Tarotscope For Today: Tuesday, May 21, 2024
ARIES
Your Card: Seven of Cups, reversed
The reversal of the Seven of Cups is a wake-up call. It’s here to shake you up and ground you in reality. Lately, you’ve been feeling lost and confused. It’s brought you to a point of indecision and inaction. It’s time to make some choices, Aries. First, you’re going to have to get rid of all the distractions, so that you can more easily gain the clarity you need. Use today to make a start. Go cold turkey. Cut out everything you’ve been doing to avoid the realities of life. It’s time that you start taking a more proactive role in your story. Let this day be the first day that you start moving forward in a decisive manner. Dig deep if you feel like you’ve lost your sense of purpose.
TAURUS
Your Card: Four of Cups
Recently, you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, your life, your purpose. You’ve been struggling with discouragement, unmotivation, and a lack of inspiration. The Four of Cups is an encouragement for serious introspection. It’s also a reminder that you won’t always feel this stuck. Take some time today to reassess whether the path you’re currently on is still the one that will bring you fulfillment. Could the problem be that you’re solely focusing on the negatives? Are you allowing yourself to be dissuaded by obstacles and challenges? Do you need to move on and change course to something more meaningful? The solution is there, you just need to regain clarity, and perhaps try a new approach.
GEMINI
Your Card: Five of Wands, reversed
You’re likely to experience high tension with someone close to you today—it could be at work or in your personal life. Be careful not to allow your emotions and temper to get the best of you, and mind your tongue—you don’t want to make matters worse. It’s going to be hard as a Gemini to hold back, but count to ten or remove yourself from the situation before reading anyone for filth today. Take some time to cool off—days if you have to—then reapproach things with an open mind. Communicate your perspective and feelings clearly, but be willing to hear out the other person (as irritating as they may be).
CANCER
Your Card: Two of Swords, reversed
This Tuesday may bring you extreme anxiety, Cancer. It’s important that you remember to be gentle with yourself as you try to get through your day. There are a lot of decisions that you have to make right now, and you’re so afraid of making the wrong one that you’ve driven yourself to a place of inaction. Sometimes there’s no telling what the right move is until we make it, and if it ends up not working out—well, you’ve always picked yourself right back up, haven’t you? Avoiding any kind of action is only going to bring you more stress down the line. You can’t overthink yourself into the right decision, either. Just make a move. Whether it’s good or less-than-desirable, you can deal with the consequences that will come. If you keep delaying, you’re going to get even more stuck and lose valuable time.
LEO
Your Card: Eight of Wands, reversed
For a while now, there’s something in your life that just hasn’t felt right. It has made it feel as if all the other pieces in your life haven’t been coming together the way they should. The root of the issue is unfinished business, and it’s going to rear its head today. This may be something you’ve avoided or suppressed, and you never truly processed the way you should have. The Eight of Wands is urging you to finally seek closure from the matter so you can heal and move forward. This situation is the whole reason why you’ve been feeling stagnant. Until you finally confront it, you’ll be living your life suspended in mid-air. So, if it presents itself today, deal with it. Deal with it even if it doesn’t.
VIRGO
Your Card: Temperance, reversed
There’s something causing a serious imbalance in your life right now, and it’s bringing you immense stress and anxiety. It’s causing a sense of instability, and today that feeling is likely to be exasperated. You’re feeling overwhelmed, Virgo. Take some alone time today to reflect on what areas in your life require more balance and harmony. Are you overdoing it somewhere—work, partying, or spending? Is there anywhere you could cut back or delegate? Do you need help with something, but you’re refusing to ask for it? Are you ignoring your personal life in favor of your professional life, or vice versa? Get to the root of the problem and make the proper readjustments.
LIBRA
Your Card: Nine of Cups
Aim high today, Libra. The Nine of Cups is a sign that it’s time to take a bold (and perhaps spontaneous) approach towards a dream or desire. Don’t overthink it too much. At the very least, name your wants today and set your intentions. Visualize that it’s already yours. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Picture it as if it’s already real. Don’t stop there, though. Go after the thing! This card is also a promise from the Universe that your wishes will come true, you just have to be willing to put in what takes. So, stop overthinking it and start making some moves.
SCORPIO
Your Card: Ten of Pentacles
It’s highly likely that you will be presented with a wonderful opportunity today that can help lay the foundation of your vision of “happily ever after.” So, stay alert and be ready to embrace what the Universe is sending your way. Remember that this opportunity didn’t appear out of thin air—it’s coming your way because you deserve it. You’ve put in the hard work, Scorpio, and now your efforts are materializing into something. If the day goes by without this blessing emerging, the Ten of Pentacles promises that whatever intentions you set and goals that you work towards on this day will come to fruition. All you have to do is be patient and continue doing what it takes.
SAGITTARIUS
Your Card: Ace of Swords, reversed
You feel confused today, Sag. You’re finding it difficult to concentrate. Things feel foggy right now. Because you’re lacking clarity, it’s imperative that you don’t make any important decisions today or take any kind of big action. Hold off on making any changes. Be patient and wait until you can see things more clearly and until you have gained a deeper understanding of the situation. Be careful about any outside influences skewing your perspective. It’s a good day to take some time alone and clear your head. If everything still feels so uncertain tomorrow, don’t hesitate to ask a trusted one for advice or help.
CAPRICORN
Your Card: Page of Swords, reversed
You have brilliant and great ideas, but your execution is lacking. The reversal of the Page of Swords is an encouragement to commit yourself to put in the work to create something meaningful. What is it that’s stopping you? What are you so afraid of? You need to stop listening to that voice in your head that tells you that you’re not good enough or that you’ll fail. It’s also important to cure yourself of imposter syndrome. You’ll be okay as long as you properly think things through and make a plan and stick to it. You just have to get yourself prepared and organized, and that’s not anything you’ve ever had an issue with. So, stop thinking about the worst that could happen, and start doing. Today is a great day to begin.
AQUARIUS
Your Card: Six of Cups, reversed
Today is going to feel like a walk down memory lane. It’s going to be hard to shake off the nostalgia. Be gentle to yourself as memories of the past come sweeping through. Remember that with the passing of time, the past is a thing viewed through rose-colored glasses. There’s a reason certain things didn’t work out or certain people aren’t in your life anymore. It’s okay to think of them and even miss them from time to time, but you can’t let that invalidate the reality of your experience. So, don’t regret moving or quitting that job. Don’t long for what didn’t work out. And definitely don’t go texting any exes today. Just sit with the thoughts and the feelings until they pass—and they shall pass.
PISCES
Your Card: Three of Swords, reversed
The reversal of the Three of Swords is a reminder that you will heal from whatever loss you’re still carrying with you. Pulling this card is also a sign that you’ve already gotten through the worst of it. So, start looking ahead, Pisces. Spend some time today thinking about all the reasons why you should hold on tight to hope and of all the possibilities the future holds. Make some plans to give you something to look forward to—plan a trip with your friends, buy tickets for a concert, simply make plans for brunch on the weekend. The important thing is to keep looking ahead.
