Your Tarot Reading for the Week of May 26
You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let's go!
A busy week ahead astrologically which means you can expect all kinds of insights and epiphanies to arise. Judgment is the tarot's perfect mirror. It lets you see who you really are, top to bottom, inside and out, good and bad. An objective viewpoint will emerge from the chaos this week and you'll be better for it. We are really busy with the stars, and that's why so much new depth of insight is exposed: Saturn is moving into Aries (take the initiative and commit), Mercury is moving into Gemini (education is a priority) and there's a New Moon in Gemini starting May 26 at 11:01 p.m. EST (express yourself in a new way or to a new audience). Spend time processing and meditating this week to get the full benefit of all of this stimulus.
The King of Wands is your sign's own king as he rules over the fire element. He is your leader, and when he's around, you're somehow bigger, bolder, better. This is an elevated version of you in play this week so aim high and act with true, pure purpose and intent. Focus on your goals. Lead with ambition and enthusiasm. Travel, learn, explore, ask, listen well, live healthy, be pro active. Sky's the limit when you're being a king.
Betrayal is an action that creates ripples. More people become embroiled and affected than just the person wronged, or the people doing the wrong. It's a chain reaction, sometimes of misery, but also of truth and understanding, of endings and new beginnings. The Three of Swords shows you've been tagged in such a chain reaction somehow and you're learning your role in this ripple! Be a force for good, kindness, honesty, and mercy. Do what needs to be done, take a life lesson, and make something positive out of it all.
We are in your season now, Gem, and this Ace of Pentacles is a beautiful invitation to start a year-long project or role that will move you to an even better position or place. Pick a goal. Make a plan. Create a vision for a "future you" that is inspiring. And activate it NOW. This could pertain to health, wealth, work, or home, or a blend of those things. This is about investing in yourself, to improve your lot, status, and wellbeing. This investment is the greatest birthday gift you could give to yourself!
Secret admirer time! What bliss. Of course, you are one of the most alluring and attractive zodiac signs so I bet you're used to this attention! A sensible, stoic Earth sign (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) is admiring your style and character, and would like to get to know you better. They possess an opposite energy to you, but that can be very appealing. This is likely to be a romantic attraction, but could relate to a soulful friendship opportunity as well. It might even be a workplace attraction, so look out! Notice who lingers, who smiles at you shyly, who always seems to say kind things.
Temperance brings balance and moderation to your realm, a hiatus from the drama, clickbait, and temptation that passes your door every five minutes, Leo! Step back, chill out, ground yourself in wholesome, healthy, even dare I say boring stuff. You're ready for a breather, to recalibrate, to rejuvenate your spirits, and to just let your feelings catch up with recent events. You can't live in a whirlwind 24/7. Take this week as a time out from the craziness. Rest, relax, seek respite. This will literally do you good.
Decision-making comes easily and naturally to you because you're a logical and discerning character. You enjoy weighing things up, measuring the outcomes against each other, and applying your reasoning. So why aren't you being like this now? The Two of Wands warns that you could lose out on something if you don't make a firm decision and narrow down the options for the way ahead very quickly. Procrastination won't lead you anyplace but in circles. Start making traction and creating a path.
The High Priestess is a beautiful, feminine card about listening to and trusting your own intuition, indeed even psychic intelligence. Be passive, be still, be meditative. Information, inspiration, and insight are going to flow your way and bring you an amazing surge of confidence and self-awareness that you can work with right now to make goals, good choices, and magical plans for your best future. It all starts within. It's all already inside and waiting to be heard. Tune in.
You can't always wait until you feel fully ready before embarking on an adventure or new course of action. In fact, rarely did anyone feel ready about anything. You learn as you go. So stop using this as an excuse to put off doing what, deep down, you know you really want to do! The Page of Swords is a green light, full permission, a go signal. Even if you're not ready, even if you still have doubts, the only way to really find out is to try. And if it fails, so what. You can just go do something else. Don't overthink it.
