Tarot Advice On How Each Zodiac Can Face Their Fears Head On
All of us carry fears. They can spring up out of nowhere, or be built over years.
It’s better to face and address your fears than to try to avoid them. Your best self is worth this work! Our tarot reader has pulled a tarot card to help guide each zodiac as they face their fears.
Aries
Your Card: Page of Cups, Reversed. Tap into your creative side to help you process and face your fears. What you are carrying you’ve been carrying for a while, Aries. Some of the fears that block you from your best, most creative, self sprung from a core experience whose emotional trauma still lies deep within you. Emotionally reconnect with the joy and empowerment of creation, and you’ll find that your fears shrink in when captured through the light of your expression.
Taurus
Your Card: 7 of Swords, Reversed. The type of perspective you need in order to face your fears is going to challenge you to take an honest inventory of where you are and how you got here, Taurus. It can be hard to face some of the darkest parts of our mind and selves, but telling yourself everything is okay when it’s not will not give you access to the fulfilling and promise-filled life that you deserve. There’s nothing within you that you can’t face.
Gemini
Your Card: 9 of Cups, Reversed. It can be a surreal and traumatic experience to be afraid of getting what you want. More than many, you understand the duality of the world, Gemini, and often the idea of potential can be a burden. See if you can trace those fears back as far as possible, to determine what the root narrative is that brought them into being. It will feel daunting, but the effort will be worth it.
Cancer
Your Card: 7 of Pentacles. Working through our fears is rarely as simple as we’d like to think it is, so don’t expect that you’ll make quick work of everything. Knowing what your fear is might not be half the battle – or even a quarter of it, Cancer. Our fears often spring from our traumas, and there are some things that just take time – like healing. As you work through the root of your fear and your reactions to it, give yourself grace and patience.
Leo
Your Card: Queen of Swords. The best way for you to approach facing your fears is to bring your analytical self to the table, Leo. Being analytic doesn’t mean that you can leave your emotions behind, as understanding your emotional experience is an important component of facing your fears. Your intellect – both logical and emotional – will help guide you, and help you determine how to best address your fears and work through them.
Virgo
Your Card: 8 of Pentacles, Reversed. There’s no way to perfect how you face your fears, Virgo, so your normal tried and true problem-solving approaches may not work. There are times when the emotional work is just messy, and learning the skills to deal with that is something that can only happen ‘on the job.’ Give yourself some grace, and don’t allow yourself to pass a moment of progress by in the hopes of achieving ‘perfection.’
Libra
Your Card: 4 of Pentacles, Reversed. You’ve fought hard for the stable life you’re trying to lead, and you’ve worked to get yourself to a point of security. It’s natural to want to hold on tightly to what you’ve built, Libra, especially when things feel scary. Face the fear you feel about letting go of your control, and know that the fear of scarcity of resources – be they physical, emotional, or spiritual, ultimately limits us in our journey towards our best self.
Scorpio
Your Card: 6 of Cups. Understanding the emotional weight of moments of your past will serve you as you face your fears in the present, Scorpio. You more than anyone have the tools needed to meet this moment – your ability to be compassionate and sympathetic are first-rate. As you face what you’ve been dreading, remember the lessons of your past, and all the trials and challenges you survived to get where you are today.
Sagittarius
Your Card: The Hierophant, Reversed. For some of us, the old ways of spirituality haunt instead of heal, Sagittarius. It’s a good indicator that we have to trust our spiritual instincts and our ability to align our intentions with our values. If you find yourself in conflict with old teachings and a new path that would be meaningful for you, remember that your insights on how to handle your fears are more valid than those who haven’t experienced what you have.
Capricorn
Your Card: 9 of Swords, Reversed. Examine the root of your fear, Capricorn. Many times you may find the fears that loom largest in your head have been created around a core of remembered pain, built up larger and larger by your thoughts. The longer you allow them to fester, unexamined, the harder your future work will be. You are worthy of a less fearful life, and you are more than capable enough to not only face your fears, but dispel them.
Aquarius
Your Card: Strength. The gentle and consistent power of your compassion is a great asset for you as you face your fears, Aquarius. As you unravel your fears and follow the threads towards their source, remember you are as worthy of your kindness as anyone else. Strength isn’t about not having any fears at all, it’s about your willingness to face them. You are a powerful inspiration for others, and you’ll find your strength when you can do the same for yourself.
Pisces
Your Card: 5 of Wands. You don’t have to do it all alone, Pisces. When faith in yourself fails, use the faith others have in you. Those who truly care about will be more than happy to support you emotionally as you face your fears, and may even have insight into how to address them. Even if we live solitary lifestyles, we are still connected, and there is a lot of inspiration to be found in how others have faced and conquered their fears.
