Your Tarot Reading For The Second Half Of 2025, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
Somehow, magically (or maybe even miraculously), we’ve made it to the second half of 2025. The first part may have felt like a whirlwind, but have no fear: we still have plenty of time to make the most of this year. If you don’t start now, then when?
But of course, there are always things that are out of our hands, and we can’t know for sure what the second half of the year will bring us. That being said, tarot cards can predict the general energies we’ll be dealing with and can give us a map of what to expect going forward. It’s only when we know what we’re up against that we can figure out how to deal with it—and if we’re ready, well, then, it’s possible we may be able to maneuver rocky terrain completely unscarred.
So to prepare you for what’s to come, we asked the cards what every zodiac sign can expect from July to December—you can find your reading below, according to your sun, moon, or rising sign:
Aries
Your card: Two of Wands, Reversed
The second half of 2025 is asking you to look within—something that is not always the easiest for a zodiac sign who prefers to live out in the world and experience things firsthand. But that fiery, outward energy has its limits, especially if you haven’t taken the time to make sure you’re nurturing yourself from within, too—not just emotionally, but also spiritually and existentially. It’s time to focus on and figure out your own sense of purpose and and align your thoughts and actions with your values, because it’s only when you do this that you’ll be able to move forward and grow. You understand your place in the outer world, and now it’s time to truly root yourself within your inner world.
Taurus
Your card: Two of Cups
The second half of the year is all about love for you, Taurus—about giving it, about receiving it, about finding it in the places you wouldn’t expect. It’s about loving where you are and what you’re doing. It’s about finding your purpose and sense of well-being in the things that you love. This energy is about learning what makes your cup overflow, and then sharing the excess with the people around you (which is pretty pertinent, considering Venus, your planetary ruler, oversees love, relationships, and beauty). This is all about partnership—between you and another, between you and your environment, maybe even between you and yourself. Follow the love where it flows.
Gemini
Your card: The Fool, reversed
Be careful, Gemini—this is your warning. Going forward, you might find yourself acting recklessly, jumping in without checking if there’s a safety net in sight. You might also be acting naively, trusting the wrong people and situations or wrongly assuming that everything will work out how it’s supposed to. And honestly, maybe that’s because for you, it often does—your whimsical air sign quality usually works in your favor, but it can also be your downfall if you don’t take precautions. Just know that it’s okay to make these mistakes; don’t be too hard on yourself, but learn and grow from these lessons. Stay vigilante and make sure you’re thinking clearly before you agree to throw yourself wholeheartedly into something new.
Cancer
Your card: The Empress
The second half of 2025 is all about abundance for you, Cancer. The Empress is about reaping the fruits of your labor and multiplying your blessings—which can, quite literally, signify pregnancy or children, but it can also simply mean the birth of new ideas, new opportunities, and well-deserved rewards. This is an overwhelmingly positive card and a sign to focus on what you have and practice gratitude—you’re doing great, so be careful that you don’t get stuck on what you believe you lack.
Leo
Your card: Seven of Swords, reversed
Leos are often considered self-confident and self-assured, but sometimes you project that more than you actually feel it. Insecurity is normal, even for you, and it’s something that might be getting under your skin more than normal during the second half of 2025. You might feel a sense of imposter syndrome or even feel like you’re lying to yourself to protect your self-image or beliefs. Whatever it is, your sense of self is murky, and that’s okay—it’s something everyone deals with. You are not less than because you feel this way. You might just have to do a little extra work to feel more solid within yourself, and soon enough, you’ll be shining like the sun once again.
Virgo
Your card: The Hierophant, reversed
The second part of 2025 will be a deeply personal journey for you, Virgo, because at its core, it’ll be about your own personal beliefs. You don’t need a compass or a map; you are your own guide, your own teacher. While Virgos are often known to bend to others’ expectations, this energy is about breaking away from the status quo and following your own authentic path. You don’t have to believe what people tell you to; you don’t have to do things in a certain way just because that’s how they’ve always been done. It’s not always an easy adjustment, but it’s a transformation that will free you.
