Tarot card: Ace of Swords, reversed
It's good to ask questions, Aries. The Ace of Swords, reversed, often reflects a period of confusion and uncertainty. When you're uncertain about the status of a relationship or where a situation is going, don't assume anything. Instead, show your curious nature and ask smart questions, showing your intentions and desire to explore the other person's thinking.
Don't be afraid to open up, even if it means you are vulnerable. Everyone feels emotionally frail at times. It's part of the human experience, and you are part of it.

Tarot card: Strength
The Strength tarot card indicates your need to realize your power. You have to rebuild strength after a setback. A lot happens when you experience disappointment. Your ego gets bruised. You start to wonder what you could have done differently or if you were ever meant to have what you wanted.
You may think other people bounce back easier than you do, but they don't always. Regaining traction is a process that takes time, and you may need to explore what that means for you. Don't add insult to injury, though. If you need longer than others, let it be.

Tarot card: Three of Cups, reversed
The color green looks great on you but it's not the best shade for relationships. The Three of Cups, reversed is a sign of jealousy and you may think someone else has a better connection with your partner than you do.
You might be prone to think that other people are happier than you are and it cause you to feel even worse. Stop the negative self-talk and focus on your blessings. It's best to look at the big picture and realize that others wish they were you, too.

Tarot card: The Chariot
You must work hard for what you want, and the Chariot encourages you to remain steadfast and committed to your goals. You may go through points where you want to quit and give up. You may feel like the work is too hard.

Tarot card: Three of Swords
You have to pick yourself first. When you sense a person is disloyal, you must choose yourself above and beyond the relationship. It will strike at the core of your heart.
You will feel the sting of a breakup if you notice that cheating or infidelity has taken place. They hurt themselves as well, for hurting you, and they may have harmed another person. Love is very complex when people blur the lines of faithfulness, so you need to do what's best for you.

Tarot card: The Emperor
Love is not control. Sometimes you want to protect your friends. You want them to understand that your intentions are good when you give advice. But, people don't always view it that way; they sense control issues, and you being overly opinionated
They want to do what they want to do without you judging them, and even if you're not, it may still be met with disdain. So, keep opinions to yourself and allow time to teach the lessons you hoped they wouldn't have to learn through hurt or sorrow.
