Tarotscope For Today: Wednesday, August 13, 2025
Aries
Your Card: Queen of Swords
You have no patience for drama today, Aries, because you’re finally feeling clear-headed enough to make some big decisions and get things moving. You’ll be dealing with problems swiftly and decisively, which has you feeling particularly independent today. Now isn’t the time to hold back, but if you plan on delivering any newly-discovered truth-bombs, be aware of just how sharp that truth may be to someone. Some may misread your intentions or demeanor, believing that you are being aloof at best or cold at worst. Join your emotional intelligence with your vision and communication skills.
Taurus
Your Card: Seven of Swords
Deception hangs thick around you, Taurus, and the paranoia is so thick it pierces your every thought. It could be that you are being lied to, or that you’re lying to someone else – or yourself. If you’re in a desperate situation, you may find yourself considering trickery or cunning to get out of it. Be honest and straightforward as you prepare yourself for the inevitability that the deceit will be brought to the light. Knowing that all will be revealed doesn’t lessen the pain of this experience, especially if it involves a deep betrayal.
Gemini
Your Card: Queen of Wands
You’re unabashedly and beautifully passionate today, Gemini, and the creative fire within is bringing out your best. The Queen of Wands is a sign to enthusiastically pursue what you’re passionate about, and let your love and light shine through. Be bold, and embrace the adventure the day offers. Your willingness to engage in the world with your entire self in pursuit of your creative goals will inspire others, so pour your energy into something spectacular.
Cancer
Your Card: Ace of Pentacles
There’s a new material pursuit that starts for you today, Cancer. It might be a new job or a new investment or a new project, but that primal starting energy surrounds you. The beginning is an important time, and if you can use this time to clearly set your goals and intentions, you’ll find it easier to manifest what you’re looking for. Be direct in your communication, and use this powerful time to set the tone for your future, and be certain that your plans fully support your goals.
Leo
Your Card: Strength
Of course this is a major arcana card associated with your sign, Leo, but the lion pictured isn’t the true strength in the card – it’s the woman who is calmly working with it, holding its jaws shut gently. It is that gentle statement of strength – the resilience and quiet bravery – that is with you today. It is a gift to have a quiet moment in which our true nature is revealed, and after today you’ll have a deeper appreciation of your strength and resilience.
Virgo
Your Card: Eight of Cups
After so much of your sweat and tears (and maybe even some blood), you’re walking away. It’s important that you do, Virgo. Part of growth is recognizing when something no longer serves us, honoring its place in our lives, and walking away. Best to do so now before things get more entangled and complicated. Don’t force yourself to act as though it never happened – allow yourself to fully process your grief and other feelings so that you can truly heal and move forward.
Libra
Your Card: Three of Wands
Everything you’ve worked for is coming together, and success is right there on the horizon – and you’re headed right for it, Libra! This doesn’t mean stop. You’ve made this opportunity happen through hard work and hustle, and to actually make it means more of the same. As you grow closer to your goal, think of what you’re going to invest in next, and use your successes to fuel your progress. Think, and be, expansive.
Scorpio
Your Card: Six of Pentacles
Gratitude for abundance often leads to generosity, and such acts of charity allow for the experience of two-way flow. Giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin. If you’re able to help – do so. This part is harder: if you need help, ask for it, Scorpio. This may not refer to money, either, but to anything that holds value, including your time or emotional resources.
Sagittarius
Your Card: Ten of Wands
This is one of the minor arcana that is representative of your zodiac, Sagittarius, so don’t be surprised if you feel like you’re in your element, even if you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed. There’s a part of you that loves to throw yourself into a situation, and this time you might have bitten off a bit more than you can chew. Take a moment and allow yourself to reassess what your goals really are, and what a realistic way to get there might look like.
Capricorn
Your Card: Five of Cups
You gave it your all, Capricorn, your whole entire heart, and now it all feels dashed. It’s emotionally difficult to have illusions torn away, and that moment of disillusionment presents us with a terrible but inevitable choice. Do we walk away, leaving that part of us behind? Or do we continue to try, knowing what we’ve already lost? Instead of focusing on the now, take a moment and consider who you want to be in the future, and how your decision today plays into that.
Aquarius
Your Card: Death
Growth contains death within it, Aquarius. For a plant to reach further towards the sky, the bottom leaves die to allow the energy to be used by the overall plant to stretch towards the heavens. So it is with us, that as we grow into a new phase of life, we must make room by letting things go. The Death that you are facing now will give space for something new, and is an indication of that age-old cycle within you. What will you do with all you have learned, and the new awareness you carry?
Pisces
Your Card: Five of Pentacles
The fives in tarot represent challenges, and you are being challenged within the material realm today, Pisces. Your body may ache, or there may be issues with finances or resources. The frustrations and difficulties you face are creating an overall feeling of otherness. The more the challenges bare down on your shoulders, the more alone you feel. Part of this may be due to your focus, which is naturally on yourself during these difficult times. Be careful that you aren’t so focused on the difficulties of your experience that you are missing out on people willing to help.
