Thursday’s tarot card for Aries: The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man is about waiting, but the truth is you don’t have to hold off on the things you want anymore. You are done waiting for life to happen, Aries.
You can tell when it’s time for you to release and let others follow their path, right? Do the same for yourself on Thursday.

Thursday’s tarot card for Taurus: The Hermit
Sometimes you focus a little too much on the physical things life has to offer. You love to enjoy nice things, and there is no shame in that, Taurus.
But on September 17, the Hermit tarot card is saying it’s now time to turn to the internal. Look at your spiritual side of life. Take a moment to withdraw and really reflect on how beautiful life is just because.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Thursday’s tarot card for Gemini: Six of Wands
The Six of Wands is about a moment that feels like you’re on the right path. On September 17, you can just tell when something is right, Gemini.
You don’t really need a reason, either. The door opened, and the path became available to you. Something in your instinct says that this is where you’re meant to go, and you’re more than happy to follow the universe’s lead.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Thursday’s tarot card for Cancer: Eight of Cups, reversed
It’s really hard to stay in a job you need but no longer love. The back-and-forth thinking that you go through on September 17 might be exhausting because you don’t want to just up and quit without a backup plan.
You prefer security over taking risks, and that’s super smart and totally OK. Today, consider making a short list of the benefits so you can focus on the good stuff. Then, work on finding a new position that you feel is better for you.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Thursday’s tarot card for Leo: Eight of Swords
The more stuck you feel, the harder it can be to see the way out. It’s not easy to overcome feelings of fear or anxiety, especially since they can blind you to your options.
Since the Eight of Swords represents self-imposed restrictions, take a second to reframe your situation on Thursday. Don’t worry, Leo. You’re almost there. Eight in tarot often means a process that happens with time, so be patient with yourself. It’s coming.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Thursday’s tarot card for Virgo: King of Swords, reversed
People can argue their point in a way that’s so compelling that even you start to wonder if you’re wrong. On September 17, don’t allow someone else to cause you to question your logic.
The King of Swords, reversed, signals manipulation. If you are discussing something and someone makes you feel unsure, ask yourself why. They may be helping you see how to become stronger when under pressure. You’ve got this.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Thursday’s tarot card for Libra: Temperance
Libra, you are so much stronger than you realize when pressure kicks in. The Temperance tarot card is about restraint and living life within your means. You can apply for reserved living in any area that you want on September 17.
If you want to stop a particular habit or try doing something you know isn’t healthy, Thursday is the day to give it a try. You might be surprised by how much easier it is for you when you approach it in baby steps.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Thursday’s tarot card for Scorpio: The Chariot
You are at this really pivotal place in your life, Scorpio. You could quit, but you also could not. The Chariot is a sign of hard-earned victory, which is a pretty good sign of which direction you should take on September 17.
You already knew this journey would be hard. Now that you’re in the thick of it, you’re probably questioning all of your life choices. That’s normal. Don’t give up on yourself.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Thursday’s tarot card for Sagittarius: Queen of Wands, reversed
According to the reversed Queen of Wands, there are some things you’re still working on healing from emotionally. It’s not easy when you feel pangs of pain about decisions you made in your past.
On September 17, you face all the fears you’ve refused to acknowledge because you’re done letting memories hold you back from the future you know you deserve.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Thursday’s tarot card for Capricorn: Four of Swords
You deserve to rest a little bit, Capricorn. Your tarot card, the Four of Swords, is about taking a break. Try not to talk yourself out of it on September 17.
You can find so many other things to do, but trust that taking a few hours just for yourself will make you so much more effective later. The world won’t come crashing down without you!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Thursday’s tarot card for Aquarius: Eight of Wands, reversed
Having a situation put on hold can feel so frustrating, Aquarius. But the Eight of Wands, reversed, is about stalling, and you might have to wait a little longer than you planned.
Even though it doesn’t feel like it right now, you can use the situation to your advantage. You can do other projects or turn your attention to a problem and solve it. Your position actually strengthens when you use the time that you get due to a problem in another area of your life.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Thursday’s tarot card for Pisces: Three of Cups
You didn’t really need an excuse to spend more time with your friends, but the Three of Cups is a great signal to schedule a get-together just to have fun and laugh.
You don’t need to have anything special planned out. Wanting to be together is a good enough reason on Thursday.
