It’s Monday, dear zodiac signs, and we begin the week with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Scorpio, inviting us to make decisions during the so-called quarter moon phase.
Quarter moon phases are crisis points in astrology between the full moon and the new moon. It’s time to give up or let go of a project if it’s not working out the way you want it to. If you know how to move your vision forward, now is the time to put in the effort and make it work. What else can the day bring or what should you focus your attention on? Look to your zodiac sign’s tarot card to find out.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Tarot card: The Magician
You have so much to offer the world, Aries. You may only be using a small portion of your talents and abilities, which is why you have been given this tarot card today.
The Magician is an indicator that you need to push your boundaries and challenge yourself. Maybe you want to try something but aren’t sure if you’re good at it. Explore it, test the waters and see how it goes.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Tarot card: The Devil
Are you letting things in your life get out of control? Maybe you’re doing it to distract yourself from your feelings. In life, the things we invest time in should have a purpose.
What is the purpose of an argument or activity? What are you hoping to achieve? This answer will help you figure out what you need to know.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Tarot card: The Star
This day brings spiritual energy that allows you to tap into your inner wisdom and share it with others. Perhaps you are in the right place at the right time.
Maybe you have a friend who needs a kind word or advice. Maybe you think of someone and decide to reach out at the right moment. If you get a nudge, don’t ignore it. Listen to your heart, Gemini.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Tarot card: The Hermit
Your inner compass guides you on your journey through life and it is important to realign it when you feel like things around you have gone off course. You need to step back and take a break from the business of the world.
It’s good to evaluate your goals, hopes, dreams and most importantly, your integrity. Knowing who you are and what you stand for is a good place to start.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Tarot card: The Sun
You have been given the Sun tarot card, which is linked to your zodiac sign. If you need a little reminder that the Universe is always on your side, this is it. Today your task is to pay attention to synchronicities and signs around you.
Also, pay attention to confirmation signs. The universe speaks to us in patterns, so if you are being guided in a direction you want to take in multiple areas of life, it may be a sign from heaven that you should follow that direction.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Tarot card: Wheel of Fortune
Great happiness is often the result of hard work and effort. Make the effort today. It’s so easy to put things off and leave them for another day.
You may think you have plenty of time, but use it wisely. The more carefully you plan, the better prepared you will be.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Tarot card: Death
Endings are the stepping stone to powerful beginnings. When a relationship ends, fear often arises, even when it is mutual. It is what you know; soon you will be venturing into the unknown.
Let things happen naturally and take each moment as it comes. There are times when you give up control will give you the security you need.
Scorpio (October 23rd – November 21st)
Tarot card: Justice
Living with integrity immediately improves your quality of life. You don’t have to hide anything from others or be afraid of what people think of you.
Let justice, fairness and kindness be your most important qualities in dealing with others in the workplace today. People respect you, and when they see you as a trustworthy and reliable person, great things start to happen.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Tarot card: Strength
Today could be full of challenges, Sagittarius, but this tarot card shows that you are ready for them. You may need to develop a thick skin to avoid being hurt by something someone says.
People can be harsh critics. Some people don’t watch their words when speaking to others. Your sensitivity might be higher than usual, making you feel vulnerable. Instead of letting it get you down, remember that this is just one opinion among many.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Tarot card: The Tower
Sudden changes can feel problematic if you don’t expect them. Due to an unexpected problem, you may have to solve a lot more problems today than usual.
It’s better to face the situation rather than putting it off until another time or day. Conflicts are likely to end quickly, and once they’re over, you can turn your attention to things that bring you joy and cause less stress.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Tarot card: Temperance
Patience is a virtue, and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t mean you never will. You need to practice this quality when you are around people who don’t meet your expectations.
If you’re disappointed, try to step back and think before you respond. A little distance from the situation is a good start.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Tarot card: The High Priestess
Learn to do nothing. Some situations require passive action. Letting others take over and use their talents and strengths can be just as powerful as doing something yourself.
This day might challenge you to do less and let others work harder and smarter. Being a cheerleader on the sidelines is a great job for you, even if you’re uncomfortable with the art of passivity.
