Tarotscopes - Week of October 20th
We’re all getting haunted this week… by the ghosts of the Ghost Tarot!
This is a deck that’s always special to me because it was a gift from my Mom and Dad who picked it up while vacationing in Portugal. They saw a tarot shop, went in, and knowing I love both tarot and ghosts, knew this would be a great match.
But don’t worry, these ghosts are harmless, and only come with wisdom and guidance for the week.
Coming Up:
- I’m back at the Vintage Venture in Niagara Falls this Saturday, October 25th from 5-8pm! Come by to check out all the goodies in the shop, and get a reading. Reserve your time here in advance.
Looking for a solid foundation in reading the cards? I’m hosting two versions of my Tarot Crash Course! First on Saturday, Oct 25th at 10am in my reading room (only two spots left), or online on Saturday, Nov 1st at 1pm via Zoom. Details and registration available here.
It’s a great time to book a reading or a past life regression session! I have extra availability to celebrate spooky season. Daytime sessions are available on Wednesday, Oct 22nd, and throughout the week of Oct 27th.
And if you’ve been here for a while, I know you know. But if you’re new, remember that you’re more than just your sun sign. Be sure to check your sun, moon and rising to see what connects best with where you currently are. If you’re not sure what that means for you, calculate your Natal Chart at AstroCafe.
No salt circles needed, let’s see what these gentle spirits have to say.

♈︎ - Aries
Queen of Swords: It may feel like you’ve been through a few turbulent storms as of late, but now is the time for honesty, clarity, and choices based in reason. Use your words to advocate for what’s important; even if that means needing to have a difficult conversation. Your insight is sharp right now, so trust it to read situations accurately before reacting. Maintain strong, healthy boundaries, but be mindful of when those boundaries protect you versus when they isolate you. This week asks for clear communication and self-awareness in equal measure.
Question: What have you been needing to say, and how can you deliver that message in an impactful but measured way?
♉︎ - Taurus
Six of Wands: This is your sign to give yourself a moment of pause, and see how far you’ve come. Too often we continue to push forward, without taking a moment to really take stock of what we’ve achieved. Even if your progress feels small or understated, it’s still there – so recognize it! Be seen for the effort you put into things, because others do notice. Don’t brush off your hard work as no big deal; be proud, and give yourself a pat on the back. Let success motivate you, but remember that the real victory is in the confidence you’ve built along the way.
Question: What recent accomplishments are you proud of, and how can you celebrate them?
♊︎ - Gemini
Knight of Cups: Emotions are running high this week, with your imagination right along for the ride. Don’t be afraid to follow your heart, and see where the flow of feelings leads, even if it doesn’t always make logical sense. Give into creative or emotional impulses that are begging to be expressed; share how you feel and do so as a way of connecting with others. Instead of giving into idealism and expectation, appreciate things as they are, for what they are. There is so much beauty in this world to explore, and you’ll get far more out of it when you show up authentically, and in flow.
Question: How can you express yourself more openly and freely this week?
♋︎ - Cancer
Ace of Cups: There’s so much potential this week to get into the flow; to create or rekindle connections, to follow the wave of happiness, and to tune into your creativity and intuition. The opportunities are there, but you do have to accept them. Keep your heart open, and move into a state of receivership. Allow your feelings to move through you, noticing what arises without judgement, so that you can create space for understanding, growth, and emotional renewal. Small acts of openness will lead to unexpected joy or deeper insight. Trust that what you give your attention to will flourish, and let yourself receive in equal measure.
Question: What small act of receptivity could shift your perspective or brighten your week?
♌︎ - Leo
Eight of Swords: There’s an energy of feeling trapped or limited this week, but these restrictions are often more mental than physical. It’s easy to get caught up in overthinking, doubting yourself, or imagining worst-case scenarios, but clarity comes when you take off the blindfold and see things for what they are, instead of the story you’ve created them to be. Take a step back and notice where fear or false narratives are keeping you from taking action. It’s time to rewrite the story, knowing that even small changes can break the illusion of being stuck.
