Tarotscope For Today: Saturday, May 11, 2024

ARIES

Your Card: Ace of Swords, reversed

Today you might find yourself struggling with making a choice, but it isn’t a day for taking any kind of big action. Try to hold off on making any significant decisions or making any huge changes until you gain more mental clarity. Things feel uncertain and confusing right now, and maybe your judgment is clouded—and that’s okay. You just have to give yourself grace and be patient as you cut through all the noise. Take baby steps, weigh out your options, examine the situation from every angle, and look at the facts. Most importantly, don’t let anyone else or any preconceived notions that you may have skew your perspective. Take your time, the right answer is going to come to you. Don’t rush it, or you might risk putting yourself in a sticky circumstance. 

TAURUS

Your Card: Three of Wands, reversed

You might feel some slight disappointment today because things aren’t working out the way you planned and hoped for, or you may be hitting an obstacle along the way, but don’t let this deter you from the goal in sight. It may feel like you’re not making any progress and this period of stagnancy may be frustrating, but it’s not a reflection of your efforts. You’re not doing anything wrong. Take this as an opportunity to pause and reevaluate your approach and direction. Could you be looking at things from a different perspective? Is there something new you could try? Are your objectives still in alignment with your values and desires? Do you need to change course? Perhaps what it’s going to take is you forcing yourself outside your comfort zone. It may feel scary, but sometimes the best things in life come from embracing change. 

GEMINI

Your Card: Six of Pentacles, reversed

Today may bring forth some inequality, just make sure that you’re not the guilty party. It’s also important that you stay wary of others trying to pull an imbalanced power dynamic with you. True generosity means nothing when there are strings attached. Compassion should never come with expectations. If you find yourself extending yourself over to others and thinking about how it could benefit you, then stop yourself right there. The same holds true for being careful of people who appear giving and kind, then try to hold it over your head. Watch out for manipulation today, and don’t try to control others or allow yourself to be controlled by anyone. 

CANCER

Your Card: Knight of Swords

At some point, you’re going to have to start putting your ideas into action. There is no better time than the present, so use today to begin laying down the foundations for what it is that you wish to accomplish. You’re going to have to be assertive and bold when it comes to making big changes and getting what you want. That promotion or raise that you want isn’t going to happen unless you’re direct and make your case. That extra stream of income you’ve been thinking about isn’t going to magically present itself into your life, you have to start that side hustle. Let whatever it is that motivates you propel you into taking the necessary steps to make your dreams a reality. You don’t have to start big, but you do have to start. Draw out a plan. Brainstorm what it is that it’s going to take. Just get up and make some moves, Cancer. 

LEO

Your Card: King of Wands

It’s time to stop hiding who you are and denying yourself what you desire. In order to pursue your ambitions, you’re going to have to be confident and assert yourself. It all starts with expressing yourself, so speak it, Leo. It’s up to you and you alone to take control of your own life. The King of Wands is a trailblazer who urges you to embody that energy and be fearless when it comes to creating the life, love, or career you’ve always envisioned. You inherently have such a powerful presence, so use it to manifest. There’s nothing standing in your way but fear. You want to pitch an idea to your boss? Then stop waiting. You want to step up your role at work? Then make it be known. You want to define the relationship? Then be direct and spell out your emotional needs and desires. You deserve every bit of what you want, you just have to stop standing in your own way. 

VIRGO

Your Card: Seven of Cups, reversed 

Today you may be feeling overcome with a renewed sense of determination of focusing on what you find meaningful and fulfilling. If that isn’t the case, then you need to snap out of it and find it. For some time, you’ve been living in purgatory and sleepwalking through your own life, merely existing—not living. It’s time to start taking a more proactive role, and you know this. What can you do today to start acting more decisively and take back control? You don’t have to build everything today or have all the answers, but you do need to do something to make that commitment to yourself. Set clear intentions, Virgo. Move out from that realm of fantasy and indecision to a more grounded one. You’ve got this. 

LIBRA

Your Card: Nine of Wands

Don’t let whatever obstacle, adversity, or delay that you face today knock you out of the ring. You have to remain persistent. The Nine of Wands is a reminder of your resilience and of how far you’ve come. It’s also reassurance that you’re coming so close to your objective, so trust the process and remain steadfast in your desires. Cast aside the doubt and fear seeping its way into your mind. Instead, use today to take a step back and check in with yourself. Remind yourself of what it is that motivates you. Ask yourself what more is needed to cross that finish line and achieve your goals. Think of what more you could be doing to take care of your well-being while you work as hard as you do. Be honest with yourself about where you should be redirecting your energy. Whatever you do, don’t lose faith in yourself. 

SCORPIO

Your Card: The Lovers, reversed

Unfortunately, there will be some disharmony making itself known today. It may be a disunity in a relationship, or a personal imbalance in your life causing you to feel disconnected from yourself. You’re going to have to pause and give some thought to whatever is out of alignment. Is there a person in your life that isn’t respecting your needs or forcing you to sacrifice your own? Is work causing you to neglect other areas in your life? What’s getting in the way of the things that you find meaningful and fulfilling? Where in your life are you being denied joy? Reflect and recalibrate. 

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: Eight of Pentacles

You’ve been working extremely hard lately, Sag. For quite a while now, you’ve dedicated yourself entirely to your responsibilities and goals. You haven’t allowed yourself to be distracted and have been entirely committed to your pursuit of success. When was the last time you took any time to yourself? It’s okay to rest and unwind. It’s okay to make the time for a little fun. Life can’t be all work and no play, or you’re going to run yourself ragged. Suddenly the good job you’re doing won’t be so great because there will be nothing left in you to give. This Saturday let yourself do something just for fun. Go shopping. Make a reservation for a boozy brunch. Hit downtown with your friends. Just let loose. 

CAPRICORN 

Your Card: Two of Pentacles, reversed

Your life is lacking balance right now because you’ve overwhelmed yourself with too much work and responsibilities. It could be that you’re biting off more than you can chew, and if that’s the case, you’re going to have to prioritize some things and cut out others. Maybe all you need is a break, so use this weekend to rest and do the things that bring you joy. Catch up with friends. Spend one on one time with your significant others. Clean and organize your space. Watch all the episodes you’ve missed from your favorite show. Give some attention to the other areas of your life that you’ve neglected while you’ve been swamped. Take a break, Capricorn. 

AQUARIUS

Your Card: Queen of Pentacles

The Queen of Pentacles indicates that you need to spend some time doing a little self-care. You tend to do a lot when it comes to being there for and taking care of others. You’ve also been working a lot when it comes to achieving your goals. In the process, you’ve come to neglect yourself. You can’t do all that you do without nurturing yourself first. So, prioritize yourself this Saturday, and forget about everything and everyone else. Indulge a little bit. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and buy that thing you’ve been denying yourself. Book a massage at a spa. Take a long hot bath. Order in food from your favorite restaurant. Unwind. Take care of you. 

PISCES

Your Card: Four of Wands

The Four of Wands indicates that you’re more than likely going to be spending your time socializing. There may be a gathering or party that you’re going to be attending. If there isn’t, then make it happen. It’s crucial to build strong foundations in your life and it all starts with the relationships we maintain. Make an effort to nurture the most important ones this weekend. Invite your family or your bestest friends over for dinner, or make a reservation for everyone at a new restaurant. It’s so easy to lose ourselves in our day-to-day lives and in our responsibilities, that it can be easy to lose sight of what’s truly important. Remind those you love of how much they mean to you today with something as simple as getting drinks and catching up.
