On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, the daily tarot horoscope for each zodiac sign takes on a new tone. The Moon leaves the emotional landscape of Pisces to enter a more agitated placement in Aries. We may feel slightly less calm and a bit irritated, because the Moon isn’t happiest in a fire sign.
However, when we view this energy through the lens of the tarot, the Emperor card shows us that our leadership skills are refined and perfected during tough times. So, no matter what you face today, consider it a leadership in training moment. Great leaders learn how to be creative when tension gets high. You may feel this result in your own life today. Things are about to turn upward, and you’re ready to be like cream that rises to the top!
