May 2025 Collective Tarotscope
Centering the Self in a World of Distraction
Good Morning Divine Tribe!🌞
Before we dive in, I want to share a quick update: this will be the last Tarotscope that’s completely free. I like to provide as much detail as I can, but these do take a lot of time and energy for me to create. So, going forward, I’ll be sharing the initial collective readings here for all to access, but the more in-depth details will be available exclusively to my paid subscribers.
Spirit’s been nudging me to show up more consistently with my tarot insights in all spaces, and I want to honor that call. As much as I love offering free insight and content, I also need to create space for people who wish to financially support my work, especially as this blog and my readings are becoming my full-time path.
So yes, I’m committed. I even lit a candle for it! 🕯️ Now let’s get into this May energy because... whew.
We’ll start with the general collective reading for the month, then break it down by modality, and finally, by each zodiac sign.✨
The general collective received the Power Deck cards Centering for May 2025.
It’s a reminder that no matter how much noise is around you, no matter how far you may have drifted emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, your center is always there, waiting for you to return to it. This month, Spirit is inviting the collective to stop chasing distractions and come back home to themselves.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or pulled in too many directions, it’s not a sign that you’re off track—it’s a signal to slow down and realign. There’s nothing to force, nothing to prove, just an invitation to gently return to yourself.
The collective message right now is to stop rushing to define what you’re going through. What feels like weakness or another obstacle might actually be the groundwork for your next breakthrough. The discomfort showing up in your relationships, your work, or within yourself isn’t meant to break you—it’s trying to reveal something. The more willing you are to sit with it, the more clarity will unfold.
Your power is not in how much you can carry or how well you can navigate chaos. It’s in how deeply you can return to your own energy…
There’s also something powerful in noticing what, or who, has the ability to pull you out of your peace, your center. That pattern, that person, that emotional trigger... they’re your teachers right now! Not because you’re meant to stay entangled with them, but because they reveal where you’ve still got space to grow and reclaim.
The collective is being guided to stop matching energy that isn’t rooted in truth. Just because someone is loud, chaotic, or ungrounded doesn’t mean you have to meet them there.
Let it be your cue to return to yourself.
The clarifiers for this message were telling:
Justice reversed, Seven of Cups reversed, and Four of Swords reversed.
With Justice reversed, Spirit is highlighting where silence has taken the place of truth. Many in the collective have chosen peace over expression, but at what cost? This card isn’t asking for conflict — it’s asking for honesty, honesty where there is unfairness, injustice, lack of accountability, and guilt. Speak what’s true for you, even if it’s not easy for others to hear. Your voice is sacred. You’re allowed to take up space because, at this point, not doing so is only doing yourself an injustice; it’s only holding you back.
Seven of Cups reversed reminds the collective to stop escaping into avoidance, fantasy, or indecision. There are many options and distractions right now, but clarity only comes when you stop running from what’s real. You don’t have to keep guessing. You do have to slow down long enough to listen.
Four of Swords reversed comes in like a whisper: it’s time to re-engage. Some have been resting for too long, calling it healing when it’s really been hiding. Spirit says: You’ve learned enough in the quiet. Now, it’s time to apply what you know.
The advice card for May?
Speak your truth.
Not from a place of defense, but from a place of alignment. The collective has been quiet for too long in spaces that needed to hear their voice. And not just others; some of you need to hear yourself say the thing out loud. Spirit is encouraging gentle passion. You don’t need to yell to be heard. You just need to be clear and honest. What do you really desire? How do you really feel?
So this month, come back to your center. Come back to the calm beneath the surface. Your power is not in how much you can carry or how well you can navigate chaos. It’s in how deeply you can return to your own energy — and stay there, no matter what’s happening around you.
Now that we’ve explored the collective message for May, I’m gonna take a deeper look at how this energy plays out through each of the modalities — Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable — and then I’ll break the month down for each zodiac sign!
The Modalities
A way to classify the zodiac signs based on how they express their energy and react to circumstances.
🔥 Cardinal Signs – The Initiators - (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)
These signs kick off the seasons and are known for being action-oriented, leaders, and initiators. Great at starting things but may struggle to finish them.
