It’s that time of year again to dance and shout and be proud… it’s Gay Pride! This edition of BELLA Tarotscopes will be based on (but not limited) to the LGBTQ+ community and all the colors of the rainbow. Each sign will have two celebrities that are within the community as a reference, and the theme for this reading will be advice on how to solve problems flawlessly for your sun and rising sign for May and June.

Aries

(LIL NAS X, ELTON JOHN)

Advice: Turn it on its head!

Produce fresh Ideas and alternative solutions and look at things from a different viewpoint. Turn your problem upside-down, back to front, inside-out, flip and flop it as many ways as you can think of. Is it worth it? Let me work it. Put that thing down, flip it, and reverse it!

Taurus

(LANCE BASS, SAM SMITH)

Advice: Take a lesson from nature.

Nature has provided man with the inspiration for many creative solutions throughout history. Nature is often able to deal with whatever is thrown at it, both natural and or man-made, so it provides an excellent template for solutions that werk!

Gemini

(LAVERN COX, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS)

Advice: Find a role model.

Imagine you could recruit anyone you like to tackle your problems or creative tasks? Who would that person be? Think of the perfect person for the job. And if you can’t find a role model, be a role model— and a super one at that!

Cancer

(COLTON HAYNES, JANE LYNCH)

Advice: Think like a child.

Children maintain a sense of fun and creativity every single day. Don’t forget to have a little fun throughout the day. Believe in anything and assume it will happen. Maybe jump on your bed or take out that coloring book and give your adult self a break. You can return to being fierce on Friday!

Leo

(DAN LEVY, CARA DELEVINGNE)

Advice: Make the impossible possible.

Tackle the idea first by questioning it. What makes this idea impossible? Try to identify the obstacle— who said this can’t be done? Why? After you’ve come to the conclusion, prove them wrong by showing them it is possible. And let’s be honest, Leo—you love to be seen!

Virgo

(TOM FORD, ANDREW RANNELLS)

Advice: Visualize the problem.

Virgo, we all know you love to fix things and make them better. Try drawing your problem on a piece of paper. You don’t have to be a talented artist to do this. Your sketch can be either a realistic or abstract representation of how you see the challenge before you. Virgos are the best for visions. I have one thing to say: You better work!

Libra

(MATT BOMER, GUS KENWORTHY)

Advice: Follow your instincts.

When tackling any creative problem, the tendency is to follow the tried and tested methods you’ve used in the past. You know that they work, so you can easily justify using them again. You live for a balanced life, Libras, so go balance the house down!

Scorpio

(RUPAUL, JODIE FOSTER)

Advice: Take a risk.

Creative inevitably requires the courage to take a risk. This is because a creative idea will automatically have an element of novelty about it. It will break with convention or challenge current thinking or paradigms. Scorpio, you are not afraid of the dark side and may even be a little dark yourself. (Can I get an “amen”?!)

Sagittarius

(RAVEN SYMONE, SARAH PAULSON)

Advice: Take a break.

Have you ever found yourself working hard to solve a crossword or some other kind of puzzle or problem, where no matter how hard you try to complete it, the last few solutions evade you? Then… having put that aside and coming back to it an hour or so later the answers leap out to you? You function on “go, go, go,” or being chill, there’s no in between for you, Sagittarius. Take the chill mode this time and go, go, go back to it after that cute little break you deserve.

Capricorn

(RICKY MARTIN, LEE DANIELS)

Advice: Adapt or combine.

Creative ideas don’t always have to involve cosmic leaps of innovation. Sometimes a new idea can emerge by adapting an old one. It’s always good to be flexible with ideas. Take what works from something else and combine it with your solution or idea and watch the magic unfold. You Capricorn cuties love to make it to the mountaintop just to shout, “I did it!” We hear you, gurl!

Aquarius

(ADAM LAMBERT, SARA GILBERT)

Advice: Start at the end.

Begin by writing your goals on a sticky note. Now break them down into smaller goals by working backwards and asking yourself, “What do I need to do to achieve this?” Write each of those answers on a sticky note as well. By the end you’ll feel like you’ve invented Post-it Notes like Romy and Michelle! And because you Aquarius people love to not be told what to do and go against the norm, starting at the end works best for you. Slay!

Pisces

(RUBY ROSE, ELLIOT PAGE)

Advice: Expand the problem—or shrink it.

Imagine that the challenge you face is 100 times bigger or smaller? How would you deal with it if this was the case? Do you need to be more forceful, or do you not need to worry about it as much? Pretty Pisces people, you love to be in the clouds a lot, so why not go to the iCloud and figure out which one is best?
