Astrology and tarot do something many need—they help us slow down and check-in. While the stars laid out the big cosmic patterns, tarot cards tap into your gut, your emotions, and your now. Together, they’re like a weather report for your soul. You don’t have to believe in fate or magic to get something out of them. You just need a moment of honesty with yourself—and maybe a little curiosity about what’s shifting today. Let’s see what June 12, 2025, has in store.
Tarot in the Stars Horoscope
Today’s got that liminal feeling—like you’re standing at a doorway you didn’t realize you were about to walk through. There’s nothing dramatic happening, necessarily, but something in the air feels like it’s asking you to slow down. To listen in. To actually feel.
The Sun is still in Gemini season, which means the mental buzz hasn’t totally let up. There are still a million ideas flying around, and there is still pressure to respond, reply, and keep up. But something’s shifted. Jupiter just moved into Cancer, and that alone changes the emotional weather. Suddenly, the chaos feels less thrilling and more… tiring. Now it’s about connection. Care. Ask yourself, “What actually matters to me?”
And with the Full Moon in Sagittarius peaking late last night, the energy’s still strong today. There’s a sense of expansion like part of you is ready to leap into something bigger—but also conflicted about what that really looks like. You might find yourself wanting to get away, make a change, or chase some dream you haven’t said out loud yet. That tug-of-war inside you? That’s the real story right now.
This isn’t a day for performance. It’s a day for presence. Let things come up without rushing to solve or explain them. Feel it first. You’ll know what to do next soon enough.
The Planets Today
Sun in Gemini — The mental pace is still quick, and the distractions are real. But it’s getting harder to care about every single thing. Pay attention to what keeps coming up quietly—that’s probably the thing that matters.
Moon in Sagittarius — Your feelings want space. You might feel the urge to move, change something, or just get out of your usual headspace. Follow that instinct, even if it doesn’t lead anywhere right away.
Mercury in Cancer — Words are landing a little heavier now. You might not say much today, but what you do say will mean something. Let the heart lead the conversation.
Venus in Taurus — You’re not in the mood for surface-level anything. If it doesn’t feel grounded and real, it’s probably not worth your energy. You’re craving warmth that lasts.
Mars in Leo — The fire’s still there, but it’s showing up more dramatically. If you’re feeling triggered, ask yourself what part of you just wants to be seen and understood.
Jupiter in Cancer — This is the start of a bigger emotional chapter. Growth comes through nurturing now, not grinding. What does home feel like—and how do you build it from the inside out?
Saturn in Pisces — You’ve got dreams, but they’re floating. The structure might feel hard to come by today, but even the smallest plan is a good start. Give your vision some scaffolding.
Uranus in Taurus — The little stuff that’s bothering you? It might be pointing toward a bigger shift. Don’t brush it off just because it’s subtle. Change doesn’t always arrive loud.
Neptune in Aries — You might not be able to explain what you’re feeling, but that doesn’t mean it’s not valid. Trust the pull, even if your brain hasn’t caught up yet.
Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius — Something from your past might resurface today—not to throw you off, but to give you a new angle on it. This time, you’ve got more tools.
North Node in Pisces — If something feels like a sign, it probably is. You don’t have to make sense of it all right now. Just notice. That’s enough for today.
Today’s Spread
Let’s pull the curtain back a second: Tarot isn’t fortune-telling. It’s not going to tell you who to marry or when to quit your job. But it will help you see what’s stirring under the surface. And honestly? That’s where the good stuff is.
The traditional Rider-Waite tarot deck was used for today’s reading. If you’ve ever Googled tarot, you’ve seen it—classic imagery, bold colors, lots of symbolism. The deck is made up of 78 tarot cards split into two main categories:
-
Major Arcana (22 tarot cards): Big life lessons and turning points.
-
Minor Arcana (56 tarot cards): Daily stuff—your moods, routines, relationships, etc.
The Minor Arcana is split into four suits—Pentacles, Cups, Wands, and Swords—which represent the elements and areas of life. So if today’s tarot reading doesn’t click for you? That’s fine. Energy shifts daily. Come back tomorrow and see what’s new. Now, let’s get into the three-tarot-card spread for June 12.
Tarot 1: King of Cups (Past)
Lately, you’ve had to hold it together. Even when the storm hit, even when things felt out of balance—you stayed calm. Or at least, you looked calm. That’s the King of Cups. He doesn’t flinch on the surface, but it’s not because he isn’t feeling things. It’s because he’s learned how to ride out the waves without letting them take him under.
You may have been someone else’s emotional anchor for a while now. Maybe you’ve been the one people lean on, the one who listens, who keeps their cool while everything’s shifting. That takes strength—but also, it takes a toll. And maybe you haven’t had much space to fall apart, even a little.
This card shows up to remind you that emotional mastery doesn’t mean emotional denial. If you’ve been holding it all in or carrying more than your share, it’s okay to acknowledge that now. You did what you had to do. But you don’t have to stay in that mode forever.
Tarot 2: Three of Swords (Present)
Right now? It stings. Maybe not constantly, not loudly—but there’s something under the surface that hurts. The Three of Swords doesn’t mess around. It’s the heartbreak card, plain and simple. And not just romantic heartbreak—this can be grief, disappointment, or the kind of letdown that makes you question what you thought was true.
You might be realizing that something you hoped for isn’t going to happen the way you imagined. Or maybe you’re feeling the echo of something you thought you’d already healed. Either way, it’s okay to feel it. It’s supposed to hurt. That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
This card doesn’t show up to punish you—it shows up so you don’t ignore it. So you stop pretending you’re fine when you’re not. Is whatever is cracking open right now? That’s how the healing starts. You don’t have to rush through it. You just have to be real about it.
Tarot 3: Nine of Wands (Future)
Looking ahead, the road’s not magically easier—but you’re not the same person you were when you started. The Nine of Wands is that scraped-up, still-standing kind of strength. It’s the moment when you’re exhausted but somehow still showing up. You’ve hit your limits before, and now you know where they are. You also know you can push past them—carefully, intentionally.
And yeah, you might feel yourself going into self-protection mode. Bracing for the next hit, keeping your guard up so nothing catches you off balance again. That makes sense. Anyone would do the same after being hurt.
But this card is your reminder: not everything’s out to break you. Just because it’s been hard doesn’t mean it stays that way. You’ve changed. You’re wiser now. You can trust yourself a little more this time around.
So take a breath. Rest if you need to. But don’t back down now. You’re closer than you think.
Final Thoughts
June 12 carries a quiet kind of intensity. The Full Moon in Sagittarius is still echoing through, stirring up big feelings and bigger questions. And with Jupiter freshly in Cancer, there’s this emotional undertow—something deeper pulling at you, even if everything looks “fine” on the surface.
The cards are clear. You’ve been holding steady through some emotional weight (King of Cups), but there’s a real ache surfacing now (Three of Swords). It hurts—but it’s honest. And from that honesty, something stronger is building (Nine of Wands). You’re not broken. You’re just worn. And healing takes both space and grit.
You don’t have to power through today. Just be where you are. Feel what’s real. And trust that you’re getting through it—one breath, one step, one honest moment at a time.