Sagittarians are strong people. You are ruled by fire and therefore passionate and competitive, and Jupiter brings you enormous energy and optimism, and you're mutable so you're also flexible and adaptable to life's wildness. Strength comes into your life this week to remind you of your power and force. Wield it wisely, but DO wield it. Don't hide your light, or back down, or suppress your energy. You were meant to be noticed, attract attention and rivals, fight harder battles than others, and win bigger prizes. Your life is larger than life! Embrace it.
Caps aren't known as Chatty Cathys but you do have things to say, you do appreciate the value of networking, and you are a clear and concise communicator. So, this week, the Eight of Wands asks you to prioritize communication and get yourself seen, heard, and understood. Something good will come of this effort. It feels like a workplace or career- related project, so it feels like this is you making demands, pitching ideas, sharing ambitions, seeking feedback and maybe creating collaborations. When we speak, we release energy, and that energy always turns into something!
Transformation lies ahead for you, Aquarius. A process of change will start this week that really goes deep and wide in your realm, for the better, and will take from now until November to fully reveal its prizes and fruits. Embark on this with confidence. It starts with an ending, something you feel has run its course. This ending leaves a space behind. And you look for things to fill it. And, in doing so, activate a chain reaction of new options and ideas that are currently hidden from view. This is going to be eye opening!
Make a wish, Pisces, and sprinkle fairy dust all over it by taking overt steps in the direction of your goal. The Star is the tarot's most powerful wish fulfillment card, it's like meeting a genie and being granted your heart's desire. Be positive and optimistic. Be led by hope, not fear or doubt. This is a week that will feel like a dream. Magical things are going to happen for you, things that you didn't think were possible for you. Dream a dream, make it bigger and bolder, and step towards it. This is your time.

Daily Horoscope for June 22, 2025
General Daily Insight for June 22, 2025 There's a game of cosmic bumper cars happening overhead. The Sun in Cancer is locking into a confrontational square with Saturn in Aries at 2:30 am EDT, forcing us to get serious if we ever want to see any action being taken — by us or by someone else. Mars in Virgo will meanwhile quincunx Pluto in Aquarius, making it difficult to express our fire without getting burnt. Lastly, the Moon will enter mercurial Gemini, so communication will be key to finding a way forward. Aries March 21 – April 19 Hold your horses, Aries. The Sun in your careful 4th house is making one of its two yearly squares to icy Saturn, but this is the first time in nearly three decades that it is doing so with Saturn in your courageous sign. You may feel stopped in your tracks suddenly, or like you must tend to an important matter that you cannot ignore any longer. A family member might need you to step in and be the adult. Saturn expects maturity from you. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Something could be holding you back. You want to go-go-go while the Sun is in your busy 3rd house, showing you plenty of people to see and things to do. Contrastingly, as the Sun locks into a cold square with stoic Saturn in your mystifying 12th house, you could feel rather out of sorts. Perhaps you are feeling a bit more fragile than usual, or simply don't feel very social for the time being. Don't fight this energy, but don't ignore it, either. Gemini May 21 – June 20 Collaborators may prove less helpful than usual right now. You are in one of the most productive phases of the year while the Sun resides in your 2nd House of Earned Income, but it's getting tangled up with Saturn in your 11th House of Social Networks. Watch out for roadblocks! People you were counting on to help out might leave you high and dry, or your friends could wind up distracting you from the work you should be doing. Interruptions are everywhere. Cancer June 21 – July 22 The finish line isn't going to get any closer unless you take steps to get there. Today, the stars are encouraging mindful progress and productivity as the Sun in your intuitive sign squares off masterful Saturn in your career sector. Saturn rules this arena, making it easy for it (and you!) to operate at maximum capacity. Let the stars light your ideal path forward. This guidance doesn't mean reaching your destination will be easy, but Saturn shouldn't lead you astray. Leo July 23 – August 22 You don't have to 'win' to succeed. You may feel a tad out of it, or like your energy levels are lower than normal while the Sun is in your sleepy 12th house. Opposingly, the Sun is locking into a square with Saturn in your boundless 9th house, leaving you to feel like you're being pushed too far, too fast. To avoid getting lost along the way, make a point of slowing down and taking things one step