Tarot In The Stars Horoscope with Total Apex Media | May 26, 2025

Astrology and tarot do something many of us needโ€”they help us slow down and check in. While the stars lay out the big cosmic patterns, tarot taps into your gut, your emotions, and your now. Together, theyโ€™re like a weather report for your soul. You donโ€™t have to believe in fate or magic to get something out of them. You just need a moment of honesty with yourselfโ€”and maybe a little curiosity about whatโ€™s shifting today. Letโ€™s see what May 26, 2025, has in store.

Hereโ€™s the energy check for today: the Sun and Mercury just slid into Gemini, so mental chatter is officially in overdrive. You might feel like your brain’s trying to host a podcast, a TED Talk, and a stand-up set all at once. Itโ€™s chaotic geniusโ€”roll with it.

Meanwhile, the Moonโ€™s closing out in Taurus, grounding you just enough to keep your feet on the floor while your headโ€™s spinning with ideas. But heads upโ€”Jupiterโ€™s also in Gemini, which means your curiosity has zero chill. Youโ€™re not just wondering why, youโ€™re wondering what if, how come, should I Google this at 2 a.m.? Spoiler: yes.

So what’s the move? Donโ€™t try to force focus. Let your interests scatter like confettiโ€”somewhere in the mess, a pattern will emerge.

The Planets Today

Hereโ€™s your horoscope for Monday, May 26:

  • Sun in Gemini: The Sunโ€™s lighting up your inner chatterbox. Youโ€™re curious, chatty, maybe a little distractedโ€”but also lowkey brilliant. Great day to brainstorm or deep dive into a random obsession.

  • Moon in Taurus: Your feelings want a soft place to land. Think comfort food, cozy vibes, and some emotional stability. You might not say what youโ€™re feeling, but youโ€™re definitely feeling it.

  • Mercury in Gemini: Mercury just pulled up to its home sign, and itโ€™s THRIVING. Your thoughts are fast, your words are faster, and honestly? Youโ€™re kind of unstoppable in a group chat right now.

  • Venus in Aries: Loveโ€™s got no chill. You’re craving bold moves, not subtle hints. You want excitement, fire, and someone who texts back immediately.

  • Mars in Leo: Youโ€™ve got main character energy today. Itโ€™s loud, confident, and not here to play small. Just watch the egoโ€”thereโ€™s a fine line between โ€œgo offโ€ and โ€œextra.โ€

  • Jupiter in Gemini: Growth through curiosity. If somethingโ€™s piquing your interestโ€”even if itโ€™s weirdly nicheโ€”follow it. This is where the magicโ€™s hiding.

  • Saturn in Aries: New boss energy. Saturnโ€™s asking you to take the lead, start something fresh, and build it with real intention. No half-assing allowed.

  • Uranus in Taurus: Plot twists around money, values, or your daily routine. If something feels stuck, change is not only goodโ€”itโ€™s overdue.

  • Neptune in Aries: Your dreams want action. No more โ€œwouldnโ€™t it be niceโ€ daydreams. Pick one and take the first (tiny, messy) step.

  • Pluto retrograde in Aquarius: Youโ€™re quietly reinventing yourself behind the scenes. Might feel intense, but itโ€™s necessary. Let whatโ€™s outdated fall away.

Takeaway? Itโ€™s okay if clarity hasnโ€™t shown up yet. Sometimes, the fog is the message.

Todayโ€™s Spread

Letโ€™s pull the curtain back a second: Tarot isnโ€™t fortune-telling. Itโ€™s not going to tell you who to marry or when to quit your job. But it will help you see whatโ€™s stirring under the surface. And honestly? Thatโ€™s where the good stuff is.

The traditional Rider-Waite deck was used for todayโ€™s reading. If youโ€™ve ever Googled tarot, youโ€™ve seen itโ€”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 stuffโ€”your moods, routines, relationships, etc.

The Minor Arcana is split into four suitsโ€”Pentacles, Cups, Wands, and Swordsโ€”which represent the elements and areas of life.

