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 27, 2025, has in store.

Tarot in the Stars Horoscope

The astrology for today is loaded—and honestly, it’s got “powerful pivot point” written all over it. We’re in the heart of Taurus season, but with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Uranus all vibing in this steady earth sign, there’s more going on than just chill vibes and comfort food.

Oh, and did we mention it? It’s Shani Jayanti, Saturn’s birthday. That adds a karmic, fate-feels-real weight to whatever decisions you’re sitting with.

Let’s break it down.

The Planets Today

Sun in Taurus: You’re in builder mode, not buzzy trend mode. Everything feels better when it’s slow, steady, and actually real. It’s about putting your energy into what lasts—your time, your values, your next move. No rush. Just roots.

Moon in Taurus (with Mercury + Uranus): On the outside? Calm, cool, collected. On the inside? Brain doing backflips. This Moon-Mercury-Uranus trio is stirring up wild ideas under a grounded surface. Don’t be surprised if you get a lightning-bolt insight about something that really matters to you.

Venus in Pisces: You’re in your feels—but in the sweetest way. Connection is calling, and everything from deep talks to dreamy eye contact hits differently today. Love’s got a soft glow around it right now.

Mars in Cancer: You’re not just chasing goals—you’re fighting for what’s close to your heart. This Mars placement brings passion with a protective edge. It’s giving “I’ll do anything for the people I love” energy.

Jupiter in Gemini: Your brain’s all over the place, but in a good way. You’re following curiosity like breadcrumbs and uncovering gold in the weirdest places. Let it happen. Exploration is the point.

Saturn + Neptune in Pisces: Big dreams need real plans. This duo is asking you to get serious about your vision—but without killing the magic. Saturn’s like, “Great dream. Now how are you gonna build it?”

Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn: If it feels like something in your life is crumbling a little, you’re not imagining it. But it’s not chaos—it’s cleanup. Pluto’s clearing space so something truer can take its place. Let the old stuff go. It’s time.

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 27.

Three of Cups (Past)

Alright, so this tarot card? This is a joy you didn’t have to earn. It’s the kind that just shows up in your life through people, moments, laughter—you know, the stuff that actually makes everything else bearable. Three of Cups in your past means there was a time not too long ago when you let yourself feel good. Maybe it was a win, maybe it was just a random Tuesday that felt oddly light. But you weren’t alone in it. There were people with you. People who got it. People who clinked glasses, sent “proud of you” texts, or just sat on your couch in silence when words weren’t needed.

Maybe you didn’t realize how important that was at the time. Or maybe you did, and you’re missing it now. That happens—a lot, actually. Life gets heavy, and suddenly it’s like, “Wait, when did things stop being fun?” But this tarot card is your reminder: joy happened. You had it. That connection, that lightness? It was real. It wasn’t a fluke. You didn’t imagine it.

And yeah, maybe you’ve drifted from some of those people. Or maybe the vibe’s changed and you’re trying to get it back. That’s okay. Life moves. But the feeling—that ease, that warmth, that love? That still lives in you. And it can come back. Or grow in new places. Don’t close the door on joy just because it didn’t stay in one form. It’s allowed to evolve. You are, too.

Strength (Present)

Listen, I’m not gonna sugarcoat this one. Strength isn’t cute. It’s not a selfie with a caption about “overcoming.” It’s you, right now, probably tired, probably questioning everything, still doing your best not to shut down. It’s the deep breath you take before a hard conversation. It’s not texting back when you know it’ll just open an old wound. It’s holding it together at work when all you want to do is cry in the bathroom. Yeah—that’s the kind of strength we’re talking about.

This tarot card shows up when you’re in it. Not when it’s over. Not when the lesson’s clear. When you’re still choosing to stay kind, even when life’s been anything but kind to you. And if you’re tired of being the strong one? That tracks. Strength isn’t about pushing through everything with a smile. It’s about knowing when to rest. When to step back. When to say, “Actually, I need a minute.”

You don’t have to be graceful all the time. You don’t have to get it perfect. But you are showing up. And that matters. More than anyone probably tells you. The fact that you’re still here, still trying, still open to growth and love and softness even after everything? That’s incredible. You might not feel powerful, but I promise—this version of you? The one choosing to stay soft when life’s been hard? That’s real power. Keep going.

Nine of Cups (Future)

This tarot card feels like an exhale you didn’t know you were holding. Nine of Cups is basically your emotional “yes.” That thing you’ve been hoping for? It’s not just possible—it’s probable. But here’s the twist: it’s not about winning the lottery or getting everything you want overnight. It’s more like… you finally feel good in your own skin. You finally walk into a room and don’t overthink your existence. You get that one text. You sleep through the night without that tight feeling in your chest. That kind of magic.

This is about emotional satisfaction. Deep down, soul-level peace. The kind that’s earned after a lot of not-so-peaceful days. And it doesn’t mean your life becomes perfect. But it does mean something clicks. Something lands. Something you’ve been manifesting or praying for or crying about quietly in your car? It’s coming together.

It might be a relationship that just feels easy. A job that finally respects your time. A version of you that actually celebrates your wins instead of downplaying them. Whatever it is—it’s not far off. And you deserve it. You’ve done the hard stuff. The letting go. They stay soft. The crying in Target. All of it.

So when the good stuff starts showing up—and it will—don’t question it. Don’t guilt yourself out of it. Don’t shrink. Just receive. Let it feel good. You’re not being tested anymore. You’re being rewarded.

Nine of Cups (Future)

So here’s where we land today: the tarot and the sky are kind of saying the same thing. You’ve had moments of joy—real joy, the kind that reminds you what it feels like to be in your life, not just surviving it. That’s the Three of Cups. Right now, you’re holding steady in the hard stuff, showing up with quiet strength even when it’s easier to check out—yep, that’s Strength doing its thing. And coming up? There’s something good on the way. A win, a wish, a moment that makes you stop and go, “Oh… this is what I’ve been waiting for.” That’s your Nine of Cups.

And astrologically? You’re not doing this alone. Taurus is keeping you grounded, Gemini’s sparking all those fresh ideas, and Saturn—aka the cosmic parent—is giving you a subtle nod like, “Yep, you’re on the right track. Keep going.”

What should you do with all this? Honestly? Don’t try to figure it all out today. Just stay present. Keep showing up. Keep trusting that even if the pieces don’t make sense yet, they’re moving into place. You’re not behind. You’re building.

So, today: celebrate what’s working. Let yourself feel proud. Be gentle when things wobble. And remember—strength isn’t about powering through. It’s about choosing softness when the world tells you to harden up. You’re doing great.

Catch you tomorrow for another horoscope and tarot reading. Til then, breathe deep, stay open, and let the magic do what it does.
