Tarotscope For Today: Friday, April 19, 2024

Aries

Your Card: Temperance

Today marks the last day of Aries season, and with the Temperance card, you should take the day to reflect on the direction that you’re heading in. Aries season represents new beginnings and is a time for boldly telling the world what you want. Now that that time has passed and you’ve clearly set your intentions, protect your inner peace, and find tranquility within yourself. There’s an entire year ahead of you, Aries, so don’t burn yourself out too soon. Continue to cultivate this energy you’ve spent time creating and it will carry you through whatever lies ahead. The rest of the year will be a continuation of everything you’ve started. The road won’t get easier, the universe will continue to test you because in the major arcana lineup, after Temperance comes The Devil where the strength you possess over your vices is tested. That’s why today is a good day to reset, assess your weak points, and come up with a clear plan for overcoming your shadow.

Taurus

Your Card: Five of Wands

Let bygones be bygones, Taurus. With the Five of Wands, you may be experiencing high tensions with one person or multiple people at the moment. Mercury is still in retrograde and will be until April 25th, so don’t allow your temper to get the best of you. You are represented by the bull, so at times you can be a bit stubborn and hot-headed. Now is not the time to react emotionally, this will only make things worse. Maybe reacting emotionally might feel good in the moment, but it’ll only lead to more tension. Take a couple of days to simmer down. Reconnect with nature. Find something that helps you recenter yourself. Whatever this conflict is can wait to be resolved. Perhaps wait till after the 25th. There are challenges still left to overcome so don’t make anything worse than it already may be. Tomorrow marks the start of Taurus season. Free yourself from this contempt because your time to overcome is on the horizon. 

Gemini

Your Card: The Empress

The Empress asks you to channel your inner divine feminine. Use the power of words to create beauty and unity. There are those around you who would benefit from a nurturing voice of reason. Create beauty and end conflict with compassion and understanding. The best solutions to our problems come not from talking and being heard but rather from listening and making others feel understood.

Cancer

Your Card: Queen of Pentacles

After the shit show that has been mercury retrograde, we are nearing the end of this transit and the theme of today is stability. The past month may have been an emotional roller coaster, but the relief you’ve been seeking is on the horizon. Today may be the first day in a while you’re able to take a deep breath and commend yourself for getting through it all. The Queen of Pentacles represents stability and prosperity. You may be feeling especially energized to make something happen for yourself as the Queen is represented by water and earth (emotions and the physical), meaning she is in no rush because she knows that the things that she is working towards establishing will come when it is time. For now, take it day by day, because things will only get better from here.

Leo

Your Card: Queen of Wands

The Queen of Wands is no doubt one of the most charismatic of the court cards. She understands the power of strong social prowess and how the words we choose and the energy we omit leave a strong impression on people. Leo, you’re already such a magnetic sign but today you are enigmatic. Today is a good day to use this energy to your advantage. Whether you’re trying to climb the hierarchical ladder at work or network with like-minded individuals, you will get the things that you want as long as your voice is clear and confident and you set yourself up with good intentions.

Virgo

Your Card: Two of Pentacles

In numerology, the number two represents partnerships, companionship, and friendship. Two is better than one, Virgo, and I know how much you enjoy your independence and solitude, however today is a good day to consider a strong partnership between you and another like-minded individual. The Two of Pentacles represents balance in the physical world. With that said, there is someone who brings out the best in you and vice versa. Opposites attract for a reason, and this could mark a very powerful union that influences the mind and body and brings balance to our physical existence. Consider where you may be lacking in yourself right now and how someone else can bring out the best in you. This could be regarding work, love, or friendship.

Libra

Your Card: Two of Cups

Today, Libra, you may be experiencing a profound connection with someone who may either be a stranger or someone you just haven’t clicked with in the past. Perhaps you two have gotten off on the wrong foot and find that you both have much more in common than you thought. The Two of Cups represents emotional balance and emotional unity that can stir your heart. There will be no missed connections today. There is a reason why this person is entering your life. Consider the lasting effects of this connection.

Scorpio

Your Card: Ten of Swords

Today is about picking up the pieces of yesterday. It is a new day, Scorpio, and yesterday doesn’t have to be today. The Ten of Swords can be an intimidating card to receive, but it doesn’t have to be. There is meaning in the pain. Today, you can either let the negativity win or you can stand up and say “I’m not taking it anymore” and do something about it. You’re only as weak as you think you are and as strong as you want to be today.

Sagittarius

Your Card: Five of Cups

Don’t beat yourself up today, Sagittarius. Things aren’t nearly as bad as they seem. But continuing down this path of self-loathing and negative inner dialogue will only blind you from seeing the opportunities that are still available to you. The Five of Cups is a sign to let go of any old lingering emotional problems and welcome a wonderful transformation. There is beauty in pain, and the Five of Cups represents a comforting sadness—a sadness that is as sweet as it is bitter. Try your best to change your perspective and welcome the pain in a loving way.

Capricorn

Your Card: Three of Swords

You are learning a very important lesson today, Capricorn. As painful as it may be, it is necessary. I hate to say it, but you have no one to blame but yourself. You need to stop blaming the world for every transgression and problem that affects you. The question shouldn’t be “Why me?” but rather “How can I grow from this?” Things aren’t as bad as they seem, but they won’t get better until you finally learn the lessons that the universe is trying to drill into your head. Otherwise, you’re doomed to find yourself in this position yet again. The illustration on the Three of Swords tarot card depicts a beating heart with three swords piercing it. This can represent grief and pain in regards to love, but this moment is fleeting, and I can guarantee you that tomorrow you’ll be feeling rejuvenated and free once you accept the lessons of this teaching.

Aquarius

Your Card: Nine of Cups

The Nine of Cups represents satisfaction and happiness within yourself, your independence, and the life you’ve built for yourself. You don’t need anybody else today to lift your spirits, Aquarius. You can do that all by yourself right now. Celebrate today. You might not have anything in particular that you’re happy about, but why not celebrate the fact that you’re here, you’re alive, and you’ve made it thus far? That is something worth jumping for joy over.

Pisces

Your Card: Death

The Death card is not to be feared, much like death itself is not to be feared but rather accepted. In the major arcana, The Death card comes after The Hanged Man, which is a time of reassessment and breaking away from patterns that no longer service you. Pisces, it seems you have been deeply reevaluating the ways you’ve gone about things in the past and are ready to let go of parts of yourself that you no longer wish to identify with. Death means the release of your ego and it is a reminder that we ultimately choose the person we want to be. Nothing is holding us to our past. The past is an illusion. Every second forward is what counts from here on out.
