Happy Halloween Week! 👻 I have my candy, the house is almost ready to go, and it’s all things spooky from now until Friday!
Our messages this week come from Todd Alcott’s Horror Tarot, one of my favourite decks for this time of year. Each reading this week has a special twist: instead of a question, challenge or affirmation, each is paired with a Halloween costume.
Coming Up:
I’m here all week! Daytime and evening availability is open every day this week through October 30th, both in-person and online. Sessions are available during the day on the 31st. Book your time here.
Take a look at the messages for your sun, moon, and rising signs to see what fits in best with where you are (or if you’re just looking for a different Halloween costume vibe). Unsure what your placements are? Visit AstroCafe. and do a natal chart calculation to find out!

The Chariot: It’s go time! Get clear on your direction, and put pedal to the metal. You’re in the driver’s seat; so make sure that you’re steering yourself in the way you actually want to go. As long as you remained focus and dedicated towards your end destination, you will get there. Don’t let road blocks get in your way; use your determination to find a way around them right on through. Realize that you’ll need to let go of what’s comfortable to reach your goals. Trust the momentum as it builds. Once you’re moving with purpose, the universe tends to clear the path ahead. Keep your eyes forward and your confidence high.
Halloween Costume: Gladiator – strong, focused, and unstoppable. Win the battle and claim your victory.
Three of Wands: You’re entering a period of expansion and growth; heading out in new directions, and moving closer towards your ambitions. Keep your eyes open for new opportunities, and don’t be afraid to test the waters to see what works. Part of expanding is learning. You’ve already reached the first check point, so get excited, and allow momentum to continue to build. Trust that what you’ve set in motion is unfolding, and get ready to ride that wave. Stay curious, stay bold, and keep looking ahead to the horizon.
Halloween Costume: Sailor – gazing towards new horizons, ready to explore and embrace opportunities. Adventure, curiosity, and forward momentum.
Five of Wands: You may find yourself wrapped up in competition this week, feeling like you have to work harder to be seen or heard. This isn’t to say that your ideas aren’t worth sharing, but there’s a lot of other energy vying for attention. Speak louder if you need, but remember to listen to others. When we hold space and stay open to hearing new ideas, we have fresh fuel to add to the fire. Remember that a little friendly competition can spark growth, creativity, and unexpected wins; just don’t get stuck in the comparison game. As they say, comparison is the thief of joy.
Halloween Costume: Game Show Contestant – you’re taking on the competition with your unique energy and flair.
The Hanged Man: This week you’re being encouraged to slow down; to take some time to pause, knowing that it’s okay if you don’t push forward, especially if you’re not ready. Sometimes a break can help to shift our perspective, and see another way through. If you’re feeling particularly stuck, take a step back from the situation. View your challenge or situation from a different vantage point, and you’ll likely see another path through. Most importantly, give yourself permission to surrender; release the need to control the outcome and trust that clarity will come through contemplation.
Halloween Costume: Astronaut – just hanging out in space, surrendering control, and seeing things from a whole new angle.
Eight of Cups: Where in your life is energy feeling stuck or stagnant? If there’s something you’ve been trying to fix or make work, whether it’s a dream, a project, a relationship, or a situation, it may be time to realize that it’s no longer serving you. Forcing more energy into it won’t change how it is; the wisest step is to let it go. While emotional ties like guilt, fear, or shame can make walking away feel difficult, releasing what no longer works opens the door to a flow of fresh, new energy. Trust that stepping away isn’t failure; it’s creating space for something better to enter.
Halloween Costume: Ghost – sometimes moving on is the bravest and most liberating journey you can take.
Three of Cups: Clear your schedule! It’s time to make room for friendship, and connection (unless that’s already on your calendar of course). Spend time with the people that see you and celebrate you for who you are. Lean into your friendships for support, and be there to offer the same. Share laughter, create joy, and make memories that you’ll continue to cherish long after the week is over. This is a moment to nurture your bonds, honour the people who lift you up, and let the energy of connection rejuvenate your spirit.
Halloween Costume: Witch – gather your coven raise a toast, and let the magic of community and shared fun guide you.
Three of Swords: Whether you’ve recently gone through something, or are experiencing it this week, there may be pangs of hurt, loss, or disappointment swelling up. Give yourself permission to feel and release: cry if you need to, talk it out with someone you trust, or write your thoughts down. Suppressing these emotions won’t help you move through the energy. Know that sometimes we don’t get the answers or closure we hope for, and that’s okay. Healing comes from acknowledging what is, allowing yourself to feel, and slowly letting the heartache transform into clarity and understanding.
Halloween Costume: Storm Cloud – bringing in that emotional intensity and upheaval; sometimes storms must pass before the sun returns.
Queen of Pentacles: Take stock of the many different things you’re capable of, and acknowledge how much effort and dedication has brought you to where you are. Tap into your grounded, nurturing side, balancing productivity with self-care. Pair checking off that to-do list with moments of rest and indulgence, as this Queen knows the importance of work and play in harmony. Be thoughtful and intentional with how you invest your time, energy, and resources. Know your worth, honour your boundaries, and don’t accept anything less than what supports your growth, abundance, and well-being.
Halloween Costume: Cleopatra – radiate power, confidence, and abundance. Make the most of your resources whilst blending elegance and practicality.
Ace of Wands: The spark is igniting; now is the time to take an idea and put it into motion. Say yes to the opportunity, and realize that having it sit in your mind is no longer enough. There’s so much potential here, but it needs focus, energy, and momentum to truly take off. Trust your instincts and act with confidence. The energy is ripe for new beginnings, creative projects, or bold moves. Even small steps can set a powerful chain reaction in motion. Embrace the excitement, channel your passion, and let this burst of inspiration propel you forward.
Halloween Costume: Pyromancer – embody the raw energy, passion, and spark of new beginnings. Channel that fire, take bold action.
Temperance: Embrace balance, harmony, and moderation in all areas of your life, knowing that leaning too far in one direction can throw you off course. Find the middle path, blending opposites, and integrating different aspects of yourself with care and intention. Remember that all parts of you combine to make a beautiful whole. How can you bring more equilibrium into your daily routines, relationships, and mindset? This is a week to practice patience, cultivate mindfulness, and approach challenges with a calm, steady hand.
Halloween Costume: Angel – blend balance, peace, and equilibrium into every part of your life. Harmony and healing are key.
Six of Pentacles: What are the different ways you share your time, energy, and resources with others? And how do you allow yourself to receive in return? Generosity is most meaningful when it flows in both directions; it nurtures connections, builds trust, and strengthens the sense of community around you. When giving, be sure that there is some form of exchange, whether that’s time, money, energy, or expertise. If you continuously give, and never receive in return, what value does that truly add to your life? On the flip side, if you’re constantly taking, be aware that the well will eventually run dry if you never give back.
Halloween Costume: Robin Hood – share your resources, support others, and find harmony in what you give and what you receive in return.
Knight of Pentacles: Take things one step, one day at a time this week. There’s no need to hurry, or rush through to the next goal post. Stay patient and consistent, dotting the i’s, and crossing the t’s. Slow down and do things the right way now, so you don’t have to backtrack later to fix. While you may not see instant results, it doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward. Don’t be afraid to simplify and show up fully present, grounded, and intentional in each action you take. Trust that the effort you put in today is shaping the foundation for something lasting and meaningful.
Halloween Costume: Lumberjack – steady, grounded, and persistent, making progress one step at a time. Grounded, and practical.
