💜 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 💜
Hi, hello my lovely readers and welcome to 2025! Congratulations on making it through another post-covid year (because let’s be honest, things are as hard as they’ve ever been.) 2024 had some great and terrible astrology and 2025 is only going to turn up the heat as Jupiter, Saturn, and the Nodes will all be changing signs. While this can bring some chaotic energy, it’s also a wonderful opportunity for change. The cool thing about being an astrology nerd is that if you know the winds will be shifting, you can adjust your sails accordingly. I won’t bog you down with the all of the details, but I am here to let you know what to expect for the year ahead with some classic Sidereal Maven tarotscopes.
In order to get the most of out these tarotscopes, please read for your Sidereal RISING and MOON sign. If you happen to have a stellium in one sign (3 or more planets, including rising + POF) then you can read for that sign as well. Not sure if you have a stellium? Check out this post.

Deck used: The Wild Unknown Archetypes Oracle by Kim Krans*
*(I know this is technically an oracle deck but oraclescopes just don't sound as cool!)
♈️ Aries
Card: The Vision
Shuffled Song: The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
Have you ever felt like you were meant to be doing something more with your life? I mean in a making a meaningful impact on the world and making it a better place kind of way? Well that’s because you are, Aries. The first fire sign of the zodiac was always meant to live a life uniquely their own and inspire others to do the same. But what does that Ultimate Dream look like for you? What your vision for yourself and your life? Forget what you have been told is impossible or the voices that whisper you are unworthy of your wild imaginings. These visions come to you for a reason and it is not another’s place to decide if it can happen or to who. In 2025, your job is to clean out whatever is getting in the way of your creative process. That listless, aimless feeling that leads to reckless, impulsive decisions needs to be redirected towards making your life your own again. The next time you feel like you need to act, ask what action will bring your vision closer to reality. Trust that every step, no matter how small, is getting you there. When you’re feeling stuck, think back on what inspired you as a child, what art draws you in over and over again. Here lies the answers you seek.
♉️ Taurus
Card: The Dead End
Shuffled Song: White Noise by PVRIS
Have you ever got the end of a book or movie only to feel like it ended too soon? Now you’re left staring at a blank page or screen, none of your questions answered, overthinking the ending and desperate for more. That’s what the Dead End card is like, Taurus. It doesn’t matter how many times you hit rewind, the ending is going to be the same. Whatever is “ending” in your life this year is a way of seeing and identifying yourself, a way of living and being. Your beliefs, attitudes, and goals are shifting in a way that can feel unplanned and uncontrollable. After all, you’re someone who likes to know what is coming next. Perhaps you’ve planned on this for so long you never considered you’d need a back up plan. Well, you do. In 2025, your mission is to make peace with the Dead End, the path that can be traveled no more, the door that cannot be opened. Yes you can be angry, you can grieve, but don’t stay here. Take time to make sure you’ve understood the lesson and open your eyes to the other paths opening up around you. Whichever one you pick, relief awaits you on the other side.
♊️ Gemini
Card: The Healer
Shuffled Song: All Star by Smash Mouth
No one pulls this card unless they’ve been wounded, Gemini. I’m sorry you’ve been feeling down in 2024, but the bright side is your 2025 is going to be spent focused on your healing. Don’t groan, that’s a good thing! It’s time to rip off the band aid and let that thing air out. I know you’ve read thirty-two articles online about to deal with it and that despite it all, you still feel unsure if you’re truly ever “healed.” If you think healing means looking, feeling and being exactly the same as you were before it happened, then I hate to break it to you. You’re not allowed to go back to levels you’ve already passed through and you have to move on to the next one. That means following your intuition about what is going to make you feel better and trusting yourself to know what you need. The process of healing is less about achieving perfection and more about remembering what good feels like. To do that you will have to look within and get some fresh air (so get off the internet!)
♋️ Cancer
Card: The Heart
Shuffled Song: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndie Lauper
When was the last time you felt your heart touched, Cancer? Perhaps it was while listening to a certain song or the laugh of your favorite person. Maybe it’s mid brush stroke while painting or that one scene from that one movie? You know the one. I’m talking about the kind of genuine, spontaneous love that shoots you right in the chest and makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Your mission in 2025 is to remember and reclaim this feeling. This requires looking past your frustrations at daily life and underneath the grief that seems to creep up on you at night. There are always going to be things to be upset about, to grieve and scream about. And I’m not saying you shouldn’t… but I am saying, you have to balance that out with something soft. Something silly and lighthearted. There needs to be routine, fool proof ways to re-energize yourself in your life. What can you do every day to make yourself smile? Prioritize it! You don’t just deserve it, you need it.
