Tarotscope For Today: Saturday, December 28, 2024

Aries

Your Card: The Devil

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, Aries. This is the first thing that popped into my head when I drew The Devil tarot card for your reading. You might be in the middle of a battle where you feel a sense of competition with someone close to you. What are you trying to prove here, though? Because whatever competition you think you’re competing in probably isn’t real at all. If you’re engaging in some sort of quarrel just so you can feel like the winner, you might find that in the end, you’re the winner of absolutely nothing. Playing games is a waste of your time and in the end, it’s only a means of feeding your ego. It’s not benefiting you at all. 

Taurus

Your Card: Five of Swords

You’re someone who cares deeply about your community and the people closest to you, Taurus. You’re the kind of person who will go out of their way to help others even if it means costing yourself your own sanity or well-being to do so. However, the Five of Swords is a stark reminder that you can’t save everyone. Especially if it comes at the cost of your peace, sometimes, no matter what you do to try and lift others, if they don’t do the work themselves, then all your efforts will be in vain. Don’t become their crutch otherwise, they’ll never learn to stand up on their own. You’re not responsible for other people’s happiness. 

Gemini

Your Card: Ten of Cups

You might be denying reality, Gemini. You may be so focused on everything being perfect that you’re ignoring the red flags of a certain situation. You deserve happiness as much as everybody else does but living in denial does not equate happiness. Perhaps it’s time to take off the rose-tinted glasses and see things for what they really are. It’s important to remain grounded and have a clear sense of the world around you. 

Cancer

Your Card: The Hermit

Be careful because you may be projecting certain aspects of yourself onto others more than you realize, Cancer. No one wants to admit that they’re projecting but all of us do it without realizing it. The judgments that you are casting onto others may say more about you than it does about them. So today when you are dissecting the aspects of others that you dislike, ask yourself where this is truly coming from because it may just be a reflection of how you truly feel about yourself. 

Leo

Your Card: Nine of Swords

The Nine of Swords suggests that you may be spending way too much time contemplating what everybody else is doing or thinking. If you’re constantly wallowing in your disdain for others, it is only going to hurt you more in the long run. Hate has zero effect on the other person and only effects you, Leo. Constantly wasting your energy and sanity on others will drag you down. I know it’s easier said than done but you must find a way to stop these thoughts or else they’ll continue to consume you. It doesn’t matter what everybody else is doing or saying. Let it go and worry about yourself. 

Virgo

Your Card: Two of Pentacles

Today is about breaking the rules a little bit, Virgo. This isn’t an invitation to commit a felony. I’m saying that sometimes, there exist rules that serve no higher purpose other than to unnecessarily deter people and keep them at the bottom. We’re constantly being told that the way things are currently are how they must remain regardless of how outdated these systems are. If something doesn’t make sense, question it. Don’t let nonsensical explanations for illogical limitations stop you. This could be about rules that society has arbitrarily set. Like double texting or keeping your feelings hidden because you need to “maintain appearances”. If your boss or co-worker is perpetuating an ineffective system, then question that and find ways to improve efficiency. That is what I mean by breaking the rules. If something doesn’t feel right, question it. And if your gut is telling you to break away from set expectations, then trust that. 

Libra

Your Card: Four of Pentacles

Your hyper-focus on perfection might be limiting you today, Libra. While it is important to set high standards for yourself, make sure those standards aren’t unrealistic. Requiring nothing but perfection from yourself could hold you back and lead to procrastination or being hyper-critical with yourself. Don’t be afraid to fuck up today. 

Scorpio

Your Card: Nine of Wands

Don’t be so defensive and assume ill intent all the time, Scorpio. You might be a bit more irritable today than usual and as a result, any slight remark that suggests any level of disdain to you could be taken completely out of context. Try to find the humor in such remarks and laugh things off. Overreacting to little things or innocuous comments such as these may be the result of something happening unconsciously that you are unaware of. Remind yourself that other people aren’t the problem today, try not to take it out on them. 

Sagittarius

Your Card: Three of Swords

There are times when we kid ourselves into thinking that we are “setting boundaries” when in reality we are acting out of selfishness, Sagittarius. You might have acted cruelly towards someone thinking that you had a right to do so but were acting out on a need to punish them for something they may or may have not done. Are you trying to set boundaries or are you trying to inflict a pain that you have inflicted upon yourself in the past? Two wrongs don’t make a right. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Eight of Swords

You don’t have to make a decision right now, Capricorn. You may currently be feeling incredibly unsure about a certain situation but there is no deadline or due date in regards to what you decide to do. If you don’t know what to do right now, then don’t feel pressured to come up with an answer before you’re ready. Take all the time that you need. This might be about a situation you’re in with someone in your life. Or it could be about deciding which direction you should head towards in your life or career. Whatever the context may be, if you don’t know then take the time to settle your heart and allow yourself the space to make a decisive decision. Don’t let anyone or anything make you feel pressured to say yes right now. They can wait. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Strength

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you Aquarius. Lately, tensions may be high, and I’m not saying that you’re in the wrong. You might be up against something much bigger than you. Some sort of system that isn’t fair and requires updating. However, you must be smart in how you go about standing up to these forces. If this is regarding where you work, you must be smart in how you go about airing your grievances because if you’re too bold or aggressive then it could start more problems than it will fix. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t end up shooting yourself in the foot or else you’ll regret not keeping your mouth shut and going with the flow. Enact a silent revolution. 

Pisces

Your Card: Knight of Cups

Don’t close yourself off to good people just because others have hurt you in the past. You are very in tune with your intuition and a borderline psychic at times, Pisces. However, even you have your moments. It might be difficult for you to trust what your intuition is trying to tell you about a particular person at the moment. This could be because in the past you’ve been hurt and now you’re having a harder time trusting your gut. You’re unsure of whether or not it’s your intuition trying to speak to you or if you’re projecting the wrongful actions of others onto this other person. The best way to decipher the difference between anxiety and intuition is the level of stillness you feel. If your heart rate is up and your thoughts are racing, there’s a good chance it’s your anxiety. But if there is a stillness and a sense of knowing without the symptoms of anxiety or paranoia, then it’s probably your intuition talking.
