Your Next Great Love, According To Your Zodiac + Tarot

Aries

Your Cards: The Devil, Seven of Cups, Two of Cups, Five of Wands, Seven of Pentacles

It’s hard to let go. Unfortunately for you Aries, this might be a reality that you’re living. There is someone from your past that you just can’t seem to move on from. Perhaps you two continuously break no-contact and find yourselves repeating the same cycles over and over again. I think right now you find yourself in a place where you’re wondering if you’ll ever get over this toxic love. Despite how much pain and devastation it’s brought you, you’re still wondering if you’ll ever find someone you care about as much. Will the next person know the ins and outs of your personality? Will they accept you for your quirks and speak the same love language as you? But life is mysterious. There is a good chance someone is coming that will catch you off guard and what will bring you two together is the fact that you’re both in the same boat. You’ll find them when you least expect them and you’ll both find comfort in the fact that you’re not alone in this world and in this pain. But be careful. It may be a rebound fling for the both of you. While there is potential for this next great love to last, the timing just might not be right for the both of you. You might find that while you can heal the pain of the past through one another, it may not be enough to keep you two together. It won’t end in flames like love before has but it just might be one of those instances where it’s right people, wrong time.

Taurus

Your Cards: Wheel of Fortune, King of Cups, Ace of Wands, Two of Pentacles, Six of Cups

I have a feeling you already know who I’m talking about, Taurus. Right now you’re feeling rather unsure about them, however. You’ve been through a lot, especially over the past year. You’re no stranger to offering your heart upon a silver platter to the one that you love but right now you’re a bit fickle. This is unlike you. Usually, you’re so sure of yourself and who you choose to love. It doesn’t take long for you to make up your mind but that isn’t the case right now. You’re wondering if this person is just another fantasy doomed to become a memory but give them a chance. There is great potential here. They share your childlike wonder for life and that’s hard to find in this day and age. The world is on fire but that doesn’t mean you should diminish the flames within your heart. You’re wavering back and forth in your head but they’ll surprise you in the best way possible. Right now you might have convinced yourself that there’s no way. Maybe they’re not you’re usual type. You might also feel a little disappointed in them because they’re not what you’re used to. But I think once you’ve made up your mind, you’ll be glad you said yes and took the leap of faith. This love has the potential to be filled with both innocence and intense passion. You both share a connection on a level that you’re not used to. It’s something worth fighting for. 

Gemini

Your Cards: Ten of Cups, Seven of Cups, Knight of Wands, Page of Wands, Page of Pentacles

You love the chase don’t you, Gemini? Of course, you do. But at what cost? Your next great love is someone you’ve dreamt about. A person you’ve hoped and prayed for. You feel like, if they just gave you a real chance then you’d be able to show them what they’re missing out on. But be careful. As rewarding as it might feel to win over the heart of someone you’ve been longing for, it may not be fully reciprocated in the ways that you would like and this is troubling for you. As represented by your assigned tarot card, The Lovers, you of all signs not only understand the immense euphoria that love can bring but also the intense pain that may ensue. Your next love may be a fleeting romance. A chance encounter with fantasy that wasn’t meant to last but rather was meant to be a lesson. It’s not that they don’t care about you, it’s just that they might just be looking for a distraction. Now, I’m usually the kinda friend who will tell their bestie to find someone who can reciprocate the intensity of their feelings but at the same time, I’m also the kind of friend who will keep it real. Yes, it is possible that this can last. You may be able to go the distance but you’ll have to chase pretty hard and at a certain point, it might be you who finally decides it’s not worth it. That you have other things that are more important for you to worry about. Is the pleasure worth the uncertainty of the chase? Because the harder you chase them, the more invested you’ll become. Just remember what you have to lose. This might just be a love rooted in pleasure and passion without the emotional depth and intimacy that you truly crave. 

Cancer

Cards: The Chariot, Nine of Wands, Prince of Wands, King of Swords, The Moon

Your next great love will be a story worth telling the world. Right now you are completely focused on yourself. The last thing you’re expecting is an intense romance but that’s what the cards are telling me. It seems like almost every area of your life is in balance. Career, finances, as well as your emotional and mental state. You’ve healed old wounds and have done the work. Great things may be in store for you. The timing is right, don’t miss your chance. This person will show an equal amount of enthusiasm and reciprocate your intensity so you don’t have to be afraid of whether or not you’re being too much. You’re never being too much. Though you can be emotional at times, Cancer, this person will greatly appreciate it. Right now, they wonder if they’ll ever find someone with your sense of romantics and they’ll be happy that you are who you are. Never feel ashamed of your intensity of love. You are so brave for putting yourself out there at the risk of getting hurt but this will be worth it. This love will move you like the moon moves the tides. You two will complement each other’s differences perfectly and find that you can both relate intellectually as well as spiritually. That’s something that you are missing right now. Though everything else is in place, what is missing is this person. You won’t know that they were missing until you find them along your journey through life. They’ll happily climb aboard your chariot and follow you into the distance. 

