Monday's tarot card for Taurus: Two of Swords
Your daily tarot reading is the Two of Swords, a card that symbolizes the balance of conflict, Taurus. You could be acting as a mediator between two people, attempting to be a peacemaker.
On the flip side, another manifestation is internal conflict. You may be trying to make sense of two different desires or choices. At the moment, you may be questioning whether you can have both. The truth is, this may not be possible; they may conflict with each other. The Two of Swords encourages you to lead with careful decision-making. The answer may be plainer than you realize.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Monday's tarot card for Gemini: Eight of Cups, reversed
The Eight of Cups, reversed, is an interesting reading, Gemini. As your daily tarot card, it signals an inner discontentment. This could feel confusing because everything could seem fine on the outside. You may have all of the stability and the comfort you wanted.
You can redirect your attention inward. External things almost never translate into internal happiness, as is often assumed. Nothing is wrong with you. But instead of looking outside, cultivate joy within your heart.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Monday's tarot card for Cancer: Seven of Wands, reversed
Do you feel like life has beaten you down, Cancer? Your daily tarot this Monday is the Seven of Wands, reversed. This card paints a picture of you having been working through challenges. Life has given you its fair share of trials, and it doesn’t seem to be over just yet.
At this point, your exhaustion may not be the circumstances themselves, but withstanding them when you are already feeling weary. The truth is, you may be feeling tired of having to be strong, rightly so. The direction is to gauge where rest is possible and choose which battles are worth your energy. Take a break, even if it is just a nap.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Monday's tarot card for Leo: Page of Cups
The Page of Cups is a beautiful reading to receive in a reading, Leo. Your daily tarot card is about childlike wonder and tuning into your emotional, creative side. You may look at things in your life with fresh eyes and a greater level of curiosity than you ever had before.
The advice is to let yourself be introspective. Ask the questions and let yourself wander. It isn’t so much about the answers as it is about the process. There is also no single correct way of doing this; just do what feels best! Scrapbooking, writing a letter, looking back on old photos, journalling, or something else.

Monday's tarot card for Virgo: King of Wands
The King of Wands brings fiery energy to your earth sign, Virgo. The King of Wands is an authoritative leader, driven by passion. These elements complement your personality beautifully, Virgo. Your analytical, thoughtful qualities are matched by action-oriented, ambitious energy.
This tarot card enables you to do the things you’ve been planning to. It encourages you to put those projects you’re visualizing to life. Take the initiative and lead. It won’t be perfect at first, but maybe that’s the whole point: let your goal be to make it exist before you make it great.

Monday's tarot card for Libra: Six of Cups, reversed
Memories can sometimes feel sweeter than the present or perceived future, Libra. In your dreams, that may be where you go; right back to nostalgia. However, the Six of Cups, reversed, suggests you’re no longer getting the same comfort from memories. The reason may be that the past is no longer sufficient for you. You’re hungry for more.
This is a good thing, Libra. This can push you to build a strong, firm, beautiful vision for the future. The truth is, you have so much more to give than what you have already lived. The past serves a purpose, but this tarot card reminds you to stay grounded and present and to work diligently with hope.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Monday's tarot card for Scorpio: Knight of Cups, reversed
Your feelings can be a guide, Scorpio, but when they get too overwhelming, they can really just cloud your judgment. The Knight of Cups tarot symbolizes deep emotion, which you know well. But in the reversed position, it represents emotional instability.
You may be processing through an emotion-first lens, and it's making things unpredictable and unsteady. However, the problem isn’t emotion itself. The purpose is to draw your attention to any unrealistic ideals or uncommunicated expectations that are causing you problems.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Monday's tarot card for Sagittarius: Five of Wands, reversed
Good news, Sagittarius. This Monday, the tone is finally picking up. Your daily tarot card, the Five of Wands, reversed, symbolizes that conflicts are coming to an end.
The Five of Wands is about tension and clashing. In the reversed position, though, it means the light at the end of the tunnel is appearing. Work with this, Sagittarius. Seek to be a peacemaker and avoid problems in ways you can control.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Monday's tarot card for Capricorn: King of Cups, reversed
The King of Cups, reversed, means you’re shifting your attention inward, Capricorn. You are digging deep into your emotional side and possibly even your subconscious mind.
The King of Cups is a calm authority; he knows and wants self-restraint. However, in the reversed position, you might be particularly sensitive to being agitated, anxious, or emotionally bothered. You might fear that you will lose your cool with someone. The resolution may be self-compassion, sitting with your emotions, and digging deep to understand why they are coming up.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Monday's tarot card for Aquarius: Strength
Your daily tarot card, Strength, is an extremely reassuring message to receive, Aquarius. You get the ultimate assurance that you have everything you need and that you are all that you need. It provides an answer to all the self-doubt bubbling in your head, saying something like: “Uneasy thoughts, you can rest. Everything actually will be OK.”
Strength encourages you to face what comes your way. And you do so best when you face it head-on; there is no need to avoid. Don't hold any negative thoughts accountable. Instead of letting them run free, turn them into something more constructive.

Monday's tarot card for Pisces: The Fool
A new cycle is starting, Pisces. Your daily tarot card, The Fool, opens the door to new experiences and opportunities. The beautiful challenge is that with this come decisions.
The advice of your reading is to let your intuition guide you and not to overthink it. Your decisions have value, but this isn’t meant to paralyze you. The goal is to be thoughtful without being overwhelmed by fear of making the wrong choice.
