Design: YourTango, Photo: Handmadefont, Canva Your zodiac sign's one-card tarot horoscope is here for August 19, 2025. The tide is beginning to turn as the Sun prepares to enter a new solar season, and the Moon is in Cancer, the sign it rules. What's ahead is comfort in the form of tradition and predictability, which can backfire on you.
Cancer is the astrological sign that rules the Chariot. Keywords for this tarot card include strength, determination and grit. The Moon sets the tone for us emotionally, but with the Sun at a critical degree in Leo, our egos are prone to prioritizing pride over logic. What appears to be the easy way out may hinder us from seeing what we need to do, including being agreeable. What might we refuse to work on today? Let's consult the tarot to find out.
