Tarotscope For Today: Tuesday, August 19, 2025

Aries

Your Card: The Hermit

The information you’re looking for, the wisdom that can guide you forward, requires you to look within yourself. You carry the light of knowledge, Aries, but just as the stars are difficult to see near the cities, you need some time alone and away from people to see your own light shine. Sequester yourself just a bit today, you’ll discover that the quiet, wise voice within is far easier to hear.

Taurus

Your Card: The Devil

Does it feel like there’s something that’s ruling your thoughts, Taurus? A pleasurable itch to scratch that your mind returns to, unable to truly stray away from it for long? It might have started as a simple comfort and then spiralled into so much more. The Devil is a message to you that you need to consider what it is that your mind is so wrapped up in – is it good to you and good for you? Be mindful of the habits you allow into your life.

Gemini

Your Card: Nine of Wands

Boundaries are meaningless if you don’t fiercely defend them, Gemini, and your mental and emotional health is worth your investment now. It can be daunting to clearly state what you want (especially if you suspect the reaction might be a bad one), but it’s important that you make a concentrated effort today to fight for what you need. You’ve come so very far towards your goals and are close to attaining them. Stand firm, you’re very nearly there!

Cancer

Your Card: Queen of Wands

You are a powerful force to be reckoned with, and your light helps lift many out of the darkness. So, be brave and let that light shine into the world. Your passion coupled with your ability to emotionally connect with people is a mixture that can hit people straight to the heart. Be mindful of your intensity and how you wield it. Don’t be surprised if there are more creatives around you than usual today, Cancer

Leo

Your Card: The Moon (Reversed)

Be fearless. Everything, eventually will come to the light, Leo, and hidden truths or those that have been pushed into the shadows come forward today. If you’ve been reluctant to engage with your intuition, the signs will be undeniable today. It will be easier than usual to get caught up in dreams of the world, don’t let them take you from the present, or cloud your view. Listen closely. Your dreams may lead you towards a powerful spiritual experience. 

Virgo

Your Card: Queen of Cups, Reversed

 It’s not so often that your emotional intelligence fails you, Virgo, but you may be harboring a blind spot due to some difficult experiences. That past pain is going to impact your understanding of the world today. We are all affected by traumas, and part of our healing comes from learning to be compassionate and loving with ourselves through the entire process, even when it’s messy. Spend some time discerning the messages from your heart. Trust the process, and that your emotions want to flow towards healing. 

Libra 

Your Card: Page of Cups, Reversed

Denying the impact of what happened doesn’t actually make it go away, Libra, and the best thing you can do for yourself is to admit the wound that you’re carrying. It’s understandable that you retreat from vulnerability after being wounded, but lingering in that place of pain for too long may allow it to fester into self-pity. Allow yourself the compassion to process the feelings instead of repressing them.

Scorpio

Your Card: Death

There’s a time for everything, including the end, and few zodiac signs are as aware of this energy as you are, Scorpio. While you’re processing all the emotions that come with that, remember that endings are also beginnings. Growth means that we are constantly changing, allowing things to move in and out of our lives as we develop and mature. Inevitably, we must learn to let go and move on in order to make space for the transitions and transformations that make up life.

Sagittarius

Your Card: Justice

Everything you’ve done has led you to this moment and these choices, Sagittarius. Justice isn’t just about righteousness, it’s about the appropriate weighing of the lessons from your experiences and what they mean in the current moment. Be realistic in your expectations of yourself and others. Take a moment to consider the situation fully, and attempt to drain your emotional bias from it. Be accountable, for who you were and who you are striving to become. 

Capricorn

Your Card: King of Wands, Reversed

Try to wrap up the small details today, they’ll trip you up later. In the process, you’re going to find yourself dealing with someone who is a bit arrogant and stuck in their ways, Capricorn. While passionate in their cause, their self-righteousness prevents them from seeing the entire matter. Their insecurities are being laid bare, bringing their temper to the edge. If this is you, or someone who is near you – tread lightly. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Ten of Cups, Reversed

The miscommunications aren’t so comical, Aquarius, and they’re taking a big bite out of what are normally harmonious times with those you love. What started as tiny disagreements are snowballing, and the people that you used to look to for support and advice are those you dread hearing from the most these days. Is there a way for you to heal those relationships, are they worth pouring some more love into? 

Pisces

Your Card: The Chariot

Be clear and focused about your intentions, your will is a powerful force today. You’ll find it easier than usual to drive relentlessly forward, Pisces, as long as you’re certain of where you’re headed. Use all of your energy and focus to drive yourself towards your goal, don’t cater to distractions. If the situation feels rudderless, it’s because the universe is offering you an opportunity to be the leader that is so badly needed.
