Tarot Readings For 3 Zodiac Signs Sitting On Emotional Time Bombs

We don’t always have the emotional energy to process and deal with emotions (especially complex ones) when they initially present themselves.

While we can hold on to those big, gnarly feelings for a while, it can’t be indefinite – eventually we start to crack. Aries, Taurus, and Virgo are sitting on some emotional time bombs, and can make some big strides if they work through them. Our tarot reader has done readings for each of them.

• Working For You – What’s working for you in the situation
• Working Against You – What’s working against you?
• Your Mental State – How you’re dealing with the situation mentally.
• Your Subconscious – What’s going on subconsciously. 
• Advice – Some advice on how to deal with things, or what to examine next.

Aries

Working For You – 10 of Wands. You’re so close to finishing a big project – the very thing that took you away from processing all of those big feelings. 

Working Against You – Strength. It may be strange to see strength as working against you, but in this case, your ability to keep moving far past the point you should have sorted through your feelings to arrive at your emotional balancing point isn’t an asset. The longer you wait, the worse the backlash may become. 

Your Mental State – Justice. You’re working towards a greater good, and your mind is occupied with bringing justice forth in a difficult situation. It’s not the best mental state in which to do deep emotional work, but remember – being able to fully process difficult emotions will ultimately help you to not only be more clear-sighted about what justice means, but to help you continue to fight your good fight. 

Your Subconscious – 4 of Swords, Reversed. With everything on your plate, including all of the unprocessed emotions you’re carrying in their raw (and more painful) form, it’s harder and harder for you to get the rest that you need to get through your days. Your subconscious offers no respite.

Advice – King of Cups, Reversed. Expecting yourself to handle everything on your plate perfectly isn’t being reasonable, and is ultimately setting yourself up for failure. You don’t have to process everything all at once. Give yourself grace. 

Taurus

Working For You – Page of Cups. You know you’ve taken on too much, you’re sensitive enough to the signs that you’re able to give yourself emotional time outs while you try and work through everything else. 

Working Against You – The Lovers, Reversed. From here on out, you are working with a lot of blocked energy, and one of the areas in which you are blocked, frustrated, or unable to access your authentic self is your growing unease with some of the choices you’ve made and how they sit next to your values. It could be embodied by a person, job, career, or even in a recent situation. The more that you deny the emotional load that you are carrying, the more likely you are to make decisions that are out of step with yourself. 

Your Mental State – 10 of Wands, Reversed. Mentally you’re feeling overburdened. Part of it may be due to your tendency to take on more tasks than necessary, but regardless of how you picked up these mental burdens – they’re there. The next time you find yourself stumbling into darker thoughts, allow yourself to question them. Have you taken on mental work that isn’t really yours? 

Your Subconscious – 5 of Swords, Reversed. You know that it’s time for you to move on, even if you haven’t processed enough of your feelings to truly let it go yet. 

Advice – 10 of Swords, Reversed. Sometimes the best thing you can say about some of the worst moments in life is that they are over and you survived them. You’ll get there, but it’s going to take facing how you feel about things so you can write the end of the chapter.

Virgo

Working For You – The Emperor. Your internal sense of structure and order is really working for you. It’s like you have a process and an answer for everything, so even when you’re having emotional difficulties or are feeling dysregulated, you have a script and an action plan. This consistent, grounded action doesn’t just keep you moving forward, it gives you the confidence to know that even in the most challenging moments, you’re making progress.

Working Against You – Ace of Cups, Reversed. There are a lot of new emotions that you could be feeling and using to heal, but until you work through everything you’re sitting on, you won’t have access to them. This can be especially risky when you’re in situations that have emotional resonance with what you’re repressing or are holding in an unprocessed state. 

Your Mental State – The Sun, Reversed. Mentally you’re still able to do well, and have the optimism that comes with having a solid plan. The problem is that you’ll hold a bit of sadness even in the face of success. In the moments you should be able to soak in perfect clarity, there will be blind spots. It won’t diminish your success or the meaning of what you’ve been doing – but it may impact the light in which you see it. 

Your Subconscious – Knight of Swords. The problem with having a script and a plan that you are going to execute to the letter is that it can be a form of denial in and of itself. Life isn’t just about how you perform or what you produce, and often our internal scripts and processes drain nuance, and lock us away from meaningful choices and possibilities. 

Advice – The World, Reversed. The biggest favor and best thing that you can do for yourself is to fully process how you feel. Instead of seeing it as ‘unseen overhead’ in what was otherwise a perfectly executed plan, allow yourself to see it as an emotional ‘lessons learned’ session for yourself.
