Tarotscope For Today: Friday, May 23, 2025

Table of Contents

Aries

Your Card: Queen of Swords

The theme of today is logical, grounded advice. The mental clarity you are experiencing today will help you exert a steadying influence on your surroundings, Aries. You’re able to balance your analytical findings with your emotional intelligence and your unbiased and honest opinion will be extremely helpful. If you’ve been feeling like there is a truth hidden in a situation, you may well figure it all out by the day’s end.

Taurus

Your Card: Four of Pentacles, Reversed

It’s a tough world, and it’s understandable that when we are faced with adversity we try to hold on especially tight to what makes us feel normal, Taurus. Sometimes, that can result in us becoming overly possessive to the point of creating hardship and lack. You can be frugal without being a miser, and generous without breaking the bank. The balance is difficult, but important.

Gemini

Your Card: Judgement

There are moments in life where we come to such a striking truth, such a huge epiphany, that we recall them as a true turning point for us. You are likely to feel just such a calling today, Gemini, and will find yourself at a crossroads, with an opportunity to ‘right’ your course and live more authentically. This new self-realization will help you to realign your life with your purpose and your values, and to begin to move more confidently towards your calling.

Cancer

Your Card: Justice, Reversed 

It’s difficult to be sensitive to injustice when the world is so filled with it, Cancer. You are specifically attuned to your feelings of justice, and watching the emotional turmoil that is caused by dishonesty and unfairness can be particularly emotionally taxing for you. If you must dabble in making up for what you deem a karmic deficit, lift others out of injustice when you can. The other course, of retribution and revenge, has too high of a cost. 

Leo

Your Card: The Magician

Today is a great day to manifest the world you want to live in,  Leo, The Magician represents the intersection of skill and resources. It means that you have everything you need to make the world you want to create, as long as you know what it is that you want. The only thing that could stand in your way is yourself. Trust that in every moment, and with every breath, the universe has your back today.

Virgo

Your Card: The Hermit, Reversed 

There are times and events that require us to be alone – there are just some things that require solitude. But there’s a big difference between being alone, and being lonely. Despite the fact that you know you need some time to yourself, the isolation is wearing on you, Virgo. Try to evaluate why you feel that way, and if it’s a discomfort with what you’re facing. Trust yourself that you have the reason and resilience to handle whatever life may bring.

Libra 

Your Card: Three of Wands, Reversed

Things aren’t moving the way you had hoped or planned for, and where you are now isn’t exactly where you had hoped you could be. It can be especially difficult when it felt like you had a lot of momentum behind you. It’s understandable that you’re frustrated, Libra. See if you can use your obstacles or restraints as a way to direct your creative energies, instead of seeing them as blocks.

Scorpio

Your Card: Wheel of Fortune, Reversed

There are moments for all of us when we did everything right and things still didn’t go our way. Learning how to emotionally deal with misfortune without judging ourselves is an important skill, Scorpio. There will be times we are challenged and times when we will fail. Understanding that failure isn’t final nor is it a reflection on our worth is an important lesson.

Sagittarius

Your Card: The Fool, Reversed 

Beginning a journey – whether it is physical or metaphysical – is always an exciting moment. Be mindful that it’s often tempting to choose a fresh start rather than deal with difficult and nuanced emotional moments, Sagittarius. Be sure that the journey you are beginning is worthy of you and will truly foster your growth, and that you are moving with intention and towards something instead of recklessly running away from something.

Capricorn

Your Card: Six of Swords, Reversed

Do what it takes to address this situation now, even if it means that you need to get help. Learning to graciously seek and receive help is as important as giving help. There are times, hopefully not too often, where our only possible way forward is given to us through the help of others. You’re already navigating a challenging spiritual time, Capricorn, and if there’s a way for you to get help with the burdens you bear, now is the time to do so. 

Aquarius

Your Card:  Eight of Wands

When we feel trapped, the panic it can cause can trigger us to regress in our abilities to make clear decisions. It’s scary to feel as though we can’t even see a path or way forward, much less be able to take one, Aquarius. Instead of folding in on yourself and making yourself feel small, what could happen if you, instead, made yourself feel big? You may surprise yourself with what you find if you make an honest assessment of your situation when you are feeling calmer and more collected.

Pisces

Your Card: Page of Cups

It’s exciting when we feel inspired, especially when it creates a whole new landscape of emotion to explore, Pisces. There is a time and place for everything, including dreaming. If you find yourself in the middle of magical moments, the messages are for you. While you are cultivating your emotional and spiritual side you may find yourself enjoying the smaller miracles in life. Remember your feelings of awe and wonder – they are always yours to access.
