Each Zodiac Sign's One-Card Tarot Horoscope For May 1, 2025
Denial about the truth is at high risk today.

On May 1, 2025, the one-card tarot horoscope for each zodiac sign involves a highly active Moon, which speaks to Venus, Neptune, and the Sun. The Moon enters the sign of Cancer, bringing water and emotional energy into our daily tarot card reading. With the Moon entering an emotional sign, then entering two very challenging situations with Venus and Neptune, there's a risk of becoming overwhelmed by our emotions, and denial can creep in.
The Moon in Cancer directs us to the Chariot tarot card, which reveals how we feel when doing hard things. We want to give up; sometimes we think quitting will be easier than finishing what we've started. The truth is that when you hang on and stay the course, time flies quickly, and you feel satisfied that you didn't give in to your fears.
