Daily Tarotscopes by the Tarot Priestess - April 13, 2021

By Mahasweta Mazumder

Aries(March 21 - April 20):

The Empress reminds you that sometimes all you need to do is nurture. If you have a goal or dream don't push too hard. Just provide the right conditions for that dream to flourish. Positive self talk, affirmations, being kind to yourself, celebrating your talents and success, all of this will create fertile soil for your dreams to take root and grow. Sometimes when we try too hard we end up interfering in the magical process that is unfolding. If we take a back seat, relax and allow things to unfold on their own, we may be surprised at how little effort is needed to accomplish our goals.

Taurus(April 21- May 21):

The Queen of Wands indicates that you will be optimistic, outgoing and full of energy. People will be tired just looking at you because you are always on the go. This card represents taking charge of things and organizing your life. It is a card of being efficient and helping others. It can also represent being chaotic and forgetful as the amount of things you have taken on might take their toll after a while. As a person, the Queen of Wands represents a mature female or a feminine person who is energetic, vivacious, strong, courageous and passionate.

Gemini(May 22 - June 21):

The Page of Pentacles represents the passion you feel for what really interests you. This can be a goal, a talent, a creative pursuit or a career that you love. To get better at anything you have to work at it. When your interest becomes work, it can be easy to forget why you used to love it. The process of getting better at anything is tuned with mistakes. Errors are your best teachers. If you don't remind yourself what you love about the work you do, your morale can quickly sink. If you throw in comparing yourself to others who you think do it better and you have got a perfect recipe for anxiety, apathy or avoidance. In order to reclaim your passion, get back to the basics.

Cancer(June 22 - July 22):

Seven of Pentacles represents stopping to look around you and appreciating what you have created. It symbolises the need to periodically review your progress, what you have achieved and what you are still working towards. The road may not have been easy and your work may not be over, but your foundation is firmly rooted. This card reminds you to stop ignoring or minimising your accomplishments. What positive results have you manifested in your life? Have you ever written down your achievements to see how much you have done?

Leo (July 23 - August 23):

Page of Swords comes with a warning. Don't speak until you have thought things through. If you are feeling particularly annoyed with someone, you may be tempted to write them a snippy email or give them a piece of your mind. Put some distance between the event that upsets you and your response. Give yourself time to calm down, collect your thoughts and evaluate your feelings. The Page of Swords can also indicate feeling uncertain about something. If you feel this way, use the power of your pen to shift through your feelings. Write down all your concerns on a  piece of paper and shred or burn the paper after, if you are worried about others finding it.

Virgo (August 24 - September 22):

Libra (September 23 - October 23):

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22):

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21):

Knight of Pentacles indicates that it is now time to saddle in for a long run. Rest assured, steady progress will be made in due course. It indicates that we can see a practical way of dealing with all situations and circumstances that will cross our path at this time. The card also tells us to pay attention to the mundane and normal parts of our life. A wise man once said.” take care of the little things and the big things will all fall into place”. The Knight of Pentacles asks you to look at how you're handling your affairs and is a grounding influence. It also suggests that a stagnant situation will soon change at times it may also infer that you may find yourself suddenly spiritually overwhelmed , potentially with no obvious reason. Try to break down these feelings into manageable chunks. There is no need for you to tackle your whole life in one sitting.

Capricorn( December 22 - January 20):

The Hanged Man represents making a temporary sacrifice to achieve a greater goal. This could mean sacrificing time, energy, comfort, resources, old habits or an outdated attitude. For success to be achieved, a sacrifice is often required. By pooling your best energies and resources into your goal, you can ensure that it has the opportunity to manifest. If you want to achieve anything in this life of lasting value, you will need to make sacrifices. What you put in, you will get out. It is comforting to know that if you make the sacrifices and do the work you can alter the course of your destiny.

Aquarius(January 21 -February 18):

Knight of Cups is the tarot’s messenger of love. This Knight can communicate his deepest feelings without fear of embarrassment. Everywhere he rides, love begins to flow. He represents all forms of love; romantic, passionate, platonic, etc. He can reintroduce a lonely person into a world of friends and can bring renewed passion to an intimacy barren relationship. This is because he doesn't let fear, embarrassment or shame keep him from opening his heart. He reminds those that believe they are alone that they are connected, valuable, loved and accepted. The Knight of Cups appears when it's time to be emotionally courageous. Do you have a hard time expressing your feelings, even to the people you are closest to? Are you too shy or too scared to open yourself up to connecting with others?

Pisces(February 19 - March 20):

The Tower is the one card you really need to brace yourself for. It represents chaos and destruction. It is a card of sudden upheaval and unexpected change. This change usually is scary, life changing and often unavoidable. You don't know how you will survive, but somehow you will and later you will realise that while it was a tremendous and difficult thing to go through and you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy, it has made you into the person you are. One positive aspect of The Tower is that the destruction it brings is usually directed at something that was built on a false belief and foundation or unrealistic goals and dreams. Also The Tower is always followed by renewable and creation.
