Tarot Taps for Sunday the 24th of August 2025

🔮 Tarot Tap ~ Sunday, August 24th, 2025

Present Moment

Ten of Pentacles

This is everything you want in your

Legacy, family roots, long-term wealth, and stability. This card shows the bigger picture of life: not just survival, but what we build and pass on. What kind of legacy is being built in your life?

Today, energy is centered on family connections, generational ties, and what kind of foundation is being created. It isn't just about the image it's about the responsibility it takes to acquire those things.

Numerology: 10 = completion, but also transition. Something has reached a “full circle,” yet is asking: what comes after this cycle?

Colorology: Golds and earthy browns = abundance, stability, loyalty.

“The legacy we leave is not in possessions, but in love carried forward.”

“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” – Michael J. Fox

“The best thing you can give your children is roots and wings.”

Conflict

Queen of Wands reversed

The issue here is confidence that has been twisted into insecurity, or passion turned manipulative. Your energy really gets twisted when your confidence is blocked. Your fire dampens so you don't have that boss energy anymore, you don't feel powerfulanymore when you see others just coast, you think its ok for you too, to just coast. It feels like your walking around in defense mode defending all you don't even understand. You feel so insecure like you loss YOU, you see yourself and feel weak and unrecognizable; but more than anything you feel drained completely drained like you don't want to do anything, you'd rather just sleep or continue to stand in the stagnation.

This also shows someone who may misuse charm or act prideful out of fear. Acting like they "are all that "

because deep down inside they feel like nothing. Because of all the conflict in their life they carry too much ego, they want to control everything they carry strong feelings jealousy when anyone makes them feel threatened to lose what they think is theirs! A very fiery spirit misdirected.

Element: Fire, but blocked. Instead of warmth, it burns.

Colorology: Red reversed = anger, selfishness, pride unchecked.

“Insecurity is loud. Confidence is quiet.”

“A Queen does not compete. She knows she reigns.”

“Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.” – Rick Rigsby

Past

Ten of Wands

Heavy burdens, carrying too much, responsibility that felt crushing. The past energy here shows struggle under the weight of obligations maybe carrying things alone, maybe overextending. Trying to keep the peace by overlooking the truth, making excuses to continue to do it all yourself.

**** But the cycle of burden is ending.

Numerology: Another 10 = endings. Two 10s here = a shift out of cycles of heaviness into legacy and clarity.

Element: Fire = action, pressure, labor.

“Carrying the world on your shoulders is exhausting. Set it down, it will spin on its own.”

“Sometimes we are weighed down not by what we carry, but by what we refuse to release.”

Root

Nine of Pentacles reversed

When this card comes up you are NOT living in your independence ‼️

It shows financial, physical, and emotional ties to someone who can't even stand on their own 2 feet.

There is a difference between falling short and refusing to stand.

This is a time you should be flourishing in your own independence, but instead someone is anchoring you to what they lack. Think about what they don't have, have never had, and most likely never will. This is not lack due to hardship, this is lack due to a character flaw. A self-inflicted lack: A condition not born of misfortune but of neglect , where opportunities are wasted, responsibilities avoided, and effort refused.

The Independence compromised, self-sufficiency blocked. At the root, there’s tension between wanting stability and feeling dependent on others (or them on you). It can also signal financial strain or self-worth tied to material success.

Numerology: 9 = nearing completion. Reversed means the lesson isn’t fully integrated yet.

Element: Earth stability in question.

“True wealth is the freedom to stand on your own.”

“Luxury without freedom is just another cage.”

“Some people are poor because of misfortune. Others are poor because of mismanagement, laziness, or pride.” – paraphrased from Aristotle’s Ethics

Crown

Four of Cups Reversed

The fog is lifting a bit in certain ways and you can see it, many of you still choose to ignore, but it's a quick thought....catch it ~ allow yourself to think more on this. What have you been avoiding? Spirit is whispering: “Look again. Do you see what’s really here?” Even if it seems like its too much to pay attention and care aboutit right now allow yourself the awareness allow it to breaking through.

Allow the mind to wake up to other opportunities. Stop ignoring the blessings, there’s a willingness to open eyes and see what’s been missing. You know this is NOT how you envisioned any of this.

****Reversal here is positive it’s the first spark of gratitude after apathy.

Element: Water emotions flowing again.

Colorology: Blue turning upright again = truth, clarity, peace returning.

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.”

“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.”

Near Future

The Star ✨

Soon you will be Healing, renewed, and find your faith again. The Star cones when you are finding clarity, and here in the near future you will.

The Star shows divine hope and cosmic alignment. The near future shows light after darkness, clarity after confusion. It’s a reminder to trust the bigger plan and reconnect to spiritual purpose. Look at yourself who truly makes your eyes light up ? What will make you better so your eyes light up when you shine your loved ones shine too.

Numerology: 17 = 8 → karmic balance, strength, infinite cycles.

