Do you have a hard time expressing your feelings, even to the people you are closest to?

Are you too shy, or too scared to open yourself up to connecting with others? When did you last feel passionate or romantic?

The Knight of Cups is so hot! He is completely confident with his feelings and what is more attractive than confidence? He gazes electrically with deep blue eyes, and effortlessly expresses what he desires honestly. He wears the wings of Hermes, the messenger god on his helm and his feet. Fish decorate his tunic. This symbolizes his ability to communicate clearly about deep unconscious feelings that can be hard to put into words. His main message is that communication about feelings heals isolation and confusion. The more difficult the subject, the more healing to be gained from talking about it. However, you must be brave enough to open your heart to others.

You might wonder why you would need to be brave to express love. The answer is that it can be very scary! Even people who have been together for years, can find it difficult to express affection and intimacy. This is especially true if the heart has been wounded by a deep betrayal or loss in the past. The Knight appears to tell us that retreating further from others will never heal the heart. The heart mends when it is brave and open, allowing new experiences to take the place of past hurts.

The Knight of Cups inspires you to be courageous, and express love, romance, affection, and passion.

The Knight of Cups is eternally optimistic that the future will be brighter than times before. He knows that the heart is not as fragile as it pretends to be. It can heal amazingly but must be open to do so. Bring some passion and excitement back into your life. Share, flirt, take a risk, make new friends, but most important open up! Have confidence in your worth and stop being self-conscious. You are more lovable than you think! You don’t need to be in an intimate relationship to begin healing your heart. The first step is to be brave enough to open it.

This card can also signify an invitation to explore your own emotional landscape, encouraging self-reflection and growth. When the Knight of Cups appears in a reading, it's a call to embrace the richness of your emotions and to channel your creative passions into fulfilling endeavors. By listening to your heart and following its guidance, you'll find yourself on a path towards emotional fulfillment and personal growth. Open yourself to the possibilities that love and connection bring, and allow the Knight of Cups to guide you through your emotional journey.

Knight of Cups in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Knight of Cups signifies intense attraction. The pheromones swirling in the air around him can cause you to forego all common sense. Try to remain grounded amid the romantic messages, electric glances, and sexual chemistry. Time will tell if the relationship is viable. This Knight quickly loses interest with a lover who is too starstruck.

Long Term Partnership

For a long-term relationship, the Knight of Cups can represent that rare love, where passion and attraction remain strong even after many years with one another. You probably played your cards expertly to keep this Knight engaged! This is likely a great love for the ages.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, the appearance of the Knight of Cups could foretell exciting romantic possibilities. You might also develop a crush on someone new.

Two of Swords in Love | Daily Tarot Card Meanings for Relationships

“Two of Swords: The Dance of Balance and Decision”

The Two of Swords embodies the themes of balance, decision-making, and introspection. As you navigate the complex world of relationships, this card invites you to examine your thoughts, emotions, and desires carefully. By cultivating self-awareness and striving for equilibrium, you can forge deeper connections with yourself and others.

Two of Swords in a Love Reading New Relationship:

The Two of Swords often represents a love interest who is still in a state of “in-between.” They may be transitioning out of a past relationship or could be in the process of a personal transformation. Be patient, manage expectations, and move slowly. You may have to accept where this person is at in their life now, instead of falling in love with their future possibilities.

In this phase, the Two of Swords encourages you to maintain open communication and emotional honesty with your love interest. By showing empathy and understanding, you can support them through their transition, fostering a bond built on trust and compassion. Remember to be present and mindful, allowing the relationship to develop naturally and organically.

Long Term Partnership:

The Two of Swords can signify a long-standing issue that remains unresolved. Perhaps an honest conversation can result in a compromise. It’s time to bring clarity to amorphous issues. The Two of Swords can also symbolize a truce. You may be in the process of making peace with your partner, or their position.

In established relationships, the Two of Swords advises you to address any lingering concerns or conflicts with patience and diplomacy. Be open to your partner's perspective and actively listen to their needs, working together to find common ground. This card also serves as a reminder that balance is key – ensure you both have the space to grow as individuals and as a couple.

