What The Universe Is Trying To Tell You Right Now, Based On Your Zodiac + Tarot
Aries
Your Cards: Nine of Cups, Page of Swords, Five of Pentacles
Aries, you’re one of the most self-sufficient signs on the chart and you pride yourself on this. You’re very good at solving problems on your own but right now, you need to ask for help, guidance, and support. Whether emotionally or even financially. It’s as if life has become too much and you’ve rationalized that the best approach is to hibernate and figure it out on your own but I think that’s only making matters worse.
Those moments where someone you haven’t heard from in a while crosses your mind and then out of nowhere they reach out is a sign from the universe to let them in. If friends or family are reaching out, don’t ghost them only to re-emerge months later. Sometimes we get to a point where we’re so exhausted with life that we don’t even feel like we have the time or energy for anything else, including the people we love most. But honestly, it’s this aspect of our life that energizes us and gives us the strength to keep going. And being surrounded by the people you care about could help give you insight into the issues you’re facing right now.
Taurus
Your Cards: King of Pentacles, Temperance, Five of Pentacles
You’ve lost sight of who you are, Taurus. You’re faking it trying to make it so bad that there’s nothing about you that’s authentic anymore. It’s time to get to know yourself again. I think the people you surround yourself with may be a bad influence. Yet you fear isolation so much that you’d rather tolerate shitty behavior than choose self-respect. What the universe is trying to tell you is that there’s a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Take this time to find inner peace within yourself. Find balance within yourself and your needs right now. I believe that the feeling of loneliness is not entirely a result of having no one around you, but rather a reflection of the lack of satisfaction we find within just ourselves.
We become the people we surround ourselves with, and perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate those that you choose to spend time with. I think part of the issue here is you have such an empathic spirit that you tend to absorb the pain and trauma of others until it becomes your own. With the King of Pentacles, you feel as if it is up to you to take care of everyone else, but at what cost if the people around you don’t want to be saved? Whether we’d like to admit it or not, all of us are impressionable. Changes slowly occur within us as we spend more time in toxic environments without even realizing it. Then suddenly one day you wake up and wonder who you are.
A lesson I learned the hard way that I would like to share with you is this: Choose self-respect and it’s a better outcome every time. Temperance is calling you to choose tranquility and peace. Whenever you choose yourself and your own self-preservation, you will feel more in control of your life and your destiny.
Gemini
Your Cards: The Fool, Four of Pentacles, Four of Swords
I’m gonna be blunt because I care: The universe is telling you to shut up, babe. I’m saying this with love. Just stop talking, Queen. Your presence lately lacks that air of mystery. People know a lot more about you than you realize. A simple slip of the tongue reveals more to them than you might realize. It’s not the words they are hearing, but rather the meaning behind it. Gemini, how many people have you pushed away with your passive aggressiveness?
The universe has been trying to warn you by slowly removing the people in your life that you took for granted. Now is not the time to play the victim. It always takes two to tango, so take this isolation as a chance to reflect on yourself and better understand the impact of your words. It’s painful having to look ourselves in the mirror and admit that we’re wrong but this is a necessary step towards betterment.
Take this isolation as your sign to do better. Then you must re-emerge to pick up the pieces you may have broken. Most of your friends and family will forgive you. However, if you’ve pushed some too far, accept it, move on, and never make that mistake again.
I promise you, things will turn out better in the end if you just learned how to shut up. Kisses XX. Remember, not everyone needs to know exactly what you’re thinking at all times
Cancer
Your Cards: The Lovers, The Hanged Man, Death
Cancer, you got three major arcana cards, which means you are currently experiencing a transformative period in your life. As you sense your inner identity shifting towards new ways of thinking and being, you are letting go of old ways. Perhaps it’s time to let go of toxic friends or lovers. Let go of what is holding you back. It can be scary, but by letting go of the negativity around you, it makes room for you to receive more positive energy.
With The Lovers and Death, the universe is encouraging you to change up your style. Call me a shopaholic, but I’m a firm believer in the positive effects of retail therapy. Some might call me a capitalist, but I see it as a necessary evil. Experiment with new looks, try out different trends, and use this period to bring to life this new you. I vote yes to the hair cut, and so does the universe! The more you feel like a ten on the inside and the outside, the more life opens up to you. Be ready to accept love, attention, and admiration. Just remember, presentation is key. It affects the way you hold yourself, and this affects the way people treat you. Maintain boundaries with others, equal the energy they give you, save that energy for yourself and self-care, and find validation through yourself.
Leo
Your Cards: King of Cups, The Lovers, The Fool
Right now, Leo, I think the universe is giving you an extra boost in confidence to prepare you for some pivotal moment regarding close relationships. There is more stability around you, and as a result, you find yourself thinking more clearly and consciously than you may have felt in a while.
As you feel yourself waking up from whatever slumber it is you slipped into, you are now faced with a choice that only you know the answer to. With The Lovers and The Fool, it seems you are being asked whether now is the time to go solo and make a name for yourself as an individual or to embrace compromise and accept partnership. This may mean romantic, professional, or friendship.
