8 cups
While each zodiac sign draws its own tarot card, we also drew a card describing the overall energy affecting the collective. And for this week, that card is a sign that major shifts in your relationships are happening because it just happens to be 8 of Cups. This means that you are being called to separate yourself from a disappointing situation or unsatisfactory relationship in your life. The 8 of Cups recognizes that this split will be painful, especially since you put so much time and energy into it. This could even be one of the reasons why you haven’t moved on yet. Instead of focusing on what the situation could have been or hoping things will change, accept it for what it is. Remember that leaving will hurt you temporarily, but staying can hurt you more in the long run.
If you are looking for answers regarding your past, present and future, your weekly Tarot horoscope has you covered. Here’s what the universe wants you to know about your current situation, according to your zodiac sign:

King of Cups

Receiving this card is a reminder to tap into your emotional maturity while dealing with a curveball life that recently came your way. Your initial instinct may have been to suppress any emotions you had about this situation. Conversely, you could have given your emotions the upper hand. This card urges you to use your heart *and* your head as you navigate this personal challenge.

10 of wands
Has it felt like you’ve carried the weight of the world? The Wands 10 recognizes a tremendous burden you have carried. You may have taken on too much to achieve your goals, and now it’s essential that you ask for help or scale back on what you’ve committed yourself to. This can be a tough pill to swallow as there are issues with pride and unwillingness to delegate in the game. However, you have reached a point where your ability to achieve your goal is compromised. You deserve to enjoy life, so ask for that helping hand this week.

temperance
Temperance is a card of balance and moderation. Receiving the Temperance card means maintaining a more ‘go-with-the-flow’ attitude, practicing patience and adaptability as best you can. Perhaps you resisted a change in your life or let a stressful situation take over. If so, change your approach this week. Let things slide away from you instead of meeting them with resistance. By finding your inner balance, you set yourself up to find your outer balance again.