Seeking Romance:

If you are single, you are likely undergoing a process of personal transformation that is still incomplete. Although you feel in limbo now, you will soon find the closure you seek. Slow and steady steps are needed now. Sometimes the Two of Swords is also associated with friendship. Socializing with friends may indirectly place you in the path of a potential admirer.

For singles, the Two of Swords suggests that taking the time to focus on self-reflection and personal growth will ultimately benefit your love life. Embrace this period of transformation, and trust that the right relationship will manifest when the time is right. In the meantime, foster connections with friends and engage in social activities, as these experiences may lead to new romantic opportunities.

The Wheel of Fortune (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

"Peace with unpredictability." 

The Wheel of Fortune (Upright) | Tarot Card

The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes unpredictable events, both considered fortunate and unfortunate.

These are the events that occur with seeming randomness. They leave you feeling as if you have no control over them. The figures on the turning wheel illustrate that life moves in cycles where it brings periods where you might feel on top of the world, and other times when you feel as if you’ve hit rock bottom. Chaotic and unplanned things do occur in life. The rim of the wheel represents the external world with all its chaotic unpredictability. [1] The center of the wheel represents your center, the seat of your best self. If you can find you way home to your center, then the random things that occur in the world outside of your control will not feel as disturbing.

The Wheel of Fortune also serves as a reminder that life is a constant flow of ups and downs, and it is essential to embrace change with an open mind and heart. Understanding and accepting the cyclical nature of life can help you navigate these twists and turns with grace and resilience.

When faced with life's unpredictable events, the Wheel of Fortune encourages you to remain grounded and to tap into your inner wisdom. By cultivating a strong sense of self-awareness and staying true to your core values, you can weather the storms of fortune and maintain a sense of inner peace, regardless of external circumstances.

Daily Tarot Wisdom | Wheel of Fortune (Upright) | Elliot Oracle

The Wheel of Fortune (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

Are you stuck at the rim of the wheel, rising or falling with each unexpected event in your life that happens?

Can you take unexpected events in stride, or are you rigid and inflexible? Do you panic when something doesn't go exactly according to plan?

In the book, "Following Your Path," Alexandra Collins Dickerman perceived the Wheel of Fortune as a metaphor for the changeable external world.[2] If you wrap up your whole identity and self-worth with what everybody “out there" thinks at the rim of the wheel, then you will be doomed to emotionally rise and fall with each acceptance or rejection you receive. However, if you can reconnect with your center (symbolized by the hub of the wheel), you can remain centered, without taking the chaotic ups and downs of life personally. When you operate from your center life no longer feels random, and you can control the direction of the wheel of your life.[3]

When the Wheel of Fortune appears, it is time to get off of the emotional roller coaster and detach from external dramas.

Staying fixed at the edge of the wheel can get emotionally exhausting rather quickly. The truth is we don't have complete control of every life event that occurs. Sometimes #*%@ happens! Other people have free will and can act unpredictably. Good things can happen to awful people, and terrible things can happen to good people. Some people win the lottery without having done anything to deserve it. Others get hurt, through no fault of their own. In life, events rarely go “exactly” according to plan. These occurrences are outside of our control. However, we do have the ability to control how we respond to life. We each can choose to let our best-self handle the situation, or the part of ourselves where fear resides.

The Wheel of Fortune appears when it’s time to take random things in stride. Good or bad. Fair or unfair. Don’t take random events in life personally. All you have control over is you and your chosen response. Choose to respond with excellence. Reclaim your connection with your wise center. Sit peacefully within the eye of the storm. View your current situation with the higher awareness that resides within you. If you are centered, you will operate from a place of great personal power. The Wheel of Fortune foretells good luck for those who find their way back to their center.

Wheel of Fortune in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

This connection is both unpredictable and exciting. This person may express fervent passion one day, only to ghost you the next. Although they may behave inconsistently, in time you will begin to see patterns. For a new relationship this card advises you to stay grounded. Gather more information before allowing your hopes to rise too high.

Long Term Partnership

The Wheel of Fortune can symbolize a relationship that feels consistently changeable. Although the variability of the partnership may have shocked you in the past; it is now clear that it follows a consistent pattern. There is no need to guess what is likely to happen in the future with this relationship. All the answers you seek can be found in the cycles of the past.

