A last-minute trip is heading your way. Pack light, pack fast, and leave room for whatever you pick up on the way. Someone you meet out there will turn into a story you tell for years. Say yes to the detour.

In the picture: A young traveller steps towards a cliff edge, face to the sun, a white rose in one hand and a small bag on a stick over his shoulder. A little white dog jumps at his heels.

The Fool is card zero, the very start of the deck, which makes it the card of beginnings. It's about trusting the road before you can see the end of it, travelling light and staying open to whatever turns up. In tarot it's the spirit of yes.

Tote on your shoulder at the airport, towel inside. Then unclip the minaudiere and take it to dinner with a linen shirt dress and flat sandals.

Saturday. Pack the night before.

You already have everything you need. You just can't decide which version of you is coming out tonight. Good news: you don't have to. Gold for dinner, silver for after, and everything going your way in between.

In the picture: The Magician stands at a table with one arm raised to the sky and the other pointing to the ground. On the table are a cup, a coin, a sword and a wand, one for each suit of the tarot. Above his head floats the infinity sign, and roses and lilies grow around him.

Everything he needs is already on the table, and that's the point of the card. The raised hand and the pointing hand mean turning ideas into something real. It's the card of skill, confidence and making things happen with what you already have.

Gold side out with a camel coat and a black polo neck. Turn it to silver when the shoes change.

Friday. Turn it at midnight.

You've already made up your mind. Keep it to yourself a little longer. It's more fun that way. Someone's about to tell you something you already knew. Act surprised, then do exactly what you'd planned.

In the picture: A calm woman in blue sits between a black pillar and a white pillar, with a crescent moon at her feet. Behind her hangs a veil covered in pomegranates, and she holds a half-hidden scroll in her lap.

She's the keeper of secrets. The veil behind her means there's more going on than meets the eye, and she knows exactly what it is. The card is about intuition, quiet wisdom and trusting what you know without needing anyone to explain it.

All black, red lip, Midnight Rock. Let it do the talking.

Wednesday. Know something nobody else does.

Good things are growing all around you. This is your sign to enjoy them, starting with something lovely for yourself. Book the table, buy the flowers, run the long bath. You'll feel the difference by the weekend.

In the picture: The Empress lounges on soft cushions in a field of ripe wheat, wearing a crown of twelve stars and a robe printed with pomegranates. A heart-shaped shield with the symbol of Venus rests beside her, and a waterfall runs through the trees behind.

She's the card of abundance, comfort and beauty. Everything around her is growing and thriving. In tarot she stands for creativity, pleasure and looking after yourself as well as you look after everyone else.

With a cream knit, wide-leg trousers and pearl earrings. Soft, polished and very you.

Sunday. Long lunch, no rush.

You're running the show, and everyone knows it. Carry something that can keep up. A decision is heading your way and you'll make it in about four seconds. Trust it. Everyone else will.

In the picture: The Emperor sits on a stone throne carved with rams' heads, wearing a red robe over a suit of armour. He holds a sceptre in one hand and an orb in the other, with bare mountains rising behind him.

He's the card of leadership and structure. The stone throne and the mountains are all about stability, building something that lasts. In tarot he stands for confidence, clear decisions and being the person everyone looks to.

Over the arm with a sharp blazer and loafers. The fan is for the meeting that runs over.

Tuesday. Book the meeting. You'll win it.

Your favourite rituals are about to pay off. The long lunch, the same table, the good bottle. Keep them all. An old favourite is about to surprise you, whether that's a place, a person or a dress you haven't worn in a while.

In the picture: A figure in red robes and a tall crown sits between two grey pillars, one hand raised in blessing. Two crossed keys lie at his feet, and two figures kneel in front of him.

The Hierophant is the keeper of tradition. The keys stand for wisdom passed down. In tarot the card is about the rituals, people and places that ground you, and the comfort of the classics that never let you down.

With a white shirt, blue jeans and gold hoops. A classic for a reason.

Sunday. Same table as always.

You don't have to pick a side. Some of the best pairings are the ones nobody saw coming. Someone is thinking about you more than you realise. Try the unexpected combination and see what happens.

In the picture: A man and a woman stand beneath a great angel, with the sun shining behind it. Behind the woman is a tree heavy with fruit, and behind the man a tree with flames for leaves. A mountain rises between them.

It's one of the most romantic cards in the deck, but it's also about choices. The two trees are two paths, and the angel blesses whichever one you pick with your heart. In tarot it stands for love, connection and finding your match.

Both on one lapel of a navy coat, gold above silver. Or split them across a collar.

Friday. Say yes to the second drink.

You're on the move and nothing's slowing you down. Big night tonight, early start tomorrow. You've got both covered. A plan you've been chasing is about to move faster than expected, so keep the diary clear.

In the picture: A figure in armour stands in a chariot under a canopy of stars, with crescent moons on his shoulders. In front of him sit two sphinxes, one black and one white, and there are no reins. A city stands behind him.

