appreciate the peace and serenity of your home and family life. Chaos will inevitably return at some point, so use this period to fortify yourself financially, emotionally, and physically.
Aquarius (The Water Bearer) | January 20-February 18
Aquarius, this week calls for rest and rejuvenation, as indicated by the Four of Swords. It’s time for a well-deserved break. Two powerful energies are influencing your life at the moment. The Empress represents abundance, creativity, fertility, and growth. Embrace her guidance and indulge in pleasurable experiences that honour your needs. Whether it’s treating yourself to a spa day, dining at a fantastic restaurant, taking a vacation, or simply spending quality time in bed with your loved one, make self-care a priority. Taking this time for yourself not only benefits you but also positively impacts the people around you. Your relaxed state and clear mind allow you to be at your best.
On the other hand, the King of Pentacles represents financial stability and material wealth, suggesting that taking time off won’t have a significant financial impact. However, be cautious of anyone attempting to seize opportunities while you’re momentarily inactive. The dynamics between Catherine and Blackie are worth noting. Both were involved in business with Benjamin Horne and sought to undermine him by taking over his enterprises and wealth. However, Catherine emerged victorious. She displayed wisdom by observing from the sidelines and striking when her enemy was at their weakest. In contrast, Blackie made impulsive decisions, allowing her emotions and outside influences to cloud her judgment, ultimately leading to her downfall.
The message for you, Aquarius, is to take a step back, rest your mind, and the solutions to your problems will become clear. If you’re concerned about someone trying to take advantage of your business or job, avoid resorting to unethical tactics to stop them. Instead, observe them closely and continue excelling in what you do best. Chances are, they will make mistakes and ruin their own chances along the way. Similarly, in romantic relationships or friendships, if someone is vying for your position, remain composed. Remind your loved ones of your worth, and the other party will reveal their true colours in due time. When you embrace the energy of The Empress, you become impervious to their threats.
Pisces (The Fish) | February 19-March 20
The Queen of Swords, Shelly Johnson, shows up twice in your reading this week Pisces, symbolising a complex journey in matters of love. She is fondly remembered for her sweet nature but pretty terrible taste in men. Not that Bobby turned out so terrible, he did become a good cop after all. But what attracted Shelly to Bobby in the first place was his bad-boy persona. She was also married young to Leo Johnson, a drug dealer, a serial cheater and a wife-beater, showcasing her penchant for tumultuous relationships.
However, Shelly is also depicted here in The Lovers card, with Bobby by her side and Leo like a haunting clown of torment always in the back of her mind. You need to escape from the clutches of your past trauma when it comes to romance. You have a big decision to make, so search deep inside yourself for the answer and do what is right, even if it’s hard and you are scared. You have to break this cycle.
The Ten of Swords, although appearing brutal, represents the end of a chapter and the release of burdens. It can be a blessing for those in abusive or constantly argumentative relationships. If you find yourself in such circumstances, now may be the time to bring this chapter to a close. While it may initially be challenging, know that these trials are coming to an end and you have the strength to overcome them.
The Queen of Swords embodies a strong, independent, intellectual energy that values truth and rationality. You must embrace this energy to assert yourself and communicate clearly. Resist the pleas of those urging you to stay in a situation that brings you misery. Though it may be difficult not to empathise with their plight, it is essential to prioritise your own needs. Take time to be alone without rushing into another relationship that mirrors the past simply because it feels familiar. You have the potential for greatness, and being alone is better than entering another controlling relationship. Embrace your fierceness, and if you struggle to do it for yourself, do it for those you love, for they are also affected by the chaos that this other person brings into your life.
Thank you for reading, and I hope some of the messages resonate with you. Be sure to check your sun, moon and rising signs for a clearer picture. Come back this time next week for more Twin Peaks tarot readings.
Thank you to Benjamin Mackey, who designed this incredibly detailed and inciteful tarot deck, “The Magician Longs To See“.