Seeking Romance

If you are single, you may be feeling exhausted with the up and down yo-yo that is your love life. However, the Wheel of Fortune can appear when a change in luck is at hand. Take chances. Be less predictable. Break the old cycle that’s been keeping you stuck. The Wheel of Fortune rewards change. It’s time to find your center and flip the script.

Is it time to stretch yourself, past your comfort zones, and fearlessly toward fulfilling work?

Do you truly appreciate the work that you do? What skills are you honing each day, to improve your life?

The craftsman on the card busily inscribes his Pentacles with a hammer and chisel. He loves his work. It gives him a channel to focus all his creative energy. A pathway connects his workshop to the little village in the distance. This symbolizes that his work connects him with others. To the townspeople he is not just "the Craftsman." He is also the master of eight apprentices, the beloved teacher at the monastery, and has gained the town's affection for his compassion and kindness. The craftsman is also very funny; bringing laughter to the villagers, with his dry wit and humor. The craftsman doesn't just do work for the village to "make money." Each day he uses work as a vehicle, to improve his community, connect with others, and better himself.

Being fully engaged with the work that you do is very empowering. It transforms your energy from being passive and reactive, to confident and proactive. Your job is not just a means to making money. The craft you are mastering connects you with the society and gives you a platform to improve it. This allows you to put your own unique stamp on the world, and to change the energy of the world you live in. How are you improving your world with the work you do? Are you making it a better place?

Today, enthusiastically take up the tasks in front of you, and give one-hundred and ten percent.

Whether it's your job or a personal project, strive to do it well and achieve your goals. Remember, work isn't just "work." It's your unique contribution to the world. When you value your work, others will too. If your current work feels limiting, it might be time to seek out a role that utilizes your best attributes and talents. Instead of resenting the job at hand, change the energy by placing yourself in a new position that offers more learning and fulfillment. You have control over how you employ your skill set and focus your energy.

Don't merely "endure" work. Embrace it and appreciate how it connects you with others, contributing to a better society. Recognize the impact of your efforts on those around you, and find satisfaction in knowing that you're making a difference. By adopting this mindset, you'll not only enhance your own sense of fulfillment but also inspire others to do the same.

Today, let the Eight of Pentacles guide you to enthusiastically take up the tasks in front of you and give your all. Value the work that you do, and others will too. Appreciate its significance in connecting you with others and contributing to a better world. By doing so, you'll unlock your full potential and create a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life.

Eight of Pentacles in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

Your love interest will likely prioritize their career goals ahead of love and romance. This isn’t necessarily a reflection of their feelings for you. This individual will be naturally self-motivated and driven to succeed. Their heart is in their work. This card can also signify an attraction to someone in the workplace.

Long Term Partnership

You and your partner are not afraid of hard work. This card can signify a period where a long-term investment must be made to produce the results you are both looking for. Sometimes, this card can also signify the possibility of working together professionally. If you and your partner have a business idea, this card will encourage you to move forward with it.

If you are loving your life and career, romance has a much better chance of finding you.

The Magician (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

 “Tap into what is limitless within you.” Each of us is a Magician, weaving the tapestry of our lives with the power of our thoughts.

Our predominant thoughts are the magic spells that produce the life we are experiencing. All the situations you see in front of you can be changed, but first you must change where your mind is fixated. The Magician is in complete control of his environment. He represents the power of your mind's focus, which creates the reality you are living in. When the Magician tarot card appears, it is a reminder of the incredible potential within each of us to manifest our dreams and desires. Consider how you can apply its lessons to your own life. What thoughts have you been holding onto that may be limiting your potential? What changes can you make to shift your focus and better align with your goals? Always remember that you have the power to shape your reality. Embrace the Magician's energy, and let it guide you towards a life of unlimited possibilities.

Do you feel in control of your thoughts or do they run uncontrollably on automatic?

