Tarotscope For Today: Wednesday, October 8, 2025

ARIES

Your Card: King of Cups, reversed

It might be daunting to let yourself feel the magnitude of your emotions, but you have to cope with them in a healthy way. Instead of yourself falling into escapism or self-destruction to avoid your feelings, do the brave thing and confront them. If you keep repressing your emotions, sooner or later, it’s going to lead to a breakdown of epic proportions. Face them now, even if it means sitting in the pain or discomfort of it all. There’s no one stronger than you, Aries. You can navigate your way through this situation and move forward from it. 

TAURUS

Your Card: Strength

This is an incredibly stressful time for you, but it’s important that you remain calm and rational and not allow your impulses to take control. As you navigate this challenge, it’s also crucial that you move forward with confidence and self-assuredness. Don’t give into your insecurities, and be mindful not to view this moment as a reflection of your abilities or your character. Everyone struggles from time to time. Everyone comes across failure at one point or another. Everyone has tasted heartbreak and sadness. Everyone knows what it’s like to have to rebuild from scratch. You’re going to bounce back from this, Taurus. 

GEMINI

Your Card: Nine of Swords

Things are not good right now, Gemini. The Nine of Swords indicates that mental anguish, stress, and anxiety are plaguing your life. There’s something keeping you up at night. What is it? It may not be as bad as you think it is. And if it is, then it’s important that you remember everything in life has a solution except death. It might not feel like it at the moment, but you will overcome this situation. In the meantime, reach out for help, whether it’s from someone you love and trust or a professional. Don’t keep your fears to yourself. Talking them out might make this adversity seem more manageable. 

CANCER

Your Card: Queen of Swords, reversed

Cancer, you have such an immense heart that often you put others above yourself. Being that selfless is admirable, but not when it comes to your own detriment. The Queen of Swords greets you in reverse to urge you to place yourself first in whatever decision or situation you’re currently facing. Don’t sacrifice your joy, your passions, your values in order to make someone else happy. You can’t always satisfy everyone’s expectations of you, nor should you try to. It’s not selfish to act in your own best interest — not when it comes to this. Prioritize yourself here. If it changes any of your relationships, then maybe those connections need to be reevaluated. 

LEO

Your Card: Eight of Swords

If lately it feels like you’re stuck or restricted in some aspect of your life, you should stop to think whether it’s a confinement of your own thinking. Sometimes our perception becomes our reality. Are you dealing with obstacles or self-imposed limitations? The Eight of Swords is a sign that you’re currently acting as your own worst enemy. Things like harmful self-talk, a negative mindset, and outdated beliefs manifest into our world as stagnancy and failure. What mental obstacles do you need to break free from to stop feeling so helpless in your present situation? What life-altering changes do you need to implement to move forward? How can you be more proactive about shifting your perspective?

VIRGO

Your Card: Five of Cups

The Five of Cups encourages you to hold space for the difficult emotions that are currently weighing you down, and to do so with grace and without judgment. It’s okay not to be okay. Everyone experiences loss. Everyone fails from time to time. Everyone knows what it’s like to fall apart. Let yourself feel what you’re feeling, Virgo. You must, in order to grieve this loss, heartbreak, or disappointment. But while you embrace the pain and sadness, it’s important that you also welcome the potential for healing. Imagine what comes next. Hold on to hope. More joy, more love, more opportunities will come your way. 

LIBRA

Your Card: Three of Pentacles, reversed

You don’t deal well with conflict, but it’s important that you don’t sweep this issue under the rug. Or else, one day you’ll find yourself tripping over the mountain it has become and landing flat on your face. Address any disharmony that exists in your life right now. Clear up any miscommunication. Express your thoughts and emotions. It might be daunting to approach this person, but you’re going to feel so relieved afterwards, whether they take it well or not. Stay true to yourself, Libra. You can’t keep swallowing your feelings in order to keep the peace. Lay it all out on the table. You’ll be glad that you did. 

SCORPIO

Your Card: The World

The World is a card of personal fulfillment, success, and completion. When it shows up in a reading, it urges you to close off old chapters and tie up loose ends. It’s a reminder that in order to welcome in renewal, you must finish what you started or leave behind what has run its course in your life. What do you need to let go of and move on from, Scorpio? What endings could turn out to be blessings? What new opportunities do you want to attract? What changes can you make in your life now to make room for them?

SAGITTARIUS

Your Card: Page of Wands, reversed

It’s great that you’re feeling that spark of inspiration and creativity, but be careful not to hit the ground running so quickly. The best things take time and effort, Sagittarius. What you need to do is to give your idea time to grow into something more solid. Spend some time developing it and brainstorming the right approach for bringing it to life. Map out your steps. Nurture it into something more tangible. Take this tiny seed, plant it, tend to it, and watch it blossom into something incredibly. The right approach will come to you

CAPRICORN 

Your Card: Ace of Swords

If things have been feeling murky or confusing lately, know that your breakthrough is near. Whatever answers you have been waiting on will come to you in the coming days, Capricorn. And whatever answers don’t, then it’s important that you get out there and find clarity on your own, even if it means demanding it. Be direct. Ask for honesty. Trust your gut if it tells you something is off about a situation or person. Let your instincts lead you into making the right decision. If you’ve been lying to yourself, do the brave thing and shatter those illusions. The Ace of Swords urges you to leave your emotions and out of it and get to the truth. 

AQUARIUS

Your Card: The Lovers, reversed

Does something in your life feel out of alignment? Is there a major imbalance you need to address? Have you experienced a situation where you felt like you had to compromise yourself? The Lovers in reverse points to a serious disharmony or lack of equilibrium in your present. It could be in one of your relationships, your job, or your personal life. Maybe you’re placing too much focus on work and not your life at home. Perhaps you’re feeling neglected in your relationship, or you have been denying your needs to please others. Whatever the case, this card calls on you to fix what you need to fix to fall back in love with your life. 

PISCES

Your Card: Four of Wands

The Four of Wands is a reminder that life is too short not to celebrate every win, every blessing, and every milestone — no matter how big or small. Set aside some time this week to do just that. Wherever you’ve had a personal success or you’re just feeling grateful for the relationships in your life, gather with your loved ones and indulge in respite. You deserve it, Pisces. Savor the beauty and sweetness of the here and now. No matter where you’re at in the journey, know that you have come far. It’s important that you take note of that so you can open yourself up to wonderful new possibilities.