♌️ Leo
Card: The Judge
Shuffled Song: Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears For Fears
Have you ever felt yourself being judged, Leo? Of course you have, we all have. But at what age did you realize that your biggest critic was the voice inside your own head? Have you noticed the way it sometimes leaks out of your own mouth and begins to judge others too? It might feel automatic, predestined, happening before you can stop yourself and then all the sudden you watch the word “respect” crumble before your eyes. The thing you work so hard to earn and keep. In 2025, your mission is to get to the bottom of this voice and determine: who’s voice is that? Is it one or multiple? And was it ever truly you? Think about how every time you’re about to break a rule, you hear your parent’s voice in your heard warning of the consequences. That’s not your voice, it’s theirs. The next time you find yourself judging yourself or others, stop to ask: who’s voice is that? Do I believe this enough to repeat it? Is it your belief or theirs? And if it truly does belong to you then think carefully about how you voice your opinion, to who, and in what context. Your words carry the strength of a lion and they will be felt. Make your voice one of discernment, advocacy and compassion.
♍️ Virgo
Card: The Ring
Shuffled Song: Crimson and Clover by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
When’s the last time you grounded yourself, Virgo? It’s easy to become disconnected from ourselves between the work that calls us, the work that demands we show up, and the constant cycle of daily routines. Despite knowing you need something more satisfying, you’ve probably spent all of December planning out your 2025 down to the last detail. While I admire your ambition, I have to wonder, did you schedule out some time for connection? For visiting with family, hanging out with friends, for nature walks and your neglected hobbies? Probably not. Your mission in 2025 is to make connecting a priority. You get to choose how and who; friends, family, teammates and community members, even the earth, even yourself. But you have get out of your head, out of your calendar and out of your phone. Otherwise, you risk staying in the cyclical montage training scene that is only supposed last a few moments before the daring protagonist sets out on their quest. So go head, buy yourself some new shoes and get outside! Adventure is waiting.
♎️ Libra
Card: The Box
Shuffled Song: No Wind Resistance! by Kinneret
Do you ever feel like the walls are closing in on you, Libra? From the expectations of others, to the social constructs that dictate what is and isn’t allowed, to the rule of law that sits ominously over our shoulders, it might feel like “breathing room” is just a myth. Perhaps you’ve gotten comfortable with the walls that have been drawn around you year after year, maybe even erected a few of your own. But in 2025, the dissatisfaction that comes with stagnancy could turn into some serious zoochosis. At some point, structure and order fails to meet our needs and continuing to conform to it puts us at risk. This year, your mission is to break free of the box that you’re in. This isn’t easy; you will have to come into new levels of self-awareness and have the courage to face the mirror. You might even find that some of the limitations that have been holding you back are self-imposed. As frustrating as it can be, try not to be too angry at yourself. The box that restrains you now once kept you safe.
♏️ Scorpio
Card: The Bardo
Shuffled Song: The First Cut Is The Deepest by Sheryl Crow
Just when you think that all has come to an end, a light appears in the dark. Ever so slowly it grows into a glowing beam of truth, enveloping you in divine truth. You have entered Limbo, Scorpio. It’s that liminal space between one life and the next. The version of you that has passed and the one that is slowly becoming. Whether you’re grieving the path that just dead ended or frustrated over how long it’s taking to jump into the next thing, 2025 is all about learning to embody the inbetween. On the surface this period of time may feel like it’s full of nothing but shadow, but you must dig beneath the surface of your grief and listen carefully. Right now, you have just the right amount of distance from what has happened to see it and yourself more clearly than ever before. This puts you in a wonderful position to decide where you’re going next. To forgive yourself, to love yourself, to heal the wounds left behind. Pay close attention to intuitive messages you receive during this time and allow them to gestate without needing to act immediately. You’ll know when you’re ready to move forward.
