Tarotscope For Today: Wednesday, January 1, 2025

Aries

Your Card: Seven of Pentacles

It’s quite fitting that you received the Seven of Pentacles on New Year’s Day, Aries. Today will be like most New Year’s Day. You may find yourself reflecting on 2024, the person you were during that time, the new year ahead, and the person you wish to become moving forward. But the Seven of Pentacles is telling you not to rush. You have big plans for the future and while there is a lot you hope to achieve, take this time to contemplate what you wish to accomplish. I know you’re eager to get things started but slow down today and the next couple of days. It might serve you better in the long run to exist in this stillness. While it’s important to set goals for yourself, make sure that you are playing the long game. You can’t expect yourself to wake up today a completely different person. Though the year has changed, we have only really moved from one day to the next. So don’t burn yourself out trying to do a million things at once because this will only result in you abandoning all the things you hoped to accomplish in the first place. 

Taurus

Your Card: Two of Pentacles

Make sure you are getting off on the right foot this New Year’s Day, Taurus. You are setting the tone for the rest of this year so make sure you get in the right headspace. Who you choose to be today will impact much of your year, just something to keep in mind. This is a very important day for you in particular because the implications it will have on you may last the rest of the year. 

Gemini

Your Card: King of Pentacles

Happy New Year, Gemini! You’ve had quite a transformative 2024 and there are many new beginnings on the horizon for you this year. With that said, though your 2024 was filled with many ups and downs that drained you, today you may finally experience a much-needed moment of stillness. Let go of whatever things you are trying to control and embrace the quiet. Don’t feel like you need to hit the ground running just yet. You will have plenty of time and many opportunities to seize the moment but for right now, give yourself permission to let go and exist in stillness. 

Cancer

Your Card: Three of Wands

The year isn’t the only thing that has changed, Cancer. With the Three of Wands, expect new exciting challenges that will immediately kick things into gear. While many of the other signs will have a bit of time to reflect on their 2024, you are going to be diving head-first into the new year today. You may find yourself juggling a lot but doing so with great ease. Let these areas of your life excite you. Nothing should be draining you, everything should be energizing you today. You may have time tomorrow to reflect but for right now, take action and attack the day. 

Leo

Your Card: Death

Expect great changes today, Leo. The timing with it being New Year’s Day and you receiving the Death tarot card is quite synchronistic. Starting now, your life may look very different than it did last year (AKA yesterday). For most, change doesn’t happen overnight. Even though it’s a New Year, in reality, all we did was move from one day to the next. But for you that might not be the case. You may notice some great changes within yourself helping to initiate a much-needed ego death. This year is going to look very different from years past and so it’s going to require a transformation. Whatever you were doing before to get through life isn’t going to work anymore and you might be realizing that today more than ever. Today is about evolving with the world around you so that you stay ahead instead of getting left behind. 

Virgo

Your Card: Two of Cups

The people you are spending this day with will become very important to you throughout the rest of the year, Virgo, though you may not even realize it now. This could be about a community of people or about one person in particular. Regardless of the context, you and this person (or people) may be embarking on a journey together this year where plot lines begin to intercept thus intertwining you both and forging a stronger connection. They could become your best friend or a romantic partner. In any case, enjoy this day with them. You will have the beautiful chance to create a very meaningful memory that you’ll always be able to look back on and smile about. 

Libra

Your Card: Nine of Swords

You may not be starting this New Year off on the right foot, Libra. Certain things or people from your past that you are unable to let go of may still be haunting you right now. I think you were hoping that just because the year has changed, that all your problems would magically disappear but this isn’t the case. Even though it’s a different year, all your old problems are going to follow you where you go unless you figure out a better way of moving forward. Let go of this negativity or else it’ll continue to plague you. Do what you can to set a better tone for the rest of the year, today. 

Scorpio

Your Card: The Devil

You made a lot of promises to yourself, Scorpio. At the end of 2024, you told yourself that you would finally quit your vices and move towards living a healthier lifestyle. This could mean, quitting some sort of addiction, letting go of that toxic relationship, or working towards smarter financial decisions. And now that it is finally New Year’s Day, you have to actually stick to those promises and follow through. Maybe you thought that when you woke up today those things would be easy to quit just because it’s a new year. But what you may be realizing now is that these goals that you set are going to take work to stick to. Don’t surrender to those vices. Keep those promises you made and every day will get easier. Focus on how happy and accomplished you will feel by staying true to the goals that you set. 

Sagittarius

Your Card: The Empress

As you set out to accomplish those New Year’s resolutions you made for yourself, focus on transforming your outer world first, Sagittarius. Dress the part. Decorate your home in a way that matches the goals you are trying to reach. Hold yourself or dress in a way that embodies the person you want to become. Transforming your outer world will better help your inner world transition with those outer changes. Adjusting your physical presence not only dictates the way that others perceive you, but it also dictates how you perceive yourself. If your goal is to become a better leader, then dress like a leader. If your goal is to lean more into your feminine divine, then dress like a goddess. What you are essentially doing is faking it til you make it. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Queen of Pentacles

Last year brought with it many challenging moments, Capricorn. You may have been tested and challenged to the point of near failure and yet you persevered regardless. Today might be surreal for you because it is completely opposite of where you were a year ago. The Queen of Pentacles suggests that today you are living the life that the universe has prepared you for. Not only is your outer world completely different, but you are completely different. Instead of contemplating the person you hope to become this year or the goals you wish to accomplish, spend the day celebrating who you are now and what you have achieved up to this moment. Enjoy this fresh start, and re-introduce yourself to the world because you are not the same person you once were. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Seven of Swords

You might be dealing with some hurt today that is making it hard for you to let go of the past and embrace the new year, Aquarius. The Seven of Swords indicates some level of betrayal you feel. But you have a choice to make. You can either try and get back at whoever caused you pain, or you can let it go, move forward, and wipe the slate completely clean. You are the sign of forward momentum. You never look back. So don’t start today. Do what you must do but you won’t regret completely letting go. You don’t need to have the last word every time. If anything, the best last word to say is nothing. Silence is louder than words. 

Pisces

Your Card: Seven of Cups

Though you may feel as if you’ve changed and that this New Year promises a completely different chapter that is unique to the life you’ve lived thus far, be cautious. The Seven of Cups suggests that you are repeating the same cycles that you do every New Year’s Day, Pisces. Though you might think life looks and feels different, underneath the surface, you may unconsciously be retracing your steps hoping for a different outcome. Pay close attention to your mindset now and how similar it was to your mindset last year. Again, though the context has changed, your ways of dealing with life may be the same thus creating the illusion of change.