He steers the chariot with willpower alone, keeping two very different forces moving in the same direction. The card is about momentum, determination and victory. In tarot it means you're on your way, and you're winning.

Crossbody with a leather jacket for the night, then as a wristlet for the morning coffee.

Thursday. Go for it before the weekend.

You don't need to be the loudest in the room. Walk in, say less, and let everyone else notice. Someone's been watching how you handle things and they're impressed. Expect a compliment you'll replay all week.

In the picture: A woman in white gently holds a lion's mouth, completely calm. A garland of flowers is wrapped around her waist and the infinity sign floats above her head.

The lion stands for big feelings and big challenges, and she handles it with kindness, not force. That's the heart of the card: real strength is quiet, patient and confident. In tarot it stands for courage, compassion and grace under pressure.

With a black slip dress and bare shoulders. Nothing else needed.

Wednesday. Midweek, high shine.

Cancel something. You've earned an evening that belongs entirely to you, and the people who matter will understand. A good book, a bath and an early night will do more for you than any party this month. Then come back louder.

In the picture: An old man in a grey cloak stands alone on a snowy mountain top. He holds up a lantern with a shining star inside and leans on a long staff.

He's climbed somewhere quiet so he can think. The lantern is his own inner light, showing him the way one step at a time. In tarot the card stands for reflection, wisdom and the value of time on your own.

With a long camel coat and your comfiest jeans. Even a night in deserves a good bag on the way to pick up dinner.

Tuesday. Cancel, guilt-free.

The wheel's turning your way. Pick a letter, any letter. It's probably the start of something good. A lucky break is closer than you think, so send the message, enter the draw, say the thing.

In the picture: A great wheel turns in the sky, marked with letters and symbols. A sphinx sits on top, a snake slides down one side and a jackal-headed figure rises up the other. In each corner, a winged figure reads a book among the clouds.

The wheel is always turning, and this card says it's turning your way. In tarot it stands for luck, good timing and the moments when everything clicks into place. It's the universe giving you a nudge.

With a denim jacket and a floaty skirt. Your initial on the drawstring, or the initial of someone you love.

Thursday. Spin it.

You've been very good lately. The scales have noticed. Something you've been owed is on its way back to you. A thank you, a favour or a refund. Possibly all three.

In the picture: A figure in a red robe sits between two pillars, holding a sword upright in one hand and a set of scales in the other, looking straight ahead.

The scales weigh everything fairly, and the sword cuts straight to the truth. In tarot the card stands for balance, honesty and getting what you deserve. When it turns up, good things you've put in are coming back to you.

Hair up, white shirt, gold chain. Let the hoops swing.

Wednesday. Fair's fair.

Turn it around and look again. The answer you've been after was there all along, just the other way up. Take a beat before you decide. The slower route turns out to be the scenic one.

In the picture: A man hangs upside down by one foot from a living tree, his other leg crossed behind it and his hands behind his back. His face is calm, and a golden halo shines around his head.

He isn't in trouble. He chose to hang there, and seeing the world upside down has given him a flash of insight, which is why his head glows. In tarot the card stands for pausing, letting go and seeing things from a brand new angle.

Crossbody with a chunky knit and boots, for a slow Saturday walk.

Saturday. Take the long way round.

A clear-out is coming. Something you'd written off is about to come back looking far better than before. Clear the old to make room for the new: the wardrobe, the diary, the camera roll. Something better is already on its way in.

In the picture: A skeleton in armour rides a white horse, carrying a black flag with a white rose on it. Behind him, the sun rises between two towers.

Despite the name, this card is almost never about death. It's about transformation: one chapter closing so a better one can begin. Look closely and you'll see the sun rising in the background. In tarot it's the card of fresh starts.

With silver trainers and a slip skirt, for a Friday night out.

Monday. New week, new start.

You've found the sweet spot between a big night and a sensible morning. Hold on to it. Your calm is catching, and friends will want to know your secret this week. You don't have to tell them.

In the picture: An angel with red wings stands with one foot on land and one in a pool, pouring water between two golden cups. Irises grow at the water's edge, and a path winds up towards a glowing crown on the mountains.

The angel is mixing things in exactly the right amounts. That's the card in a nutshell: balance, patience and finding your perfect blend. In tarot it stands for calm, harmony and taking the middle path.

Crossbody with a pale pink knit and cream trousers.

Sunday. Glow first, then go.

You were only going to have a look. We both know how this ends, and it ends well. Treat yourself without the guilt. The extra pudding, the late night and the bag are all allowed.

In the picture: A horned figure perches on a dark pedestal above two small figures with chains around their necks. Look closely and you'll see the chains are loose enough to slip off whenever they like.

It looks dramatic, but the card is really about pleasure, desire and the things we can't resist. The loose chains are the clue: you're in charge. In this deck, the Devil is your permission to indulge, a little.

With a chocolate brown slip dress and gold jewellery. Completely intentional.

Friday. Basket's open.

