Tarotscope For Today: Sunday, August 11, 2024

Aries

Your Card: The Empress

It seems your confidence isn’t what it used to be, Aries. Usually, your fiery energy burns bright and makes it hard for others to ignore your presence. But something has been throwing you off. Perhaps you’re experiencing some sort of heartbreak or disappointment in life, where things aren’t going your way, thus causing your confidence to waver. The Empress is a reminder that the best medicine you can prescribe yourself in these moments of doubt and insecurity is self-improvement. Embrace the glow-up. Love the glow down for what it is because it means you’re on the verge of rapid self-improvement. Don’t look for validation from romantic partners or unappreciative employers, find that validation you crave within yourself. 

Taurus

Your Card: Four of Swords

Though it’s healthy to take a breather from disputes that cause division and stress, it’s best not to retreat for too long, Taurus. You can’t hide from the source of conflict. At some point, you’re going to have to face it and deal with the problem. Take the time today to figure out the best way to solve your issues but promise yourself that by tomorrow, you’re going to follow through and move past this. You might be scared of disappointment by facing these problems, but I promise you, nothing will get better if you stay stagnant and hope that your issues just magically disappear on their own. Out of sight doesn’t always mean out of mind. 

Gemini

Your Card: Temperance 

Find balance today, Gemini. You are the sign of duality, meaning there is no grey area for you. Most of the time you are either hot or cold. Distant or present. Happy or sad. There is no in-between. Right now there might be someone that you either love or hate but this intensity is only affecting you negatively. Find a place of indifference when it comes to those around you. You don’t always need to hold such strong opinions of others. 

Cancer

Your Card: Page of Wands

Follow your heart today, Cancer. Your heart will not lead you astray. Others will have their own opinions on what they feel is the best for you to do in this situation. While those people with opinions have good intentions, that doesn’t necessarily mean that their advice is what’s best for you. You know what’s best for you, Cancer. Trust that. Not every decision that is right is completely backed by logic. Sometimes making the right move is a matter of trusting your gut despite what others think. Trust that regardless of where your heart leads you, you’re gonna be alright in the end. 

Leo

Your Card: Knight of Cups

Today your outer world will reflect your inner world, Leo. Lately, you’ve been kinder to yourself. Appreciating who you are, flaws and all. Today you might feel a sense of self-love that will influence the way others treat you. The Knight of Cups might indicate that lately, you’ve been feeling romantic about your life in general. There is a certain “je ne sais quoi” about the energy surrounding you lately that is quite poetic. You carry with you an energy that will make it harder than usual for others to turn away from. This is probably because you’ve been so kind to yourself lately, appreciating yourself for who you are. Show the world love and the world will love you back. 

Virgo

Your Card: The Devil

The Devil tarot card isn’t a bad omen, so don’t let it scare you, Virgo. However, the presence of The Devil card might suggest that you feel chained to the pain of pleasure and that if you don’t correct your behavior now, it’ll bite you in the ass later on. You’re looking for short bursts of dopamine hits in all the wrong places, convincing yourself that you have no control over the situation. It’s time to shift your thinking from the short term to what’s going to help in the long run. Remember that everything you do now is in service to your future self.

Libra

Your Card: Queen of Wands

You’re not indecisive, you just take your time when it comes to making decisions. Always making sure to list out the pros and cons. Considering the effects your actions might cause. However today, with the Queen of Wands, no need to be so diplomatic with your decisions. You are able to think quickly and trust that. Don’t double back. You know what needs to be done and what measures must be taken. Today, taking too much time to think things over might work against you. 

Scorpio

Your Card: The Hierophant 

You’re looking for shortcuts but The Hierophant might suggest that perhaps you just have to follow the steps that have been laid out to you. Sometimes there are no shortcuts in life. Though you feel eager to jump ahead and show others what you are capable of, you might not be as qualified as you think. Perhaps slow down a bit and have patience as you work your way up today. 

Sagittarius

Your Card: Nine of Cups

Unfortunately, life isn’t meant to be a hundred percent perfect. No matter what, there is always something missing. But by focusing on what’s missing, you’re taking for granted what’s there. It seems like so much has gone right for you up until now, yet there is this one thing that prevents you from truly feeling content. You think that if this one problem didn’t exist or if it was solved, then you’d finally have the “perfect life”. Don’t trick yourself into believing this. Life will never be a hundred-percent perfect so don’t let the reality of this sour your outlook. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Page of Pentacles

When I see the Page of Pentacles, I see a young person who is sure of themself and their decisions. Someone who has complete trust in their abilities and what they plan to accomplish. Walking their own path, guided by the universe and its synchronicities because the Page of Pentacles knows that the things they want and are working towards will manifest when the time is right. With that said, Capricorn, you are the Page of Pentacles today. Things are slowly coming to fruition and though not everything will turn out exactly the way you hope it will, trust that things will work out the way they are meant to. It’s for the best this way. When one door closes another one opens. Have patience and trust that you are being guided in the right direction. The universe will not lead you astray today. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Queen of Cups

Today you are borderline psychic, Aquarius. If you’re having trouble trusting your intuition, take the presence of the Queen of Cups as a sign that you’re not wrong. You’re letting your anxiety get the best of you and therefore clouding your judgment. What you’re feeling and are suspicious of isn’t made up. There’s a very valid reason why you are feeling this way. This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who is reading this and what situation they’re in. Regardless, just know that you’re not wrong. There is some truth to what you are sensing. 

Pisces

Your Card: Nine of Swords

You are letting the world get to you too much, Pisces. The Nine of Swords indicates a feeling of anxiety that is self-inflicted. You are creating problems that don’t actually exist. You’re assuming everyone hates you or has something negative to say about you right now but what you’re doing is creating false versions of these people to confirm your own insecurities and self-held beliefs. You’re letting your mind and your tendency to overthink things get the best of you. Step outside of your head as best as you can.