Colorology: Indigo, white, starlight = healing, clarity, divine presence.

“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.”

“Stars can’t shine without darkness.”

You & Me

King of Pentacles

Think for a minute who this is in your life: who is the one who is a stable provider and a grounding presence? It is paramount that you really admit who this is in your life. Who is your steady presence? A steady presence is the consistent, reliable energy of someone who provides calm, stability, and strength regardless of circumstances. It is the quiet assurance that does not waver runaway in chaos, the dependable anchor that others can lean on, and the grounded force that fosters trust, peace, and resilience. A steady presence doesn’t chase applause or recognition. It shows up. It listens. It pays the bill without bragging. It remembers the little things, and in doing so, becomes the big thing the very thing that keeps a family, a friendship, or a soul steady.

Who is the grounding energy?

A grounded energy presence is a little different than just being “steady” it’s that earth-rooted calm that keeps everyone else from flying off in the storm. It’s the King of Pentacles, The Empress, or Temperance energy... the rock, the anchor, the one who doesn’t flinch when chaos hits. A grounded energy presence is the calm, stabilizing influence of someone deeply rooted in their values, emotions, and sense of self. They radiate peace, patience, and security not because life is perfect, but because they carry balance inside of them. Being near them makes others feel safe, clear, and steady.

“The strongest trees are not those without storms, but those with the deepest roots.”

This card is also about abundance. This is very important to understand what abundance truly is : Abundance is the state of overflowing fullness not just of money or material wealth, but of love, peace, opportunities, health, creativity, and joy. It is the awareness that life is plentiful, that blessings are not scarce, and that gratitude opens the door to more. Abundance is not about how much you have, but how fully you recognize and use what you already hold.

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.” – Wayne Dyer

In this position, it reflects relationships anchored by someone who brings stability, wisdom, and long-term security. Keep those people around !

Element: Earth tangible, dependable.

“A true King builds not only a kingdom, but a legacy of love.”

“Stability is not found in wealth, but in the wisdom to use it well.”

Abundance isn’t just about overflowing bank accounts it’s about overflowing love, laughter, resilience, and divine favor. It’s waking up and knowing you have breath in your lungs, food on the table, and a chance to live this day well. Abundance is the language of gratitude turned into reality.

External Influence

Two of Cups 💞

A deep pull for Partnerships, needing that soulmate connection, wanting a beautiful union. The external energy is about relationships that mirror love and equality. Outside influences bring balance, cooperation, or spiritual alignment with another.

Element: Water — union of emotion and heart.

“Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.” – Osho

“Two souls don’t find each other by simple accident.”

Hopes & Fears

Eight of Swords reversed

Freedom from mental prisons. This card cones up when you desperately need and want to free yourself from traps of denial and dependency but are fearful that you will stay stuck. Even still the reversal shows you will release yourself eventually but you have to take off the blindfold ‼️‼️

Hopes = release, clarity, liberation. Fears = still slipping back into old patterns of feeling stuck. This shows a strong desire to break free, and the courage to finally stop letting the mind trap itself.

Numerology: 8 = karma, cycles. Reversed, it’s escaping them.

“You are not as stuck as you think you are.”

“Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.” – German Proverb

Outcome

Knight of Pentacles reversed

Let's be honest for a minute somebody in your life is loud in their ways maybe not vocally but people bend over forr this person...and you don'twant to put them out ever, this person is clearly lazy, stagnant, irresponsible, and refusing to grow up. They talk a big talk but lack the follow through. This person lies and makes excuses. The placement for this is the outcome because Spirit wants to make it undeniable: this person will not step up. They drag the energy backwards instead of forwards.

The outcome warns of energy being wasted, of someone resisting responsibility or dragging their feet. The lesson? You can’t build with someone unwilling to move forward.

Element: Earth but blocked. Instead of steady progress, it’s halted growth.

“Don’t expect a harvest from seeds you never planted.”

“Consistency separates winners from dreamers.”

✨ Patterns & Themes

Two 10s (Pentacles + Wands) → Old cycles closing. Burdens lifting, but legacy/family becoming the focus.

Family dreams vs Heavy burdens

Strong Pentacle energy (10, 9 reversed, King, Knight reversed) → Big themes of money, stability, responsibility. This spread is about what’s real and lasting. Money, Stability, and Responsibility...or lack of !

Major Arcana (Star) → A turning point of healing and hope but only through truth.

Reversals (Queen of Wands, 9 of Pentacles, 4 of Cups, 8 of Swords, Knight of Pentacles) → Blocked energies being confronted. A lot of illusions are falling away.

✨ Overall Message:

This spread shows a turning point: moving from heavy burdens and illusions into a moment of healing and renewal (The Star 🌟). The challenge is people who resist growth (Knight of Pentacles reversed, Queen of Wands reversed), but the higher path is clear faith, balance, love, and choosing stability over stagnation.