I pulled the Power Deck card of Skill for your May message. It’s a reminder that your gifts, creativity, and power often grow the most through tension, not ease. The moments that stretch you are shaping who you’re becoming. Whether it’s your career, healing, or a personal goal, try to see it as a mirror of your evolution.
To clarify, I pulled the 4 of Cups, Knight of Swords, and Ace of Wands reversed. The 4 of Cups suggests you might be feeling emotionally disconnected or overlooking a divine nudge because your attention is elsewhere. The Knight of Swords brings fast mental energy, like you’re rushing toward answers, but it might be moving quicker than your heart can process. The reversed Ace of Wands points to a temporary lack of passion. The spark is still there—it just needs a new kind of ignition.
At the top of the deck was the 10 of Pentacles, highlighting your focus on long-term vision and legacy. That’s the energy guiding you. Beneath the surface, the reversed 4 of Pentacles asks you to loosen your grip on how things are “supposed” to happen. This is your sign to trust and release.
Your advice card was Discovery, a reminder that new ideas, people, and opportunities may appear this month. You don’t need to feel fully inspired or certain to be on the right path. Let the process stretch you. Let the friction reveal you. You’re not lost—you’re refining.💛
🪨 Fixed Signs – The Stabilizers - (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)
Fixed signs come in the middle of the seasons. They're steady, reliable, and often deeply committed. Known for their willpower and ability to persevere, but can be stubborn.
For your May message, I pulled the Power Deck card of Intuition. This card is encouraging you to trust what you feel to be true, instead of relying solely on logic. Your intuition is pure and unclouded, offering clarity beyond mental noise. It asks you to feel truth through your body and inner knowing. The only real block to this is doubt, so this month, focus on balancing mind and intuition. That’s where your power lies.
To clarify, I pulled The Hierophant reversed, Strength, and The Ace of Pentacles. The reversed Hierophant suggests a break from old traditions or belief systems. You might be walking away from what feels familiar, and with that can come uncertainty. The Strength card reminds you to keep going with grace and courage. Then comes the Ace of Pentacles, showing a solid opportunity or manifestation arriving in the physical world. Something real is beginning. Trust it.
At the bottom of the deck is The Emperor, a grounding force of structure, leadership, and stability. This could reflect your own growing authority or someone entering your life who brings a sense of support and order. Your advice card is Warrior Spirit, calling you to meet any challenge with resilience and devotion. Even if life feels like a constant battle, every moment is shaping your strength. You are not being tested just to endure—you’re being trained to rise. Keep going, you’re winning.💛
🌊 Mutable Signs – The Adapters - (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)
Mutable signs close out the seasons. They're flexible, versatile, and go with the flow. They are good at problem-solving and adapting to change, but may be seen as inconsistent.
For the mutable signs in May, I pulled the Power Deck card of Perfection. This card invites you to dream boldly and without apology. It’s asking you to move through the fears and longings that still hold weight, especially the ones rooted in childhood or old narratives. Whatever you’ve been avoiding—whether it’s fear of failure, abandonment, or not being enough—is now the very thing offering you transformation. The discomfort isn’t punishment; it’s initiation. The more you release perfectionism, ego, and outdated beliefs, the more you align with the truth of who you’re becoming.
To clarify, I pulled the Knight of Pentacles reversed, The Sun, and the Six of Cups. The reversed Knight suggests a sense of stuckness, possibly caused by perfectionism or fear of missteps. You might be hesitant to move forward unless everything feels just right. The Six of Cups brings up past memories or childhood dynamics—emotional patterns that are ready to be healed. Then comes The Sun, bringing light, clarity, and a sense of joy. You’re starting to see how your past shaped your need to get everything right. But that old version of you no longer defines the road ahead. You’re learning to move forward with more grace and self-compassion.
At the top of the deck was the King of Cups, with The Lovers reversed just beneath. This feels like emotional growth born from a difficult or misaligned choice. For some, it may involve love or a connection that no longer resonates. You’re finding emotional stability and learning to lead from a place of calm rather than fear. The Lovers reversed suggests letting go of a relationship or choice that was pulling you away from yourself.