Leo

Your Cards: Temperance, Three of Wands, Princess of Swords, Two of Cups, Ace of Swords

Right now you’re feeling incredibly creative. Forging the abstractions of your mind into something tangible. You’ve set your standards much higher for yourself than you have in the past and have stuck to it. Good for you because the universe has something in store for you. Don’t think you ever have to compromise what you want. The thing about this person though is that they’ll go along with whatever you want. Even if they fall short, they’ll strive to make you happy. You set the standards, and they meet the expectations. Trust in that and I promise you won’t be disappointed. This person will feel like a manifestation of everything you’ve been looking for. A renewal of hope and a testament to the longevity of love. This will be a very open and honest love with great communication. You both have something to offer that will uplift you both. They are more spiritually inclined than you and therefore are more emotionally passionate but your fiery energy is what will forge you two together. They can’t help but get lost in your orbit and make you feel like the only person that exists. The rest of the world will go quiet and the only two people who will exist are you and them. 

Virgo

Your Cards: Three of Pentacles, Nine of Pentacles, The High Priestess, Three of Cups, Seven of Swords

This story in love will be a several-part saga. You and this person seem to be crossing paths at a very critical point in your lives. Right now, Virgo, you’re reassessing your priorities and where you currently stand in life. You have such high expectations for yourself and let’s be real, you’re falling quite short of those, but I’m sure you already know this. You’re very focused on the things that must be done to build a strong foundation for your future self and your next great love is on a similar mission. The last thing either of you are anticipating is a grand romance but there are some things out of our control. Neither of you feels ready but emotions are often stronger than logic and so when you do meet this person, you’ll both have a hard time pulling away and doing what’s right. Even after you both try and say goodbye, the universe will pull you both back together. There’s a sorta entanglement here and in the beginning, you’ll both get caught up in the idea of one another even though you both know that if you were to continue, it is doomed to fail. Though you both will care greatly for one another and feel a sense of trust and comfort that has been missing from your other connections, now is just not the time. You’ll cross paths again and again until it is right. It will hurt having to say goodbye over and over again but every time you try to call it quits, there is a silent knowing between the two of you. Words never spoken but felt. A secret language you sense through a simple wink and a smile. This understanding that it will never truly be goodbye forever, just a see you later. 

Libra

Your Cards: Ace of Cups, Four of Pentacles, Ten of Cups, King of Cups, The Magician

Your next great love will be filled with passion and romance yet at the same time, there seems to be a sorta power dynamic here that is at play. Though you both will feel quite strongly about one another, you sense something is off balance. Which makes sense since you’re the sign of justice and balance. When you push, they pull away, and as they sense you pulling away, they push. At the best of times, you both will meet in the middle and share the same level of passion and intimacy but at the worst of times, you might feel like you’re both unable to find an emotional compromise. This love will require communication and understanding of differences but there is a lot of great potential. Just know that love can’t be the only thing that holds you two together. Perhaps in a vacuum of existence, this is the case but unfortunately, we exist in the real world and must abide by those circumstances. Love isn’t always enough, this will take some work from the both of you but the tools you need are right in front of you. Love isn’t supposed to be easy but just because it isn’t always easy doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. 

Scorpio

Your Cards: Queen of Wands, King of Cups, Seven of Pentacles, Three of Wands, Two of Cups

This person will surprise you. If you already don’t know who I’m talking about, just wait. They are in a place where you’re the only person that they want. They are captivated by your melancholic disposition and quiet philosophical demeanor. You’ll find their childlike charm endearing but nothing more than that initially. Give it time. Right now you might feel like the last thing you need is a new lover. You’re quite focused on yourself and all the areas you feel like you’re lacking. Sometimes it feels like you always have to be the one to pull yourself up from the ashes but this will not be the case and it’ll catch you off guard. Initially, you might push them away. Looking for every reason not trust them. Projecting an image onto them that doesn’t exist, but they won’t give up on you. They want to be your shoulder to cry on. They want to show you that you don’t always have to put on a brave face when you’re with each other. They’re happy to take your pain away and turn it into hope. I think deep down inside, you feel like you’re not good enough for them and that they’ll “figure you out” but this is a mindset you’ve developed to protect yourself. It doesn’t have to be like this anymore. Love doesn’t always have to be so grim, don’t get comfortable in your sadness. Find liberation in happiness. 

