Astrology and tarot do something many need—they help us slow down and check in. While the stars lay out the big cosmic patterns, tarot cards tap into your gut, emotions, and 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 need a moment of honesty with yourself—and maybe a little curiosity about what’s shifting today. Let’s see what July 9, 2025, has in store.
Today’s got that restless, edge-of-something energy—the kind where you’re fine on the outside but lowkey itching for a sign, a change, something. Like your soul wants to stretch its legs but your body’s still stuck in yesterday’s routine.
The Moon’s vibing in Sagittarius right now, and she’s got no time for shallow feelings or the same old script. She wants truth. Freedom. A reason to care again. So if you find yourself mentally packing a bag or deep in a random Google spiral about living off the grid—yeah, that tracks. Emotions are looking for a horizon today. Not drama, just clarity.
And then there’s Mercury in Cancer—quiet, nostalgic, kind of like that friend who texts you just to check in with a “you okay?” It’s sweet, but also pulling up some memories you didn’t ask for. Pair that with Mars in Virgo pushing for action, and boom—you’re suddenly cleaning out your closet and reevaluating your last three life choices. It’s chaotic. But kinda necessary.
Meanwhile, the Sun and Jupiter are tag-teaming in Gemini, turning everything into a conversation. It’s playful, curious, a little all over the place. But if you lean into it, there’s growth in there. Real, honest-to-God expansion—through talking, writing, thinking, or even just listening to that random podcast that hits a little too hard.
Let’s pull the curtain back a second: Tarot isn’t fortune-telling. It won’t 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 July 9.
You were in your head a lot back then—questioning everything, overthinking the small stuff, replaying old convos like they were clues in some kind of emotional detective story. The Page of Swords shows up when you’re trying to figure it all out without having the full picture. You were sharp, curious, and maybe a little defensive—because honestly, it felt like if you didn’t speak up or dig deeper, you’d miss something important.
There was this urge to know more, to be better, to get it. But it also made you feel raw sometimes, like your brain was moving faster than your heart could catch up. You might’ve said things you weren’t ready to say—or learned some truths you weren’t ready to hear. It was a crash course in clarity, and even when it was awkward or uncomfortable, you showed up. You asked hard questions. You didn’t play dumb or stay small. And even if you didn’t get all the answers, you cracked something open in yourself. That mattered.
Something’s falling away right now—and maybe you knew it was coming, maybe you didn’t—but it still stings. Death isn’t about tragedy, though. It’s about release. You’re in a season of deep, quiet change. One of those shifts that doesn’t always come with fireworks or closure, just a slow unraveling of something that used to feel like home.
It might be a job, a friendship, a version of yourself you don’t relate to anymore. And yeah, it’s scary. But also? It’s necessary. You’re not broken, you’re just outgrowing. And that in-between space—the “I don’t know what’s next” zone—is where the real stuff happens. The messy, magical middle. So if it feels weird or heavy right now, don’t fight it. Grieve what’s leaving if you need to. But trust that on the other side of this is something better suited to who you are now. Let it fall. You’re ready, even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.
Something new is going to light you up soon—and it might feel small at first, like a flicker you almost miss. But you’ll feel it. That tingle of “oh wait… this could be something.” The Page of Wands is like that first warm day after a long winter—hopeful, buzzy, full of potential you can’t quite name yet.
It could be an idea, a trip, a new person, or just a part of yourself you haven’t heard from in a while. And sure, there’ll be nerves. You might doubt yourself or overthink the timing. But don’t talk yourself out of it. This is your reminder that beginnings are supposed to be imperfect. The spark doesn’t have to make sense—it just has to be real. Follow it. Play with it. Let yourself be excited again, even if you’re not sure where it’s going. Because whatever it is? It’s yours to explore. And you’ve earned that kind of joy.
You’re in the middle of a real shift—mentally, emotionally, maybe even spiritually. The past taught you how to question and stay curious; the present is asking you to release what no longer fits. What’s ahead isn’t fully mapped out, but there’s spark, there’s possibility, and most importantly—there’s you, still showing up. Don’t rush the process. Let it unfold, one brave, messy, honest step at a time.
