Today's tarot card for Gemini: The Hanged Man
Gemini, you don't have to listen to or do what other people say to keep the peace. It's better to challenge the status quo and share your unique perspective. You never know who might want to hear what you have to say.
You have a natural way with words, and how you frame ideas can be both inspirational and uplifting, even if you challenge people to think in a new light.
Today, the Hanged Man tarot card could indicate you are the person who helps others see the light. Why would you keep your thoughts to yourself?
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Today's tarot card for Cancer: The Chariot, reversed
Cancer, you are meant for great things, and that path you typically travel starts with an emotion. However, feelings can lie to you at times. You might have a bad day and feel like giving up, and it seems easier to quit than to keep going.
Today's tarot card, the Chariot reversed, is about struggle. You might see the road ahead as a steep hill that takes too much time, and the sacrifice doesn't make sense in light of what's expected of you.
Should you face a moment where you feel negative about your current situation, remember your Big Why, not just the moment you're in at the moment. Focusing on your endgame can provide the motivation you need to stay committed and finish what you started.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)

The message from the Nine of Pentacles, tarot card on August 12, 2025, is to pause. Before you go any further, figure out where you are going. Choosing a new path can feel messy at first, but focus on doing it one step at a time.

Today's tarot card for Sagittarius: Ten of Wands, reversed
Sagittarius, you are a free spirit, and you love to let people live their lives as openly and expressively as you do your own. However, there may be a point in time when you realize that living out your life can cause others to try to judge you for it.
It's good to have open lines of communication, and you are really good at saying what's on your mind. The message from the Ten of Wands tarot in reverse is to set boundaries, perhaps in advance, to make clear what your expectations are.

Today's tarot card for Capricorn: Wheel of Fortune, reversed
Capricorn, you're a hard-working, logical and earthy zodiac sign. You don't mind trying out a little woo, but deep down, you don't always believe it works.

That's where the Wheel of Fortune, reversed tarot card, comes in on August 12, 2025; it helps you to realize that you have to be the one who pursues what you want in life. If it's not coming to you naturally, work for it, and observe how you achieve results from your actions.

Today's tarot card for Aquarius: The High Priestess, reversed
Aquarius, are you going through any intuitive blocks? There are many reasons why it can feel harder to connect to your higher power and hear your inner voice, and many of them don't necessarily have to do with something being wrong.
You can be tired, hungry, or in need of new experiences. Intuition often returns after silence with an important message for you to hear.
You have to work toward your intuition, especially during times when your soul feels disconnected. Today, on August 12, 2025, you may find your way back to your inner source of power and hear things loud and clear.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Today's tarot card for Pisces: Page of Pentacles
Pisces, wanting more from life so you can provide for your family, is a wonderful thing to do. Today, you may find yourself more drawn toward materialistic matters and thinking about how you can build a future you feel secure in.
The Page of Pentacles signifies success in what you do; so if you are worried that you may have your attention diverted in the wrong direction, stop. There is nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy nice things.
