Tarotscope For Today: Thursday, August 14, 2025

ARIES

Your Card: Eight of Pentacles, reversed

Believe it or not, the best thing you can do when you’re not achieving your desired progress or outcome is to take a step back. You’re on the road to burning yourself out. Let today be a day of pause and rest. Set aside whatever has you feeling stuck and frustrated. This moment calls for a much needed break to recharge and regroup. Reflect on the energy you’re putting into your efforts. What can you be doing differently? Perhaps you’re too focused on the details, or not focused enough . Try to look at every angle. There might be an approach you haven’t yet taken. It might be a good idea to stop and consider whether you need to change course. 

TAURUS

Your Card: Wheel of Fortune, reversed

As a creature of habit, you don’t deal well with change. It makes it incredibly difficult, near impossible, even, for you to allow yourself to lean into the unknown. The Wheel of Fortune appears in reverse to open your eyes to the difference between stability and stagnation. These shifts you’re currently resisting are unfolding around you for a reason. Instead of seeing them as something dreadful, recognize them as opportunities for growth. In going with the flow, you’re actually taking control of your destiny. Learn to adjust and adapt to these external forces. You’re doing yourself a disservice by clinging to your old life, your tried-and-true methods, and your long-held ideas. Embrace something new, no matter how uncomfortable, and watch yourself prosper.

GEMINI

Your Card: The Devil, reversed

Today, you’re overtaken with an overwhelming sense of self-awareness that’s pushing you to a significant change in perspective. Everything that’s been holding you back and confining you is suddenly shifting into focus. You know what you have to do to break free and reclaim your power. Believe it or not, you’ve already done so much growth, Gemini. The simple act of recognizing what no longer serves you and doing the actual outgrowing speaks volumes of how you’re leveling up. This is your sign to sever your last ties to those old patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. Don’t be afraid to walk away from situations, people, and dreams that are not in alignment with the person you are becoming. 

CANCER

Your Card: The Moon 

The Moon is a card of illusions and confusion. When it shows up, it signals a time to dive inward and get in touch with your intuition. Today is a day for slowing down, prioritizing solitude, and checking in on your subconscious. There’s a truth you have to uncover, Cancer. It might involve a deception by someone in your life. It might mean shattering a fantasy and seeing it for what it truly is. It might mean taking note of how you may be projecting your fears. It might mean releasing any anxieties that might be holding your back. It might mean facing the ways in which you may be lying to yourself. Dig deep to uncover the hidden truths in your life. 

LEO

Your Card: Queen of Pentacles

The Queen of Pentacles is nurturing, warmhearted, and generous. She’s a comforting, cozy presence. Others feel better by simply being around her. When she shows up in a reading, it’s to remind you of the importance of staying attuned to your surroundings. Her card is an encouragement to pay attention to the people and things you value the most in your life, including yourself. She urges you to nourish your spirit with self-care, to create a warm environment for yourself, and to welcome others into that space. Today, work on making your home feel safer and cozier. Connect with your loved ones, even if it’s with a simple phone call. Unwind. Cook a comforting meal for yourself. Get grounded. 

VIRGO

Your Card: Five of Cups, reversed

The reversed Five of Cups signals a time to move from a place of heartache or disappointment into one of recovery. It’s an encouragement to let go. You can choose to keep dwelling on what was or what could have been, or you can start focusing on what could still be. There are endless possibilities awaiting you, but you will never touch any of that magic if you keep looking to the past. Epic failure will lead to new opportunities. Having your heart broken is a step on the way to finding your true love. Despair can transform into hope. Losing a job or a dream always gives way to a new one. Embrace the idea of a new beginning, Virgo. It might still feel painful or be challenging, but you’re taking a huge step in simply choosing to move forward. 

LIBRA

Your Card: Four of Cups

This is your cosmic call to get it together and wake up! Today, you should put all your energy into opening your eyes and looking around you. Don’t let yourself become consumed with the negative. That “woe is me” mindset will be your downfall. While you’re focusing on the disappointments, you’re missing out on potential opportunities. Stop overlooking what’s right in front of you. So, what? Things didn’t work out the way you expected? Look at all the blessings you do have. There are others who wish for what you take for granted. Instead of walking back and forth between every closed door you’ve come across, take the back exit and walk towards the wonderful possibilities that wait for you out there. Open yourself up to magic by making an effort to look for it. 

SCORPIO

Your Card: Queen of Cups, reversed

Make it your mission over the next few days to take care of you. You’ve been going, going, going without allowing yourself to be truly present. Slow down, Scorpio. Make time for solitude and self-care. Reconnect with your inner world. Let yourself feel your feelings. Get attuned with the beauty that surrounds you. Open yourself up to a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. Listen to what your soul is telling you. It’s been screaming at you to pay attention while you’ve been on autopilot. Meditate in a quiet place. Write your heart out in your journal. Get centered and calm. This is your permission to take the day off work tomorrow. Over the weekend, prioritize your peace. The rest can wait until later. 

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: Two of Pentacles

There’s currently a lack of balance in your life, Sag. Use today to check in with yourself and reflect on the necessary shifts and changes. You might be focusing too much on one area in your life to the detriment of others. Perhaps you’re stretched out too thin, and something has to give. Think of how you can manage your time and priorities more carefully. No matter how full your plate may be at times, don’t let yourself neglect your well-being and the things that bring you joy. Remember that rest is productive, and so is soaking up all that life has to offer. 

CAPRICORN 

Your Card: Justice, reversed

Your inner critic is loud today, Capricorn. You’re judging yourself too harshly. Try to be gentle with yourself and quiet your unkind thoughts. Maybe you’re just having one of those days, or maybe you’re dwelling on something you did wrong. Everyone slips up from time to time. There is no mistake or failure that you can’t recover from. Don’t let the thing you’re spiraling about be the thing that defines you. As long as you own up to it and take accountability for it, there’s always a way forward. If there’s someone you need to apologize to, do it as soon as possible. Do it even if you think too much time has gone by. Late is better than never. Don’t be too proud to extend the olive branch. You’ll feel better for it, whether it’s well-received or not. 

AQUARIUS

Your Card: Judgment

This is your sign to stop being afraid of stepping into something far greater. Spend some time after your day is over reflecting on what you want to accomplish and what’s been stopping you from chasing after it. Why do you have so much fear of what comes next? Why have you been ignoring your calling? What do you need to release to bring in growth and expansion? Let go of the self-doubt, Aquarius. Reframe your past failures as lessons. You are wiser and far more capable now than you were back then. Believe that you have what it takes to make everything happen for yourself. 

PISCES

Your Card: Three of Pentacles, reversed

As much as you may not want to today, you’re going to have to force yourself to be a team player. This means working with others on the job. It means collaborating and being open to ideas that aren’t yours. It also means reaching out for help wherever you may need it. At home, don’t hesitate to ask for a helping hand. If there’s something you’re struggling with, lean on someone trusted. You don’t have to go at it alone, Pisces. You’re constantly there for others, so let them be there for you, too.
