ARIES

Your Card: Four of Swords

When was the last time you slowed down and took a break, Aries? You’ve been going and going and going—working hard and playing hard. The Four of Swords signals that it’s time to take a break and check in with yourself. Avoid burnout and carve out some time this week to rest and recharge. Have a whole day where there’s nothing on your agenda but self-care. Break away from the outside world so that you may return rejuvenated and clearer minded. 

TAURUS

Your Card: Five of Wands

The Five of Wands indicates conflict. You might experience tension with someone today, whether it’s at work, home, or otherwise. It’s up to you to respond and not react. Remember that most problems can be solved by clearing up miscommunication. Express yourself, but hear out the other person. Compromise if you have to. Partake in some healthy debate to push ideas forward. Walk away if you’re being disrespected. This card can also signal that there’s negative energy around you. What person or situation in your life constantly brings you disharmony? Keep your distance. 

GEMINI

Your Card: Knight of Wands

The fiery, adventurous Knight of Wands is a beautiful card to pull during Leo season. He encourages you to be bold, confident, and spontaneous. This is a sign to challenge yourself, experiment, be courageous, and have some fun—not that you have any trouble with all of the above. Let your curiosity lead the way. Go on an adventure. Book a trip. Give yourself a makeover. Take a class. Learn something new. Ask out your crush. Make the change you’ve been wanting to make. 

CANCER

Your Card: The Magician, reversed

The only person holding yourself back is you, Cancer. It’s time to get out of your own way. Stop overthinking it, and start taking some bold action. No more excuses! You shouldn’t fear mistakes or rejection, but you should fear losing out on a good thing because you were too afraid to put yourself out there. The things you desire are worth trying for. Get rid of self-doubt and worst-case scenarios. The reversal of The Magician is saying that there’s no time like the present to go after what—or who—you want.

LEO

Your Card: The Hermit

It’s important that you take some time alone for yourself today—or as soon as possible. The Hermit shows up when you need to disconnect from the external world and reconnect with yourself. Right now, with whatever is going on in your life, you need a period of solitude to turn inward. Let go of distractions and outside influences. Become reacquainted with your intuition and let it guide you. There are emotions you need to process and decisions that you have to make. Give yourself the space to unlock all the answers and do any healing you need to make. 

VIRGO

Your Card: Judgment, reversed

The reversal of Judgement is a stark reminder to start taking control of your own life. This isn’t usually something you struggle with, so the issue here may be one of two things: there is a harsh truth you’ve been avoiding, or something is currently stopping you from stepping into something far greater. If there’s a reality you’ve been refusing to accept, it’s time that you listen to your gut about this particular person or situation. If you’ve been holding yourself back from pursuing something, this card is telling you to rid yourself of self-doubt and rise up to the challenge.

LIBRA

Your Card: Two of Wands, reversed

Oh babe, you’ve been holding yourself back from greatness. There’s something going on in your internal world that’s keeping you stagnant—something that holds you back from seeking more. It could be indecisiveness, self-doubt, comfort in familiarity, or just thinking that you don’t believe you deserve any better. Whatever it is, don’t allow yourself to become stuck. There’s so much more out there waiting to be grasped by you—more wonderful experiences, more success, more happiness, more abundance. Take more risks. Think bigger and better. Start today, even if it’s small. Clearly define your goals and desires. Brainstorm a way to manifest them. 

SCORPIO

Your Card: Ace of Cups, reversed

The reversal of the Ace of Cups emphasizes a need to focus on your well-being. This card signals that there’s some sort of emotional instability or block that’s beginning to take its toll on you. Whatever you’re feeling, you can’t shake it, and it’s way past time that you start overcoming it. Let today be the day that you start focusing on your healing. Take some time alone. Partake in self-care and reflection. Process any emotions you’ve tried so hard to suppress. Do it again tomorrow. Do it until you’ve overcome whatever wounds, loss, or block is keeping you from living a fulfilled, meaningful life. 

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: The Empress, reversed

When the reversal of The Empress appears, it signals a need to examine what parts of your life or within yourself you’ve been neglecting. Where could you be pouring more of your love and attention? Is there a situation or person in your life who drains you and makes you feel depleted? Do you overextend yourself to others to your own detriment? What more could you be doing to fill your own cup? Have you been feeling creatively blocked lately? Take some time today to identify the barriers you need to overcome and the energies you need to leave behind. 

CAPRICORN 

Your Card: Nine of Pentacles, reversed

Although it’s not in your nature to be impulsive, you might find yourself tempted to make some rash decisions today—don’t. Before reacting to a situation, take a breath, and wait to respond smartly and strategically. Don’t make any big purchases or commitments today. Sit on it and think it through. If it still seems like a good idea in a few days, then do as your heart desires. Before acting today, ask yourself if what you’re doing is just an act of distraction or a way to fill the void. 

AQUARIUS

Your Card: Two of Pentacles

The Two of Pentacles wants you to incorporate more balance into your life. You’re juggling so much right now that there are certain aspects of your life you’ve been neglecting. Use today to check in with yourself and think of ways of nurturing more equilibrium in your life. You also need to start prioritizing self-care more. You can’t keep going, going, going without taking the space to rest and recharge. Make more time for the things that bring you joy in your life, too.

PISCES

Your Card: Ten of Swords, reversed

The reversal of the Ten of Swords represents renewal, new beginnings, healing, improvement, and survival. Whatever difficulties you’ve been facing in your life are soon to be behind you, Pisces. If it doesn’t feel that way, then it’s time you kick yourself into gear and start doing everything in your power to pick up the pieces. Everything you need to heal, make progress, or move forward is found within you. You can leave this dark period behind, you just have to want it bad enough.
