What Each Zodiac Sign Is Ready For (And Avoiding!) According To Tarot

What are you ready for? What are you avoiding?

Our tarot reader pulled two cards for each zodiac sign to help answer those questions, and to help guide your decision making in the coming weeks.

Aries

Avoiding: Four of Cups. You’re done with feeling bored, Aries. You’re over being over it!  

Ready For: Four of Wands. What you’re ready for instead is celebrating your accomplishments, and looking forward to the future by enjoying your achievements. The world is wide and full of possibilities, and you aren’t about to waste your time being bored when you can toast the results of your hard work, and work towards building a better future!

Taurus

Avoiding: Six of Pentacles. You’ve been really generous with a lot of people, Taurus, but you’re not feeling it anymore, possibly because you may feel that there are some who are taking advantage of that generosity. 

Ready For: The Devil. You’re ready to focus on your own enjoyment and pleasure, instead of worrying so much about providing and helping others. It’s time for you to be your own main character for a bit. As you start this new, empowered era for you, just be sure that you don’t go overboard.

Gemini

Avoiding: Three of Wands. There’s no doubt that you love a good plan, and have been known to enjoy drawing them up a time or two – but you’re over just planning and thinking about things, Gemini

Ready For: King of Wands. You’re ready for action, especially the sort of action that lets you take advantage of your creative energy now. Instead of planning and thinking about what you want to do, you’re ready to just lean into the fires of inspiration and get it done. 

Cancer

Avoiding: King of Cups. You’ve been really attuned to moods lately, Cancer, and the problem is that it’s starting to impact your mental and emotional health. It’s time for you to put up some boundaries, and focus some of that empathy inward. 

Ready For: The Hanged Man. You’re ready to embrace a radical shift in your perspective. You know that it’s bound to challenge in you many ways, especially when it comes to vulnerability and surrendering to the universe. Trust yourself. You’re ready.

Leo

Avoiding: Four of Cups. Falling into boredom is a form of emotional entropy when we are surrounded by such a vibrant, living world. You’re finished feeling bored, Leo

Ready For: Nine of Pentacles. What you’re ready for and are about to embrace is the abundance that your steady work has created. While there were times of stress and hardship, you worked through them to manifest some magic for yourself. You’re ready to experience the independence that material stability can support.

Virgo

Avoiding: Six of Swords. You don’t want to feel like you have to start over, Virgo, you’ve sunk too much time and effort into what you’ve accomplished and aren’t willing to move on quite yet. 

Ready For: Ace of Cups. You’re ready to embrace some new emotions about the situation. Instead of feeling mentally or materially stagnant, lean into new perspectives and new feelings. Follow your emotions to creative outlets, and you may find surprising solutions.

Libra 

Avoiding: Eight of Cups. You aren’t willing to walk away from an emotionally charged situation, even though you feel you might have to, Libra. You’re just not ready for that sort of change yet. 

Ready For: Ace of Wands. Instead of walking away, you’re ready to creatively deal with the issues at hand. How can you use your creative inspiration and opportunities to heal some of the feelings in the Eight of Cups? Can you create a new opportunity that will help bring more emotional fulfillment and security? 

Scorpio

Avoiding: Ace of Cups. You’re not looking to introduce new feelings and complicate an already difficult situationship, Scorpio. You’re emotionally wise enough to know that this isn’t the time.

Ready For: Five of Wands. You know that things are about to come to a head, and with all the competition and infighting any sort of feeling or energy you add into the situation is bound to make it more explosive. You’ve never shied away from a fight, and won’t now.

Sagittarius

Avoiding: Five of Wands. You’re done with the butting heads and the in fighting, Sagittarius. While you love a good competition, you don’t like a toxic one.

Ready For: Ten of Swords. You’re ready for things to be over, and for the negativity to stop. It’s really that simple. Emotionally and mentally, you’re drained, and are ready for a simpler life with more clarity – even if it means paying a difficult price now.

Capricorn

Avoiding: Ten of Cups. It’s not a great time for you to think of family, much less legacy, Capricorn. It can be an overwhelming topic in the best of circumstances, and now isn’t really the best of circumstances. 

Ready For: Five of Swords. It’s not the easiest for you to do, but you need to focus on yourself and your own needs first. You won’t be able to help anyone or think of any sort of long-term strategy if you don’t focus on your short-term needs.

Aquarius

Avoiding: Nine of Swords. You’re over allowing your fears to haunt your every moment, Aquarius.  

Ready For: Queen of Swords. Instead of your fears, you’re looking to have your analytical and logical side rule. You’re ready to embrace your higher self, and understand what the roots and cause of those fears are, instead of just battling the shadows those roots cast. The light of your wisdom, and the depth of your emotional understanding will guide you. 

Pisces

Avoiding: Queen of Swords. You’ve analyzed the situation to death – and may have found yourself in a state of analysis paralysis. There’s no dimension of this you haven’t examined or tried to think around, and you’re just not into it anymore, Pisces

Ready For: Four of Swords. What you need and what you’re ready for, more than anything, is a time of rest and recuperation. Without time to rejuvenate and recover, you won’t be capable of accessing the mental and emotional clarity that you need.
