The Sun and The Moon Can Make Life Tense Today

Today, the Sun (in Gemini) will be square with Mars (still in Pisces). While the urge to communicate may be strong, the Sun's influence on the turbulent Mars may have you wasting your energy on being bitter and incredibly competitive. Everyone is passionate, and quarrels are unavoidable. The sensitive impact on Mars from Pisces makes for a dangerous blend of tension, rage, and a problem with authority. The Sun in Gemini only makes it easier for us to jump the gun and start spitting venom.

Today, the Moon is shifting into Capricorn until the ninth of this month, allowing our under-the-surface emotions to rear their head. The reserved, yet authoritative Capricorn energy may allow us to hold our ground when it comes to our unconscious needs and desires. Combining the feminine and masculine energies of the Moon and Capricorn, we see in ourselves a firm, unwavering sense of what we can tolerate, what we cannot, and what we really crave.

Overall, don't be surprised when you're butting heads with everyone around you.

Unfortunately, there is nothing new to report here! The planets are still as they have been for the time being.

Daily Tarot - What You Can Expect Based on Your Sun Sign

Aries

Today may be rough as your passionate nature is weakened by a lack of self-discipline, a lack of control over the situation, and a lack of faith in yourself and the Universe. According to the major arcana card Strength, in the reversed position, you may not be feeling the most courageous, patient, or compassionate today. Try to look through someone else's perspective today and give yourself a little more credit.

Taurus

The Three of Wands reversed tells me that today you'll be experiencing a lack of foresight. It'll be harder to make plans today compared to usual, for there will be unexpected delays, problems, and bumps in your road. This will present an obstacle to your long term goals. To circumvent this, if you still need to move forward with your plans, make sure that you're over-prepared for your venture, and be ready to be flexible.

Gemini

Be wary of financial and emotional loss today. The reversed Ten of Pentacles implies this is a time when you may be feeling lonely or out of the loop, not having a close family to rely on. When in the upright position, this card can show us a time of financial prosperity, so while reversed, this card is more likely to hint at a financial failure, so-to-speak. Be careful with your money today, and reach out to your close friends, significant other, and family if you're feeling isolated.

Cancer

At this time you may either be skulking away from responsibility or taking on more than you can handle. The Ten of Wands reversed depicts a figure carrying ten wands in a bundle that looks ready to fall apart despite being on the outskirts of the town. This is a good time to evaluate what it is you want to accomplish as well as what is achievable for you. With the Moon in Capricorn, determining what it is that you want, and what it is that you need, will come easier if you listen to your intuition.

Leo

The Upright Six of Wands tells me that you will have all the eyes on you, just like you want it. Expect to receive public recognition and praise among your peers and coworkers for your progress and success in your endeavors. Today you're basking in your self-confidence and the positive attention it creates for you!

Virgo

As shown by The Lovers, a major arcana card, today will be your relief after yesterday's chaos. Expect a deeper, more honest, and vulnerable connection with a loved one or close friend; this card appears to tell us about a time that revolves around unity and an alignment of values between individuals. The Lovers can also encourage us to choose our battles, choose who we want to be in life, choose what our values are, and choose who to be in relationships with. It feels like today will be very important to you, Virgo, so don't be afraid to show your naked soul.

Libra

The Queen of Swords tells me you should expect your abilities to be at a peak today. Your decisive, logical, fair, and organized way of thinking and living is a breath of fresh air. It will allow you the independence you want today, and even if you have to think on your feet, you welcome the challenge. You know better than to waste your time quarreling when it isn't necessary, and the boost from the Capricorn energy and the Moon will make it that much easier to do what you do best.

Scorpio

Following the reversed Death card from yesterday, the reversed Five of Swords card reveals that you're over it. You now wish to move on, your subconscious being elucidated by the Moon in Capricorn, but you're facing constant conflict about it. Either conflict you've tried to leave behind is standing in your way, or shreds of past resentment still linger in your thoughts. As suggested yesterday, moving forward is in your best interest.

Sagittarius

Today the world is going to throw some oddball choices your way, and it will probably feel like you're in a dream. The Seven of Cups is a card of fantasy and wonder as much as it is a card about illusion, imagination, and wishful thinking. Be aware that your point of view may not be as realistic as it is ambitious, and try to give other perspectives a turn today. Also, be on the lookout for any strange happenings and choices that the Universe is asking you to make!

Capricorn

The reversed Knight of Pentacles reveals that today you're probably going to feel lazy and stuck in your environment, suffering from "I'm bored" syndrome and a lack of activity. Don't expect too much to happen today, for a day to do nothing may be what you've been needing. If that doesn't resonate with you, then maybe it's time to get your lazy bones up and set out to do one productive thing today, whether its for you, your space, or your friends and family.

Aquarius

The reversed Ace of Cups is a card that typically tells us you're repressing your emotions and blocking them out from the world. Whether you're afraid of getting hurt or rocking the boat, you don't feel compelled to share your perspective today. This would also be a good time for a bit of self-care and self-love, as the water flows upward towards the hand when this card is reversed. Follow your intuition and give yourself a break so that your creativity can flow again in the future.

Pisces

Today will be your day of abundance and feeling feminine. The Empress can signify aspects in your life such as fertility, nature, and being surrounded by the garden you have grown. It's time to chill out and enjoy what you already possess. Don't be afraid to dress up and take charge in your own way, since it's likely your associates already respect your allure and creativity.

Let's Wrap It Up

Tensions are high, and debates are frequent. Make sure to be clear on your own values and perspective—as well as how it may be biased—before you engage in conversations with others about the topic. Your subconscious knows what it wants, so listen to it!
