5 Zodiac Signs Looking For New Guidance (+ Advice From A Tarot Reader)
There are five zodiac signs that will be feeling the call to a new place this year. Here are brief tarot readings for Libra, Pisces, Capricorn, Virgo, and Sagittarius to help guide them.
The three cards drawn for each reading represent:
- What you have to hold on to
- What has to go
- What can you invite
Virgo
What to Hold On To: The Knight of Cups, reversed. It’s hard to open up in love, especially when you’re aware of a newly wounded heart. Love yourself for now. Be both understanding and validating the feelings you have right now, as strength, compassion, and empathy will be invaluable on your journey.
What you can avoid: The King of Swords. Let go of your need for absolute control or the feeling of sitting in judgment – it will limit, and ultimately weaken, your mind. Objective and rational assessment is important – but so is understanding emotional experience.
What to invite: Shepherd. You have everything you need to meet the deadline – knowledge, resources, and will. Although it can be difficult to understand that it is within our power to change our lives, it is the knowledge we need to be able to manifest the life we want. As you open a new path for yourself, keep your purpose and goals in your mind’s eye. The Magician is a powerful message that what you want can be in your hands.
Libra
What To Hold On To: The Queen of Swords. Ultimately it’s in your nature to analyze and balance like the Queen of Swords, Libra. You have a talent for understanding how much compassion should be used to temper your pragmatism.
What to avoid: Seven of Swords. You will find more success by being frank instead of subtle. There are no practical shortcuts to the work you will need to do to change the course of your life. Be prepared for a long journey, and don’t fool yourself into thinking there are paths around you.
What to Invite: Lord of Pentacles. The way to create something new and lasting is a steady, consistent effort. A direct approach to the work to be done will eventually be rewarded. Pragmatism and hard work are the themes that unite the messages of these three cards, and if you can invite the thought of abundance, you will find great success in the new path you are looking for.
Sagittarius
What to Hold onto: Strength. Strength is not physical effort, it is brute force. It is about the courage to face something big and mysterious with a calm and collected spirit. Power is not about a lion – it’s about a woman who knows how to comfort it and knows it well. What would you do with the fire within you, if you could direct it with a meaningful purpose?
What to Avoid: Nine Cups. There is a fine line between enjoyment and escapism. Desires are good things, but when you’re aiming for something new, it’s not the time to stray into the realm of instant gratification. There is work to be done, and overindulging will only lead to more distractions and dissatisfaction.
To invite: Knight of Cups, reversed. There are a lot of big emotions to deal with when you take on so many new things in life, and sometimes it can cause old emotions and open wounds. Look at it as an opportunity to heal. If you can, you will eventually move towards something instead of away from something.
Capricorn
What to Hold On To: The Moon. Your awareness of the depth of the world around you and your ability to slowly reach within will be an important guide for you as you look to take your life to a new place. Pay close attention to your dreams, and note any signs you see of conflict between your sleeping and waking worlds.
What to Avoid: Seven of Wands. As you question your way forward, realize that this is no time to feel defensive. Allow yourself to question what you believe. If it’s worth your time and commitment, belief can withstand your analysis.
What you can invite: Nine Cups. What happens if you allow yourself to dream too much, Capricorn? What would you do if you could do anything? Who would you be if you could be who? As you look to find your new direction, you can use the answers to guide you to something meaningful and true to you.
Pisces
What You Can Hold On To: Eight of Swords, Reversed. It’s time to practice greater self-acceptance, Pisces. Accept the mistakes you may have made in the past. Be careful not to play the victim, or create stories that trap you instead of empowering you.
What to drop: Six of Swords. It’s time to leave the past behind and move forward, really indeed move forward. You’ve gone through the transition and now you’re busy making it happen. Change can be scary, especially if you’re moving your entire life in a new direction, but now is not the time to resist it.
What you can invite: Two lips, reversed. You’ve been through a lot with people, and it’s natural to feel confused and on edge. Remember that we are social creatures. To help accelerate your growth in a new environment, work on some past traumas that may have impacted your ability to form new relationships.
