Tarotscope For Today: Friday, August 16, 2024

Aries

Your card: The Hermit

Some problems just need to be solved on your own rather than asking for help or opinions of other people. This is one of those times. Today, lead yourself in the right direction. Luckily, you’re a master at doing everything yourself (even when maybe you shouldn’t), so you’ll do just fine.

Taurus

Your card: 8 of Pentacles

If you want to get good at something, you just have to keep trying. Today, skip the procrastination that’s come knocking on your door and get stuff done instead. You can always take a break tomorrow. In the meantime, work hard, get good, and become the person you want to be.

Gemini

Your card: 3 of Swords

Feeling lonely or down today? Maybe you woke up in a weird mood and now there’s a dark cloud that seems to be following you around. Be careful with how you interact with people because that bad mood may color how you’re perceived. Sometimes you just have to sit with the heartbreak.

Cancer

Your card: 8 of Swords

Quit blaming your problems on other people. While outside forces may have been in play in your circumstances, there comes a point when you get to decide how you react–or for how long. Today, take your power back. This is your life, and you’re the one in the driver’s seat.

Leo

Your card: 9 of Pentacles

If you were looking for a time to treat yourself, this is it. If there’s something you’ve been wanting–and can afford–go for it today. While money can’t buy happiness, so they say, it can still make the world shine a little brighter sometimes. So go for it, babe.

Virgo

Your card: The Tower

Things aren’t as rosy as they might have seemed. Something’s happening today that will make you question everything. It’s easier said than done, but you get to decide how you feel about this and how you’ll react. Do you feed the chaos or do you work to tamp it down?

Libra

Your card: 7 of Wands

You’re going to be tested today. While you might have some drive to persevere in the face of adversity, you’ll see if you really can stand against opposition. Don’t let anyone else’s opinions keep you from doing what you think is right for yourself. It may cause a fight, but some fights are worth having.

Scorpio

Your card: 6 of Swords

Take it easy today. Life has been hard lately and if you keep going the way you have, you could end up burnt out and unhappy. Instead of fighting a lost cause or working so hard for little reward, just rest and recuperate today instead. Sometimes doing nothing at all is the exact right thing you need.

Sagittarius

Your card: Temperance

Moderation is paramount today. Take it easy, stay away from things you know you over-do, and lay low. Choose balance rather than going full-force like you normally would. It may feel unnatural, but don’t ignore the message the cards are trying to tell you right now.

Capricorn

Your card: The Devil

Who’s pulling the strings today? Is it you, or is it your shadow self? Before you go making a decision you might end up regretting, check in with yourself to see if this is something you actually want. What are the consequences of this choice? Will you still want to make it in a week?

Aquarius

Your card: King of Cups

Emotional control isn’t just about keeping your emotions in check. Sometimes we can overcorrect and never let anyone know how we really feel under the guise of “balance.” Truth is, you may need to start opening up a bit. Today, let someone know how you really feel.

Pisces

Your card: Queens of Cups

Your friends and family often come to you when something’s dramatic in their life. While you might have tons of opinions on what’s happening in their lives and what they should do, it’s better to keep that to yourself today. Instead, just be a calm and comforting listener as they vent.
