Tarotscope for Today: October 1, 2024
Aries
The Magician, Reversed
There are a lot of ideas around you. You can express yourself in so many different ways but the issue is, you aren’t sure what to pursue. You feel like you have all this energy and nowhere to go. Instead of being able to make the magic you know you can, you feel blocked. Step back and take a deep breath. Direct yourself towards one thing or one skill. Resist the urge to multitask – focused energy will help you become unstuck.
Taurus
Justice, Reversed
You might be feeling overwhelmed by some of the choices you’ve made in the past and how they are impacting your present. It’s ok to process how you feel about mistakes and give yourself a chance to grieve what might have been, but don’t dwell there or drown yourself in regret. Instead consider how you can do better, and how you might be out of balance. The future is yours to shape! You can learn from your experiences, apply that knowledge, and craft the framework for a better future.
Gemini
The Wheel of Fortune
There are times when luck or fate takes control and all we can really do is roll with the punches. Remember that the cycle will continue – and what goes up must come down. We don’t always know which side fortune has favored until well after the fact. I know It’s stressful to feel like you aren’t sure of what’s going on, but it will also be stressful if you try to control everything. Let go and allow everything to happen. Keep your wits about you, and save thinking about your plans for when the dust has settled.
Cancer
Queen of Wands, Reversed
Your creativity has turned into a struggle with self-confidence over bold choices you’d like to make. This inner struggle is dampening your creativity and making you second-guess yourself. Don’t over-correct temporary anxieties by becoming permanently overly controlling. Allow yourself to realize how much your unique light brings to the world. Instead of rehashing choices already made, seek out inspiration for choices yet to be. Find the things and people that spark your creativity. Give yourself the same grace that you would give to others, and do some things that refresh your creative fire.
Leo
Eight of Pentacles, Reversed
You’re not meeting your goals, and when you try to build up your skill according to your plans, your heart just isn’t in it. The inner fire of inspiration feels doused. You just can’t stay focused on the tasks at hand, and instead of giving it your all, you find your mind wandering. You feel uninterested, and the partial effort leads you to feeling inadequate. Try to remind yourself why you’re doing what you do, and reconnect with your initial inspiration so you can love the work again.
Virgo
Eight of Wands, Reversed
You feel like you could go, go, go – if only there weren’t so many delays! Instead of being able to relentlessly move forward, you find your motion redirected. You’re frustrated, because the opportunity to move swiftly feels like it’s right here, right now – and it’s just out of reach! The frustration is leading you to feel lost and purposeless. Refocus on your goal and instead of obsessing over what you can’t get done, evaluate what you could get done to keep things in motion.
Libra
Seven of Pentacles, Reversed
You’re definitely feeling the weight of a sunk cost fallacy situation – you’ve sunk a lot of effort into something, but it’s not being recognized and not paying the dividends that you were hoping for! Before you put more time into it, take a moment before moving forward. You’ve given so much, you can give a bit of time to yourself. Use that time to evaluate what you are getting for all of your work, and if it’s worth it to you. Before expanding your output or taking on more, weigh the options carefully and see if this is really what you want.
Scorpio
Nine of Wands
You gave a lot of yourself to get some things completed and now you’re feeling defensive – and for good reason. People are testing your boundaries and asking a lot more of you than you might be willing to give. It’s distressing after you already gave so much and you’re feeling a bit taken for granted. Look within to determine how much more you can give to the situation. Your inner wisdom and persistence will be key to setting and maintaining boundaries. You need time to process all the lessons learned and you need the space to do that.
Sagittarius
The Sun
Your step feels lighter and you feel playful again. Your natural optimism is winning the battle against your inner critic, and you are feeling downright joyful. Soak in your self-acceptance, and enjoy this moment of success! Spread that joy! Savor the feelings of optimism, hope, and acceptance! Your creativity and success has paid dividends – this is a time for you to feel exuberance and fulfillment!
Capricorn
Nine of Pentacles, Reversed
You’ve made a lot of progress, but you really can’t see it or acknowledge it. While you’ve harvested some of the fruits of your labor, your inner critic won’t allow you to see all you’ve accomplished. Despite all of the gains that you’ve made and the plans you’ve completed, your negative self-talk is blocking you. You feel stuck, even though you’ve done so much. Take a few deep breaths, and take a good look at what is around you. Engage in gratitude so you can acknowledge what your successes have been.
Aquarius
Ace of Swords
Your mind is extremely clear and you’re finally able to see the truth of the situation around you. This new-found clarity also comes with an astute burst of logic – and you’re able to cut through layers of a situation that were holding you back from making the best decision. You’ve been waiting for a huge mental breakthrough for a long time and this is it – you’ve done it! Now that you’ve broken through you’re also having big new thoughts and exciting new ideas!
Pisces
The Empress
You are feeling a huge burst of creativity. This surge of energy is enough not just to sustain you, but to nurture those around you. You’re able to bring creative order from chaotic potential. There is abundance all around you, and you feel equipped and prepared to make the most of all of it. If there are areas of your life that need nurturing and care, today is a great day to engage with them.