Not to scare you, but the choices you make right now will have a very long-term ripple effect on your life. Don’t be nervous. As I said, you know the right choice. Don’t listen to what others have to say, listen to yourself. What is your unconscious whispering to you? Take some time to get lost in your head. Pay attention to your dreams and your intuition. You will know what the right answer is because the right answer will come to you at a moment of peace and balance between your intellect and your intuition. It may come to you like a vision. Wait for this mental clarity, then act on it.
Virgo
Your Cards: Death, The Hanged Man, Three of Pentacles
With The Hanged Man and The Death card, it seems your life has come to a sudden halt. Despite your best efforts to move on and progress, you still find yourself stuck. The universe wants you to accept this. Stop fighting it. Things aren’t meant to change right now. Something isn’t working anymore and you must take this time to figure out why that is.
With the Three Pentacles, there is an opportunity here for you to learn from the people around you. There is something that draws us to one another and often the people we are closest to are mirrors of ourselves. Look into that mirror. What negative traits in yourself do you see playing out in them? How do these traits negatively impact others? How do these traits negatively impact you? By observing your traits in others, you’re better able to see yourself objectively. Likewise what positive traits of yourself do you see in the people around you?
Right now you are learning from your own mistakes by watching others make them. Until you let go of the negative parts of yourself, you will remain stuck in this limbo. The universe is testing you. Will you correct yourself or fall victim to the same unfortunate outcome every single time?
Once this process is done, you’ll find that the road that lies ahead will be exponentially smoother. Life will pick up when it is time. To progress, you must learn from your mistakes and take these lessons with you. With these new lessons and insights, you’ll be ready for whatever tests and trials lie ahead.
Libra
Your Cards: Temperance, Ten of Wands, Ace of Swords
You received the Ten of Wands which is neither good nor bad. When I see this card, it reminds me of Atlas, holding the weight of the world upon his back. Similarly, Ten of Wands indicates that you may be experiencing some intense level of stress as a result of the responsibilities you’ve accumulated. Perhaps you feel as if you have no choice but to solve every problem you have right this second. But this mindset leads to burnout. If the weight has become too much, perhaps you need to take a step back and figure out what is a priority and what issues can wait for later. With Temperance and Ace of Swords, the universe asks you to essentially “trim the fat”.
You’re biting off more than you can chew. I think a lot of us today have been fed this idea that if you’re not spending every second of every day being productive, then you’re somehow “wasting time”. Let go of this idea. Life is about balance and there is no longevity in trying to do everything at once. Libra, you’ve somehow convinced yourself that if you solve all of your problems at once, then you’ll finally be able to find peace within yourself, but it is this very idea that keeps you bound to this endless cycle where you exhibit periods of productivity and persistence only to fall back into burnout and lack of output. Don’t kid yourself into thinking that satisfaction, peace, and happiness only exists at the end of that to-do list.
The universe is trying to help you find the silver linings in life right now. To find peace, tranquility, and gratitude for what you have right now. Peace is not found from without, peace is found from within. The truth for you, Libra, is that as chaotic as life seems now, it’s not going to let up any time soon. Your only chance for survival is by maintaining control over your inner peace and having patience. To keep going, you will have to adjust your mindset and focus on what is within your control. Let go of what you can’t control. Just take it day by day and do what you can.
By trimming the fat, you’re able to give more time and attention to what matters in the present moment. Ignore the future, stop living for tomorrow. Focus on finding peace in this current moment.
Scorpio
Your Cards: King of Cups, Four of Swords, Seven of Swords
I think right now your emotions are both a blessing and a curse. You either feel deeply for others, or you sometimes turn this empathy into viciousness and vindictiveness.
The universe is asking you to say sorry. You know that you’re the bad guy. I don’t have to be the one to tell you that. But sometimes this kind’ve truth can be hard to admit to ourselves. Right now Scorpio though you know you’re in the wrong, it might feel like if you’re the first to call yourself out and apologize, then you would only be bringing attention to your wrongdoing and thus you won’t be forgiven. This couldn’t be any farther from the truth.
The thing about apologies is that they are more of a way for us to release the guilt that we feel. Apologies are the first step in self-growth and emotional maturity. The purpose of the apology isn’t to undo what you did, but rather show that you’re self-aware of it. It is up to the other person to decide whether or not they accept it. You must make peace with the decisions you’ve made and how you’ve hurt those you love most. If they choose not to accept your apology, you can’t get mad. That only indicates that the apology wasn’t sincere and you haven’t learned from your mistakes.
It seems to me Scorpio you find yourself frustrated with this cycle you’re currently trapped in. You find yourself hearing the same criticisms over and over again from the people around you. The thing is, if several people in your life have the same complaint or comment, odds are it’s probably the truth. Until you finally learn your lesson, you’ll be doomed to repeat the same mistake over and over again. You’re frustrated because no matter how many times you say sorry, people are still upset with you. This seems unfair, doesn’t it?
To get yourself out of this rut, you must accept the consequences of your actions and learn from them. That’s it. If you fucked up, welp that’s on you. I know it sucks, I’ve been there myself, but that’s just the way it is. It’s gonna be alright though. You’ll be glad you took this step.
