The New Year starts in Capricorn season, lasting until January 19, making it a perfect cosmic time to make wealth and career plans.

Capricorn is an ambitious and driven sign, with a diligent work ethic alongside a success-minded approach.

As such, you can harness these traits to lay the foundations for a productive 2025.

Let’s zoom in on this important life area and see what the tarot predicts is in store for your career this year?

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries: Six of Wands

Meaning: A lucky, successful and progressive year ahead for you in your career Aries – if you play to your strengths and build on your successes (in skill, achievement, and relationships). Go where you know you’re in demand, do what people like from you, give them more.

The months of April, August and December are all windows of opportunity for promotion, windfalls, bonuses and new expansions which bring you just what you need.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus: Five of Coins

Meaning: Collaboration and cooperation are vitally important for you this year Taurus, especially in areas at work that are stressful, unfair, or rapidly changing. You hate losing control, you don’t like change, and you’d prefer to be in charge of the pace of things.

You’re not alone on this and sometimes others can help push back and, together, you can create useful alliances that get things more on your terms. Don’t be a lone voice or rebel. Find allies. Work together.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini: The Hanged Man

Meaning: You have realised in 2024 that everything has its day and then you need a new schtick to remain in the running/at the forefront. Nothing stays the same. Old tactics don’t yield new results. The Hanged Man brings you so many out-of-the-box ideas and options this year.

Please keep a really open mind because the way forward might not be what you currently think it is. And when it comes to any limbos or frustrating areas, please be ready to try new tactics and collaborations. March will be a very interesting and pivotal month.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer: The Hierophant

Meaning: Time to rise, to share, to lead, to become the teacher vs pupil, the master vs apprentice, the one who answers the questions vs asks them. The Hierophant is a powerful energy of leadership and status, expertise and teaching or mentoring.

Whether this is literal, in terms of turning to teaching, or more project/task-led (taking on a person, coaching someone, joining a forum, writing a blog) is up to you. Experience and skill have brought you to this point, don’t be scared to take this next leap. The month of May will bring opportunity.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo: The High Priestess

Meaning: You are going to come closer to your true destiny and life calling in your career in 2025! And it all comes from within, so don’t listen to others, follow their advice, or feel a comparison envy to people doing well.

You are on your own journey, my friend, and from July I think you’ll feel like you know what it is and what’s next, so be patient and don’t do anything rash or radical. Let this story unfold mentally and spiritually. Listen to your gut instinct. Meditate regularly. There is great insight ahead. Follow it!

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo: Queen of Cups

Meaning: Emotional satisfaction and pleasure will be the reward of your career in 2025, a sense of belonging, feeling valued, liking your colleagues or clients, and enjoying getting up in the morning and going to work! And it doesn’t get better than that, right?

The Queen of Cups asks you to settle in, make friends, get comfortable, relax a bit, and look for things you like and love about your job… and simply do more of them! Sometimes you can tense up over tasks or deadlines too much. Loosen the reins a bit, and enjoy your work wholeheartedly.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra: Ace of Wands

Meaning: The Ace of Wands hints that a new role is in the pipeline for you, Libra, maybe in the months of April, August or December. It could even be a refresh, upgrade, or expansion of your current role so don’t panic if you feel settled.

The Ace of Wands is positive, inspired, creative, and joyful. Sometimes it relates to education or travel, so those elements may be involved. It can also point to something you authentically wanted to do in the past but never got around to… that time is coming again!

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio: Two of Coins

Meaning: Abundance, variety, and a plethora of new options and ideas mark your career progress in 2025 – a great year, a big year, a year in which you must keep saying yes! The more you do, the more will come your way and the more you’ll find that you can do.

Rewards will match efforts. The months of January, May and September look extra rewarding. You will be busy and in demand, and you will handle it all with great elegance and competence. This is a year to strut your stuff career-wise!

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius: Eight of Cups

Meaning: Don’t let minor setbacks get you down in 2025 – whether that be project or task based, or broader applications and hopes. Whatever you lose out on, or misfires, will be swiftly and magnificently replaced and upgraded by the Universe.

There’s a karmic balance to your career this year, a yin and yang. Every lost opportunity will double back even bigger and better, within two weeks each time. So, never get downhearted. Your Jupiter ruler has got your back. What isn’t meant to be won’t come to pass, and what is… will.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn: Eight of Swords

Meaning: Okay, it’s not necessarily ‘them’, Capricorn, it might actually be ‘you’! So don’t be too quick to point the finger or enter into a blame culture, no matter if others are doing it or you’re sorely tempted. It won’t work. All positive progress in 2025 is made by you analysing your actions, results, ideals, and outcomes.

Simply focus on you. Simply work on yourself. That effort will never be wasted, whereas trying to influence, change, or pin stuff onto other folk is a waste of effort, it won’t stick. Work on yourself and by August you will have made such major breakthroughs, you won’t believe it!

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius: Death

Meaning: 2025 is a year of career transformation. By November, things could be very, very different, and you will be amazed (both at the positive outcome and the radical shift).

Death is the tarot’s transformation and makeover card, it changes things, it kills off the negative, false, or unrewarding energies in your life and welcomes in new news. It’s about rebirth and renewal. If you are thinking of retraining, upgrading, changing pathways then this card is the omen you want to see. Embrace change in 2025.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces: Judgment

Meaning: Judgment brings a powerful wake up call regarding your career, a positive one, a game-changing one. It will have landed by November, so be patient, and it will definitely change things. The crux of it will be about recognising your true strengths, talent, and therefore purpose.

This realisation will motivate you to step onto a path that feels like destiny vs just more work. This is so awakening and enlightening and re-energising that it’s like being born again! You are clear, at last, about who you are and what you really want.
