Learn what your zodiac sign’s daily tarot card reading has in store for you on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Tarot card: Eight of Cups
Something might have to give to make room for something else to spark. It can appear like a sacrifice, when really its a ticket for something better. Now is a good time to evaluate your priorities, or what you think are your priorities, and where your time really is going. Assessment can give you the position to change directions if necessary!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Tarot card: Death, reversed
Change can be something we resist, but ultimately, it is necessary and inevitable. Mandy Hale said, “Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.” Old atmospheres may have served you for a time but can hold you back if you overstay out of fear. You have so much ahead of you, Taurus! So step in faith and live all it out.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Tarot card: Ace of Pentacles
You cannot control all things, Gemini, but do not let that cause you to forgot the power of your hand. For instance, how you do or don’t work towards something. The message of this card is short and sweet: you have gifts and responsibilities in your life. Use them well be thankful for them. What are those things in your life? How can you take the few seeds (resources or gifts) given to you and multiply them?
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Tarot card: Ten of Wands
You can do hard things, Cancer. You can even do the things you don’t want to do, despite every fiber in your being potentially resisting the task at hand. This card serves a message of perseverance and effort plus time in the face of hard work. Push through because it won’t last forever.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Tarot card: The Tower
Not all things that happen to us are good, but even some good can come from them. This can meet you where you’re at today, knowing it doesn’t make the pain vanish but can tie a bigger sense of purpose. It brings awareness to the truth that even in our darkest moments, light is present.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Tarot card: The Magician
Your hand becomes that much more driven when it is led with vision and purpose. A great place to start is asking the why: why is it that you do what you do, or what’s the impact you hope to accomplish through your efforts?
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Tarot card: Four of Pentacles
Guarding valuable assets, like your heart, is wise, Libra. However, be careful: a closed fist lets nothing out, but it also doesn’t let anything else in. Awareness and reflection can guide you through. For it often isn’t about one or the other but a cultivation of both.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Tarot card: Ten of Wands, reversed
This card warns against being duped or foiled by a perceived shortcut; being distracted by glitter. So, when quickly getting ready to take on a new opportunity, be sure you have the full scope. That you aren’t being blinded by the beauty yet missing a crucial aspect.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Tarot card: Page of Wands, reversed
This year, lets work to foster more compassion and love, less judgment and shame. This can be a hard thing to cultivate, especially if you grew up with contrary things. To do so, you may need to get down to deep-rooted beliefs. For instance, are there ways in which you believe condemnation is the only way you can move through mistakes?
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Tarot card: Seven of Swords
To experience a renewed spirit, you may need to release things you’ve been holding onto. Perhaps old ways of thinking or even unmet expectations can limit goodness into a box. Acceptance can be a crucial step in stepping out of a mourning spirit and into one of embracing where you are.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Tarot card: Six of Cups
There is joy in the little things, Aquarius. This might look like enjoying simple, wholesome activities available for you. Maybe it’s playing a little tune while doing the dishes, soaking up the morning sunshine or loving your pets. It doesn’t have to be complicated; it can be seeing the beauty in the things you may have grown so familiar with.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Tarot card: The Priestess
A receptive state of mind can be your biggest strength, Pisces. Being limited to only what your eyes can see can leave you blind-sighted. Others can spot things you don’t, but what good is it if not considered?