Your advice card is Fresh Start. A new chapter is opening, and it’s here for the version of you who doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful. Let yourself soften, receive the gift of this beginning, and meet the world as your whole self.
The Zodiac Signs
Now that we've explored the energy for each modality, let's take it even closer look at what's coming through for each zodiac sign. The collective messages set the tone, but the personal story unfolds in greater detail when we tune into the unique frequency of each sign.
I pulled two oracle cards for every sign to give you insight into your personal growth, challenges, and breakthroughs in May. Whether you're looking for guidance, confirmation, or a little cosmic nudge, there's something in here for you.
Scroll down to find your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs to see a more complete look at what’s aligning for you in the new month!
ARIES (March 21 – April 19):
Cards: Vacation Reversed (You will be traveling soon), Only You Reversed (devoted, attached, crave)
Top of Deck: Narcissist (Someone is too full of themselves)
Bottom of Deck: Air Sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)Plans for movement, travel, or a break may feel blocked, and emotionally, you might feel stuck in a cycle. There's an attachment to something or someone that's no longer serving you. This pause signals a need for space, clarity, and healing. A narcissistic or manipulative energy could be clouding your peace. The Air Sign card reminds you to reconnect with your truth, your breath, and your mind, or step away from an Air sign in your life.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) (Happy birthday!🥳):
Cards: Challenges (Make a decision. Work on inner healing), Realizations (Epiphanies, understandings, awakenings; sideways to the right)
Bottom of Deck: Cursed Reversed (Hex, witchcraft, spells), in front of Breaking Point (Limit, final straw, overwhelmed)You could be facing a crossroads that’s stirring something deep inside—this isn’t just a decision, it’s a call to heal. The challenges you're facing now are pushing you into uncomfortable territory, but they also offer powerful growth. With the Realizations card sideways, insights are coming, but they may still feel unclear. Don’t force it—just keep listening. Beneath the surface, old patterns or limiting beliefs (indicated by the Cursed card reversed) are losing their grip on you, even if you’ve felt overwhelmed. The Breaking Point card reminds you that it’s okay to feel like it’s too much. You’re not cursed; you’re cracking open. This pressure is birthing something sacred.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20):
Cards: Clarity Reversed (Truth, intentions, honesty), Challenges Reversed (Make a decision. Work on inner healing)
Top of Deck: No Reversed (It’s not the right time)
Bottom of Deck: Fire Sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), in front of Narcissist (Someone is being too full of themselves)
Top of Other Deck: Obscurity (Secrets, mysteries, concealing), in front of Chasing (Pursuit, toxicity, resilience), Divine Masculine Reversed, Sorrow (Loss, grief, depression), Finality Reversed (Farewells, leaving behind, closure)Something you don’t want to face might be exactly what needs your attention right now. There’s a struggle with honesty—either with yourself or someone else—and avoiding healing and decisions, staying stuck in a loop. The reversed Nocard suggests the “not now” excuse is running out. The Fire Sign at the bottom points to an emotional stirrer or impulsive energy fueling the chaos. You may even be showing up with narcissistic energy, overcompensating to avoid pain or accountability. The second stack reveals a cycle of avoidance: secrets, unhealthy attachments, wounded masculine energy, emotional grief, and unfinished business. The truth is trying to come out, but it can’t if you're still pretending not to see it.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22):
Cards: They’ll Be Back (Expect to hear from them soon), Stress (Turbulence, tension, arguments)
Top of Deck: Healing Reversed (Releasing, purifying, cleansing)Someone or something from the past may resurface soon, but the energy feels heavy with unresolved emotions and cycles that haven’t been broken. With Healing reversed, it’s not just about them bringing the same baggage—it may also signal avoidance in your own healing, especially if you've been holding onto pain or waiting for closure from others. This reconnection could stir more than just memories; it may reveal where both sides have left wounds unattended. Use it as a mirror, not a comfort zone.
