Tarotscope For Today: Saturday, August 23, 2025

Aries

Your card: Seven of Swords, reversed

The truth is about to come to light, and confessions are forthcoming, Aries—whether they’re from you or someone else depends entirely on your situation. If you’ve been trying to get away with something or have been outright lying, you might feel the need to come clean today. But if you’ve been acting authentically, expect for someone else to admit to something, probably in an attempt to make things right. It’s not an easy energy, but it’s the first step toward healing what’s been broken.

Taurus

Your card: Queen of Wands

Today’s energy is infectious, Taurus—you feel powerful, confident, and full of that joie de vivre. You’re full of ideas and inspiration, and you want to share it with those around you and connect with people on a lighter, more social level. You’re more influential than you probably realize right now, so don’t be afraid to take the lead and see who follows—you might be surprised to see how many people have faith in your vision.

Gemini

Your card: Four of Swords

Today is about hitting pause for you, Gemini. Right now, you require rest, especially if things have otherwise felt exhausting or overwhelming for you. It’s okay to take some time for yourself to process or just to turn your brain off for a bit—something that is definitely rare for you, given your air sign nature, but sometimes required nonetheless. Listen to what your body needs and take care of yourself.

Cancer

Your card: King of Cups

You’re an emotional person by nature, Cancer—you are, after all, a water sign, which is directly connected to our feelings and hearts. Because of this, the King of Cups is a wonderful sign for you, especially since the suit of cups is also connected to water and feelings. This energy lends to immense growth and emotional maturity, indicating that you’re in a place where you’re no longer allowing your emotions to get the best of you—and also hinting that you’re ready for the seriousness of romantic connections.

Leo

Your card: Queen of Pentacles

The sun is shining down on you today, Leo. You are in such a positive place, feeling stable and abundant in life—and ready to share that with those you love most. This card is a deeply nurturing energy, showing that today you don’t only want to treat yourself but others, too. You’ve got resources to share and the emotional bandwidth to be there for the people who need a shoulder to cry on.

Virgo

Your card: Five of Pentacles

For you, today is marked by lack—which could mean that you’re struggling to get the resources you need, but it could just as easily point to a mental state of being. You’re often called a perfectionist, but perhaps it’s more true to say that you’re extremely self-critical. It’s easy for you to look at yourself and feel as if you’re not good enough or that you don’t have what it takes to reach your goals. But it’s important to remember this is a state of mind, not a fact—you are rarely in as bad of form as you believe.

Libra

Your card: The Hierophant

Today has you returning to the basics, turning to tradition in a way you might not usually. You might be searching for higher knowledge, either from some sort of educational institution or even from a higher power. Whatever it is, this is a time for learning from the past and starting at the foundation of things before you branch off and follow your own path. This card can also be connected to marriage, one of the longest and most institutions.

Scorpio

Your card: Eight of Cups

For you, today is about moving on—whether that means figuratively or literally. Something just isn’t working for you anymore, and maybe you’ve even held onto it a little longer than you should have. After all, no one likes having to say goodbye or start all the way over. But you know that now the best thing you can do is let go of what is no longer serving you and go off in search of what ultimately will.

Sagittarius

Your card: Ten of Wands

Today, you feel overwhelmed, as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders. You might even feel defeated, like there’s no coming back from this. But just know this: No matter how difficult things are right now, there is always the ability to make a comeback. Right now, it’s time for you to let go of your pride and seek help—whether that’s from a friend, a mentor, or even a mental health professional, depending on what it is you’re struggling with. This energy can be intense, but it’s important to remember it’s the ending of a cycle—and when the new one begins, you’ll come back stronger.

Capricorn

Your card: Four of Wands, reversed

You might feel like you’re standing on shaky ground today, Capricorn. It’s like there’s a general feeling of disharmony, like people cannot get on the same page and are unwilling to compromise. You might feel unsupported or even unwelcome, making you wonder if you’re even fully appreciated by the people surrounding you. If you’re struggling to feel grounded, it’s probably best to turn to the parts of your support system that you can trust to be there for you in moments like this—it’ll be a good reminder that even in times of strife, you’ll always have someone in your corner.

Aquarius

Your card: Temperance

Today is about finding the happy medium for you, Aquarius. You have a tendency to go all-in on something, especially when you’re excited about it, and then cut things loose completely when you no longer feel that same feeling of elation. It’s this all-or-nothing attitude that can make things more difficult for you and can actually make you lose out on opportunities. Today, focus not only on compromise but on balance.

Pisces

Your card: Three of Pentacles, reversed

Today, a lack of teamwork is preventing you from moving forward. There’s a feeling of disconnect here, as if no one is on the same page and no one is willing to compromise. The wires remain crossed, causing misunderstandings and conflict, but the communication isn’t there to easily fix them. You might also be struggling with a lack of motivation, keeping you from doing the work to get the ball rolling again. It’s important to decide if your sense of pride is worth all of the issues going on here—and if there’s a chance you might be part of the problem.
