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 31, 2025, has in store.
Tarot in the Stars
Alright, so May 31 is not your average Saturday. We’ve got the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter all stacked in Gemini, the Moon strutting into Leo, and a bunch of fire-sign action lighting a match under everything. It’s giving “loud thoughts, big moves, high drama.” Subtle? Not today.
This is one of those days where your brain won’t shut up, your heart wants something real, and your energy levels are bouncing off the walls. You might feel like starting a podcast, quitting a job, texting your ex, or planning a spontaneous trip—all before lunch. It’s chaotic. It’s brilliant. It’s very much the moment.
If you’re feeling pulled in a dozen directions, that tracks. The sky’s basically screaming, “Express yourself,” and whether that means writing a three-page note or impulsively buying a fringe jacket, go with it. You’re allowed to be a little extra right now.
Let’s break it down.
The Planets Today
Sun in Gemini — Fast-talking, idea-hopping, curiosity-overload energy. You’re probably thinking five things at once and struggling to finish a sentence without starting another. Welcome to Gemini season.
Moon in Leo — Everything feels a little bigger under a Leo Moon—your wants, your moods, your outfit choices. If you’re craving attention or just some recognition, you’re not being needy. You’re being lunar-aligned.
Mercury in Gemini — Mercury’s home and it’s not quiet. Your thoughts are sharp, conversations pop, and you can absolutely win any argument today (not that you should start one… but you could). Journal, pitch, overshare—it’s all fair game.
Venus in Aries — No slow burns here. You want real, raw, and right now. Whether that’s romance, friendships, or even the barista you locked eyes with—if the vibe is mutual, act on it.
Mars in Leo — Mars in Leo wants bold. This is the “post the thing, wear the wild shoes, make the first move” kind of energy. You’re feeling courageous, maybe even a little cocky. That’s not a bad thing.
Jupiter in Gemini — You’re info-hungry and possibly doom-scrolling at 2 a.m. The thing is, some of those random facts or niche obsessions might actually turn into something important later. Follow the threads.
Saturn in Aries — Saturn just moved into Aries and it’s not messing around. This is your cosmic nudge to stop saying “one day” and actually do the thing. Discipline meets drive. Use it.
Uranus in Taurus — Stuff you thought was stable might be shifting, slowly but definitely. It’s not a blow-up moment—it’s more like waking up and realizing you’ve outgrown something. Be okay with change.
Neptune in Aries —Your imagination is on fire, but so is your impulse control. That dream you’ve been sitting on? Now might be the time to take one real step toward it.
Pluto retrograde in Aquarius — Old patterns or power dynamics could resurface. Don’t ignore them. They’re showing up so you can finally let them go. Clean slate energy, but you have to do the clearing.
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 30.
Tarot Card 1: Three of Wands (Past)
This tarot card isn’t about the beginning of the journey—it’s about what came after. After the decision, after the risk, after the leap. The Three of Wands shows up when you’ve already made the brave move, and now you’re standing on the edge of something bigger, waiting to see what unfolds.
So yeah, this is past energy—but it’s not passive. This is you at that moment when you first realized: I’m actually doing it. Maybe you left something that wasn’t working. Maybe you took a chance on something that scared you (in a good way). Either way, you looked beyond what was safe or familiar and chose growth. That matters.
Looking back, there might’ve been moments of doubt—maybe even regret. But the truth? That part of your story was a turning point. You expanded your own limits. You started imagining a life that looked different than what you’d settled for. This tarot card is a reminder that even if the results aren’t all in yet, you were right to want more. That vision you had? It was real. And it’s still unfolding.
Tarot Card 2: Seven of Wands (Present)
Okay, here’s where things get a little scrappy. The Seven of Wands is not peaceful energy—it’s pushback. It’s resistance. It’s you standing in your truth while everything (and everyone) around you starts questioning it.
This tarot card shows up when you’ve climbed a hill, and now you’ve got to defend your spot. You might feel like you’re constantly having to explain yourself. Or, like your boundaries, your choices, even your vibe, are being tested. People might not get it. You might not even get it all the time. But still—you’re holding your ground.
And yeah, it’s tiring. You’re allowed to say that. Just because something is right for you doesn’t mean it’s easy. But the fact that you’re facing friction? That’s not a sign you’re wrong. It’s a sign you’re leveling up. The higher you go, the more visible you get—and the more energy it takes to stay centered.
So if today feels like a fight to keep your focus, or a test of how badly you want this version of your life? That’s exactly what it is. But you’ve got this. You didn’t get here by accident.
Tarot Card 3: Ace of Cups (Future)
This one’s a heart-opener. The Ace of Cups is that fresh-start kind of love. Not just romantic love—though sure, it could be that—but also self-love, creative flow, real emotional clarity. This tarot card comes when your heart is finally ready for more because you’ve cleared out enough of the noise to actually feel again.
If things have been dry emotionally—if you’ve been numb, guarded, or too busy fighting battles to even check in with your own heart—this tarot card is a soft, subtle shift in energy. It’s like rain after a long dry spell. Unexpected. Quiet. But absolutely necessary.
This doesn’t mean everything magically heals overnight. It means your heart is ready to open, even if it’s just a crack. It might show up as a new connection. Or a creative project that lights you up in a way nothing else has. Or maybe it’s just you, standing in front of a mirror, realizing you actually like the person looking back.
Whatever it is, the Ace of Cups says it starts from within. You don’t have to chase it. You just have to stay open enough to receive it.
Final Thoughts
Let’s be real—today’s kind of a rollercoaster. The stars are buzzing, the planets are turning up the drama, and the tarot cards? All about growth, grit, and opening your heart again. It’s not exactly chill, but it is meaningful.
You’ve come a long way. You’re still standing your ground. And maybe—just maybe—you’re ready for something softer to find you.
You don’t need to have it all figured out today. Just stay present. Feel what’s real. Let it be messy if it needs to be. You’re in it—and that’s more than enough.
