Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Tarot card: The World
Luck finds you where you are, Aries. Have you ever thought that you work too hard to achieve things? Hard work and perseverance create the perfect storm for fate to come your way. Stay true to your goal and don’t fall victim to manipulative tactics to get what you want. Follow your life path and watch the universe open the right doors.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Tarot card: Five of Wands
When gossip becomes a habit, it can cause problems. It’s easy to talk about another person when everyone else is doing it. Instead of following rumors at work, avoid the drama at the coffee machine. Focus on quality conversations. Ignore the rest.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Tarot card: King of Wands
You can start something new today and complete it. This tarot card shows that you have the power to make something happen. Are you in a situation where you are wondering where the funds will come from or what you can do to make a change? Don’t worry too much. Instead, start where you are. Rely on yourself. You can be resourceful and find what you need.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Tarot card: Queen of Wands
Listen to your intuition today. When you least expect it, a spark of insight may come to you. Perhaps you are running errands or meditating a little and an idea or vision pops into your head. Pay attention to these connections with your higher power. They open your mind to the possibilities of what can be.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Tarot card: Ten of Swords
It’s hard to let go of something you want but know isn’t right for you. Today may be a day to admit defeat, but see it as a life lesson, not a confirmation of failure or lack of future success. Allow yourself to be disappointed for now, but set a time limit for how long you will feel this way. There is more to do, and the future is waiting for you to find your greatness.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Tarot card: Eight of Swords
You may feel trapped, but do you really have no other choice? Emotions can make you feel like you can’t do anything, like your hands are tied. But that could be more fear than reality. You could be just one small step away from making a decision that changes everything for you. Take off the blindfold and take a closer look. A potential way out could be right in front of your eyes.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Tarot card: Eight of Cups
Try to calm your heart, Libra. Today can be a very emotional day, and it’s important for you to understand your feelings. You can keep a journal or talk to a friend. It’s good to put your thoughts into words. Putting feelings into form can be healing.
Consider using your hands for artistic purposes today or for a hobby you love. Be open to new experiences. Direct your attention to things that show you there is more to explore outside of you. Give yourself space to breathe.
Scorpio (October 23rd – November 21st)
Tarot card: The Tower
Some craziness may arise due to things beyond your control. Maybe an appointment has to be rescheduled at the last minute or you miss a dinner date because of traffic. Take these moments in stride. A sense of humor and patience can go a long way on days like these.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Tarot card: Two of Wands
Two heads are better than one, and this tarot card is a positive sign for working with a like-minded person. You have lots of great ideas, so why not work with a partner who can help you bring them to life? Be open to talking to a trusted friend or colleague who is on the same wavelength as you. You can achieve so much more with help; let someone you know be there for you.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Tarot card: Page of Cups
Great passion can be a powerful motivator for change and progress. What are you most passionate about? Do you want to help animals in need? Do you love feeding the homeless or poor children? This is a great day to partner with a nonprofit or donate money to a cause you believe in. Let your generosity flow.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Tarot card: Ace of Wands
A small act of kindness and charity can go a long way. You may feel like you can’t make a big impact, but you never know until you try. If you have an idea to start a project, nonprofit, fundraiser, or other way to help, consider doing so today.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Tarot card: King of Swords
Why argue? You may be tempted to debate with someone, perhaps about politics. Instead of fighting or trying to prove your point, let others have their views while you defend your own. It may be difficult to take the right path and be a peacemaker today, but you can do it. Some things are not worth spending your energy on. Think about how you can use your time more productively.
