What You Should Release During This Week’s Full Moon, Based On Your Zodiac + Tarot

ARIES

Your Card: The Lovers, reversed

If you’re in a relationship, this card is showing strained communication between you and your significant other. Right now, you’re not on the same page. There’s an imbalance and a coldness that wasn’t there before. Be honest about your true desires and about your fears. Is what you have worth working for? If so, you need to release any resentment and bring love and compassion back into your relationship. If it feels like you no longer share the same values or it’s taking too much of a toll on your well-being, it might be time to let this relationship go. For the Aries that’s single, this card is calling you to let go of any unreciprocated feelings you may have for someone. One person is more emotionally attached than the other. If it’s them, then release them. You’re too much of a powerhouse to waste your time on someone who isn’t obsessed with you. If you’re the one with a fear of commitment, then ask yourself why. Don’t let your fear of hurt get in the way if someone is inspiring you to be vulnerable and open up. 

TAURUS

Your Card: The Moon, reversed

This Full Moon you’re being called to release any self-limiting beliefs that prevent you from making progress. You’ve been neglecting your deepest instincts because you’ve been letting anxiety control how you act and how you express yourself. There are restrictive ideas that are getting in the way of you living as the most empowered version of you. Taurus, The Moon reversed is telling you to let go of any fears and self-doubts holding you back. It’s time to rewrite your narrative and to forget all past criticism that has clouded your self-perception. There may be old emotions that you’ve buried resurfacing in this moment, it’s time for you to let yourself feel them. You won’t be leaving them in the past until you fully allow yourself to process them. 

GEMINI

Your Card: Six of Swords, reversed 

You’re resistant to much necessary change right now, Gemini. It could be a tumultuous relationship, a belief, a behavioral pattern, instability, or feelings that belong in the past that are keeping you from embracing a new way of thinking to undergo the transition you need. You might be telling yourself that you just need to be strong enough to hang on, that you can put up with whatever is afflicting you, that you need to make it work. Deep in your heart, however, you know that it’s time to move on. Examine what’s binding you, and let it go. Whether it’s a loveless relationship you thought would one day turn into a fairy tale, an insecurity, a toxic friendship, or unresolved conflict, you need to let it go. Stop returning to the past, stop questioning your decisions, and forget about closure. Some business remains unfinished for a reason—you never need to go near it again.

CANCER

Your Card: The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man is screaming at you to surrender and master the art of letting go, Cancer. You’re being challenged to consider the infinite alternative perspectives and choices available to you. Right now you’re at a standstill, you’re stagnant, and you keep trying to push through your days keeping busy and distracting yourself from the real issue. Right now you feel like you’re getting nothing in return for your efforts, and that may be true, but it’s only because you keep going about it in the same manner and with the same thought process. Slow down. Release old patterns. Learn something new. Surrender your ego’s desire and need for control. Your inner discontentment comes from jumping one thing to the next without considering how your behavior may be hurting you. It may be uncomfortable, but discomfort is needed for your growth.

LEO

Your Card: The World, reversed

You’re seeking closure Leo, but trying to take shortcuts to get there is leaving you off worse than where you started. You need to put in the hard work to move away from where you’re at currently. Right now you’re near the end of a journey or era, but you can’t quite get past the finish line because there are still attachments you haven’t been willing to surrender. The World reversed is also beckoning you to examine where you may be trying to beat a dead horse. You may be throwing all your energy into a particular goal, relationship, or situation only to feel like you’re receiving nothing in return for your efforts. What is missing, Leo? Where do you feel burdened? What aspect of your life leaves you wanting for more? This may be the issue you need to find closure in and move away from. If it’s not working for you and your wholeness, then it’s time to cut your losses and say goodbye.

VIRGO

Your Card: Page of Wands

Virgo, this Full Moon is calling you to let go of any blockages that hinder your creativity, your inspiration, your spiritual growth, and your social advancement. It’s beckoning you to step forward into a place that resonates with your most authentic self. You have all the capabilities not just to make your world a better place, but to make the world a more beautiful place. Right now you need to release all the pressure you have to conform. Free yourself from the burdens of daily life that prevent you from transforming your life into a work of art. Let go of your fear of the unknown, that fear that leaves your ideas in abstract form and prevents you from turning them into something tangible. Overcome those personal discouragements and go wherever your passions, your creativity, and your curious mind may lead you. 

