Why You’re Single, Based On Your Zodiac + Tarot

Aries

Your card: Page of Cups

Has anyone ever told you that you can be a little emotionally immature? Well, the cards are telling you now. Youโ€™re sometimes so focused on making the best of the other parts of your lifeโ€“filling them with adventure and funโ€“that you neglect the serious. Either chill out a little or find someone on your wavelength.

Taurus

Your card: Queen of Swords

Youโ€™re direct, which is a plus, but that directness can often backfire. You come across as cold sometimes, and thatโ€™s usually when youโ€™re suppressing your emotions. Youโ€™re an emotional person. Embrace it. Let it out and you wonโ€™t be the robot that everyoneโ€™s so intimidated by.

Gemini

Your card: 5 of Swords

Your relationships arenโ€™t without a lot of conflict. Have you noticed the pattern yet? Perhaps youโ€™re the drama. Youโ€™re prone to self-sabotage, and that comes through in your lack of a partner. Quit the fear and negativity and you might just start noticing a drama-free relationship soon.

Cancer

Your card: The Moon

Youโ€™re often left wondering โ€œwhy.โ€ Why did they break up with you? Why did it start so great and then quickly fizzle out? Why are you single now? Itโ€™s precisely all that wondering thatโ€™s got you here. Youโ€™re in your own head far more often than youโ€™re outside of it. Quit letting fear turn you paranoid and you might just start attracting the right people again.

Leo

Your card: 10 of Cups

Youโ€™re single because, frankly, you donโ€™t really care about dating right now. Youโ€™re pretty happy with your life as it is, so the desire to actually put yourself out there is lowโ€“and thatโ€™s okay! You donโ€™t have to be in a relationship if youโ€™re not feeling it. Just keep up that content, happy attitude youโ€™ve got going on, and everything will work out.

Virgo

Your card: 10 of Pentacles

I hate to say this (because itโ€™s rarely true), but your standards might be a tad too high, Virgo. I get that you want someone successful, but holding out for a 6โ€™3โ€ณ millionaire might mean that youโ€™ll be waiting forever. Then again, youโ€™ve always been good at sticking to your goals. If anyone can pull it off, itโ€™s you.

Libra

Your card: 2 of Wands

Youโ€™ve got grand plans, and dating isnโ€™t on the list right now. You have your focus on other areas of your life. You can save the relationship for later. At least thatโ€™s what youโ€™re telling yourself. But is it true, or are you just using it as an excuse for why your anxiety is keeping you from trying?

Scorpio

Your card: 9 of Cups

Youโ€™re feeling great lately. Youโ€™ve never been this content with being single beforeโ€“and you like how it fits on you. While youโ€™re still interested in finding a relationship, youโ€™re living that manifestation lifestyle and waiting for good things to come to you. It might work, it might not. But youโ€™ll be happy and content while on this ride.

Sagittarius

Your card: Death

Donโ€™t start freaking out about the Death card. It just means change: One journey ending and another one beginning. Maybe youโ€™re going through a breakup or thereโ€™s instability in other areas of your life. Or perhaps youโ€™re discovering new things about yourself. Ride out this transition period and only then will you be ready for a new partner.

Capricorn

Your card: 7 of Cups

You donโ€™t know what you want right now, and thatโ€™s okay. You can either ride out those feelings and hope they go away on their own, or do some self-discovery and transition out of this sooner. Either way, you wonโ€™t truly find someone right for you until you find out what you actually want.

Aquarius

Your card: The Wheel of Fortune

Youโ€™re just kind of hanging back and letting things happen. You figure that if you were meant to be in a relationship, youโ€™d be in one. And maybe youโ€™re right. Fate could be the reason why youโ€™re single. Or it could be that youโ€™re so willing to let fate decide that you arenโ€™t putting any effort in at all. Itโ€™s up to you to figure out which one that is.

Pisces

Your card: 2 of Pentacles

You have a lot going on. You arenโ€™t going to be one of those people who hinges all their happiness on whether theyโ€™re in a relationship. At least thatโ€™s what youโ€™re telling yourself, and you mostly believe it. Right now youโ€™re โ€œtrusting the processโ€ in hopes that love will find you. Hey, that might work! Itโ€™s better than spending all day on dating apps anyway.
