ARIES

Your Card: Death

Uncertainty and change are terrifying, but you cannot let that fear control you. Either you choose to embrace the unknown and move closer to a life meant for you, or you resist these necessary shifts and hinder your growth. It’s never easy to let go of a friendship, end a relationship, quit your job, break old patterns, or pursue an entirely different dream, but when you’ve outgrown something or it no longer fulfills you, it’s time to seek new horizons. What may feel like a loss now will look like a blessing in hindsight. 

TAURUS

Your Card: Page of Pentacles

What fuels your passion, Taurus? Whether it’s your profession, a craft, a goal, a talent, or a hobby, the Page of Pentacles wants you to hone in on it. This is a card of learning, focus, ambition, and dedication. It reminds us about the importance of refining our skills and maximizing our potential. Get better at doing what you love, both in practicality and in mindset. Seek out a workshop, a class, or a mentor. Learn that you’re better off viewing your mistakes and obstacles as lessons than as forces actively working against you. 

GEMINI

Your Card: King of Pentacles, reversed

The reversal of the King of Pentacles asks you to reflect on the ways in which you define stability, happiness, and success. If it seems like you have everything, but you’re still struggling to feel grounded, then maybe you’ve been placing too much value on things that don’t matter as much as you think, like money and material possessions. You can’t have a strong foundation without also nurturing your most meaningful relationships, inner peace, passions, and what emotionally fulfills you. Don’t lose sight of what matters most as you chase your earthly desires. 

CANCER

Your Card: Five of Wands, reversed

Whatever you’ve been running away from, today is the day to finally face it head-on. If you don’t stop avoiding it, then it’s going to spiral into something bigger and possibly, uglier. Have any conversations you’ve been avoiding. Clear up any misunderstandings you’ve had with anyone close to you. If you’ve been bottling up your true feelings, it’s time to let them all out. Whatever truths you’ve been refusing to accept can no longer go unacknowledged. Finally make that decision you haven’t yet made out of fear or uncertainty. 

LEO

Your Card: Ten of Wands

Don’t hesitate to say no to friends, family, or anyone at work today. You’ve been overextending yourself lately. There’s too much on your plate already to take on anything else, especially if it’s not your problem. This card wants you to do less and to strike a balance when it comes to managing life’s demands and taking care of yourself. Allow yourself to take a little break. While you’re resting and recharging, brainstorm how to implement better self-care practices into your routine. 

VIRGO

Your Card: Ten of Pentacles, reversed

Is the path you’re currently on one you’ve taken out of true desire? It may look good on paper, but is it what you truly want? Or is this something that was chosen for you? Don’t confine yourself out of fear of what others may think or feel. You can’t live your life based on the expectations of others. Making yourself happy sometimes comes at the cost of disappointing those closest to you. No one else should get a say in the decisions you make but you, Virgo. Don’t waste this precious life being who others want you to be. 

LIBRA

Your Card: The Star

Don’t lose hope yet, Libra. Whatever is worrying that little pretty mind of yours, have faith that it will work out. Things may feel dark and uncertain right now, but trust that the Universe is on your side. The Star is a reminder that the hard times you face are all part of a grander scheme. All you have to do is remain hopeful and optimistic and recognize the opportunities that come your way. Keep moving with your face looking forward, and eventually you’ll see the light to guide you. 

SCORPIO

Your Card: Strength, reversed

Be gentle to yourself today. Don’t let whatever is eating away at you have this much control over you. It’s perfectly normal to have fears, doubts, and insecurities, but you mustn’t allow these things to derail you. Perhaps what you need is a mental health day to sort through all your thoughts and start thinking clearly again. Take a break this week. Partake in self-care, resting, and reflection. Do whatever you need to do to start feeling like the powerful person that you are again. You shouldn’t be this afraid when you’re the very thing to be feared, Scorpio.   

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: Wheel of Fortune, reversed

You know that thing they say about tripping over the same rock again and again? Well, what are you willing to do differently this time, Sag? The Wheel of Fortune shows up in reverse when there are necessary shifts to embrace. You’ve been here before and you’ll come back to this place again and again until you break free from old patterns and outdated beliefs. Whatever it is that you’ve been doing, it hasn’t worked out for you so far. It’s time to seek out a new approach and adopt a different perspective. What’s familiar may feel safe and comfortable, but it’s hindering your growth and progress.

CAPRICORN 

Your Card: Four of Pentacles

You’re a creature of habit, Capricorn. Ritual, routine, practicality, and tradition are extremely important to you. You like sticking to your tried-and-true formula, but have you ever thought that maybe this keeps you confined? The Four of Pentacles wants you to let go of control. Be bolder. Take more risks. Try a new approach. Gain a new perspective. Clinging on to what’s familiar is getting in the way of you reaching your full potential. The greatest things sometimes come from letting go a little. 

AQUARIUS

Your Card: Page of Swords, reversed

As much as you may be feeling propelled to act today, don’t. The reversal of the Page of Swords warns of impulsivity, a lack of focus, a lack of direction, and miscommunication. It wants you to sit with your thoughts before moving forward. Whatever conversations you were thinking about having today, wait for a different day. Sort out your feelings first. Speak with deliberation. That idea you’re ruminating on, give it a little time to grow and think about how you’re going to commit to it before acting on it. 

PISCES

Your Card: Two of Pentacles

You need to check in on your priorities, Pisces. There’s something slipping through the cracks right now because you overfilled your plate. Take note of where you need to place your focus in the current moment, and save the rest for later. Rework your long to-do list into a few different to-do lists. You don’t have to tackle everything now, nor will you do a good job if you try. There are some things that can wait. Take it day by day, and you’ll be okay.
