Zodiacs Doubting Themselves This Spring (+ Tarot Advice For Surging Their Confidence)

Our tarot reader has put together advice for each Zodiac on how they can best shed self-doubt, and find the confidence they can use to live their best lives!

Aries

Your Card: 2 of Wands.

It’s natural, when facing the unknown of the future, to harbor some self-doubt, even when you’re aware that it’s a world filled with possibility. When that self-doubt grows and becomes so consuming it starts to impact your decisions, you should remind yourself that you’ve faced this before, Aries. Prepare yourself to combat your doubts by remembering the resilience that you’ve already demonstrated in life, and reminding yourself of the new experiences that await you.  

Taurus

Your Card: Knight of Cups.

The best way for you to shed your feelings of self-doubt is to engage with your creative side, Taurus. If you’re feeling like those doubts, and an overzealous inner critic, are preventing you from being creative, see if you can shake things up a bit. Instead of using your favorite medium, try something new. Follow your feelings and the enjoyment of creation instead of being product-focused. Allow yourself to fall in love with the feelings of inspiration all over again.  

Gemini

Your Card: 8 of Cups.

Change can be both exhilarating and terrifying. The best way for you to shed your self-doubt is to embrace what change can bring you. In order for you to break free of your self-doubt, you’ll need to remind yourself of the power you have, Gemini. When we’re steeping inside a toxic situation like a bitter tea, it can be difficult to see the choices we have to free ourselves. A big step out of the toxicity will leave you feeling more confident.

Cancer

Your Card: Page of Pentacles.

It’s time for you to be more practical in your approach, Cancer. It may feel counterintuitive to deal with feelings of self-doubt by creating a structured plan, but it’s also likely to help you realize how much you can do. You won’t feel as overwhelmingly helpless once you’ve outlined how forward progress is possible, and the more you evaluate the resources you have on hand and your own skills, the better you’ll feel about things.

Leo

Your Card: 6 of Swords.

What you need to do it move away from self-doubt and towards confidence is more like a marathon than a sprint, Leo. It’ll be a long-term commitment to addressing and redirecting negative thoughts, interrogating self-damaging narratives, and evaluating your self-talk to make progress. Be sure to not rush yourself along this path, and allow your skills to build over time. You are worth this work, and the confidence and drive that you’ll gain from the experience will be life-altering. 

Virgo

Your Card: 9 of Pentacles.

You’ve been practical and have managed to build a life of stability, maybe even comfort. But it doesn’t feel like enough, Virgo, even though you were sure you’d feel less doubtful once you achieved a sense of self-sufficiency. It’s time to reevaluate how you are judging yourself. There are times when the drive to be independent and self-sufficient can leave us feeling isolated – not just from others but from the vulnerable parts of ourselves. To shed self-doubt won’t just take independence, it will also take a sense of your inner emotional abundance.

Libra 

Your Card: 9 of Wands.

You’ve really been going through some things, and while it feels like the struggle is never-ending, you’re actually making progress, Libra. You may feel like you’re on heightened alert, due to the fact you’ve been under a lot of stress, and that can be pretty overwhelming. But you’re also becoming stronger, understanding what causes are worth your time and energy, and finding inspiration to bring all of your energy to the field again and again. You’re building resilience and inner strength, and these traits will help you shed your self-doubt.

Scorpio

Your Card: 5 of Swords.

You may have won a battle, Scorpio, but you’re feeling like it’s at the cost of the war. Maybe, in the heat of a fight, you said something that caused someone you love a lot of pain or drove a wedge into a relationship. Or perhaps you’re in such inner turmoil that your inner critic won’t stop mentally lashing out at you. Know that you’re allowed to make mistakes. To move away from self-doubt will require you not only to empathize with the viewpoints of others – but also with your own perspective in your darkest times. Shedding self-doubt will mean giving yourself the forgiveness and grace that you would give to others.

Sagittarius

Your Card: 6 of Cups.

To move past your self-doubt will mean reckoning with your feelings about the past, Sagittarius. While enjoying memories by reliving past triumphs can help build confidence, it can also tear away our ability to live within the here and now. Don’t get so caught up in thoughts of the past that you allow it to dictate your present and your future. Instead, focus on bringing the resilience and strength that you learned into the present moment.

Capricorn

Your Card: Queen of Wands.

You’re a passionate person, Capricorn, and if you allow yourself to indulge in your passion and follow your inspiration, you will find it easier to shed the self-doubt that you carry. Your fears and doubts often fade in the bright light of your creative fire. It can be tricky to engage with your creative side with a head full of self-doubt, but be vigilant in diverting your focus from feelings of self-doubt by maintaining and working towards the vision of what you are creating.

Aquarius

Your Card: The Hermit.

The key to unlocking the hold that self-doubt has on your mind will require some time journeying within, Aquarius. As you take some time for yourself, quiet your mind, and focus on your inner voice. As you reflect on your journey, your talents, and your passions, you will find it easier to build up your confidence instead of tearing it down. The more you dive within, the more resilience and strength you will find.

Pisces

Your Card: King of Cups.

The key to shedding your self-doubt is in engaging your emotional intelligence, Pisces. There are few signs in the zodiac as perfectly suited to doing the emotional heavy lifting that this requires. Spend time evaluating the depths of your feelings. Try to find the source of your self-doubt, and take time to dismantle the negative narratives you experience along the way. Give yourself the same empathetic leadership and wisdom that you give to others. As you navigate your feelings, and work through your restricting beliefs, you’ll shed self-doubt and find confidence.
