♉ TAURUS… SOMEBODY MAY BE BLOCKING A BETTER CONNECTION BECAUSE YOUR LOVE, MONEY, OR ACCESS BENEFITS THEM. THAT UNEQUAL SETUP IS GETTING EXPOSED. 💋💰🚫⚖️
SERIES: What’s The Tea
ORACLE DECK USED: What’s The Tea
ORACLE: Cock Blocking with Marrying For Money at the bottom of the deck
TAROT: Empress, 8 of Pentacles reversed, Hierophant reversed with Justice reversed at the bottom of the deck
Taurus, the tea today is coming in like somebody does NOT want you freely choosing what is best for you. Cock Blocking immediately brings interference, jealousy, competition, or somebody intentionally getting between you and another person, but Marrying For Money underneath the deck makes their MOTIVE much more interesting. Somebody may benefit materially, emotionally, socially, or practically from keeping a particular relationship intact, keeping you attached, or preventing somebody from moving toward you. The Empress tells me you are sitting in a highly desirable position, while the 8 of Pentacles reversed, Hierophant reversed, and Justice reversed show an arrangement that is not being maintained through genuine effort, mutual devotion, or fairness. Somebody may be trying to protect what they RECEIVE from a connection even though the connection itself is no longer operating the way it should.
SOMEBODY DOES NOT WANT YOU GETTING TOO CLOSE
Cock Blocking is very literal energy. Somebody may be deliberately interfering with communication, access, dating, intimacy, collaboration, or somebody’s ability to get closer to you. They could be inserting themselves into conversations, creating confusion, keeping somebody occupied, discouraging a connection, spreading information, or making sure there is always some type of obstacle between two people who would otherwise naturally connect. This feels less accidental and more like somebody knows exactly what they are doing.
And Taurus, the Empress explains WHY you could be triggering this reaction. You are showing up as desirable, valuable, abundant, attractive, nurturing, or simply difficult to compete with when you are fully being yourself. Somebody may recognize that another person genuinely likes what you bring to the table. That can make an insecure person start protecting their POSITION instead of improving the relationship they already have. They may not necessarily be fighting because their connection is healthy. They may be fighting because they do not want somebody else receiving what they have become accustomed to having access to.
THERE MAY BE MONEY, COMFORT, OR STATUS TIED TO THE SITUATION
Marrying For Money underneath the Oracle deck changes the entire flavor of this reading. This does not have to mean somebody literally married someone solely for money, but there may be a relationship being maintained because of what comes WITH it. Housing, financial support, lifestyle, business connections, shared assets, status, children, security, convenience, or simply having somebody else carry more of the load could be making somebody reluctant to let go.
That becomes even louder with the Empress sitting beside the 8 of Pentacles reversed. One person may be PROVIDING while somebody else is not putting in equal effort. This could be emotional labor, actual work, money, household responsibilities, relationship effort, or the energy required to keep something functioning. Somebody may like the benefits of the arrangement more than they like doing the work necessary to deserve those benefits. And when another connection threatens that comfortable setup, suddenly here comes the interference.
THE EMPRESS IS NOT THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO COMPETE
Taurus, you are represented by the Empress here, and I need you to understand what that means in this storyline. You are not being shown as somebody who needs to chase, audition, prove your worth, or fight another person over access. The Empress ATTRACTS. She does not need to crawl into a messy situation and convince somebody to choose her. If somebody genuinely wants what you bring, they need to make decisions that create room for it.
This also means you should be careful not to get pulled into somebody else’s triangle. Cock Blocking can tempt you to start watching the competition, analyzing what another person is doing, or trying to understand why somebody keeps getting in the way. Baby, that is THEIR behavior to explain. Your job is to notice whether the person you are dealing with is capable of protecting the connection themselves. You should not have to fight harder for access to somebody than THEY fight to make themselves available.
SOMEBODY MAY BE HOLDING ON WITHOUT DOING THE WORK
The 8 of Pentacles reversed is where this situation starts looking raggedy. Somebody wants the relationship, title, benefits, security, or access, but they may not actually want to put consistent WORK into maintaining it. That is a problem. You cannot demand ownership over a connection while neglecting the very things required to keep it healthy.
This could also explain the Cock Blocking energy. Instead of improving themselves or addressing what is wrong inside their own situation, somebody may be directing their attention toward the perceived competition. They would rather block somebody else than fix what they already have. That is backwards. If the only way you can keep somebody is by making sure they never encounter a better option, then the relationship was already vulnerable.
