Your Zodiac Sign's One-Card Tarot Horoscope For August 1, 2025
Here's what each zodiac sign needs to know about this Friday, according to the tarot.

On the first day of the month, August 1, 2025, we have some intense energy around us, and we may see some of that in the interpretation of each zodiac sign's daily tarot horoscope for the day. Overall, since the Sun is in Leo, there's a natural inclination toward wanting to be recognized and respected, of course.
The Moon is in Scorpio, so we are evaluating how people treat us closely. Venus is in trouble, though, as she hits a harsh tone with both Saturn and Neptune. It's time to wake up about matters related to love. And, what we see prompts each astrological sign to evaluate how we work in relationships (like it or not)! Let's find out what else is in store this Friday.