Someone's about to say yes. Life as you know it is about to get a lot more fun, so start practising the new signature. Big news is landing soon, the kind you'll want to tell everyone at once. Put something fizzy in the fridge.

In the picture: A tall tower on a rocky peak is struck by lightning, its crown flying off the top and flames bursting from the windows, while sparks of light fall like rain.

The Tower is the big surprise card. The lightning is a flash of truth or inspiration that clears away whatever isn't working, so something better can be built. In this deck, it's always the good kind of shock.

With a white dress for the engagement drinks, the hen do, or just because. Put the new initial on the drawstring.

Saturday. Phone on loud.

Make the wish. Then book the flights, because this one's coming true somewhere warm. Something you've wished for quietly is closer than you think. Write it down tonight.

In the picture: A woman kneels by a pool under a great shining star, with seven smaller stars around it. She pours water from two jugs, one into the pool and one onto the land, and a bird sits in a tree behind her.

After the drama of the Tower comes the Star, the card of hope and healing. She's giving freely, and the stars are lighting her way. In tarot it stands for hope, inspiration and wishes coming true.

Tote by day with a striped swimsuit and a kaftan. Minaudiere by night with gold sandals.

Monday. Make the wish after dark.

Your gut has been right all along. Stop asking for second opinions. Pay attention to your dreams this week. One of them is trying to tell you something good.

In the picture: A full moon with a face shines between two towers. Below it, a dog and a wolf howl at the sky, and a crayfish climbs out of a pool onto a long winding path.

The Moon is the card of dreams and intuition. Everything looks a little different by moonlight, so it asks you to trust your instincts rather than what's in front of you. In tarot it stands for imagination, mystery and your inner voice.

Over a black polo neck, or on its own with an open collar.

Monday. It's the moon's day, obviously.

Your best stretch yet is just getting started. Say yes to all of it. Plans you made months ago are about to come good. Invite everyone.

In the picture: A huge, smiling sun shines over a garden of sunflowers. A child rides a white horse below, arms outstretched, carrying a red banner.

The Sun is one of the happiest cards in the whole deck. It's about joy, warmth, success and everything going right. In tarot, when the Sun turns up, the answer is yes.

With a sundress or a pink knit, depending on the British weather.

Sunday. It's the sun's day, obviously.

That idea you keep coming back to is the one. Answer it. You'll hear from someone you haven't spoken to in a while, and it'll be worth picking up.

In the picture: An angel blows a trumpet from the clouds, a flag with a red cross hanging from it. Below, people rise up with their arms open wide to answer the call.

This is the wake-up card. The trumpet is a calling, and everyone below is answering it with joy. In tarot it stands for a fresh start, big realisations and saying yes to what you were meant to do.

Both lengths layered with a white tee, or the short one with a little black dress.

Thursday. Pick up the phone.

Everything you've been working towards is coming together. Dress for the photos. A big celebration is coming and you're right in the middle of it. Expect a lot of pictures and very good speeches.

In the picture: A woman dances inside a big green wreath, holding a wand in each hand and wrapped in a purple sash. In each corner of the card sits a winged figure.

The World is the last card of the Major Arcana, the end of the journey that started with the Fool. It's about completion, celebration and everything coming together. In tarot it means you've arrived.

With an ivory dress, a silk scarf and pearl studs.

Saturday. Smile, they're taking photos.

Your favourite people, one long table, and a night everyone will talk about for years. You're the one who brought the good bag. An invitation is on its way. Say yes before you check the diary.

In the picture: Three women in flowing dresses dance in a circle, raising their cups in a toast. Fruit and flowers from the harvest are scattered at their feet.

The Cups are the suit of feelings and friendship, and three cups raised together is pure celebration. In tarot the card stands for friendship, parties and good times shared.

With a sequinned top and wide-leg trousers. Put your best friend's initial on the drawstring.

Friday. Raise a glass.

A gift is on its way to you. It might be from someone else, or it might be from you. Both count. Keep an eye on your post, your inbox and your DMs.

In the picture: A hand reaches out of a cloud holding a large golden coin. Below is a lush garden of lilies, with a path leading through a hedge archway towards the mountains.

Pentacles are the suit of money, home and the good things in life you can touch. An Ace is a new beginning, so this card is a gift or an opportunity being handed straight to you. In tarot it stands for new prosperity and good luck.

With a jade green knit or a white sundress, and the initial of your choice.

Tuesday. Check the post.

Life is full in the best way. There's room for all of it, and a little extra. Your home, your people and your plans are all in a very good place. Plan something that brings everyone together.

In the picture: An old man sits by an archway with two white dogs, while a couple and their child gather nearby. Ten golden coins are spread across the card, with a grand family home behind them.

Ten is the last number in the suit, so this is Pentacles at its fullest: a happy home, family, comfort and good fortune that lasts. In tarot it's the card of having everything you need.

Over the shoulder with a trench coat. iPad in, lipstick in the gold pouch, out the door.

Wednesday. Get everyone round.