LEO (July 23 – August 22):
Cards: Water Sign Reversed (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), Possibilities (Free-spirited, adventure, risks)
Top of Deck 1: Beginnings (Try again, start over, new direction), Distance (Separation, space, blockage), Silence Reversed (Frozen, no words, stone wall)
Top of Deck 2: Yes (Luck is on your side), No Reversed (It’s not time yet), Pets Reversed (Getting a new pet, giving a current pet more love), Intuition Reversed, Commitment, Distance Reversed (You and your partner may be emotionally or physically distant), Confession (Someone has something to tell you)
Bottom of Deck: Gold Digger (They want your money, being used)You’re at a turning point filled with potential, but also confusion. What once felt emotionally deep may now feel draining or unbalanced. The Water Sign reversed could indicate someone with those placements or emotions that are out of sync. The Possibilities card urges you to stay open—try new paths, take risks, and release expectations. Both Beginnings and Yes suggest a new door is opening, but not without challenge. Messages about distance, silence, and confession indicate emotional blocks beginning to thaw. Someone may have been holding back, but the truth is ready to be spoken. With Intuition reversed, quiet the noise and trust what you feel to be true. Be mindful of who’s asking for your energy—and why. The Gold Digger card warns not to overlook red flags or give too much to someone not showing up fully. You’re meant to expand, not settle.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22):
Cards: Guardian Reversed (A lost loved one watches over you), Exhaustion (Depletion, drained, long journey)
Top of Deck: Patience Reversed
Bottom of Deck: Thinking Reversed (Missing you, craving, desiring)There’s a deep weariness here, Virgo—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Exhaustion speaks to a long chapter that’s taken its toll, and Guardian reversed suggests you may not feel supported right now, but you’re not alone. Someone on the other side may be trying to send you signs, but exhaustion could be clouding your ability to notice them. Patiencereversed points to frustration with how long things are taking or a desire to rush results. Thinking reversed indicates someone may be stuck in a loop, missing something or someone, but suppressing those feelings. It’s time to rest, refill your cup, and slow down enough to hear the messages you’ve been too tired to receive. You’re not abandoned, you’re just overdue for real rest and reconnection.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22):
Cards: Let Go Reversed, Elusive Sideways to the Left (Dishonesty, deception, trickery)
Top of Deck: Heart Fog Reversed (Mixed signals, blocked emotions, messed up), Twin Flame Reversed, Clarity, Breaking Point Reversed
Bottom of Deck: Apology Reversed (Forgiveness, return, sorry), Commitment (Marriage, promises, fidelity)Libra, something or someone is hard to shake. Let Go reversed shows resistance to releasing a situation, possibly one built on illusions or half-truths. Elusive leaning left suggests deception may be coming to light, or you’ve had a gut feeling something’s off, but haven’t fully faced it. Heart Fog reversed indicates emotions are settling, and confusion is lifting, especially around relationships that once felt spiritually significant. Twin Flame reversed and Apology reversed both speak to imbalances—connections where promises didn’t match actions, leaving closure out of reach. Commitment at the bottom shows loyalty and long-term connections are still on your mind, but clarity must come first. This is about seeing things clearly before making decisions, especially regarding who deserves your love.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21):
Cards: Divorce (Experiencing a breakup), Perspective Reversed (Better off, happiness, clear head space)
Bottom of Deck: Intimacy
Top of Deck: Depth (Awareness, importance, value), Thinking Reversed (Missing you, craving, desiring), Distance, Emotional Storm, Pride, Chemistry, Resistance Reversed (Secret admirer, suppressing, timid)Scorpio, you're walking away from something that once felt sacred. Divorce shows a clear break or emotional severing, and Perspective reversed suggests you may not yet see the full blessing in disguise. Healing is ahead, but your mind may be too clouded to recognize it now. Intimacy at the bottom speaks to how deep the connection was, how intertwined your energy became, possibly even karmically. But the cards say this: you're no longer meant to shrink into a bond that doesn’t reflect your true worth. Depth and Chemistry reveal that you crave more than surface-level passion—you want soul-deep connection and emotional fusion, where both people show up fully. With Thinking reversed and Resistance reversed, whatever is being suppressed will soon come to light—possibly even another admirer.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21):
Cards: No (It’s not the right time), Spying Reversed (Social network, information, ways)
Top of Deck: Thinking (Missing you, craving, desiring), Distance Reversed, Conflicted Reversed (Multiple choices, inconsistency, decisions), Beginnings Reversed (Try again, start over, new direction)Something you're hoping to move forward with—whether a reconnection, decision, or fresh start—just isn’t aligning right now. “No” is your clear signal that the timing is off, and with Spying reversed, you're either shifting your focus away from someone or realizing the answers you sought aren’t what you need. The top of the deck reveals lingering thoughts, emotional closeness after separation, and a scattered sense of direction. You or someone else could be overthinking this, but the clarity isn’t here yet. Distance reversed shows someone trying to close the gap, but with Beginnings blocked, the reset button isn’t ready to be pressed.