♐️ Sagittarius
Card: The Father
Shuffled Song: Ignorance by Paramore
What does it mean to be a good father, Sagittarius? Ideally, a father is supportive, wise and honest. He leads by example and nurtures a healthy self esteem in his offspring. He is a protector and guardian to his family. But as we know all too well, every father, no matter how good or ideal, whether by choice or by nature, eventually abandons us. We must all grow up and learn how to lead ourselves, which is impossible in his presence. Your mission in 2025 Sagittarius, is to stop letting the wins and failures of your father(s) define you and what you believe is possible for your life. Instead of internalizing the limitations of those who came before you, understand that recognizing these limitations is the first step to overcoming them. Regardless of your relationship to your father(s), they gave you what you need to succeed and surpass them. Ancestral wisdom is available to you at all times when you’re willing to learn from others. And remember; even their absence holds a lesson.
♑️ Capricorn
Card: The Crone
Shuffled Song: Gooey by Glass Animals
The entire world is on fire, but it doesn’t phase you, does it Capricorn? You were the first to point it out and the last to learn how to ignore it, because there was no changing a world determined to burn itself down. “It is what it is,” becomes your go-to motto in these trying times. While refusing to assign moral judgements to things and minding your business can be effective strategies, you need to be careful of allowing your jaded attitudes to ostracize you from your community. Your wisdom should be used to help and guide, not withheld out of bitterness or spat in frustration with a side of condescension. Your mission in 2025 is to learn how to embody the role of the Elder; this requires you to stay connected to the part of yourself that believes in the youth and their ability to create a better world, when armed with the right knowledge and tools. Use your experience as a means of preparing them for what comes next, not tearing them down. And most importantly; keep your compassion alive.
♒️ Aquarius
Card: The Self
Shuffled Song: I Got You Babe by Sonny & Cher
How well would you say you know yourself, Aquarius? There are the assigned identifiers of course; gender, sex, race, class, ethnicity, etc. There are the roles you play: child, parent, sibling, friend, employee, coworker, etc. Then there are the labels for what you do; job description, hobbies, and such. There are the things you like; movies, books, songs. But what about the You underneath all of that? I’m talking about the self you are when no one else is around and there are no expectations for you to be anything. Your mission in 2025 is to get close and intimate with your deepest, most authentic self. The great news is that you just spent this last Saturn cycle learning all about what is NOT you, but the bad news is it might have left you feeling tired and lacking purpose. When feeling overwhelmed by the world and everything it wants you to be, retreat into yourself and ask: What do you want? What makes you happy? And how can you choose it as if no one else will see?
♓️ Pisces
Card: The Maiden
Shuffled Song: But Daddy I Love Him by Taylor Swift
Do you remember your first love, Pisces? Back when you were too young to anticipate heartbreak and every longing glance held untapped potential. Some say that first loves are the only true loves, as one can never open their heart again the same way after it’s been broken. And yet, we can and do learn to love again, over and over. Your mission in 2025 is to fall in love as if it was the first time for the second time, but first you’re going to have to admit that you want it and get over your fear of trusting again. Recognize the moments in which you choose to daydream instead of connect, when you choose to pretend instead of act. How you might try to deny instead of live in the truth of your desire and past hurts. When you feel like running, ask a question instead. When you don’t feel good enough, remember you are inherently worthy. And when you start to feel too old to feel young again, remember your inner child lives within you always. (And they’re begging to be let out!)
Thank you for reading! I wish you many blessings in 2025 💜
With Jupiter going direct in Gemini yesterday on the 4th & a new moon currently, there seems to be a lot of emphasis on bettering your communicating skills, perhaps especially with yourself when it comes to self-love as we are currently in the shadow period of an upcoming Venus RX. The astrological transits represent a series of seasons and cycles within our life, where we are constantly learning, shifting and growing. Some questions for introspection that will lead to higher elevation on your spiritual journey - How can you genuinely heal in away, that is truly communicative to your needs? How do you find your center despite all the chaos in the world around us?

Happy April! Read these tarotscopes for your sun, moon, rising, and Venus signs to see what this month has in store for you 🌫️
Aries
Two of Swords, Reversed
You already know the decision you need to make. You've been pulled between these two choices for a while now, but you've been too afraid to make the one you want to make. The way is clear for change now. No matter how afraid you are, you need to make the decision now or you will find yourself trapped and unhappy in your current situation. Make the choice. Create the change. It's time.