So if todayโ€™s reading doesnโ€™t click for you? Thatโ€™s totally fine. Energy shifts daily. Come back tomorrow and see whatโ€™s new. Now, letโ€™s get into the three-tarot-card spread for May 26.

Card 1: The Tower (Past)

Yikes. The Tower in your past? That means something major came apartโ€”and probably not gently. This wasnโ€™t a slow fade or a gentle โ€œlesson learned.โ€ It was loud. Sudden. Messy. Somethingโ€”maybe a relationship, a job, a belief you really clung toโ€”collapsed. And it left you standing in the wreckage like, โ€œCool. What now?โ€

But hereโ€™s the thing people forget about the Tower: it doesnโ€™t tear down whatโ€™s solid. It knocks out the stuff that was already shaky, even if you couldnโ€™t see the cracks. And yeah, it hurt. Maybe you didnโ€™t want to admit it was time to let go. Maybe you saw it coming and hoped you were wrong. Either way, it forced you to get real. No more sugarcoating. No more pretending.

And you lived through it. That version of youโ€”the one who came out the other sideโ€”is tougher, clearer, and way more aligned than the one who got knocked down. Youโ€™re not rebuilding the same thing. Youโ€™re building smarter now. The Tower wasnโ€™t the end. It’s just a reset.

Card 2: The Hermit (Present)

Right now, it probably feels like youโ€™ve pulled back from the world a bit. And no, youโ€™re not being flaky or antisocial. Your soulโ€™s just asking for quiet. The Hermit shows up when you need space. Not because youโ€™re lost, but because youโ€™re trying to find something. Or someoneโ€”yourself, maybe.

Youโ€™re asking the big questions, even if youโ€™re not saying them out loud. Who am I becoming? What actually feels good anymore? Youโ€™re sorting through the noise, trying to figure out what still fits. And yeah, it might look like youโ€™re just chilling or being distant, but inside? A lotโ€™s shifting.

This kind of pause isnโ€™t glamorous, but itโ€™s where the real stuff happens. You’re not disappearingโ€”youโ€™re recharging. And when you come back out of this cocoon? Donโ€™t be surprised if people notice something different in you, even if you donโ€™t say a word.

Card 3: Six of Wands (Future)

Youโ€™ve gone through it. And I don’t mean just the obvious struggles. I’m talking about the stuff nobody saw. The quiet work. The โ€œkeep going even when it sucksโ€ kind of effort. And now? Somethingโ€™s shifting. The Six of Wands is that moment where the weight starts to lift. Itโ€™s not necessarily a big, flashy win (though hey, maybe it is), but it feels different. Someone notices. You feel a little more confident. Like, โ€œWait… I think Iโ€™m doing okay.โ€

It could be a compliment, a breakthrough, a tiny win that hits way harder than expected. Whatever it is, let it land. Let yourself feel proud. You didnโ€™t get here by luck. You showed up for yourself, over and over. And now, itโ€™s starting to show. So yeahโ€”take the win. Youโ€™ve earned it.

Final Thoughts

Todayโ€™s reading hits deepโ€”not because itโ€™s heavy, but because itโ€™s honest. The Tower in your past? That was the big one. The shake-up. The moment everything cracked open and left you staring at the pieces. Maybe it hurt like hell. Maybe you didnโ€™t see it comingโ€”or maybe you did, and hoped you were wrong. Either way, it forced you to get real about what couldnโ€™t stay.

Then comes The Hermit, quiet and steady, showing up in your present moment. Youโ€™re not hiding. Youโ€™re healing. Youโ€™re asking the hard questions and giving yourself space to actually listen for the answers. Thatโ€™s brave workโ€”even if no one else sees it. And just ahead, thereโ€™s the Six of Wands. Not a firework finale, but a shift. A win. A sign that something youโ€™ve been working through is finally breaking in your favor. Maybe someone notices your effort. Maybe you do. Either way, itโ€™s valid. Itโ€™s deserved.

So if today feels like a pause between chapters, that makes sense. If you’re still sorting through the mess? That makes sense, too. Keep showing up for yourself. Youโ€™re not behind. Youโ€™re just right on time. Come back tomorrow for another reading.
