Tarotscope For Today: Thursday, May 9, 2024

Aries

Your Card: The Tower

I have a question for you, Aries. Consider the following hypothetical. Imagine you wake up in an empty room. You have no memory of your past or of who you are and you have no idea what your plans for the future are. You don’t even know your own name. There are no mirrors so you can’t see your face. If someone asked you at this moment, “Who are you?” what would your answer be? Probably, whatever you want to be. The point I’m trying to make is that the past doesn’t exist if you don’t want it to. The mistakes you’ve made or the traumas you may have experienced don’t have to belong to you if you don’t want it to. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. What matters is who you choose to be in this exact moment. You might find that this question strongly applies to the theme of today for you.

Taurus

Your Card: The World

There is change coming towards you, Taurus. With The World card, you might be finding yourself departing from the old ways of being. This will be a gradual transition but soon life will look very different for you. What have you learned along the way? Keep this in mind because this will resonate with the themes that lie ahead for you.

Gemini

Your Card: The Devil

They say that we are who we surround ourselves with. You may find yourself incredibly quick to cast judgment upon those you spend the most time with. Convincing yourself that you’re somehow superior to them or you understand life better or something to that effect. But The Devil tarot card might suggest that you have a lot more in common with these people than you would like to admit, Gemini. Perhaps it’s time you start to turn that judgment inwards and ask yourself in what ways are you no better? This will not only help you feel more empathetic to others and their situations, but also help you better understand yourself and your own flaws that should be improved upon. Perhaps it’s time to surround yourself with people you admire as opposed to people you judge.

Cancer

Your Card: Three of Swords

There has been an ongoing disagreement between you and another person (or several people) that you have swept under the rug without coming to terms with it. Have you been telling yourself that it doesn’t matter to you? That you don’t care about this ongoing conflict? Unfortunately, today, these emotions might be hitting you all at once, Cancer and you may have no choice but to figure out a way to patch things up. You’re not completely in the wrong but you are also not completely in the right.

Leo

Your Card: Queen of Cups

Something that you are actively working on is a deeper sense of empathy, Leo. Today you may find yourself contemplating your past and present relationships with people and how you might have handled things differently if given the chance. Oftentimes, when we have problems with others, the issue itself has less to do with them and more to do with ourselves. This is something you might want to keep in mind moving forward, Leo.

Virgo

Your Card: The Fool

Today is a day of hope, Virgo. Today you are embarking on a new journey of sorts. This journey might be obvious to you, or it may take the form of an emotional rebirth and reentering the world feeling like a new and improved you. Regardless, there is much to be hopeful about. There is a sense of letting your inner child guide your spirit. This will allow you to look out at the world with fresh eyes and a sense of wonder and awe. It’s important to not get used to your surroundings. Consider how far you’ve come to get to this point and regardless of the setbacks you may have faced, be proud of yourself.

Libra

Your Card: The Empress

Take today to nurture yourself if you can, Empress. You may find yourself feeling overworked and underappreciated for your efforts which isn’t fair to you at all. Perhaps you’re giving too much without receiving anything in return and it has left you feeling exhausted and empty. Peel back the energy you exert outwards and save it for yourself. It is incredibly necessary that you understand when it is time to be a little selfish and today is that time. With The Empress card, you are being called to channel your inner feminine energy and bring that out into the world. You may have been feeling off-balanced internally by leaning more into your masculine urges but today you must find a sort’ve equilibrium and harmony within.

Scorpio

Your Card: Nine of Cups

You might find that the confident energy you’ve been projecting lately will attract many people towards you. What’s so special about you Scorpio, is that you generally couldn’t care less what others think of you. As a result, you will become a sort’ve positive topic of conversation. You’ll attract opportunities and deepen existing relationships. Don’t think of all these positive occurrences as mere coincidences. Everything truly does happen for a reason and the reason why you might find great luck today is because your inner world projects onto your outer world. Positive thoughts lead to positive results.

Sagittarius

Your Card: Two of Wands

You might be getting a little ahead of yourself today, Sagittarius. While it’s good to plan for the future, at times it can become a bit obsessive. Not everything in life has to be completely according to the plan you’ve made. Oftentimes, things are just simply out of our control and it is only a waste of energy to stress over such matters. Understand that if it was meant to be, then it’ll be. Trust that things will fall into place as they should. And if it isn’t a hundred percent what you hoped or expected, then find peace in knowing that is because this is just how it was meant to be.

Capricorn

Your Card: King of Pentacles

Remember that, in order for you to be able to help those around you Capricorn, you must first help yourself. You deserve happiness and success just as much as everybody else does and we are all on our own path toward achieving that. The time will come when you will finally be able to pay back all the favors you owe to others. Today, with the King of Pentacles, you might be able to show some appreciation towards someone who deserves it. But don’t feel guilty if the favors you offer are small in comparison to what the other person has done to help you. You will eventually get the chance to say a proper thank you. But again, for now, show appreciation in small ways.

Aquarius

Your Card: Five of Cups

Rest assured knowing that the Five of Cups is a sign that things aren’t nearly as bad as they seem right now. You are the living embodiment of hope, Aquarius, yet at times even you fall victim to the vicious cycle of negative self-talk and despair. Find a way to search within yourself that bright light and trust your inner compass to find the path forward. You may be making the problem appear much bigger in your head. Most things in life aren’t as bad as they seem, and the problems you are dealing with now are no exception. It will get better soon. The “no” you might be hearing today, was an opportunity for an even better “yes.”

Pisces

Your Card: Eight of Cups

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. That is the theme of today for you, Pisces. There is something greater in life that is calling to you today, Pisces. Don’t ignore this call. No matter how overwhelming it may feel. Familiarity is nice but it is also damning. You don’t have to slam the door shut on this old chapter and never look back, but you must be ready to move on to welcome in something new and better. You are being called to grow in other ways right now. It is a necessary part of your journey and it will be a road that you’ll be glad you decided to walk down.