What predominate thoughts do you harbor during the day? Are your thoughts generally positive or negative? The Magician stands before his altar. Before him are four objects: a cup, a pentacle, a sword and a wand. Each represent the different elements of his external environment: his emotional life, monetary life, predominate thoughts and his ambitions. The Magician has the power to move the objects on the altar any way he chooses. This symbolizes your ability to affect your external environment by choosing to focus your thoughts and intentions. The Magician’s white wand is raised high, channeling his best self. When you are channeling your best self, you can also manifest marvelous things, as if by magic.

The best self is the part of you that feels limitless. When your mind is attuned to your best self you will notice that you feel energized, motivated and confident. You feel fearless and believe in your own talents and abilities. Unfortunately, we live in a society that borages us with images of how we really don't measure up. This affects our unconscious mind, which will run on autopilot until it is challenged. Once self-doubt takes the megaphone, your best self can feel all but drowned out. If your predominant thoughts are: "I'm too fat." "I'm not good enough." "I can't do this." "I don't know how to make this work." "Guess that just life." "I'm a fraud." "I know I won't succeed at this anyway."..........then you are not hearing your best self.

To reconnect with you best-self, remember a time in your life when you felt powerful and limitless. Remember when you felt at your best. Recall when you stood up and did the difficult thing to do. Hold that powerful and joyful feeling. That person in your memory is still you. No matter what’s transpired, this is your true essence. Remember yourself and look at your situation through that person’s eyes.

When the Magician appears in your tarot reading, it's a powerful reminder to harness your inner power and take control of your thoughts.

You must take responsibility for where you allow your mind to dwell. It's totally controlling your reality! Challenge negative thoughts instead of letting them run on autopilot. Set a timer to go off at two-hour intervals today. When the alarm goes off pay attention to what your thoughts are randomly focused on. If your focus is on the negative, place it instead on something that makes you feel good. You can make your life so different, if you just change your mind to do so. By regularly checking in with yourself and adjusting your mindset, you can tap into the transformative power of the Magician. Embrace this opportunity to shape your own reality through positive thinking and watch as your life blossoms in new and exciting ways. Remember, with the Magician as your guide, the potential for change is always within your grasp. So don't hesitate to harness this energy in your daily tarot reading and make a lasting impact on your journey towards happiness and fulfillment.

The Magician in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Magician’s interest can be piqued by displaying your knowledge, passions, and authentic interests. He loves all sorts of subjects and appreciates a sharp wit. Even if he does not share the same pursuits, he will be intrigued by learning something new. The Magician seeks an intellectually curious partner who is interested in his mind.

Long Term Partnership

Communication is all important when the Magician appears. Make time to talk to one another, not just about problems or needed improvements, but more importantly, the common interests you share and enjoy. Good communication requires that you also be a good listener. Both partners succeed when they feel their ideas are truly heard and respected.

Seeking Romance

Place yourself in surroundings where you can engage in intellectual discourse or share in common interests with others. Love will likely manifest where your mind and heart meet. Gravitate toward physical or online spaces where people of like mind gather.

Ace of Cups (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day

“Renewal.” 

Ace of Cups (Upright) | Tarot Card

The Ace of Cups represents love, renewal, and rebirth.

This card reminds you that love surrounds you from all directions. North, South, East, West, ahead of you, behind you, within, without, in what you can perceive, and in mysteries too vast to comprehend. If you are looking for inner peace, then love is what you need to reconnect with. All religions talk about this love. Love is everywhere...and yet sometimes it's so tricky to perceive. All the poets, artists, and singers try to capture it. Love permeates everything, and yet sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees.

YouTube video for the Ace of Cups (Upright) | Tarot Card of the Day by Elliot Oracle

When is the last time you gave yourself over to feeling overwhelming love?

Has your cup felt like it's running on empty? Were you taught that "true love" only exists after you find the right person, blinding you to love's true immensity?

A heavenly dove flies down from above, bringing a message of peace and hope. The dove has been associated with love and the realm of Spirit in countless traditions. To the ancient Greeks the dove was a symbol of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty. For the Christians it embodies God's messenger, the Holy Spirit. The dove represents the realm of the spiritual, and the supernatural. An angelic hand offers the large cup overflowing with divine love. It streams into a pond of lotus flowers, which are symbols for enlightenment. Love "en-lightens." This means it literally lightens our burdens, from within. The "W" on the cup could symbolize the cardinal direction West. The West is the realm of the element of water. It is also the direction the sun sets in. This reminds you that every sorrowful ending, is always followed by a joyful new beginning.

