Tarotscope For Today: Wednesday, July 17, 2024
ARIES
Your Card: King of Pentacles
Driven by your ambitions, you’re determined to work hard to achieve everything you want. There isn’t a challenge or obstacle you’ve ever let stop you. You should be proud of your accomplishments thus far. The King of Pentacles asks you to do two things: aim higher and focus on areas in your life you might have put on the backburner in favor of your goals. Spend some time today thinking in terms of the bigger picture. What does long-term success look like to you? What’s your game plan to create the future you envision? You should also reflect on how you can start taking better care of your health, mental-wellbeing, love life, and home. What changes do you need to make? How can you incorporate more balance into your life? Remember that life isn’t just about the hustle.
TAURUS
Your Card: Justice
The Justice card is all about truth, accountability, and integrity. There are revelations that are close to coming to light. This could mean that soon you will discover how someone may have deceived you, or someone else will be figuring out how you’ve wronged them. Honesty is the aim here. If you need answers, be direct and ask for them. Trust your instincts if they’re telling you that you’re not getting the full truth. If you need to own up to certain mistakes on your part, do it as soon as possible. The truth is better coming from you than having someone you care about find out another way. Play into your values and be accountable, Taurus.
GEMINI
Your Card: King of Cups
Let patience and compassion color your day, Gemini. The King of Cups denotes two different possibilities: someone close to you might be in need of your emotional support, or a situation is going to arise that requires you to hold your head up high. Check on your loved ones in case it’s the former, and remain an understanding and supportive shoulder to lean on. Otherwise, be prepared to maintain your cool and not react impulsively. You’ll be encountering something that’s going to require you to take a moment to assess before reacting. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you—strategize and remain in control of how you respond to the circumstances.
CANCER
Your Card: The Tower, reversed
Instead of delaying the inevitable, isn’t it better to take the upper hand by embracing it? Don’t frame this current shift that you’re facing as something being forced upon you. Instead, look at it as a blessing that’s going to create room for more beautiful things in your life. Stop being afraid of change. The thing you fear losing is just an illusion—a false sense of security in the familiar. Let go of what isn’t meant for you—the fantasy, the relationship, the job, the friend, the goal, the city, the situation. If you have to work so hard to preserve something and to hang on to it, then it isn’t right for you. Be open to what is, Cancer.
LEO
Your Card: Ten of Swords
Something has you feeling deflated and defeated today, Leo. The Ten of Swords indicates a need for acceptance. Whether it’s a failure, betrayal, loss or disappointment, you need to surrender to the situation with grace. Things might be difficult for a little while, but the faster you let go, the faster you move towards healing. There are better things and new beginnings waiting for you on the other side, so don’t allow yourself to lose hope. For now, try your best to soothe any heartache or anxiety you may be feeling. Stay gentle with yourself. Reach out to your support system. Allow yourself to indulge in self-care.
VIRGO
Your Card: Three of Swords, reversed
There’s a loss, betrayal, or disappointment that you have yet to fully recover from. The reversal of the Three of Swords urges you to finish releasing this past heartache and try your best to look forward to what awaits you. Stop dwelling on those emotions, and do everything in your power to let go. How can you be putting more of an effort into leaving it behind you? In what ways can you start attracting new experiences and opportunities into your life? What haven’t you tried yet? Spend some time reflecting on this today, and then create plans to give you something to be excited about—dinner plans, a future trip, a reward for yourself once you’ve reached a goal. Just keep looking ahead.
LIBRA
Your Card: Two of Pentacles
The Two of Pentacles asks you to cultivate more of the number one thing you value most in your life—balance. You’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately with all of life’s demands and your responsibilities. There are areas in your life that you’ve been neglecting in favor of others. You have to find some sort of order and equilibrium, Libra. Learn to check in more with yourself. Make an effort to manage the various aspects of your life more effectively. Your goals and work aren’t more important than your relationships, well-being, and happiness. Make more time for what brings you joy, what makes you feel recharged, and who makes you feel loved and supported.
SCORPIO
Your Card: Queen of Swords
You’re going to have to be self-assured and stand up for yourself today—not that you have any trouble ever doing so. A situation is going to arise that’s going to require you to cut through any uncertainty and be direct. Find the answers you seek. Don’t hold back any questions. Trust your gut on what it’s saying about the situation. Shatter the illusion. Make your judgment without relying on your emotions, and look at the facts, Scorpio. Communicate your feelings and boundaries clearly. Don’t hesitate to demand what you deserve. It’s never too much. If a situation or person will only give you anything less than, then walk away.
SAGITTARIUS
Your Card: The Hermit, reversed
Whatever it is that has had you feeling extremely unlike yourself and in a state of hiding, let it go, Sag. Enough is enough. It’s time to get back out there and face the world. You’ve been indulging in solitude for far too long. Go back to doing what you love most—living life. The reason you feel so disconnected from yourself is because you’ve been denying yourself of what you thrive on most—new experiences. So, pick up the phone and make some plans with your bestie. Hit up happy hour. Look forward to going out over the weekend. Ask out your crush. Book a flight for your next trip. Just get off the couch and stop moping around.
CAPRICORN
Your Card: The Devil, reversed
Take the reversal of The Devil as permission from the Universe to let loose, break free, and live life a little wild—even if it’s just for today. When was the last time you let yourself indulge in anything? You work hard too hard not to enjoy life’s pleasures, Capricorn. Yes, you’re disciplined and structured, but it’s okay to toss all that out the window every once in a while. Set yourself free from such rigidity! Kick back and have fun. Whether this means a fun night out, an extravagant purchase, a new look, or a spontaneous plan, just do it. Don’t overthink it.
AQUARIUS
Your Card: Seven of Cups, reversed
It’s time to start making moves, Aquarius. The reversal of the Seven of Cups is your wake-up call to stop sleepwalking through your own life. Whatever it is that has had you stagnant and stuck in this place, deal with it and finally leave it in the past. It’s time to get grounded in reality and start making better decisions for yourself. So, take some today to shake it off and make a plan for yourself. What are your next moves? How can you move forward in a decisive manner? What distractions do you need to cut out? The important thing today is setting some clear intentions.
PISCES
Your Card: Nine of Pentacles, reversed
Don’t, under any circumstances, react impulsively today. This is especially true for financial matters. Have you checked your bank account lately? Do you really need to buy that item or are you just trying to fill an emotional void? Material things can’t buy happiness, Pisces. Get to the root of the emotions you’re carrying. Work through them. They’ll still be there after that quick dopamine hit that comes with clicking “checkout.” The best way to achieve a sense of fulfillment and abundance is to process your feelings in a healthy manner. Until you do, there’s always going to be a hole in you that you’re trying to fill.