LIBRA

Your Card: Knight of Pentacles, reversed 

In order to successfully continue on your chosen path, you need to let go of the idea of perfectionism. Stop focusing so much on the tiny details. Take a step back and soak in the bigger picture. Things won’t always happen how or when you expect them. It would benefit your mental health to let go of timelines and expectations while you work hard to accomplish your dreams and desires. You’ve been a bit of a workaholic lately, running yourself ragged and letting your life become mundane. It’s okay to loosen the reins a little bit and let loose. You’re not going to make any progress while you’re all wound up. Take note of repetitive patterns and impracticalities hindering you from getting where you want to be. It might be time to shake things up and take a different approach. On the other hand, this card may be calling you out for the opposite—for being irresponsible. You know which it is. This is also a warning to cut out impulsive buys and risky purchases. Stop wasting money you don’t need to waste. And speaking of waste, stop wasting your time and efforts on that person in your life who refuses to prove their commitment…let them go.

SCORPIO

Your Card: Page of Cups, reversed

Scorpio, the Page of Cups is signifying that there is a lot that you need to release this full moon in order to get closer to a more free, authentic, and empowered version of you. You must start with letting go of your fears. Of the things that keep you awake at night. Of the things that make you afraid of failure. Of your insecurities. Of the creative blocks that prevent new ideas from taking shape. Of projects you no longer find joy in. Of your willingness to use escapism as a form of distraction to all your fears. When things get too difficult to face, you use sex, alcohol, drugs, and other vices to escape. How’s that working out for you, Scorpio? In order to let go of your emotional wounds, you must first be willing to face them. It’s your past disappointments and heartbreak holding you back from truly expressing yourself and going after what you want. 

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: The High Priestess 

The High Priestess is telling you to stop doubting your intuition, wisdom, and inner knowledge. Listen to what your gut instinct, your instincts, and your subconscious is telling you. Let go of your self-doubt and of the gaslighting you commit against yourself. Release all the external noise and dig deep, Sagittarius. Just for a little bit, you need to let go of trying to find all the answers and instead take some time trying to form the right questions. Reconnect with yourself so you can learn to hear and trust your inner voice again. Ignore the outside world for a little while and pay attention to what your soul, dreams, and subconscious mind are saying. Let go of distractions and let what’s hidden rise to the surface. Release your insecurities and trust in your higher power. 

CAPRICORN

Your Card: Four of Cups

Capricorn, you need to drop your victimhood and reassess your attitude. The Four of Cups is telling you it’s time for a much needed personal reevaluation. You need to let go of external distractions in order to align with your next phase. You’ve got an extremely negative mind set right now that is only fueling your lack of motivation and discouragement. Why have you lost your passion? What’s truly important to you? Are you living a life right now that’s conducive to obtaining your true dreams and desires? Disconnect, Capricorn. Let go of social media, outings, distractions, and escapism. You need to for a little while in order to gain more clarity. Release yourself from your own mental stubbornness and find yourself out of this rut. The answer is there, you just need to stay still for a minute.  

AQUARIUS

Your Card: Death

Aquarius, you’re on the cusp of a personal reinvention—of a deeply transformative phase that will forever alter your course and bring about abundance in all aspects. Before giving birth to this new, improved version of you, there are things that you need to let die—or kill. You need to let go of the past. You need to release old feelings. You need to say goodbye to negative patterns. You need to surrender your resistance to change. Let go of your fear of the future, it will be a more beautiful place than where you are today. Evolving may hurt, it may be challenging, and it may get messy, but you have to do it. Release situations and people that are not good for you. If it’s not making you a better person or happier, then you need to part ways with it. 

PISCES

Your Card: The Star

Pisces, this Leo Full Moon you need to release whatever turmoil you’ve experienced. You’ve gone through an awful life challenge and have come out (or are getting close to coming out) on the other side. What awaits you is a renewed sense of purpose, the reinstatement of your faith in yourself, hope, and rebirth. You’re going to get that self-trust back, but you need to leave behind all the scars you obtained in battle. At least, you need to look at them in a different light. They’re what proved that you can still be vulnerable, that you can still put yourself out there, that you can still show up as your most authentic self. Let go of the loss, Pisces, and recognize all that you’re going to win—your inner power. So, shed the disappointment, the heartache, the deceptions, the self-limiting beliefs, and all the facades. Open your heart for the more beautiful and more genuine things that await you.