THE COMMITMENT ITSELF MAY NOT BE AS SOLID AS IT LOOKS
The Hierophant reversed is especially interesting for Taurus because the Hierophant is traditionally connected to YOUR sign. Reversed, it can show breaking away from expectations, questioning a commitment, rejecting an old relationship structure, or realizing that something being called “official” is not necessarily healthy. A relationship can have a TITLE and still be dysfunctional.
This could involve somebody reconsidering marriage, exclusivity, commitment, or the rules they have been living by. If Marrying For Money is involved, somebody may finally be looking at an arrangement and realizing, “This person is here because of what I provide,” or “I stayed because leaving would disrupt my comfort.” Hierophant reversed says the traditional setup may no longer make sense just because it has existed for a long time.
SOMEBODY MAY BE TRYING TO KEEP A CONNECTION TOGETHER FOR THE WRONG REASON
Marrying For Money with Hierophant reversed is one of those combinations where the relationship itself may be under review. Somebody could be staying because separation would cost them, downgrade their lifestyle, disrupt family expectations, affect property or finances, or force them to start over. That does not automatically mean there are zero feelings involved, but feelings may not be the ONLY thing keeping the connection together.
And Taurus, that matters because Cock Blocking suggests somebody else could be getting dragged into the consequences of that unresolved arrangement. If somebody is not free, they need to get FREE before trying to build something new. You should not become the escape hatch from a relationship they are too afraid to end themselves. Let them handle their business. Then you can decide whether you even still want access once the situation is clean.
JUSTICE REVERSED SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IS NOT FAIR
Justice reversed underneath the Tarot deck brings imbalance, dishonesty, unequal treatment, or somebody avoiding accountability. One person could be carrying more responsibility while another enjoys more benefits. Somebody could also be presenting themselves as a victim while leaving out the part where their own choices helped create the mess.
This is where you need to pay attention to FACTS, Taurus. Somebody may tell you that another person is preventing them from moving forward, but are THEY actually making decisions? Are they setting boundaries? Are they changing anything? Are they being transparent? Or are they allowing the triangle to continue because they benefit from receiving attention, security, or emotional support from multiple directions? Justice reversed says do not excuse unfair behavior just because the story sounds complicated.
WHAT THIS IS PUSHING YOU TO DO NEXT
Do not participate in a competition you never agreed to enter. If somebody wants access to you, they should come with enough clarity that you are not constantly wondering where you stand. The Empress does not need crumbs from somebody whose life is still tangled up in another arrangement.
And if this is not romantic for you, the same rule applies to friendship, family, business, or work. Somebody may be preventing you from connecting with a customer, collaborator, opportunity, or resource because your growth threatens the benefit they receive from keeping things exactly as they are. Do not shrink yourself to preserve somebody else’s comfortable arrangement. If a system only works when you remain underused, underpaid, overlooked, or inaccessible, that system was never designed to serve you.
WHAT YOU’RE NOT SEEING YET
The Empress being the strongest upright energy in this reading tells me Taurus actually has more leverage than the surrounding mess would suggest. Somebody else may be scrambling to protect a position while you are simply becoming MORE valuable. That is a very different energy.
And I would not underestimate what happens when you stop participating. Cock Blocking only works when the interference successfully controls your choices. Once you stop chasing access, stop competing, and stop accepting half-available situations, somebody else has to deal with the consequences of their own arrangement. Suddenly the issue is not “How do we keep Taurus away?” The issue becomes “Why is our relationship failing when Taurus is not even involved?”
Whew.
WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON FOR TAURUS
Taurus, somebody may be trying to interfere with a connection because there are tangible benefits attached to keeping the existing setup intact. Money, security, lifestyle, familiarity, status, or dependence could be playing a much bigger role than anybody openly admits. But the cards also show that the arrangement itself is not especially healthy. There is low effort, unconventional or unstable commitment, and unfairness underneath it.
Meanwhile, YOU are sitting in Empress energy.
That means your real power is not winning some messy competition. Your power is recognizing when you are too valuable to participate in one. Let people make their choices. Let relationships reveal what they are actually built on. And if somebody wants access to Taurus, they need to come CORRECT, because being desirable does not mean being available for confusion.
TAURUS BADDIE CHALLENGE 💋
For the next 48 hours, refuse to compete for anything that should be choosing you freely. If somebody gives mixed signals, keeps another person in the middle, makes you prove your worth, or expects you to tolerate an unfair setup, do not increase your effort. Pull your energy back and WATCH what happens. Somebody who genuinely values you will move toward clarity. Somebody who only wanted access without responsibility will start revealing exactly why the situation felt off.
