Tarotscope for Today: Sunday, May 19, 2024

Aries

Your Card: Page of Swords

Focus on the end goal today Aries. Remind yourself what you are after in the long run, why the small steps you make every single day matter, and how they amount to something greater in the end. The Page of Swords represents a clear head and an observant eye on the prize. The Page of Swords is concerned with the higher realm of intellect thus encouraging you to do the same. Don’t be afraid to be your voice and tell the world exactly what you want. The world is incredibly receptive to your thoughts and ideas today so take advantage of this energy. 

Taurus

Your Card: Five of Swords

You might want to reassess how you’ve been going about fighting your battles, Taurus. With the Five of Swords present here, it seems as if in your quest to get the things that you want, you’ve completely ignored the fact that other people are involved and human emotions will always play a role in the outcome. At times, you can be incredibly direct, preferring to get right to the point. However, you underestimate others’ abilities to not take things emotionally. People are people and there is nothing that can be done about that. You are no better Taurus. You are a bull after all. Passionate at the best of times though stubborn at the worst of times, unable to see things differently once you’ve made up your mind. You might think that you have acted rationally, but your own emotions may have come into play. Take a step back. 

Gemini

Your Card: Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups asks for you to stare at your reflection and ponder whether or not your inner world resembles that of your outer presence. You may perceive yourself one way, Gemini, but is this the person you see staring back at you through that reflection? Take the time to remove yourself from your self-perception, and try to see things a bit more objectively. As objectively as humanly possible rather. That is not to say you should be incredibly self-critical to the point where you engage in toxic self-talk, but rather embody the spirit of the Queen of Cups and take a more maternal and nurturing stance when evaluating yourself. You may find yourself filled with a certain sense of emotional energy that you can extend back toward yourself. If you want to match your inner world to your outer world, it will require some deep contemplation. 

Cancer

Your Card: Two of Cups

Today you might be experiencing a sense of longing for a particular person in your life who means the world to you. Whether it be an old lover, friend, or estranged family member. There is a piece of you that they carry with them and you might feel sort’ve incomplete without that person present. Perhaps you encounter something funny that you think they’d also laugh at. Or you feel a sense of accomplishment and wish to share it with them. Know that with the Two of Cups, you are not alone in this feeling. They miss you too and have so many stories they wish they could tell you. Now just might not be the right time. But the time for you two to reconnect will come eventually, Cancer. 

Leo

Your Card: Three of Cups

Friendship might be on your mind today, Leo. This includes the friends you have now and the friends you used to have that have left your life for one reason or another. Often the people we surround ourselves with are a reflection of the deeper aspects of our psyche. There is something that unconsciously draws us towards one another. If there is something you dislike about another person, ask yourself in what ways you share this same trait that you judge them for. Today Leo, you will feel abundance through those you surround yourself with. But it is important to remind yourself that it is not the quantity of people you surround yourself with but rather the quality. Having an entourage doesn’t make you a richer person if those people don’t have your best interest.

Virgo

Your Card: Six of Cups

There is a good chance that whatever happens today, you remember fondly for years to come. There is a sense of nostalgia attached to this day for you Virgo. You probably haven’t felt this way in a long time and it might remind you of the innocence and wonder you once felt for the world before everything got so serious. Don’t be in a rush, take in every second, and remember to stay present. Savor every single moment this day brings. The small moments, the big moments. The scents, the sights. It’s important for us to feel like little kids every once in a while and not to take things so seriously all the time. And when you look back on today, it’ll feel like re-watching one of your favorite movies. 

Libra

Your Card: Ace of Swords

In tarot Swords represent the element of air which symbolizes the invisible force of intellect. With the Ace of Swords, this refers to a breakthrough and clarity of thinking. And while this breakthrough is new for you, there’s a good chance everyone around you has been telling you the answer but you just weren’t ready to hear it yet. It’s interesting how that works. No matter how many times your friends or your family members give you the answers you are searching for, it doesn’t click until it becomes a thought you convince yourself you came up with on your own. But regardless, you’re finally there and you’re finally seeing the truth. It may have been there all along, but at least you’re seeing it now. 

Scorpio

Your Card: Knight of Swords

If there’s any sort of opportunity that presents itself to you today Scorpio, say yes. You might be feeling some level of hesitation. Wondering if it’s the right thing to do or whether or not you’re straying from your path, however, with the Knight of Swords, it is a sign that you should ride like the wind and take the chance before it passes. You may end up regretting it later on if you say no. Do so with enthusiasm and fearlessness. It seems like what’s been holding you back lately has been your insecurities. Don’t let your mind get the best of you. You have to overcome this block to open more doors of opportunity in the future. 

Sagittarius

Your Card: The Devil

When it comes to experiences such as romantic love or financial success, it seems that the highs equally match the lows. For example, as much as you may feel that euphoric feeling of romantic love for someone and feel loved by them, inversely the degree of pain they may or may not cause is as painful as it is pleasurable. With that in mind, Sagittarius, The Devil card serves as a reminder of this. You may have been experiencing some sort of positive high in regards to something but this may take a turn for whatever reason. However, this doesn’t mean you should give up hope. This doesn’t mean that things won’t get better. It just means that this is a part of life and whatever downturn you might experience will pass eventually. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Knight of Pentacles

Today you’re seeing real growth, Capricorn. Not small glimmers of hope. Not small synchronicities sent by the universe that you have to decipher and interpret, but real tangible growth that will continue in measurable ways. You’ve been making small adjustments to your day-to-day life to improve your current situation and even though some of those days you wonder if the end goal you seek is possible, today you will believe more than you have in a long time that it is possible and you’re doing all the right things. Take today as a sign that you should continue down this path because the success will grow exponentially. This could be regarding your health, finances, career, love, or even all of the above. Remember to remain in a positive mindset as this will only expedite the process. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Eight of Cups 

If you feel like life has become stale and boring, Aquarius, it’s because you’re not challenging yourself anymore. You’ve grown accustomed to your current way of being and while this may be comfortable for you, there is no growth in comfort. Perhaps today is the day you set a new goal. What is something you’ve been wanting to accomplish but have been putting off? What aspects of yourself have room for improvement? The Eight of Cups depicts a man walking away from something familiar but no longer keeping his interest. He is on a quest for something new. It is time that you set off on some sort of new venture to expand your way of being. 

Pisces

Your Card: Seven of Swords

Err on the side of caution today, Pisces. There is someone close to you who doesn’t necessarily have your best interests in mind. You probably have an idea of who I’m referring to. It’s easy for this person to take your words and completely spin them in a way that isn’t accurate to your intent. They might be spreading rumors that paint you in an unfavorable light. For now, tread with caution. You don’t need to confront them directly but rather keep them at a distance. It’s better not to engage and add fuel to the fire.
