Wednesday's tarot card for Libra: The Fool, reversed
Beginnings are hard, no matter how you slice it. On Wednesday, the Fool tarot card is asking you to look at how you approach a fresh start. Are you the type of person who rushes into things, or do you just ignore advice when you're in the middle of something you want to make work?

Not everything is as it appears, Capricorn. Sometimes your ex's relationship can look like it's the perfect match, and you feel a little jealous.

Wednesday's tarot card for Pisces: Two of Swords
Decisions are sometimes super easy to make. You just know what you want, and it happens in a snap. That might not be the case on a particular matter this Wednesday.
You may have one thing that you really need to think over for a little while. That indecision is reflected in the Two of Swords tarot card, which symbolizes confusion, mulling over an idea without really knowing what you want. Give yourself permission to do that without being hard on yourself in the process.