Sagittarius

Your Cards: The Hanged Man, King of Cups, Ace of Cups, Six of Pentacles, Five of Wands

Some of the most beautiful love stories begin when you look upon the face of someone you’ve known and find that something is different about them. Have their eyes always shined so brightly? Has their laugh always been this infectious? Has their smile always glowed so luminously? This next great love will hit you like a wave and carry you in its drift. Like night and day. But for them, they’ve always noticed your beauty. The way you make their heart flicker. At first, they just chalked it up to friendly chemistry but over time they started to realize it’s more than this. But with that said there may be something that comes in between the two of you. It’s sad to say but you can have everything going right between two people and it still isn’t enough. There is great potential here but it isn’t guaranteed. Life may or may not have other plans. Perhaps the intensity of it all may be too much for you both to handle right now. There is a lot that you both will have to work through and in the end, this might just be destined to become another lesson. An opportunity to grow and learn.

Capricorn

Your Cards: Ace of Wands, Judgement, Ace of Swords, Prince of Pentacles, Ten of Wands

Deep down Capricorn, you’re a very passionate and sensual lover but upon first impressions, this is not always what people think of you. Your next great lover is someone who misjudged you. You’re all business and you know exactly what you want in life and how to get it and this might intimidate them. The second you lock eyes, you won’t smile, your eyes won’t flicker, you’ll look right through them as if you’ve known them your whole life and they will feel this. But who are you, they’ll wonder. They’ll wonder if someone like them could even fit into your grand life plan. For you Capricorn, it’s not that you’re not interested in love, you’re just not interested in beating around the bush anymore. You’ve done that in the past. You’ve played the games and felt like it didn’t get you anywhere in the end. Why waste time playing guessing games? Perhaps they’ll see you as someone who isn’t looking for anything serious. They might see you as someone they’ll be lucky just to spend the night with. But as you two grow closer and your walls start to come down, they’ll realize you’re the real deal. Love isn’t transactionary for you but you live in the real world. You’re building a life for yourself and if they want to join you they are more than welcome to. At first, they may be hesitant just based off of first impressions. They may have a hard time figuring you out, but once they get to your emotional core, they’ll realize that this love is worth investing in. It is practical, stable, and real. 

Aquarius

Your Cards: The Devil, Two of Cups, Ten of Cups, Temperance, Princess of Cups

It’s not healthy to conflate the volatility of emotions with healthy stable love. Intensity doesn’t always mean it’s meant to be. This is something you’ve conditioned yourself into believing. If you’re not feeling fireworks on the first date, you think it’s not worth it. This is an unhealthy belief system that you’ve grown comfortable in and it may affect your relationship with your next great love. I’m going to be honest, while you two will have beautiful moments together and create great art out of your love, you might be the bad guy in this situation. Not because you have ill intentions or because you lack self-awareness, but because you think that this is the way love should be. This person on the other hand will have much less experience than you, Aquarius. They don’t have the stories and adventures in love like you. They might be a bit naive and believe that matters of the heart are bursts of sunshine and rainbows. You will consume their world and their thoughts to the point where everything is about you but this might not be stable. For now, it will work but make sure you continuously check in with yourself and ask if you’re being unfair. They will do everything they can to make you happy but this can’t be a one-sided relationship. It’s time you start giving without taking. If you do, this will be a beautiful and lasting affair. 

Pisces

Your Cards: Ten of Swords, Four of Pentacles, Prince of Cups, Prince of Pentacles, Death

This next great love may or may not be what you need right now. I hate to say it, but I’m just going to be honest with you, Pisces. I think life has brought you down lately and you might be in a place where you’re wondering whether or not it will ever get better. I promise you that it will, that is certainly in the cards, but your next great love may not have the best intentions with you. There is a stable foundation that you two will share but because you’re at a very low place right now, you might depend on them for your happiness. They will sense this weakness, and take advantage of it. I think you will know it might not be the best for you to be with them but it’s hard to turn away because there will be a false sense of security. But don’t think that just because you feel like you’re not strong enough means you won’t be able to stand up for yourself. What you will gain is greater than what they will try and take away from you. Through this endeavor, you will find yourself shedding the pieces of you that no longer service you in the long run. You won’t regret the day you said yes to them because it will make you realize that you are strong enough to pick yourself up and it will help lay the foundation for a love that will respect you.
