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 September 29, 2025, has in store.
We’re heading into a punchy day. The Sun’s steady in Libra, doing its balance-seeking thing, but the Moon’s hanging out in Capricorn, which means structure, work, and responsibility are all louder than usual. The combo feels like trying to clean up your life with a clipboard in hand—“fix this, adjust that, keep it fair, don’t mess it up.”
Add Mars still coasting through Libra and Venus soft in Cancer, and you’ve got this weird mix of “be diplomatic” while also feeling like you’re grinding through a checklist. Not the easiest mood, but it is practical. The skies are nudging us to pause, recalibrate, and face the stuff we’d rather not.
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-card tarot spread for September 29, 2025.
This is the “sit down and rest” card. Four of Swords shows up when you’ve been running on fumes but pretending you’re fine. Newsflash: you’re not. You need a break. Even just an afternoon where you put the phone down and stop doom-scrolling.
It doesn’t mean the world stops without you. It means your body and brain need time to reset. Push past this and you’ll end up crashing harder later.
Big picture: rest is part of the work.
Oof, this one stings. The Five of Pentacles is about feeling left out, struggling, or just plain low. It can point to money stress, loneliness, or that “nobody gets it” feeling. Not fun.
But the detail most people forget? There’s always help in this card—usually a lit window, a door just out of frame. You’re not as alone as you think, even if it feels that way right now. The hard part is reaching out instead of closing off.
Bottom line: don’t isolate. Ask for support—you’re allowed.
And here comes the big one. The Devil isn’t about some spooky figure lurking in the shadows—it’s about the chains you put on yourself. Bad habits, toxic patterns, that thing you swear you’ll stop doing but keep doing anyway.
It’s not hopeless, though. The trick? Those chains are loose. You could shake them off, but comfort and fear keep you stuck. This card shows up when it’s time to ask: what’s actually controlling me, and why am I letting it?
Big picture: freedom’s possible, but only if you own your part in the trap.
Today’s spread isn’t fluffy—it’s about facing the hard stuff. Four of Swords says stop pushing and give yourself space. Five of Pentacles points to the ache of feeling left out or low, but reminds you you’re not without help. And the Devil? He calls you out on the patterns that keep you stuck. Pair that with today’s Capricorn Moon and Libra Sun, and it’s pretty clear: rest, reach out, and be honest about the chains you’re dragging. You don’t have to stay stuck.
