How To Invite More Happiness Into Your Life (According To Tarot + Birth Month)
The world feels upside down and stressful right now. It’s not lost on me how many reversals I’ve drawn – or that the only card standing face down (The Hanged Man!). We could all use a little lift right now, and happiness is a great stress reliever.
Here is advice from the tarot on how each zodiac sign can invite more happiness!
Aries
Your Card: 4 Cups (Reversed)
In turbulent times, it’s easy to get caught up in self-centeredness and miss the opportunities around us. There is a fine line between being quiet and standing. Right now, instead of feeling enlightened, soul searching makes you feel stuck. Yet you are surrounded by opportunities for happiness – so take a deep breath and choose a direction. If you look closely and with an open heart, you will definitely see your way to it.
Taurus
Your Card: Ace of Wands (Reversed)
Feeling unmotivated? Not focused? Maybe even a little burnt? Give yourself the patience and honesty you can give others, and have some faith in yourself. Change is always around the corner, so give yourself some mental space and rest to prepare. Once you give yourself some grace, you will be able to reconnect with your inner fire and light your way to happiness.
Gemini
Your Card: 7 of Wands (Reversed)
It’s emotionally draining to feel misunderstood! Don’t forget – you deserve happiness and joy and you have the right to defend yourself from those who take it from you. Don’t internalize the argument they want to bring you – be your own biggest advocate and strongest partner. Create healthy boundaries between yourself and anyone who can steal your happiness. The most beautiful and brave thing you can do is to be yourself, despite everything.
Cancer
Your Card: The Hermit (Reversed)
Being empathetic in tumultuous times like these can make the decision to withdraw seem like a simple, logical thing to do. Be careful not to take too long. You are your own best inner guide and time for meditation and reflection can help you center yourself. The answer is within – don’t be afraid to take the time to look for it! Just remember that the line between being alone and lonely is fine.
Leo
Your Card: 10 of Pentacles (Reversed)
It may feel like a distant dream to be surrounded by the abundance described in the 10 of Pentacles, or it may feel like you are surrounded by it and you CAN’T FEEL IT. Sometimes, it’s easier to be happy with someone else – and abundance in the 10 of Pentacles is best when it’s shared. If you still feel disconnected, ask what is so different between where you are and where you want to be?
Virgo
Your Card: The Hanged Man
Sometimes you have to give up a little control in order to see things from a different perspective. This can really annoy you, especially, Virgo. It’s hard to give up control, especially when things seem messy. Remember that giving up for a while, and letting things just flow is not something you can do! Seeing things from a different perspective and just relaxing and letting life happen will allow for some happiness.
Libra
Your Card: 8 of Pentacles (Reversed)
You usually have things in common, but there’s something you’re not paying attention to in your work habits right now, Libra. You may become impatient, overly anxious, or addicted to the feeling of success. No matter how your scales are made, the imbalance can be frustrating. You are talented and talented, and you don’t need to work hard to prove that to anyone. Bring things back to balance. Put yourself first over endless tasks, and happiness will surely follow.
Scorpio
Your Card: Ace of Swords (Reversed)
You’re sharp and you don’t miss much, Scorpio, but it can also get you caught up in analyzing paralysis. Maybe your head and heart feel in conflict, or maybe you’re missing an important piece of information. Regardless, your mental energy feels stuck and leaves you with a confused feeling. You will find joy in clearing your head and making space for yourself so that you can reconnect with your inner compass.
Sagittarius
Your Card: 3 of Swords (Reversed)
It feels easier to shut things down without letting things in after heartache and grief. Betrayal or absence leaves the heart soft and aching. The path to happiness will not be found by shutting yourself out, and it will not be found by beating yourself up. Try your best to reframe the situation as an opportunity to grow and learn, and allow yourself to reconnect. Yes, your heart is soft and opening it up can be scary – but it’s also the path to happiness.
Capricorn
Your Card: King of Cups (Reversed)
Normally you are able to navigate the turbulent waters with your emotional intelligence, but instead you feel restricted and overwhelmed. Your intelligence feels like a mess, and you feel like you’re letting everyone, especially yourself, down. It feels like there is too much at once and not enough. In all this frustration, there is no room for joy, so take a deep breath and give yourself space to let love, and joy, flow in again.
Aquarius
Your Card: 3 of Pentacles (Reversed)
It sounds like progress is slow and communication is blocked. The era of cooperation has become one of intense competition. Everyone has their own special wisdom to bring to this time, and making things happen will require communication and alignment. Instead of letting your ego collide, take a moment to listen – to others and to yourself. Building awareness is your first step to building happiness.
Pisces
Your Card: 10 of Wands (Reversed)
Everything feels so heavy, and since your attention is so divided and stretched, it’s hard to see where happiness can fit. Since everything weighs on you, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed and from there it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Before your thoughts get to the point where you feel overwhelmed by the pressure of it all, remind yourself that you don’t have to give up. Get rid of the unnecessary and make room for yourself – and happiness.