The dove carries the equal armed cross, a symbol of the four cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West. This reminds us that love is everywhere. It's in every culture, every country and every place that you can imagine. The cross also creates an "X." "Every child knows that X marks the spot" for hidden treasure. The treasure in this case is your center, your Spirit, and your unique essence. A divine cup of unconditional love is always being offered to you, even if you feel so overcome with troubles that it's hard to perceive.

The Ace of Cups is appearing to encourage you to renew your love for yourself and your experiences.

All aces in the tarot symbolize new beginnings. If you find yourself unhappy with the current conditions you are experiencing, it could be because you forgot to let love be the answer. It's time to open yourself to love. You absolutely deserve it. Love, peace and joy is your natural state. It's in your core and at your center. You can return to this center, especially during sorrows and difficulties. Love is the voice within that gives you the reassurance that, "Everything will be fine, because you are forever, not this particular situation." Try addressing your current problems by releasing it to love. Transcend your tightness and resistance. Watch how easily tension resolves when you smile at your challenges and love yourself enough to know that you will prevail through transcendence. This release of tension occurs because you are no longer fighting against your true nature.

Turn to love as the solution, and watch miracles begin to happen.

Ace of Cups in a Love ReadingNew Relationship

The Ace of Cups represents an auspicious start to any new partnership. A rebirth of romance is flowing through your life. Enjoy the present excitement, for the future is full of possibility. A word of caution, however. You are still experiencing the beginning. Keep your expectations in check as you enjoy this happy time. Be present with the burgeoning love that is developing.

Long Term Partnership

The Ace of Cups symbolizes a positive new beginning in an existing relationship. The bonds of affection shared between you both are being renewed. This is an ideal time to reaffirm your commitment to one another. This card can also signify a birth, rebirth, or exciting new chapter in your life together. The Ace of Cups signifies a partnership based in true love.  

Seeking Romance

No matter what happened in the past, the Ace of Cups signifies that you are starting over. Your present rebirth is clearing away past unhappiness. Place yourself in new and supportive environments that activate your joy. Open yourself to new connections. Dare to be excited for all the happiness that still awaits you. Your true love will arrive at the right time. Trust it!

Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, causing you to feel uncomfortable with confronting an area of your life?

Do you feel your personal power has been depleted somehow? Are you avoiding something that you know will make things better if you just get the ball rolling?

A mighty hand grasps the flashing sword. Sparks crackle from its blade. The Sword represents your vitality, life force and personal power. The sword is crowned. This symbolizes that when you grasp your power, you become fit to rule your life. You are the King or Queen of your own world, vested with the divine authority to make it as successful as you dare. The mountains symbolize the great heights you will ascend to, if you decide to act.

An olive branch dangles from the left side of the crown. This symbolizes that your life will feel more at peace, when you act. This seems counterintuitive to our fears which tell us to avoid things that might create stress. However, inner turmoil comes from the avoidance of confrontation, not from taking responsibility.

A palm branch graces the right side of the crown. Palm trees are primordial, tough, and hearty. They can endure desert-like heat, and torrential hurricanes. The palm branch symbolizes your resilience. You can endure much more than you may be giving yourself credit for.

Today, a new beginning is at hand.

Don't dwell on yesterday, last year, or what might lie ahead. Your personal power is crackling in the present, right now. Where will you send that energy? Channel the energy to the place in your mind where your power resides. Act on something that you have been avoiding. This will restore confidence in your mind and its ability to make better decisions.

The Ace of Swords is all about seizing the power that lies within and embracing a fresh start. The present moment is where your personal power resides, so it's time to let go of past regrets and future worries. Direct your energy towards the area of your life where you feel most empowered. Take action towards something you've been putting off to rekindle your self-confidence and trust in your decision-making abilities. Don't hesitate to wield the sword of your personal power to cut through any doubts or obstacles that stand in your way.
