5 Zodiac Signs Seeking A New Direction (+ Advice From A Tarot Reader)

There are five zodiac signs that will be feeling the call toward a new direction this year. Here are brief tarot readings for Libra, Pisces, Capricorn, Virgo, and Sagittarius to help guide them.

The three cards drawn for each reading represent:

  • What to hold on to
  • What to let go of
  • What to invite in

Virgo

What to Hold On To: Knight of Cups, Reversed. It’s hard to be open to love, especially when you’re being careful of a heart that was recently wounded. Love yourself through the moment. Be both understanding and validating of the emotions you’re experiencing right now, as strength, compassion, and empathy will be invaluable on your journey.

What to Let Go Of: King of Swords. Β Let go of your need for ultimate control or a sense of sitting in judgment – it will narrow, and ultimately weaken, your mind. Objective and logical assessment is important – but so is understanding the emotional experience.Β 

What to Invite In: The Magician. You have everything you need to meet the moment – the experience, the resources, and the will. While it can be overwhelming to understand it’s in our power to change our lives, it’s the knowledge we need to be able to manifest the life we want.Β As you blaze a new trail for yourself, keep your purpose and goals in your mind’s eye. The Magician is a powerful message that what you want can be in your grasp.

Libra

What to Hold On To: The Queen of Swords. It’s ultimately in your nature to be as analytical and balanced as the Queen of Swords, Libra. You have a talent for understanding how much compassion should be used to temper your pragmatism.Β 

What to Let Go Of: Seven of Swords. You’ll find more success by being forthright rather than cunning. There are no effective shortcuts for the work you’ll need to get done in order to change your life’s direction. Prepare yourself for a long journey, and don’t fool yourself into thinking there are ways around it.Β 

What to Invite In: King of Pentacles. The way to build something new and long-lasting is through steady, consistent effort.Β A disciplined approach to the work that needs to be done will ultimately be rewarded. Pragmatism and hard work are themes that draw the messages of these three cards together, and if you can invite in a mindset of abundance, you’ll find a lot of success in the new direction you’re seeking.

Sagittarius

What to Hold On To: Strength. Strength isn’t about a physical, brute-force effort. It’s about the courage to face something large and incomprehensible with a calm and collected spirit. Strength isn’t about the lion – it’s about the woman who is able to soothe and master it. What could you do with the fire within you, if you could direct it with mindful purpose?

What to Let Go Of: Nine of Cups. There’s a line between enjoyment and escapism. Wishes are beautiful things, but when you’re moving towards something new,Β it’s not the time to get lost in the realm of instant gratification. There’s work to be done, and overindulgence will just lead you towards more distraction and ultimately dissatisfaction.Β 

What to Invite In: Knight of Cups, Reversed. There are lots of big emotions to deal with when you’re taking on a lot of new things in life, and they can sometimes trigger old emotions and open wounds. Look at it as an opportunity to heal. If you can, you’ll finally be moving towards something instead of away from something.

Capricorn

What to Hold On To: The Moon. Your awareness of the depths of the world around you and your ability to steadily reach within will be an important guide to you as you look to take your life in a new direction. Pay close attention to your dreams, and be aware of any signs that you see that cross between your sleeping and waking world.Β 

What to Let Go Of: Seven of Wands. As you question your way forward, realize that it is not the time to feel defensive. Allow yourself to question what you believe. If it is worth your time and commitment, the belief can withstand your analysis.

What to Invite In: Nine of Cups. What would happen if you allowed yourself to dream big, Capricorn? What would you do if you could do anything? Who would you be if you could be anyone? As you look to find your new direction, you can use the answers to steer you towards something meaningful and authentic for yourself.

Pisces

What to Hold On To: Eight of Swords, Reversed. It’s time to practice some radical self-acceptance, Pisces. Accept the mistakes that you may have made in the past. Be mindful that you don’t play into a victim mindset, or create narratives that trap you instead of empower you.

What to Let Go Of: Six of Swords. It’s time to leave the past and move forward, really truly move forward. You’re past the transition and are now in the thick of making it happen. Change can be scary, especially if you’re moving your whole life in a new direction, but now isn’t the time to resist it.Β 

What to Invite In: Two of Cups, Reversed. You’ve been through a lot with people, and it’s natural to feel a bit paranoid and on edge. Remember that we are social creatures. To help accelerate your growth in a new direction, work on some of the past traumas you have that might be impacting your ability to build new relationships.