at a time. Virgo August 23 – September 22 A certain dark cloud is hanging over an otherwise sunny day. You are being invited to spend time with your preferred people while the Sun is in your outgoing 11th house, but a square to no-nonsense Saturn in your private 8th house could throw a wrench in that. Perhaps you need to step back to deal with a serious issue, or you abruptly become not interested in chit-chat, and only want serious conversation. Easy-breezy can be fun, but it isn't your vibe for the moment. Libra September 23 – October 22 People won't always say what you want them to. You are set on your goals while the Sun is in your ambitious 10th house, but its square to uncompromising Saturn in your collaboration zone could have someone either naysaying or otherwise derailing your plans. Maybe they'll show you ten good reasons why they won't work, or they simply don't heap praise on you like you would prefer. Pay attention, though; what they say may be more helpful and insightful than you first realize. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 You can't abandon reality at a time like this. The Sun in your freewheeling 9th house is bothering stiff Saturn in your responsible 6th house, commanding you to roll up your sleeves and put your nose to the grindstone — even if you'd rather dance off into the sunset. That isn't to say your entire day needs to be one big work party, but you will likely need to tend to business before you can give any time to your pleasure. Efficiency is required. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 Satisfaction can mean a lot of different things. You are experiencing a moment of growth as the Sun in your transformational 8th house collides with staid Saturn in your passionate 5th house. This forces you to evaluate the ways in which you find pleasure and check whether any of them have become outdated. You may realize that the things that used to bring a smile to your face don't manage it quite so well anymore. Look for something that will ignite that fire instead. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Someone may push your buttons. A tough square between the Sun in your 7th House of Connections and your ruler Saturn in your sensitive 4th house could result in a particular person saying or doing something that rubs you the wrong way. Even if they have the best intentions, you're allowed to resent their critique. Still, don't ignore the truth — whether or not it's what you want to hear. Try to see where people mean well, but also where they possibly don't. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Expect delays, Aquarius. You are prepared to march along without flagging while the Sun is in your daily work sector, but that capable energy will get thrown off course when the Sun trips over Saturn in your local community sector. This could result in anything from a traffic jam making you late for an important appointment to confusing the timing of events and winding up at the wrong location. Give yourself wiggle room when doing just about anything, and be patient with everyone, including yourself. Pisces February 19 – March 20 Sometimes you have to work before you can play. It is perfectly natural if you want to kick off your shoes and go live life to the fullest while the Sun is in your cheerful 5th house, but a solar square to Saturn in your hard-working 2nd house will demand that you change focus. You might need to tend to some monetary issues, or maybe you'll realize that your preferred hobbies are costing you a bit more than they should. Figure out your finances.

Seventy years after his premature death, there's still never been anyone in these parts quite like Harry Agganis
I was one of the many young lads growing up in the '50s who was enraptured by the fictional exploits of Clair Bee's Chip Hilton, a brilliant three-sports star who also never said or did anything wrong. But young people growing up in our area from 1945-55 actually had such a real-life model in Agganis, who received equal praise in his lifetime for his athletic accomplishments and the way he carried himself on a daily basis. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up He began compiling his résumé in his early teens, when he attracted attention for his summertime baseball exploits. Before he was out of high school, he would play in baseball All-Star Games in Wrigley Field, Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, and, of course, Fenway Park. His Lynn Classical baseball team would win a state championship. He would have a high school football career without equal. Then came Boston University, a brief stint in the Marine Corps, and a move to the Boston Red Sox, who beat out the NFL for his services. Advertisement One more thing: Agganis's basketball exploits also were worthy of a college scholarship. A teammate happened to be Kentucky great — and future Celtic — Lou Tsioropoulos, who played with Agganis at Classical before graduating from Lynn English. Related : Advertisement Agganis's influence on his collegiate alma mater is on display 365 days a year with the