Tarotscope for Today: Friday, February 28, 2025

Aries

Your Card: Five of Swords.

Defeat is difficult to deal with, Aries, but just like every challenge we face in life, there is a lesson within the experience. The first step is to be fearlessly honest with yourself about what happened without going overboard into harsh, non-constructive self-criticism. Then, analyze the loss to understand how you can best move forward. Because of what we learn about ourselves in its harsh reflection, defeat, like failure, is a part of success. 

Taurus

Your Card: The Star

The journey towards hope isn’t easy – it requires that we are acquainted with feelings like despair and loss. Yet hope is one of the most powerful and pure feelings we get to have in this human experience, and it brings with it both inspiration and renewal. It’s coming right for you, Taurus. It’s hard to maintain optimism on a path marred by adversity and darkness, but you can meet that challenge, and by doing so create the very hope you need.

Gemini

Your Card: The Devil

The excess around you may lead to some heavy temptation you were hoping to avoid, Gemini. Remember that the Devil doesn’t just indicate our relationship to addiction, but also about the nature of our attachments and desires. Think less ‘dark side’ and more ‘shadow self.’ Listen carefully to your inner voice, you may be ignoring parts of your higher self. Use this time to face your desires and confront your demons. 

Cancer

Your Card: The Hierophant, Reversed

You can embrace your spirituality while questioning the systems set forth by religious institutions. We each ultimately choose what we bring into our lives, and that includes traditions and sometimes even rules, Cancer. Examine what it is you’re seeking from these external systems, and see if you have the strength and resources to find those answers within. Our personal rituals can be as important to our healing and growth as those passed down through the centuries.

Leo

Your Card: Three of Pentacles, Reversed

You’re feeling more frustrated with people than usual, Leo, especially those you have to collaborate with on a regular basis. Working in groups can be challenging, but it feels like your usual leadership tactics are failing you. It might be a sign to fall back and just work as one of the team instead of taking on so much. Let yourself learn from a new group dynamic. Your team can inspire and contribute to your progress in mastering a variety of skills.

Virgo

Your Card: King of Swords

You’ve got your wits about you today, Virgo, and you’re in the perfect mindset to make the big life decisions you’ve known were coming. You’ll be able to focus on the analytical and objective aspects of the decision, and your wisdom will guide you towards the most logical path. Your cool head may have others encouraging you to take charge of a particularly difficult decision. 

Libra 

Your Card: Nine of Cups

The Nine of Cups is considered the wish fulfillment card. What would you wish for, Libra, if you knew it would be yours? It can feel like you have your pick of your wildest dreams – and you do. There may be moments today where the alignment feels so perfect it might be a dream. Enjoy what you have and what you’ve created in this moment. Contentment pairs well with gratitude. 

Scorpio

Your Card: Two of Swords

You just don’t feel right about making a decision yet because you don’t have enough information, Scorpio, but be careful that your insistence on information gathering isn’t procrastination in disguise. Try to evaluate what you feel you need to make the decision and why. You may also find yourself at the other end of the scale, where you’re so overwhelmed with information you’re in a state of analysis paralysis. 

Sagittarius

Your Card: Seven of Cups, Reversed

Dreaming is an important part of creation, and you now have something that has inspired you and that you aspire to, Sagittarius. Instead of just dreaming today, you’ll find yourself playfully exploring options and tinkering with ways to bring those ideas and dreamscapes of yours into reality. There is no path towards a brighter future that doesn’t involve imagining something better that we can strive towards. 

Capricorn

Your Card: Temperance, Reversed

You have a lot going on, and some of the activities are directly clashing with each other. Instead of constantly tasking yourself to maintain balance in an imbalanced situation, give yourself a chance to reevaluate your path, Capricorn. There’s no need to carry that which won’t help you, and sometimes the medicines of our past can quickly turn into the addictions in our future if we don’t learn when to let go.

Aquarius

Your Card: Eight of Wands, Reversed

It feels like everything has come to a complete crawl, and all the explosive motion you were hoping for has fizzled and slowed to a crawl. Plans will hit unexpected delays and there’s far more miscommunication than you’re comfortable with. Don’t give into your tendency to overanalyze, Aquarius. Don’t beat yourself up. Some days just aren’t as productive as others, and often the reasons can be entirely out of your hands. 

Pisces

Your Card: Strength

You’re going to have all the courage you need to do the thing, Pisces. The sort of strength you’ll show is the type where your gentler side prevails. Compassion and bravery is the best way to face the conflict you have to resolve, and shows a high level of self-mastery and discipline. It is by bringing calm to an otherwise tempestuous and unpredictable situation that you will win the day.
