Astrology and tarot do something many of us need—they help us slow down and check-in. While the stars laid out the big cosmic patterns, tarot taps 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 May 28, 2025, has in store.
Tarot in the Stars
Here’s what we’re working with today: the Sun’s still cruising through Gemini, which means your brain is probably firing on all cylinders. Think mental tab overload—like you’re juggling five different convos, three unfinished to-do lists, and a random thought about where your eighth-grade best friend ended up. Classic Gemini chaos. But also kind of genius.
Now, layer in the Moon making a shift—from Gemini to Cancer. That’s a mood swing waiting to happen, and honestly? It’s not a bad thing. You might start the day over-caffeinated and overcommitted, and end it craving homemade soup and a three-hour phone call with someone who just gets you.
So yeah, it’s a dual-energy kind of day. Your mind’s sprinting, but your heart’s like, “Hey, maybe slow down and feel something.” The trick is to let both have a turn at the wheel. Don’t overthink the feelings, and don’t let the feelings drown out your logic. You’re allowed to live in the in-between.
The Planets Today
Sun in Gemini — Your thoughts are running the show right now. You’re curious, restless, maybe even a little scattered—but also brilliant when you’re in flow. If you’ve got something to say, say it. Just don’t expect to stick to one topic for too long.
Moon moving from Gemini to Cancer — Morning, you are social, chatty, and maybe a little impatient. Evening, you are moodier, more introspective, and maybe even nostalgic. Let the transition happen. It’s okay to cancel plans if your energy’s gone sideways.
Mercury in Gemini — This is peak mental gymnastics. You’re analyzing everything—texts, convos, vibes. The upside? Razor-sharp thinking. The downside? Total overthinking. Try to give your brain a timeout at some point.
Venus in Aries — Love moves fast and loud today. If someone’s into you, you’ll know. And if you’re feeling bold? Make the first move. Just remember, impulsive isn’t always the same as instinctual. Feel it out.
Mars in Leo — Big energy. Big ego. Big drama if you’re not careful. Use this fire to fuel something creative or courageous—but don’t bulldoze your way through every conversation just to win.
Jupiter in Gemini — You’re in learning mode, whether you realize it or not. Pay attention to the random stuff that piques your interest—it’s pointing you toward growth. Even if it’s just a late-night Wikipedia spiral.
Saturn in Aries — New cycle, new rules. This isn’t about doing everything perfectly—it’s about showing up, starting something real, and committing to the long game. Think discipline, not pressure.
Uranus in Taurus — Change is knocking on your comfort zone. That thing you’ve been clinging to for security? Might be time to loosen the grip. Not because it’s bad, but because you’ve outgrown it.
Neptune in Aries — Your dream life is coming into focus, but it still needs action to become something real. Don’t just visualize. Do something—even something tiny—that makes the vision tangible.
Pluto retrograde in Aquarius — This one’s deep. Old patterns are unraveling, and it might feel like parts of you are falling apart. Let them. This isn’t destruction—it’s renovation. Make room for what’s next.
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 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 reading doesn’t click for you? That’s totally fine. Energy shifts daily. Come back tomorrow and see what’s new. Now, let’s get into the three-tarot-card spread for May 28.
Card 1: Seven of Swords (Past)
This tarot card doesn’t show up unless something is off. You know that feeling when you’re playing along, but deep down, you know something’s not adding up? That’s Seven of Swords energy. It’s sneaky, but not always in a bad way. Sometimes you had to be sneaky. Sometimes you had to protect yourself, and you did what you had to do.
Maybe you didn’t say everything you were thinking. Maybe you smiled when you wanted to scream. Or maybe you let someone believe you were fine when you absolutely weren’t. You could’ve been dealing with someone who wasn’t giving you the whole story. Or maybe you were doing it to yourself—pretending you didn’t care as much as you did, downplaying your needs, ghosting your own emotions.
This tarot card is that part of your past where trust was blurry and motives were fuzzy. But the point isn’t to dwell on it. It’s to ask yourself what you learned from it. Because the version of you back then? They were doing their best with what they had. And maybe it wasn’t perfect. Maybe it wasn’t clean. But it kept you safe long enough to get here.
Now the question is: do you still need to play it like that? Or are you ready to stop sneaking around your own truth?
Card 2: Five of Swords (Present)
This tarot card is messy. Not like explosion messy—more like “I can’t stop replaying that moment even though it’s over” messy. It’s about conflict. That one thing that ended with nobody feeling good. Maybe it was a blow-up. Maybe it was just tension and silence stretched way too long. Either way, it left a mark.
You might be carrying guilt. Or maybe you’re carrying that awful “I should’ve said something” feeling. The worst part? You might not even be sure what the fight was really about anymore. It just hurt. And maybe it still does.
Here’s what the Five of Swords does: it tempts you to keep going over the whole thing in your mind, trying to find the perfect comeback, the perfect justification. But you know what it never gives you? Peace. It keeps you locked in a loop.
So ask yourself: do you want to win this thing, or do you want to move on? Because you don’t have to prove anything anymore. You don’t have to keep dragging it around like it defines you. It doesn’t. That moment passed. And you? You’re still here. That’s something.
Card 3: King of Wands (Future)
This tarot card doesn’t coddle you. It doesn’t show up unless you’re ready to stop playing small. It’s not here to talk about your trauma, or your fears, or your what-ifs. You’ve done that. This is the part where you get up, brush yourself off, and go build something. Even if your hands are still shaking a little.
The King of Wands is that version of you that walks in like, “I’ve seen some things, but I’m still not afraid to lead.” It doesn’t mean you’re always confident. It just means you don’t let fear run the show.
So what does this look like for you? Maybe it’s finally putting yourself out there again. Maybe it’s starting something you’ve been scared to fail at. Maybe it’s just saying, “I want more,” and actually believing you deserve it.
You’ve already done the quiet suffering. You’ve already proven you’re tough. Now you need to show yourself you’re powerful—not because you’re loud, not because you’re flashy—but because you’ve survived your own doubt and still came out swinging.
This is your tarot card if you’ve been waiting for a sign. Here it is. It’s you. You’re the sign.