presence on Commonwealth Avenue of the dazzling Agganis Arena. Naming it in his honor was an easy call. Along the way, he twice landed on the cover of Sport magazine, which was a must-read for any serious fan at that time. The first time it was a solo, and the second time it was shared with Allie Reynolds, Doak Walker, and Jackie Robinson, which was pretty good company. Agganis made such an impression as a Marine in his one year in uniform that a field has been named for him at Camp Lejeune. And, are you ready for this? On June 6, 1954, he hit a winning home run at Fenway against the Tigers, and when the game was over he hustled down Comm. Ave. to Braves Field, where he received his BU degree. Even Chip Hilton never did that. Nor Mickey Mantle. It was the only time a local athlete was cheered in two major league ballparks on the same day. Have I mentioned he had a fan club while in high school? Or that he also had the lead in his high school's production of 'Stage Door'? His Lynn Classical days will never be repeated. With southpaw quarterback Harry Agganis at the controls, Classical became a power. 'Manning Bowl was the place to be,' says Johnson. No kidding. Classical played to an estimated 160,000 people during the 1947 season. That was the follow-up to the fabulously successful 1946 campaign, when Classical topped it off by defeating Granby High of Norfolk, Va., in the North-South Shrine Game, which was played in the Orange Bowl. Advertisement Classical made news the following year by spurning an invitation to defend its crown for a most exemplary reason. Led by Agganis, Classical refused to leave behind Black teammates Paul Pittman and Tom Smith. This was in sharp contrast to the shameful Boston College decision six years earlier to play in the Sugar Bowl without Black running back Lou Montgomery. It is impossible to exaggerate Agganis's football skill. He passed. He ran. He punted. His nephew Mike Agganis loves to point out that one year he also intercepted a pass for every TD toss. Statistics and touchdowns are only the beginning of the Harry Agganis story. His elders had never encountered anyone like him. 'I have never once heard him say an unkind word about anybody nor utter an oath or curse,' said his high school football coach, Bill Joyce. 'In all my 28 years of coaching boys at Classical, he is the only boy from whom I have actually learned and from who I have actually sought advice.' Harry Agganis was not a mere local phenomenon. In 1947, he was chosen captain of the All-America high school football team by the 'Wigwam Wisemen of Oklahoma.' The word was out. He was recruited by more than 60 schools, which was a lot in those days. Among his most ardent pursuers was Notre Dame immortal Frank Leahy. It turned out those outsiders never had a chance. To the delight of Terriers coach Buff Donelli, Agganis chose BU because he didn't want to go far away from his widowed mother. A few years later, he would use the same reasoning to choose the Red Sox. Advertisement Before that choice, however, there was a stellar career at BU. It did not take long for people to take notice. In November 1949, Agganis's sophomore year, legendary Washington Post columnist Shirley Povich wrote the following: 'With each succeeding Saturday, what was Agganis's purely localized fame in New England has been burgeoning all over the football landscape.' The big issue eventually confronting Agganis was deciding between a professional career in football or baseball. Cleveland Browns pooh-bah Paul Brown lusted for him, but in the end Agganis chose to stay with the hometown team in what was still America's favorite sport. As was the custom everywhere he went, Agganis became the toast of Louisville en route to Fenway. He was named 'Colonel of the Year' by the Triple A affiliate, citing his 'brilliant performances on the field and his gentlemanly disposition.' After going through an up-and-down rookie season in 1954, he was figuring things out and was batting a robust .313 with some power when he was stricken with a blood clot issue in early June. He entered the hospital on June 5, 1955. He died of a pulmonary embolism emanating from the blood clot on June 27. The front page of the June 27, 1955, Boston Evening Globe shared the news of the death of Harry Agganis. Globe archives The news was stunning. Harry Agganis was Boston's young prince. He was only 26. How could this be? Austen Lake of the Boston Record-American spoke for countless thousands when he wrote, 'Now Harry is dead! My ears hear it, but my mind rejects the idea.' Mike Gillooly of the Record-American added this: 'He appeared immune to pain, plague, pox, virus, and that's why the death of Harry Agganis yesterday pierced the heart of the city; plunged the entire sports world into deep grief.' Advertisement The story was only going to get better. A deal was being worked out with the Red Sox allowing Agganis to report to training camp with the Baltimore Colts in 1955. Nope. You couldn't make this up. With Harry Agganis, you never had to fabricate anything. He just was. Bob Ryan can be reached at
