The tarot cards have spoken: has this year only been 12 months or 12 years rolled into one? 2024 has been a blur—full of highs, lows, and everything in between. Feeling the weight of the world has been unavoidable and relentless and exhausting could be two words to describe this mad ride. If anything it’s made us appreciate the quiet joys and recognise what matters most.
As the year officially comes to a close, and whether you’re totally over it and you’ve tapped out in advance, or you’re hopeful that the best is still to come, the message is clear: catch your breath and focus on what you can control.

Then looking ahead to 2025, it’s about finding balance, remaining level-headed, and being part of the change we want to see. Starting on a personal level, the tarot can offer some insights to help you navigate what might be coming your way. Read on for guidance according to your zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21 — April 19)
Tarot Card: Queen of Wands
The Queen of Wands is coming in hot for you, Aries, and it’s all about transformation. 2025 is going to be a year of self-discovery, releasing some inhibitions along the way and reclaiming desires that have been buried under a pile of expectations (not all of them yours). Burnout is a sign that you need to course-correct, not something to push through. Prioritise experiences that make you feel more connected with yourself and your intuition, and you’ll be unstoppable.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
Tarot Card: Ten of Pentacles
According to the Ten of Pentacles, blessings will be coming through for you in abundance, Taurus—if you allow yourself to get into receiving mode. Is it luck, or is it time to let the network and resources you’ve nurtured over the years actually hold you when you need it? There’s enough to go around, so don’t let a sense of scarcity trick you into being cheap with yourself. You’re worth it, and you’ve probably earned it, too. Prioritise spending more time with your family and chosen family; you know better than anyone that together is better.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
Tarot Card: Four of Cups
The Four of Cups is your card for the year ahead, Gemini, and outdated coping mechanisms are going to be under the spotlight for you. You aren’t going to be able to intellectualise your way through the life lessons of 2025. How can you accept disappointment and rejection? You’re going to have to feel it to heal it instead—it’s the only way to experience the deep exhale that’s due. It’s time to validate yourself, release what’s been keeping you stuck, and start taking yourself more seriously.
Cancer (June 21 — July 22)
Tarot Card: Eight of Cups
‘Your peace of mind is the key,’ says the Eight of Cups. Cancer, 2025 is the year when the red flags become impossible to ignore. Knowing when to walk away isn’t always straightforward, but when you know, you’ll know. Save your mental health and well-being, and channel your energy into what is working for you. What if not getting what you want is exactly what you need to gain the kind of perspective that changes everything for the better? You could find yourself reevaluating what success means to you.
Leo (July 23 — August 22)
Tarot Card: Four of Pentacles
The material world will be in focus for you, Leo. Your tarot card for 2025 is the Four of Pentacles, and it’s all about wanting to be stable, secure, and protected. This looks like a year when you get serious about investing in your future. But make sure you set aside some funds in your budget to live in the moment, too. The ultimate upgrade is fine-tuning your work-life balance; reflect on your values and priorities, then build upwards around them to future-proof your vision.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
Tarot Card: King of Swords
Perspective is everything for you in 2025, Virgo. The King of Swords is your card for the year ahead. You are innately discerning and observant, but your blind spots will be highlighted. There’s so much potential for change, and it begins with your mindset. Another major theme is communication, and as cliché as it is, it’s about speaking your truth. When you’re unclear with others, you’re setting them up to fail. Remember: it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
Tarot Card: The Wheel of Fortune
Libra, your 2025 tarot card is The Wheel of Fortune, which is associated with Jupiter, the planet of luck, abundance, and expansion. The tables are turning, and you could start seeing a return on your investments. Even if it isn’t notable financial gains, the areas of your life that you dedicate your attention to have so much potential for healing. This card is giving ‘a lot can happen in a year,’ but whatever life throws at you, you’ll leave the year better than you started.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
Tarot Card: Lust
You attract; you don’t need to chase, Scorpio. 2025 is your invitation to redefine what strength means to you and embrace vulnerability. You might experience some power struggles, but the Lust card has come through to show you that trust and surrender can be your superpowers over the next twelve months. Let go of the need to be in control. Sometimes what you resist is exactly what you need. Stay soft. Fully immersing yourself in pleasure and your desires could unlock something for you.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21)
Tarot Card: Ace of Swords
According to the Ace of Swords, 2025 is your year for creating space for newness in more ways than one, Sagittarius. Don’t let your overactive, dopamine-addicted mind lead you astray. When you cut through the noise, that’s when eye-opening realisations and mic-drop moments will find you. Mindful and meditative practices could give you the edge you need, especially when you’re overwhelmed and think you’re too busy. Being intentional can go a long way so start as you mean to go on.
Capricorn (December 22 — January 19)
Tarot Card: The Magician
Capricorn, you’re waking up to your potential. The Magician is your permission slip to fully commit to doing things your way in 2025. This year is all about walking your talk, including some opportunities to take the lead. There will be times when you’ll have to work with what you’ve got, and others when what you need comes through synchronistically—as if by luck, when you’re actually tapping into your magnetism. Let people believe in you; don’t let imposter syndrome or your ego ruin a good thing.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 18)
Tarot Card: Death
Your tarot card for 2025 is Death, but it isn’t as shady as you might think. It’s giving strong rebirth and shedding energy; it’s more about next levels than sad endings. It’s like scrubbing off dead skin to reveal baby-soft smoothness that makes you feel better than new again. What have you been holding on to too tightly? What will letting go make space for? Surrender to the shakedown. It might not be what you want, but it’s what needs to happen. Trust the process, Aquarius.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Tarot Card: Ace of Pentacles
The Ace of Pentacles has come through for you, Pisces, and it is promising opportunities that will help you feel more supported and secure in 2025 (and beyond). What does abundance mean to you? Money can’t always buy happiness, but knowing what’s truly meaningful to you could set you up for long-term success. You might find that life is sweeter in the slow lane. Take your time, and don’t be fooled into rushing into anything. Your dedication to the cause and patience will pay off.
