Taurus

With three major arcana cards in your reading, there’s a lot of energy and momentum in your life right now, Taurus. Interestingly, there is a major arcana card representing both what is working for you and against you, so it may feel as though you’re just spinning some very big and important wheels, while still getting nowhere. 

Overview: King of Pentacles. There is a lot of toxic energy around material goods that you’re dealing with, and it’s time that the hold that this energy has on you be released. The toxic situation could be due to money mismanagement, an overabundance of financial ambition, or a lack of discipline when it comes to money or spending habits.

Working For You: Judgement. ‘Acting authentically’ can sound easy until it comes against our sense of comfort or maybe tradition. You’ve been doing the soul-searching and hard work to align your actions with your values, which is helping you to recognize the toxic situation you’re in. 

Working Against You: The Chariot. The journey of self-discovery, and some of the sacrifices that it has been asking you to make, hasn’t been an easy one. While you’ve been improving in the ways you’ve been hoping to, the costs are mounting.

Your Hopes: King of Swords. You know that it’s going to take a clear-headed approach to stay the course and make the right decisions. Consider how you can best cultivate that state of mind, and use the resources you have on hand to create a high-level view to help you navigate.

Your Fears: Queen of Wands. You’re afraid that you aren’t having the sorts of experiences that will drive you towards the person you want to be. While you have drive and ambition, you often feel thwarted in your efforts at growth, and you’re afraid that these frustrations are bound to be permanent.

Advice: The Hierophant. The Hierophant represents the structures and traditions we experience. As advice, it indicates that you may find inspiration or support from traditional structures, or that it will take a conventional approach to solve the problem you’re facing. 

Virgo

There are several wands in this reading – the King, Ten, Seven, and Five all make an appearance. This suggests a high energy time full of inspiration and action. Though your energy feels boundless, guard it and your time as the precious and valuable resources they are by being mindful you don’t take on too much. 

Overview: Seven of Wands. It’s been a fight to get to where you are, Virgo, and that fight has often been perilous. You’ve not experienced stability or true camaraderie on your way. You’ve recognized that you have to be fierce and fearless as you stand up for yourself and what you believe. 

Working For You: Five of Wands. It’s important that you be able to recognize healthy, encouraging competition when you have access to it. Not all competition is toxic or seeking to tear you down, and there are times when it can instead encourage growth and innovation. Don’t allow your experiences to shut you off from this vital resource when it can help guide you towards the growth you’re seeking.

Working Against You: The World. You’re feeling restricted. This could be due to a lot of reasons – maybe there are actual constraints you’re working against, or you could be chafing under the weight of a lot of responsibilities. This feeling, and the others it inspires, is working against your ability to see and move on from the toxic situation.

Your Hopes: King of Swords. A big dose of clarity, and the ability to see the larger situation, is what you’re hoping for and it would certainly go a long way to helping you figure out what’s next. 

Your Fears: Ten of Wands. You’re worried that you’ve taken on far too much, and though you’re very close to finalizing how this chapter of your life plays out, you’re never going to truly be able to break free because of how much you’re carrying now. To allay your fears, spend some time evaluating what you’ve taken on, and if it’s truly your burden to bear. 

Advice: The Emperor. Take control and ownership of the parts of the situation that belong to you, but set firm boundaries as you move on. 

Sagittarius

Your emotional intelligence is going to nurture the resilience you need to move forward, Sagittarius, but it’s also going to open your heart. Don’t fear the vulnerability this creates – lean into it to discover more about your emotional experience, and which parts of you need healing.

Overview: Justice. The decisions you make now will resonate through your future, so choose wisely. If you aren’t facing actual legal issues, you will be facing a situation regarding fairness and balance. To detoxify the situation will mean re-establishing appropriate balance and making sure that true equity exists.

Working For You: Ten of Wands. You’ve learned how to deal with competing priorities, and also understand exactly what you can delegate. More importantly, you know who is trustworthy. You recognize the importance of verifying what you’re spending your energy on, so you can focus on what you can actually change.

Working Against You: Seven of Cups. What you’re doing now isn’t exactly what you were dreaming of, and you’ve been having a hard time admitting to yourself just how overly-optimistic and toxically positive some of your dreams were. 

Your Hopes: The Magician. You’re hoping that you have all the resources you need to make things happen. It’s time to believe in yourself – state things in the positive and center your thoughts on manifestation. Everything you need is at your fingertips, and you’re skill enough to make your vision happen. Channel these hopes by visualizing yourself detoxifying your situation, and manifesting the life you want.

Your Fears: Ace of Cups. You’ve been dealing with a lot of fear of vulnerability, and it’s time for you to unpack why your heart is so constrained. Allowing your heart to be open requires you to be comfortable with vulnerability, and it allows for a depth of connection with other people and their plights that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Empathy can open us to pain, yes, but it can also help lead us towards triumph and true joy.
