Tarotscope For Today: Friday, August 22, 2025

Aries

Your Card: Judgment

Today, if an old feeling, memory, or even a person from your past re-appears in your life, it’s an opportunity to heal or get closure. Look at it as a chance to clear the air and speak your truth. You may also feel called to re-evaluate a past decision, especially if it’s uncomfortable. Be completely honest with yourself and make peace. Face it head on. By doing so, you can drop any emotional baggage weighing you down.

Taurus

Your Card: Ace of Wands

The Ace of Wands is like the universe handing you a match. However, it’s not to burn something down. Instead, it’s a creative spark, a chance to start something new. If you’ve had writer’s block or have been unable to focus, this card means your brain will be buzzing with new ideas today. Use the restless energy of this card to fan the flames of inspiration.

Gemini

Your Card: Knight of Swords (reversed)

Has your mind been buzzing like you’ve had too many shots of espresso? Reversed, the Knight of Swords presents as scattered thoughts or acting impulsively. Today, don’t speak too quickly or jump to conclusions too hastily. If someone tries to bring the drama, gracefully step out of the way. If you allow yourself to get sucked in, you may lose control completely. When this knight rides in upside down, it’s not a hero on a horse: it’s a chance to trip over your own sword. 

Cancer

Your Card: Ace of Pentacles

You’ve got a shiny new coin in your pocket, but what are you going to spend it on? Today, expect new streams of income, job opportunities, or an unexpected offer. Be open to new ideas and plan to use this coin wisely. Use this card’s grounded energy to organize your thoughts and write out a list of goals. Start taking baby steps toward your dream. Every success started as a simple idea with a little bit of money. 

Leo

Your Card: Two of Pentacles

You’ve got a lot on your plate today, but the Two of Pentacles suggests that you should keep things light and don’t be afraid to laugh when life gets ridiculous. If you start feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath and prioritize the most important things first. It’s a good day to say “no” to anything that doesn’t spark joy. Also, ask why you’re pushing yourself so hard? Is it to save face? Is it a lack of boundaries? Figure out what you need to do to make more time for yourself.

Virgo

Your Card: The Lovers

There’s a decision to be made today. The Lovers, while a card of romance, also indicates that you are standing at a crossroads. This could be in your career or in your personal or romantic relationships. Don’t make the easy choice. Instead, consider what you really want. This card is a reminder that love, in all its forms, teaches us something, too. Listen closely to your heart today. It won’t lead you astray.

Libra

Your Card: Knight of Wands

Those clouds of dust in the distance mean that the Knight of Wands is on his way to shake up your day in an exciting way. Expect to feel highly motivated. You may be bouncing off the walls with energy. However, this Knight also has the power to derail your day because he tends to hit the gas rather than the breaks. Pace yourself. Don’t burn yourself out halfway through.

Scorpio

Your Card: The Empress

The Empress encourages you to slow down and soak in the beauty of life, no matter how big or small. It’s a reminder that growth takes time, so appreciate all of the cycles of life. Whether you’re planting the seeds of a new idea or simply enjoying the fruits of your labor, take a moment to enjoy its beauty today. It’s also a great day to work in the garden or go outside and just bask in the sun.

Sagittarius

Your Card: Eight of Swords

Fear, doubt, and negative thinking may be clouding your mind. You’re overthinking something, perhaps because you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing or making the wrong decision. This negative spiralling can cause you to lose sight of what’s really important and blind you to the options in front of you. So, today, challenge these mental assumptions and work on shifting your perspective. The answer may be right in front of you. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Knight of Pentacles

A steady, patient knight, the Knight of Pentacles is the workhorse of the zodiac. Today, roll up your sleeves and get down to business. Don’t rush through it. Don’t skip the hard stuff. This card is about diligence. If you’ve been putting off working out or starting a new home improvement project, it’s a great day to start them. The Knight of Pentacles reminds us that hard work and improvements can make our lives better.

Aquarius

Your Card: Knight of Cups

If you’ve been waiting for a sign that it’s okay to express your emotions, the Knight of Cups is here with a message of love. This card encourages you to be open in all matters of the heart. Whether that’s reaching out to a loved one, a partner, or expressing your admiration for someone new, today is a good day to open up. However, this knight is also dreamer, so don’t do something reckless, like propose to that cute barista.

Pisces

Your Card: Four of Swords 

If you’ve been stressed out or pushing yourself too hard, the Four of Swords advises you to rest. Slow down and do some self-care, whatever that looks like for you. Meditate, paint, take a nap, or make some homemade chocolate chip cookies. Remember, taking time for yourself isn’t laziness: it’s essential. Resting today will give you more energy tomorrow.
