The Tough Love Advice You Need To Hear Right Now, Based On Your Zodiac + Tarot

Aries

Your Card: Eight of Wands

You’re waiting for the right moment to make things happen but the truth is, there will never be a right moment. The stars won’t perfectly align for you. Stop waiting for life to happen, make life happen for yourself, Aries. There are no perfect conditions. The things you want won’t just fall onto your lap, you know this but you’re caught up in this idea that the world owes you something and you shouldn’t have to ask. If you want the things that you believe you deserve, you have to take action right now.

Taurus

Your Card: Three of Pentacles

With the Three of Pentacles, you’ve been rather arrogant regarding the work you produce or creative pursuits. Confidence is one thing, arrogance is another. Right now Taurus, you’re not listening to the criticisms of those around you. You’ve almost convinced yourself that they just don’t understand you and the work that you do, but somehow other people will get it and those opinions are more valid somehow. The thing is, for the most part, everyone has a fair observation to make. You don’t have to accept all of the criticism, but do your best to listen. It’s not fun, but it is necessary.

Gemini

Your Card: Queen of Pentacles

You’ve been a little selfish lately, Gemini. There are people around you that are important to you but instead of asking what you can do to help them, you seem to be asking what they can do for you. While it is important to take care of yourself, there comes a certain line. Right now, you’re finding justifications to soothe your ego for why it is you’re acting the way you are but ask yourself, if you were in need, how would you feel if your friend came up with some self-serving reason to not be there for you?

Cancer

Your Card: Three of Cups

With the Three of Cups, you may find yourself leaning too much on your friends and family for emotional support. You gotta toughen up a bit, Cancer. While they are happy to be there for you, your problems shouldn’t become their problems. At a certain point, you’re going to have to learn how to pick yourself up. If you continue to use those around you as an emotional crutch, it might push them away a bit. Not only that, you will never know how to grow stronger from this. Right now you might feel scared to deal with things alone, but it will teach you to push your limits and that you are far more self-sufficient than you may have thought.

Leo

Your Card: The Moon

Leo, you are connected to The Sun card, so for you to receive The Moon card is quite interesting. You’re so used to being out and about and the center of attention, but with The Moon card present, it seems you’re not receiving that same level of recognition that was once so addicting for you. Because you seem to be losing your grip on the people around you, you seem to be retreating into your world to cope with the lack of adoration. Everyone thinks of themselves as the main character, you’re not the only one. Being lonely is not the same thing as being alone. Perhaps it might be beneficial for you to learn how to slow down and accept this emotional solitude. You often confuse peace for boredom. But this is what you must learn to accept, inner peace.

Virgo

Your Card: Ten of Cups

You typically prefer the company of your solitude but lately, you’ve been experiencing this unshakable feeling that you’re not used to… It’s called, loneliness Virgo. But it is a loneliness that is self-inflicted. The fear of being with and being without. You’ve convinced yourself that you are all that you need and you prefer not to depend on those around you for emotional satisfaction but this isn’t sustainable any longer. You’re missing out on experiencing the closeness of people who care and love you. The Ten of Cups illustrates the image of a happy family under a crescent moon. It represents the satisfaction and wholeness we feel around those we love the most. Emotional intimacy has always been scary for you, but understand that while life is fine alone, it’s so much more enjoyable with someone there. Pull them closer to you.

Libra

Your Card: The Hanged Man

You’re in the wrong. Straight up. I’m not beating around the bush because I know you can handle the hard truth better than many of the other signs. You’re committed to fairness and balance but you’re letting your emotions get the best of you. The Hanged Man is a reminder to take a step back and see the situation from a different angle. There are people around you who are feeding your ego, and telling you what to hear. Deep down you know this, but it’s nice to feel right. Take a step back, and look at the situation objectively. You always do the right thing in the end, but don’t allow your emotions to blind you. You’re only human, you’re not perfect and sometimes, even you’re wrong.

Scorpio

Your Card: The Moon

Interestingly enough, you also received The Moon tarot card just like Leo. I can only take it as a meaningful sign, Scorpio. With that said, you’re being overly dramatic. Straight up, babe. You’re acting like a bit of a prima donna. You’re getting upset over non-issues and you’re coming off incredibly judgmental to others. It’s not a great look. Like the phases of the moon, you’re just cycling through a normal emotional response to whatever has happened. Allow yourself to sit with your feelings and get them under control before you have something to say in response.

Sagittarius

Your Card: Strength

The Strength card illustration shows a brave young woman taming a lion. She calmly places her hand in its mouth and soothes the predator with ease. However, Sagittarius, I get the sense that, it seems like you might be trying so hard to act as the lion tamer and soothe the situations of others around you when you’re just involving yourself in problems that don’t involve you at all. You’re being a bit nosey for lack of better words. And with your hand in so many other people’s problems, be careful because you may lose control of the lion and get bit.

Capricorn

Your Card: Ace of Swords

The truth is smacking you in the face, Capricorn. What are you missing here? How much more indication do you need to hear to realize that you’re in denial of a certain potential outcome of a certain situation? I’m not saying you’re completely in the wrong, but what I am saying is that you’re going about this whole thing in the dumbest way possible. You might not want to admit to yourself, but your emotions are more engaged with your decisions than you’d like to admit. The Ace of Wands is asking you to widen your consciousness and be open to receiving insight into the situation.

Aquarius

Your Card: Six of Wands

Don’t allow this 15 seconds of fame you may be experiencing to get to your head, Aquarius. Something is giving you a bigger head than you need. Accept recognition, but don’t get ahead of yourself. You’re still human and you’re still capable of fucking up. Stay focused on what needs to happen and don’t allow this false sense of celebrity to make you think that’s all that matters. What matters is the quality of what you do. Stay focused on results and not so much the attention you may or may not receive.

Pisces

Your Card: Judgment

You’re not above being human. With the Judgement card here, it feels like you’re holding others to a certain level of standards and expectations which you cannot even hold yourself to, Pisces. You’re not perfect either—stop kidding yourself into thinking you aren’t capable of making the same mistakes as others.