Question: What stories are you telling yourself that are keeping you stuck or trapped?
♍︎ - Virgo
Knight of Swords: There’s a surge of mental energy coming your way this week, but be sure to keep your mind focused and sharp. Consider the consequences before making decisions, and if you feel stuck, know that there’s another way through; tap into that problem-solving part of your brain to see it. Channel ambition into thoughtful action. Speak your truth boldly, and stay aligned with your values while moving quickly. Boldness is powerful, but discernment ensures it lands with impact rather than creating unnecessary tension. Choose your words wisely to avoid miscommunication.
Question: How can you use your drive and focus in a way that feels empowering, not exhausting?
♎︎ - Libra
Ten of Cups: Lean into the relationships, and community present in your life that bring harmony, connectedness and joy. Where do you feel supported, and loved? Show up for those people the same way they show up for you. Notice and appreciate the blessings in your life, both big and small. Savour those moments where you experience genuine happiness, allowing them to create more flow and peace within. Focus on what brings you emotional fulfillment. Most importantly, align your actions with the emotional values that matter most, fostering not just joy, but a sense of lasting harmony.
Question: Where is emotional fulfillment present in your life? How can you bring more of that energy into your every day?
♏︎ - Scorpio
The Lovers: Take time to examine the connections and choices that matter most this week. This isn’t just about romance; it’s about realizing that you get to decide who and what you give your love and energy to. Are you making those choices wisely and in a way that feels authentic and aligned? Pay attention to where your heart and mind are in balance, and notice where they may be conflicted. Now is the time to act from authenticity rather than obligation, to honour both your needs and the needs of others, and to approach choices with awareness and compassion.
Question: What choices are you making that reflect your true desires, and where might you be compromising unnecessarily?
♐︎ - Sagittarius
Two of Swords: There’s an energy of indecision or internal conflict this week. While you may feel pulled in different directions, and have difficulty deciding which path to take, know that it is important that you choose. Sitting on the fence is giving your power away. So, take a moment to pause, breathe, and get the answers you need to act. Where might fear, pride, or assumption be keeping you from seeing the whole picture? Weigh your options carefully with your values and long-term vision in mind. And remember: not choosing is still a choice.
Question: What choices are you avoiding, and what information do you need to make a decision and get on with it?
♑︎ - Capricorn
Knight of Pentacles: A detailed, steady and focused approach is the best way forward this week. Progress may feel slow, but it’s important to do it right; dot the i’s, and cross the t’s so that you don’t have to backtrack later. Persistence and consistency will yield meaningful results. Plan carefully, stay disciplined, and commit to the practical steps needed to achieve your goals. Don’t underestimate the power of small, daily actions! Start crossing off all those little things from your to-do list. Balance dedication with patience, and be mindful not to become too rigid or perfectionistic in your approach.
Question: Where could steady, persistent effort bring you closer to your desired outcome?
♒︎ - Aquarius
Four of Swords: If you’re looking for a sign to take a break, well, here it is! Make an extra effort this week to disconnect, and decompress. Get away from the noise and the mental chatter so that you can rest, reflect, and recover. There’s no shame in taking a step back to recharge, and if you don’t, you will burn yourself out. Make space to process recent experiences, gain perspective, and restore energy for what lies ahead. Consider practices that nurture both mind and body, whilst honouring the need for quiet and solitude.
Question: Where could stepping back allow you to see things more clearly or approach life with renewed energy?
♓︎ - Pisces
Nine of Swords: There’s extra attention on worries and anxieties this week, as your mind gets stuck in overthinking overload. Thoughts may feel relentless, and fears can seem amplified. However, it’s important to remember that most of this exists in the mind – not in reality. Instead of getting sucked into the spiral, work towards purging the energy. Express those overwhelming thoughts to help take away their power, whether that’s through journaling, talking to someone, or screaming out in a parking lot. Your thoughts only hold as much power as you give them; so change the hold that they have by reframing them to something more meaningful.
Question: Which thoughts are keeping you up at night, and how can you shift your perspective to find relief?