Take this as divine timing, not denial. There’s still something unresolved within or between you. Let things breathe and trust that when the time is right, you won’t have to force it.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19):
Cards: Chemistry (Strong magnetic pull, intense connection), Mercury Retrograde (Past returns, communication issues, delays)
Top of Deck: Someone Else Reversed (Someone is in the middle, someone is trying to sabotage this)
Bottom of Deck: Liar (Cheating, betrayal, deceit)
Top of Other Deck: Memories (Reminiscing, dwelling, good times)
Bottom of Other Deck: Bitterness (Anger, resentment, hurt) in front of Heart Fog Reversed (Mixed signals, blocked emotions, messed up)You're feeling an intense pull toward someone, and with Mercury Retrograde showing up, this could be a connection from the past circling back. Communication may be tricky right now—misunderstandings, delays, or unfinished conversations are all in the air. Someone Else reversed suggests the third-party energy is either no longer a factor or being revealed for what it was. Still, the presence of Liar at the bottom calls for serious discernment. Has the truth been skewed? Has someone manipulated what you believed to be real? Or is this you avoiding speaking the truth yourself? Memories are playing a big role here, possibly clouding your judgment or keeping you tethered to the emotional highs of what once was. But bitterness is still lurking below the surface, pointing to unresolved pain. Heart Fog reversed says the emotional static may be clearing, so pay attention to what’s finally making sense. Whether you’re entertaining a return or trying to make peace with the past, make sure you’re seeing things clearly, not just through rose-colored nostalgia.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18):
Cards: Air Sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), Curse (Hex, witchcraft, negative mind)
Bottom of Deck: Pride Reversed (Arrogance, ego, stubborn)You're showing up strongly in your own reading, which means the message is hitting close to home. The Air Sign card reminds you to lead with intellect, clarity, and honesty—qualities that may be hard to access if you're feeling weighed down by negative thinking or energetic interference, as shown by the Curse card. Whether it’s self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, or toxic patterns, something may be clouding your mental space and throwing you off balance. Pride reversed suggests you’re being called to drop the ego and soften, vulnerability is your key to freedom. This is a moment to cleanse your energy, get back to your mental center, and break free from any distorted narratives that are dimming your light.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20):
Cards: Past Life Reversed (Déjà vu, repeated patterns, karmic lessons), Pets (Getting a new pet, giving a current pet more love)
Top of Deck 1: Communicate → Health → Guardian Reversed
Top of Deck 2: Influences (Attachments, third parties, peers)You’re stuck in a cycle that needs to be broken. Old karmic patterns and emotional echoes from the past keep resurfacing because you're still making the same decisions, even though it’s time to step away. Past Life reversed offers a chance to break free, but only if you're ready to stop repeating what’s holding you back. Pets encourages nurturing rituals or connecting with animals for healing and grounding. You’re being nudged to choose peace over these old patterns. Guardian reversed shows you’re not fully listening to the guidance from your spirit team and pushing away what you’re meant to receive. Communicate brings a message about compromise, forgiveness, and working things out. Negative energy is lingering because you're holding on to it, but it’s time to let go and open up to what spirit is trying to show you. Health is a warning—if you don’t break this cycle, health issues may arise. It’s time to step out of Lala Land and face the reality of what needs to change.