Taurus
The Tower
Big change is coming to you this April, but don't panic. So often the premature panic surrounding the appearance of the Tower card is what does most of the damage. Submit to the change; when things fall apart, it's only so something new can be rebuilt. Big things are coming your way, but your life doesn't have room for them all without clearing out some of the old. Change is good. Change is a natural part of life, so let everything go so you can rebuild something greater.
Gemini
Justice
All that is meant to be will be. All that is meant to pass will pass. You will get what you deserve, one way or another - and you deserve good things. No matter your circumstance, you deserve good things. Just make sure you continue to be deserving of them. Justice is a double-edged sword; lashing out at others unfairly in the meantime won't do you any favors (and might cut much needed ties). You're on the right path, so trust that you will receive what you deserve. Good things will come your way; just wait.
Cancer
King of Pentacles
The wealth you need is coming. It may not come in the expected way, but it is coming. Abundance is yours; peace is yours. Claim it. You will have what you need and more, whether that's through an actual influx of cash this month or the beginning of a new relationship that provides stability. Either way, this month, everything starts to change for you. There will still be struggle down the road, but this is the beginning of the quality of life change you've so desperately needed. Accept it with open arms when it comes.
Leo
Page of Pentacles
Your path isn't over; in fact, it's just beginning. That may feel overwhelming, but see it for what it is: a blank slate of new opportunity. You have the potential for so much growth. You can create this new life for yourself from what you have already been given, so trust the path. Growth is necessary to proceed, so take a quiet moment to ask yourself: What's next? What can be changed, and what needs to be left behind? Abandoning part of yourself may seem terrifying, but in the end, it'll all be worth it. Start your new beginning with joy for what's to come.
Virgo
Six of Wands
This message for you is incredibly urgent: Stop second guessing yourself, or you might find yourself faced with the unintended consequences of your own self-doubt. You are finding success on your path; who cares how other people define it as long as you, yourself, are happy? Trust your instincts. Charge forward with power and faith in what you're doing; nothing can get in your way but yourself.
Libra
Knight of Swords
The time for talking is over; the time for action is now. What's the point of talk if you don't back it up? You can't claim one thing and behave completely contrary to that. That's falsehood, not balance. Keeping the peace doesn't mean taking the path of least resistance, it means doing what's right even when it's hard. Do what's right. Shift your path accordingly; this is your sign for change.
Scorpio
Nine of Wands
You've just begun, and already you're burning out. Don't worry, though: you're far more resilient than even you realize. You have the strength to push through, so finish this out. And whatever you do, don't take on any more projects - you have more than enough on your plate as it is! Finish out what you have before you go back for seconds. I promise there will be time for everything you want to accomplish, so there's no need to rush it all at once. Take your time and finish strong; then, you'll be more than ready to move on to the next chapter. Getting ahead of yourself will only overcomplicate things.
Sagittarius
Queen of Wands
There's a lot of anxiety here, but what's its root? Have more confidence in yourself on this. Trust that you know how to get things done. You already have the inner drive and fire to complete your goals, so what's making you falter? If it's lack of confidence in yourself, it's time to find it; if it's lack of confidence in those around you, maybe you need to change your inner circle. Either way, you know the way forward - all that's left is to take it. Trust yourself; you know what to do next. You've already gotten things started. All that's left is to finish it out.
Capricorn
Eight of Pentacles
You're working so hard towards your goals; don't let up now! You've put in the time and careful, delicate effort towards this, so don't back out at the last second just because you're worried it might not be all you hoped. You're moving towards even better things, so keep working. You'll get there sooner than you think, but if you stop too soon, you might find yourself stopping just short of all you've ever wanted. Keep working; you're almost there!
Aquarius
Five of Cups, Reversed
It's okay to mourn; just remember that not everything is lost forever. There's always a chance to recover what you lost in some form or another. Things don't have to be as they once were. So often, change is for the better, so don't be afraid to take a couple steps back to move forward once more. Remember all you've learned, but don't let the ghost of the past hang over you as you move forward. Change the meaning of the words and find what is forgotten once more.
Pisces
Three of Cups
All will be well. You're going to find the community you've been searching for this April, so open yourself up to the chance to meet new people. Let yourself feel faith in others once more; yes, you've been hurt, but remember that everyone has. Everyone has their own demons. They are no less because of it, and neither are you. Search for function in a friend group rather than perfection. Shallow relationships have their time and place, but that's not what you need right now. Release all that, and look for something real.