Libra
Your card: Four of Wands, reversed
In the second half of the year, you might feel like everything has been turned on its head; the stable foundation you’ve been building upon has suddenly begun to crumble. While it’s likely not as dramatic as this sounds, that doesn’t change the fact that you might feel like you’re in a place of insecurity, something that can be particularly hard for you as the zodiac sign of harmony and balance. There may be a lot of change happening around you and to you, and you might not feel like you’re getting the support you need. Remember that in these times, it’s not only okay but absolutely crucial to put yourself first. Your people pleasing ways might get the best of you, but remember: You can’t save someone from drowning from a sinking ship. Invest in yourself.
Scorpio
Your card: The Queen of Wands
The second half of 2025 is about stepping into your own power, Scorpio. It’s about acting courageously, confidently; it’s about understanding your worth and never letting anyone believe you deserve less. This is also an energy that’s about creating your own life—the fiery suit of wands often indicates action, creativity, and passion, meaning that whatever you want to build for yourself, you’re in the perfect situation to do it. The good news is, you won’t have to do it alone—this card is also about social influence, meaning that as long as you put your thoughts and ideas out there for others, it’s likely that people will be quick to follow.
Sagittarius
Your card: Page of Swords, reversed
The second half of 2025 might leave you feeling a little stuck, Sagittarius. It’s like you have a lot of ideas, but you just can’t seem to push forward with any of them, either because you’re struggling to find the motivation or because of outside circumstances. You may struggle to make plans or choose to act without fully thinking through your steps, ultimately leaving you nowhere. While this is a frustrating energy that may leave you feeling restless (or even reckless), you might have to force yourself to take a step back and really consider a logical, reasonable plan of action. You’ve got such a untethered, brilliant brain, Sagittarius—make sure you’re not standing in your own way when it comes to seeing your dreams come to fruition.
Aquarius
Your card: Ace of Wands, reversed
The second half of 2025 might be a bit of a struggle for you, Aquarius, if only because you can’t quite seem to pin down what you want or where you’re going. You might lack direction or discipline right now, instead choosing to give into distractions or your daily whims, or it might even feel like everything is working against you, like no matter what you do, you’re being thwarted by the powers that be. Whatever it is, you’re ready to move on, to start anew, but for some reason, you just can’t. When this feeling gets overwhelming, it’s important to sit down and be really, really honest with yourself: Is it on you? And if so, is there a reason you’re resisting truly moving forward? If it’s out of your control, is there a way to pivot? Sometimes, our plan Bs work out for the better—just keep an open mind.
Capricorn
Your card: The Devil, reversed
If you’ve been struggling this year, Capricorn, I have some good news for you—some of that weight is going to be getting a little lighter in 2025. Ironically, The Devil’s astrological ruler is Capricorn, meaning that you’re all too familiar with this tarot card’s restrictive energy; but when it’s in reverse, you’re being offered the chance to let go of self-limiting beliefs and to cut out the unhealthy attachments that have held you back from growth and self-enlightenment. This is truly a deep transformational energy, and as long as you’re willing to go on the difficult journey, this could change your life forever—and become a reminder that whatever you’re going through, you truly do have the power in your own life.
Pisces
Your card: Eight of Swords
The second half of this year might feel restrictive or stagnant for you, Pisces—it’s like no matter what you do, you just can’t move forward. You feel like you’re at the whim of circumstances beyond your control. But are you? Because the truth about this card is often something deeper, more hidden. Feeling stuck is normal, but how often are we actually unable to move? And how often is it just a state of mind? Everyone has choices, Pisces, and while you’re not the most decisive zodiac sign (thanks, water energy), the truth is, you can choose to start walking in any direction you want—backward, forward, maybe even left or right. Just because the path isn’t linear doesn’t mean it’s not movement. Give yourself more credit than that and remember: You have more power in this situation than you’ve been lead to believe.
