Tarotscope for Today: Thursday, May 1, 2025

Aries

Your Card: Seven of Pentacles 

Take a time-out today. In the Seven of Pentacles, we see someone who has worked hard on their garden, and now it’s time to stop and smell the flowers. Check-in with your progress. Have you been planting the right seeds? How much longer until you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor? Make sure you’re still on the right track. Rest, reflect, and be ready to pull weeds if things aren’t exactly where you want them. 

Taurus

Your Card: The Lovers 

If your love life is a walking missed connection, the appearance of The Lovers is a second chance to reconnect. As the sixth card of the Major Arcana (sixes always foretell deep connections), The Lovers says this connection has serious long-term potential, so don’t just brush it off as a casual chat. If you’re searching for a partner- in-crime, or just someone who laughs at your jokes, The Lovers is a good omen. 

Gemini

Your Card: Page of Pentacles

In tarot, Pages are messengers, and the Page of Pentacles is delivering a clear one: get busy! This card urges you to roll up your sleeves and get to work if you want to see real, tangible results. Laying the groundwork today, whether it’s in your career, finances, or personal projects, will set you up for tomorrow. If you need to create a budget or want to turn a hobby into a career, the Page of Pentacles encourages you to take your sign’s restless energy and follow through until the end. 

Cancer

Your Card: The Hanged Man

Mysterious and unsettling, The Hanged Man tells us that sometimes the best thing you can do is simply let go. Instead of trying to control the outcome, live more fully in the moment today. Trust that whatever will be, will be. This card also advises us to look at things from a different perspective, so try seeing the situation from someone else’s point of view. By letting go, you may find peace.

Leo

Your Card: Judgement 

The day of reckoning has arrived, but this isn’t a bad thing. When Judgement appears, stand in your convictions and step into your power. Don’t spend too much time worrying about what others think. People are drawn to your natural charisma, so how can you make a difference today? Whether you’re advocating for yourself or others, Judgement says you already know what to do, so do it bravely, fierce lion.

Virgo

Your Card: Page of Cups

As one of the four messengers in tarot, the Page of Cups urges you to open your heart today. You may receive an unexpected missive, perhaps a heartfelt text, an apology, or even a flirty email that catches you off guard. If you’re receptive, don’t overthink it. Follow your heart. The Page of Cups encourages us to be vulnerable, so lower your guard down. Maybe, just a little bit? Sometimes the best moments in life are unplanned. 

Libra

You Card: Knight of Pentacles

This knight is stubborn, careful, and persistent. Once he sets off, he never stops until he reaches his destination. He also clings to his single coin for dear life. So, what area of your financial life should you apply this energy to? This is a time to be methodical, disciplined, and patient with your finances. Stick to your budget today. Maybe pay off a bill. Sure, this knight is boring, but he’s financially secure, which is better than having to charge your rent on a credit card. 

Scorpio

Your Card: Ten of Wands

Scorpios are so intuitive that they often, and sometimes unknowingly, carry the emotional burdens of those around them. The Ten of Wands encourages you to set some boundaries today and focus on your mental health. If you’ve had enough and feel drained, say no to additional responsibilities. Don’t be afraid to delegate. Otherwise, you’ll continue to feel exhausted and ready to sting someone.

Sagittarius

Your Card: King of Swords

A man of intellect, the King of Swords rules with logic and reason. Today, whether you’re having a tough conversation with a colleague, friend, or loved one, the King of Swords emphasizes the need to express yourself clearly and firmly. No beating around the bush: you need to get to the point. Otherwise, there will continue to be miscommunication and confusion. Like this King, do it impartially and with fairness to all. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Three of Pentacles 

You prefer to work alone, so you may not like the message of the Three of Pentacles. This card is about teamwork, whether that’s asking for advice, collaborating on a project, or simply sharing your work. While you may want to go it alone today, collaboration will garner better results. We promise this won’t turn out like a high school group project, where you do all the work and get no credit.

Aquarius

Your Card: King of Pentacles

The King of Pentacles is a card of financial wisdom. He takes few risks and keeps his kingdom secure by wisely investing his time and resources. If you’re thinking about a promotion or switching careers, start working on your professional goals today. This can look like updating your resume, going to a networking lunch, or finding a new project to take on at work. The King of Pentacles is also generous, so you might even find yourself in a mentoring position, teaching the new kid the ropes. 

Pisces

Your Card: The Emperor 

The Emperor has arrived, and he’s shaking a to-do list in your face. The Emperor represents structure and order, so don’t daydream the day away. If there are rooms to be cleaned, the Emperor will do a white glove check, so get cracking. Organization will be key today. Once you’ve gotten everything done, you can spend some well-deserved time catching up on your stories.
