Tarotscope For Today: Saturday, August 17, 2024

Aries

Your Card: Queen of Cups

Today is a day of self-expression, Aries. Expressing how you truly feel about someone, your life, or about yourself in general is not a sign of weakness. There is strength in honesty. Oftentimes you operate under this false assumption that admitting your weaknesses will cause others to lose their respect for you. Quite the contrary. When you can admit that you are also human and not always feel the need to hide your flaws, many will not only respect you more for it, but they’ll relate to you and your struggles as well.

Taurus

Your Card: Queen of Pentacles

Resist temptation as much as you can today, Taurus. Lately, you may have been finding yourself getting a bit more distracted than usual. While there is nothing wrong with taking a break and indulging in a bit of your favorite vices, there comes a point where these vices just become a major distraction. Don’t allow yourself to lean too heavily on things that are supposed to be a treat for your hard work, not a crutch.

Gemini

Your Card: Death

Today you may find yourself challenging certain belief systems you’ve held for too long. These beliefs are no longer servicing you and are only holding you back from becoming the person you want to be. However, you might feel as if letting go of these aspects of yourself is impossible. As if to say that you are and there is nothing that you can do to change certain aspects of yourself. This is untrue and serves as an example of the very limiting beliefs that I am precisely talking about. What makes you think you can’t transform? It’s not that you can’t transform, it’s more so that you won’t. Who says you can’t be the person you want to be? As far as I’m concerned, you’re the only one stopping yourself.

Cancer

Your Card: The Sun

Today you are showing up as the best version of yourself, Cancer. It’s not every day we all wake up in as good of a mood but take advantage of this. Don’t allow your insecurities to hold you back, be who you truly are today. Love the person you are, don’t feel ashamed of them. Who cares what anybody else has to say? Funny enough, the less you care what others think, the more they feel gravitated towards you. You may find yourself feeling like the center of the universe today. You act as the center of your social world where others are stuck in your gravitational pull like the planets of our solar system revolve around the sun.

Leo

Your Card: Seven of Pentacles

Right now you may be feeling as if nothing is going according to plan. Whatever it is you have set out to accomplish, it might seem like none of these ideas or ventures are amounting to what you hoped for. You may have experienced a bit of beginner’s luck making you think the road ahead was a lot less challenging than what you are experiencing right now. However, with the Seven of Pentacles present, it is a reminder to not give up. Don’t expect overnight success or instant results otherwise, you will convince yourself that what you want to accomplish is impossible. It isn’t impossible, Leo. You just have to believe in yourself, stay consistent, and have a bit of patience with not only yourself but with life.

Virgo

Your Card: Ace of Swords

There is a question that has been on your mind for quite some time, Virgo. A question that you have yet to find the answer to. With the Ace of Swords present in your reading, perhaps today might be the day you find the answer. But it won’t be super obvious. The truth has a funny way of manifesting itself in front of us. It may come in the form of a song where the lyrics indirectly speak to our questions. It may come from a conversation we have with a friend where they unintentionally tell you exactly what you need to hear. And sometimes we already know the answer to our own questions, we just don’t want to acknowledge it.

Libra

Your Card: Page of Cups

Sometimes we envy others without actually realizing it. Thus causing us to act out in ways that are motivated by those feelings of jealousy and inferiority. You’re not perfect Libra. The Page of Cups is a reminder that sometimes we misunderstand the source of our motivations. Just be cautious of what drives you to take certain actions. You’re only human so no need to beat yourself up, but rather analyze your feelings and take some time to think them through.

Scorpio

Your Card: Nine of Cups

The Nine of Cups could indicate a positive development in a specific relationship. This connection may be platonic, romantic, or business-related. Regardless, there is a lot to come from this partnership. Though you’ve been handling things and life well on your own, whoever this person is seems to compliment you quite well where you both have something unique to bring to the table that only makes you stronger as a unit rather than individuals.

Sagittarius

Your Card: Seven of Cups

Be wary of falling into old patterns and toxic cycles today, Sagittarius. You seem to know exactly the areas in which you need to improve and have been working diligently to improve those areas. However, sometimes we slip back into old habits without even realizing it until it’s too late and we find ourselves in the same situation we were trying to avoid with the exact same outcome we didn’t want.

Capricorn

Your Card: Nine of Swords

Someone may have said something in the past that you are still holding onto today, Capricorn. Hyperfocusing on this will only send you into a spiral of your own doing. You believe there is nothing you can do to control your emotional reaction but this isn’t true. You are allowing what has been said to get to you. The truth is, things only matter as much as you let it matter. So ask yourself how much you want to let this matter. Allow yourself to ride these emotions out and fully pass so that you can finally let them go. Find some sort of outlet that is productive. It appears that this thing that you are obsessing over has come up before and just when you thought you’ve finally moved past it, a fresh wave of hurt and insecurity seems to hit you again. Don’t think you won’t ever get over this, you will. Just be patient and stop being so hard on yourself.

Aquarius

Your Card: Five of Cups

I know it feels like everything is your fault. Rest assured however that it’s not though, Aquarius. The Five of Cups suggests that you are focusing on all the wrong things and ignoring what is right. You are blaming yourself and your actions but the truth is, you have nothing to do with the problem at hand. Sometimes shit just hits the fan, and that’s life. But it will get better and sooner rather than later you will see that you are not at fault here.

Pisces

Your Card: Five of Wands

There is a lot that you have to say right now but fear that if you say it, you’ll cause more problems than solve. You don’t want to come off as argumentative or combative by saying your peace. However, this will only cause you to repress how you truly feel and hold it all in therefore brewing resentment. You are not the problem when you express your grievances with someone. You’re not being over dramatic or too sensitive. If you continue to hold this in, it will however come out at the wrong time and turn a small problem into a much bigger problem so be careful.