Sagittarius
Your Cards: Five of Swords, Two of Pentacles, Nine of Wands
Your cards appear like a bad omen with the five of swords and the nine of wands. However, this isn’t the case. If anything, the universe wants you to know that the worst has come and gone. Perhaps a major event of some sort has knocked you off balance, as indicated by the two of pentacles. Whatever this event was came immediately after a happy period in your life. As a result, you found yourself clawing your way back into stability, balance, and happiness. Trying to chase that initial high.
Right now, what you need to hear is to not give up. Relief is coming soon. Keep fighting! This relief may be financial. If you are struggling in relationships and love, I think there’s something and someone to look forward to, but only if your energy is open to it.
With the Nine of Wands, you find yourself at the end of your rope, and it’s hard to find the strength to keep fighting. Let me ask you this: What if tomorrow was the day that everything changed for the better? But if you gave up today, then that success would never come. The point I’m trying to make is that the moment you’ve been hoping for could be a month from now, it could be tomorrow, or it could even be five minutes from now. Change could be happening right now and you don’t yet fully see it. Hang on just a little bit longer. I promise it’ll be worth it. You’re gonna be more than alright, Sag.
Don’t worry, stop fighting what you think should happen. Life is supposed to be hard sometimes, and you’ll be grateful you kept fighting. These battles are necessary.
Capricorn
Your Cards: Three of Wands, The Hanged Man, Ten of Cups
I’m a Capricorn, and as I was going to pull our cards, three immediately fell out before I got a chance to even shuffle the deck. And to be honest, just speaking from somewhat personal experience, I feel like the universe wants us to know that it’s okay if your dreams look a little bit different from what you first imagined. I have learned to accept this.
We in life are constantly chasing happiness, and we Capricorns are especially prone to this. We are driven and ambitious, yet we are especially prone to the idea that happiness cannot exist unless we’ve accomplished all our goals. And that happiness also cannot exist unless those goals look exactly how we envisioned them in our heads. That is not how life works, however.
With The Hanged Man and The Ten of Cups, the universe is asking us to challenge these ideas that we’ve held so closely. A lot of the time our identity is tied to our ambitions and goals and unless we attain those goals, then we don’t fully know who we are. By not accomplishing our goals, we have an identity crisis.
Life is never exactly what you thought it would be. You’re never exactly where you thought you would be by a specific age. That’s just the way it is and that’s not a bad thing. Who wants a predictable life anyway? Where is the adventure in that?
What the universe is trying to tell us is that everything is perfect exactly the way it is now. Savor now. Now is sublime. The future will come, those goals will happen, but later. Enjoy right now before it’s too late. The last thing you want is to miss out on life.
Aquarius
Your Cards: The High Priestess, Two of Pentacles, Nine of Wands
Funny enough, Aquarius, your cards were quite similar to Sagittarius—the only difference is you received the High Priestess. With that said, The High Priestess is personally one of my favorite cards and always a good sign in any reading. Whenever I see the High Priestess, what I hear in the back of my head is that the answer is exactly what I think it is. There is no need for deep introspection. And while the universe has been happily sending you signs, I genuinely don’t think you even need them. I think you already know the answer.
You might be thinking “Wow, what a half-assed tarot reading, you’re supposed to tell me exactly what the universe is trying to say to me.” Fair enough. But the thing is, The High Priestess represents the guardian between the subconscious and the conscious. She is the dusk before dawn and the dawn after dusk. She exists as the moon says good morning to the sun and as the sun says good night to the moon.
With that said, The High Priestess is asking you to trust yourself because nobody is going to be able to give you the answer you seek except you. With the Two of Pentacles and the Nine of Wands, I feel as if, similar to Sag, you are at the end of your rope. There may be something troubling you in your relationships. Or you’re debating whether or not you should leave your job and start all over. Again, you’re gonna hate me, but you already know what the answer is.
Pisces
Your Cards: Judgment, Queen of Pentacles, Ten of Wands
I feel like the answers you seek are mostly in terms of finances and career. With the Queen of Pentacles present in your cards, you have this idea of the dream person you wish to be in life. They are successful, financially stable, generous, and surrounded by abundance, though not overwhelmed. After all the work you’ve put in, finally, the universe is ready to decide whether or not you deserve this abundance. Though the adage “you get what you give” rings true, more important than that, the universe wants to give you a little warning. Though this goal you have been working towards is something you’ve wanted and dreamed of for a long time, understand that once you accomplish it and attain what you are after, it’s gonna take a lot of work to maintain that goal and to maintain this level of success. Why? You may have accumulated some haters or enemies that you turned against yourself through greed or shadiness.
The universe is trying to remind you that when striving for the things you want not only will you be judged based on the work that you put in and the sacrifices that you’ve made, but you will also be judged by how fairly you treat others. There is a common misconception that in business and professional environments, we must completely do away with empathy and compassion, but that is not how the world works. It doesn’t matter how high you rise in the ranks, karma will always follow you no matter where you go.
