Tarotscope For Today: Friday, August 8, 2025

ARIES

Your Card: Three of Swords

Has something been weighing heavy on you? A betrayal, heartbreak, loss, or disappointment? The Three of Swords encourages emotional release. Expressing your sadness and rage are essential to the healing process, Aries. You shouldn’t repress your emotions, nor should you feel ashamed for having them. Today, hold space for everything you’ve been feeling. Allow yourself to experience every emotion. Get it out. Write about it. Cry about it. Scream about it. Sing about it. Vent to a friend. Let them flow through you each day — as much as it takes to finally rid yourself of them. 

TAURUS

Your Card: Judgment, reversed

Your inner critic is loud today, Taurus. Please don’t listen to what that voice is telling you. Do your best to silence it. Self-doubt can rob you of true joy, amazing opportunities, and wonderful experiences. You cannot let whatever insecurities or fears have surfaced today get the best of you. If something has recently eroded your sense of self-worth, trust that it isn’t the thing that defines you. To help with the unkind thoughts, make a list of all your strengths, of all the qualities about yourself that make you proud. Then, force yourself to go out tonight and have some fun. It’s the weekend, after all. Let loose a little bit and get out of your head!

GEMINI

Your Card: Four of Cups, reversed

Gemini, there’s to be no moping around or wallowing today. If you’re feeling withdrawn, resist any urge to isolate yourself. What you need right now is a reminder that you’re not alone and that life is truly a gift. Get out there and open your eyes to the beauty, opportunities, and possibilities that surround you. Text your friends to make plans for tonight before you can talk yourself out of it. Some fresh air and socializing will help you gain a new perspective. Believe it or not, it will make you eager to move on from the disappointment currently weighing on you. You’ll be feeling hopeful again in no time.

CANCER

Your Card: The Devil

This weekend you might find yourself tempted to slide back into old habits or act recklessly. Resist the urge to revert to patterns you’ve outgrown. Hit up your friends or lose yourself in a creative project, instead of texting your ex. Nothing good can come of it. You don’t miss them, you’re just trying to fill a void. Partying or lavishly spending might fleetingly distract you from how you’re feeling, but you’ll wind back up in the same place until you actually process whatever emotions you’ve been repressing in a healthy manner. Don’t turn to bad vices, no matter how good they might feel in the moment. And do yourself a favor today by reflecting on the mindsets, people, behaviors, and places that no longer serve you.

LEO

Your Card: The Hermit, reversed

The Hermit greets you in reverse as encouragement to re-emerge into the world. You might still be carrying the weight of whatever has made you withdraw and isolate lately, but it’s not going to get any lighter until you put some true effort in on your part. As dreadful as a night of dressing up and going out might sound, it’s truly the best thing you can do for yourself right now. Some fresh air and socializing will do your heart wonders. Make some plans with your friends, even if it’s just for one dinner. You’d be surprised at what a two-hour break from dwelling and moping around can do for you. Don’t underestimate the power of connecting with others. 

VIRGO

Your Card: Ace of Pentacles

Today is a great day for setting intentions, Virgo. The Ace of Pentacles wants you to dream big and grasp the opportunities in front of you. Carve out time today to consider what you want for yourself in all aspects — romantically, creatively, financially, professionally, spiritually. When you think of a new beginning, what does that look like for you? What seeds do you want to plant? How will you water them? How can you open yourself up to new possibilities? Where do you need to start saying yes? What fears do you need to let go? 

LIBRA

Your Card: Three of Wands

The Three of Wands is a card of growth and expansion. When it shows up, it’s a sign to put yourself out there, be bolder, take more risks, and challenge yourself. Today, put some thought into how you level up from where you currently stand. Where in your life do you want more? In what areas do you want to take it further? Consider the things that you’ve been too afraid to chase after, be it a job, a move, a dream trip, or a crush. Beyond your comfort zone lie magic, new opportunities, deep connections, and wonderful experiences. This is your sign to fully go after that thing you desire.

SCORPIO

Your Card: King of Cups

The King of Cups is level-headed, in control of his feelings, and emotionally mature. He shows up as a reminder not to let your emotions consume you and, instead, channel them into something more constructive. Let them fuel you, not sink you, Scorpio. This situation is beyond your control. What isn’t is how you react to it. Don’t give into impulsiveness, into your sadness, into your rage. You won’t win that way. Instead, let yourself choose the direction your feelings will flow. Use their power as a current to manifest something better for yourself. Lean into those emotions and feel your way through to your next move. Focus. 

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: Ten of Cups

There is so much abundance in your life, Sagittarius, whether you’re currently able to appreciate it or not. The Ten of Cups not only wants you to open your eyes to the magic weaving through your life, but it also wants to remind you of the importance of gratitude. That saying about getting what you give is true. More joy, love, and harmony will find you once you start embodying these things. If you’re wishing for more for yourself, you should start by opening your eyes to the miracles that have already unfolded around you. Maybe all you need is a change in perspective. Try to step out of your routine. Try to stop feeding into your stress. Try being more connected with yourself, with others, with your environment. Open yourself up to new things. 

CAPRICORN 

Your Card: The Chariot, reversed

If you’re feeling powerless, then stop obsessing over the things you can’t control and, instead, focus on where you can actually implement change. That means loosening your grip and letting go in certain areas. There are situations which you will just need to let run their course. You won’t always have all the answers. So, walk away from the wall you keep banging your head against. Does it feel like something just isn’t working? That’s a huge sign that you either need a change in perspective or a change of course. Maybe you need to take a new approach. Think about what is in your power. Zero in on those things. Prioritize progress over perfection. Do what you can with what you have right now. 

AQUARIUS

Your Card: Seven of Swords, reversed

The reversal of the Seven of Swords indicates deceit and calls for a check-in with yourself. You’re either being deceived, deceiving someone, or deceiving yourself. So, which is it, Aquarius? Stop talking yourself into ignoring your intuition if it’s setting off warnings concerning somebody. If there’s something weighing heavy on your conscience, it’s important that you let it out and come clean before it comes to light in a different way. Have a moment of brutal honesty with yourself. Are you truly happy or just trying to convince yourself you are? Are you acting like everything is okay when it’s not? Is this the life you truly want? Take a moment to consider how you might be betraying yourself and what you’re going to do to stop it.

PISCES

Your Card: Queen of Cups, reversed

Pisces, you’re one of the most empathetic, nurturing, and sensitive creatures. Right now, you need to give yourself all the love and compassion you usually pour into everyone else. It’s time to take care of yourself. Use this Friday to prioritize your own well-being. Carve out time for solitude and self-care. This is especially important if you’ve been feeling overly sensitive or energetically spent lately. Put your phone on DND, slow down, and dive deep into your inner world. Listen to what your soul is telling you it needs. Let your feelings guide you, even if they take you to some uncomfortable truths about boundaries you need to be setting. Indulge in rest and relaxation. Do what makes you happy and makes you feel good. Let the rest of the world melt away.
