Tarotscope For Today: Thursday, April 17, 2025

Aries

Your Card: King of Cups

No, you’re not crazy, Aries. You’re absolutely a hundred percent correct. You may be second-guessing your perception regarding a certain situation. Maybe you’re being given explanations or pieces of information that contradict what your gut is telling you. Don’t doubt you’re gut. You’re much closer to the truth and the reality of things than others may be making you think. 

Taurus

Your Card: Three of Cups

Today, something might be taken away from you that will soon, if not immediately, be replaced. So don’t worry, Taurus. Balance will be restored. When I pulled out your card, I thought of the rule that everything we put out we get back times three. And considering the fact that you got the Three of Cups, which can represent abundance, it seems rather fitting for you. 

Gemini

Your Card: Nine of Cups

What will make or break your day is your outlook. Focus on your inner happiness and count your blessings, Gemini. I know that sometimes this is easier said than done, but doing so will help you to turn your day around. You might get caught up in this mindset of lack by focusing on what you don’t have instead of what you do have. What you’re ignoring is that the things you have now are the same goals and wishes you dreamt of achieving at some point in the past. Maybe you don’t have everything you’re working towards, but in many ways, you’re living out the dreams of your past self. 

Cancer

Your Card: Ace of Swords

You don’t have to listen to everybody’s advice, Cancer. Though the people around you do have good intentions and only want to see you grow and overcome specific challenges, the Ace of Swords indicates to me that you know what works best for you, and therefore, you know exactly what you need to do. Not that everybody is giving you bad advice, if it’s worked for them in the past, that’s great. However, it’s advice that won’t necessarily yield you the same results. Especially because everyone’s advice is contradicting each other. Stop looking externally for the answer on what you should do next. Just trust yourself. 

Leo

Your Card: Queen of Swords

Someone isn’t being completely truthful with you, Leo. Whoever immediately popped up into your mind as soon as you read the first line is probably who your Tarotscope is referring to. This isn’t to say that they’re going to betray you or have malicious intentions, but it’s just something to keep an eye on. When searching for truth, read between the lines and listen to the subtext as opposed to what is literally being said. 

Virgo

Your Card: The High Priestess

You may find yourself becoming self-aware of a certain cycle you’ve been repeating for years now, Virgo. However, self-awareness is only the first step in growth and change. Self-awareness means nothing if we are not taking the necessary actions to change and break those cycles. The High Priestess emphasizes a need to separate your logical side and your emotional side to better navigate the path forward in a way that will lead to growth and sustained change. It may not be easy, but trust the process. Long-term gratification is always far more rewarding than short-term gratification. 

Libra

Your Card: Nine of Wands

What’s the point in rushing if it just leads to more mistakes? And then those mistakes will lead to more time being wasted to correct them. Trust the process, Libra. Don’t rush yourself and don’t let anybody around you make you feel rushed. Focus on thinking things through and getting it right. 

Scorpio

Your Card: Four of Swords

If you don’t know what to say, then don’t say anything, Scorpio. This could be relating to a surprise text you’ve received from someone you haven’t spoken to in a while, some sort of offer, or any sort of comment that throws you off balance. Sometimes silence is the best response. It’s better than saying something out of anxiety and feeling like you owe a response to everyone. If you don’t know what to say, then take a step back until you find the right words. And if you don’t find the right words, that’s because the best answer is no answer. 

Sagittarius

Your Card: Ace of Wands

You may be directing your frustrations at the wrong person right now, Sagittarius. You might’ve been given some information or a piece of gossip that is making you question what you thought you knew. Whether you realize it or not, this news might be stirring up some sort of fire in you, but hold back as best as you can until the dust has settled and you know for sure that you’re getting all the facts right. And find a way to burn off this energy in a way that won’t lead to any more issues. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Eight of Pentacles

There may be some area of your life that has felt stagnant for a long time. The Eight of Pentacles indicates that today you may be finally hitting your stride and growing exponentially faster in a certain career field, skill/hobby, or trade than you did in the past. When it comes to learning new things or reaching a certain status in life, it’s always the most difficult in the beginning because we are still trying to get the hang of things. But once we get past that first stage of slow stagnated growth, success starts to increase exponentially. So with that said, see this accelerated growth as a sign to keep going because you’ve finally hit the part where the fun really begins. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Page of Cups

Sometimes the best answer is the most obvious one. The same applies to ideas. When I pulled your card, I thought of a scene from the show “Modern Family” and as silly as this scene may sound, I think it truly applies to your reading today. One of the characters was saying that he thinks inside the box because while everyone else is running around outside of the box looking for ideas, the box is empty. So in other words, don’t feel like you have to impress others with crazy ideas or complicated creations. In the case of today, less is more. The context of how this applies may vary from person to person depending on who is reading. 

Pisces

Your Card: The Empress

Don’t look for the validation of others, Pisces. You may find yourself celebrating a major personal success, and while you usually feel compelled to announce these sorts of wins to the world or the closest people around you, The Empress is telling you to keep it to yourself for now. Enjoy your win. What I mean is that it shouldn’t matter who knows what about our accomplishments or how they feel. We shouldn’t depend on others patting us on the back for validation. This win is your win. So take some time to congratulate yourself and celebrate by yourself. Then let everyone else know.
