Tarot In The Stars Horoscope with Total Apex Media | July 25, 2025

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 25, 2025, has in store.

Tarot in the Stars Horoscope

Let’s break it down: the New Moon in Leo hits this afternoon, and it’s not messing around. New Moons are always about fresh starts—but when it’s in Leo? That’s pure firestarter energy. Creativity, confidence, romance, expression—it’s all lit.

But here’s the plot twist: this lunation sits directly opposite Pluto in Aquarius. Translation? Before you launch anything new, something old (and probably gnarly) has to go. It’s a cosmic “out with the old,” Pluto’s not known for subtle goodbyes. More like emotional bulldozers clearing the set.

Mercury’s retrograde in Leo too, just a few degrees from the New Moon, stirring up old scripts and second takes. Don’t be surprised if something from your past circles back—not to haunt you, but to be rewritten. Say what you really meant this time.

The Sun’s just entered Leo too, adding heat to the mix. It’s got main character energy, but it’s also doing some soul-searching. This combo of Leo fire and Pluto shadow work? It’s like walking into your origin story, hair blowing in the wind, realizing the real plot twist is… You were always the hero.

Today’s Spread

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 July 25.

Tarot 1: Death (Past)

You let something go that you didn’t think you could live without—and somehow, here you are. Death in the past position means you’ve already faced a major ending, and no, it probably wasn’t peaceful. It felt like the ground gave out. Like the version of you who used to want that thing just stopped showing up one day.

Maybe you clung to it for a while. Maybe you walked away before you were ready. Either way, something ended, full stop—and that loss made room for something real. You’re not the same person you were before, and honestly? That’s the whole point. You didn’t just survive it. You shed a skin.

Tarot 2: Two of Swords (Present)

Right now, it feels like you’re stuck in your own head, frozen in place. The Two of Swords shows up when you’re pretending not to know what you already know. You’ve been circling a choice, avoiding the fallout, hoping clarity would just… show up and rescue you. But deep down, you already feel what’s right.

You’re just scared of what happens after you admit it. Maybe you don’t want to hurt someone. Maybe you don’t want to disappoint yourself. But peace doesn’t come from pretending. It comes from deciding. Take off the blindfold—it’s not protecting you anymore.

Tarot 3: Three of Swords (Future)

Yeah… this one’s a heartbreaker. Something ahead might cut deep, and you’ll probably wish you could skip past it. But the Three of Swords doesn’t come to ruin you—it comes to clear out what’s not true anymore. It’s grief with purpose.

That truth you’ve been avoiding? It’s going to find you. And yeah, it might hurt. But it’ll also make things real. This kind of pain makes space—space for healing, for clarity, for freedom. It might suck in the moment, but you’ll look back and see it was the turning point. The moment your heart finally said, “Enough. Let’s be honest.”

Final Thoughts

Whew. Between the sky and the cards, today’s giving “rip the bandage off”—but in a way that sets you free. The Leo New Moon wants you to start fresh, but Pluto and those sharp-edged cards (hey, Death, Two of Swords, Three of Swords) aren’t letting you skip the hard parts. You’re being asked to make a choice, face the truth, and let something go—for real this time. It’s not easy, but it’s real. And honestly? That’s where the magic starts.
