The daily tarot horoscope for May 17, 2025, comes with the waning gibbous Moon in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. Capricorn rules work, and the waning gibbous lunar phase is about grateful reflection, meaning we are extra thankful for our work on this day. We love to feel the energy of progress, and gratitude fuels greater results. We find satisfaction in putting in a solid day of productivity at our jobs. And, we want to appreciate the fruits of our labor and savor the moment. We have earned it.
There are many opportunities for reflection found in each zodiac time to give thanks for what is, and when we open our hearts to gratitude, it’s a period of deep reflection and love. The takeaway message is to search for joy in everything you do that’s time-consuming. From relationships to career, your work is an extension of yourself. Let’s see what else the tarot reveals for you.
