Tarotscopes - Week of October 6th

It’s officially the first full week of October, and that means tarotscopes are going spooky! For the next few weeks, I’ll be using some of my favourite decks for the Halloween season.

 

This week’s deck is the Horror Tarot by Aria Gmitter, Minerva Siegel and Abigail Larson.

 

 Coming Up:

  • I had a wonderful time at the Vintage Venture on Saturday – so much so, that I’m heading back on October 25th! If you’re looking for a fun way to spend a Saturday evening, swing by to browse the shop, and get your cards read! Booking details coming soon!
  • The next Tarot Practice Session will be on Wednesday, October 22nd at 7:30pm eastern. We’ll be digging in to one of the most well-known tarot spreads, the Celtic Cross. It’s all happening live on Zoom, and you can save your spot here.
  • Whether you read for yourself, or get readings done, do you struggle to come up with something to ask? Grab my free guide, 140 Questions for the Cards for a list of insightful, deep, and fun things to ask! Great for readings, or just for practice.

And you know my weekly reminder! Be sure to take a gander at your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs and take the message (or messages) that relate most to where you currently are. If you don’t know what that means for you, you can calculate your Natal Chart at AstroCafe.

♈︎ - Aries

Four of Pentacles: You may feel like walling up, holding your cards close, and protecting everything you’ve worked for, and sometimes, that’s not a bad thing. Focus on stability and security, but do so from a place of empowerment rather than fear or lack. Consider where loosening your grip might actually create more growth, flow, and fulfillment. That could mean investing your resources wisely, spending a little time or money on yourself, or allowing someone you trust to support you. True security comes not just from holding on tightly, but from balancing protection with trust and openness.

 

Affirmation: I create stability from a place of empowerment, and find balance in protecting and investing my resources.

♉︎ - Taurus

Two of Swords: You may find yourself at a crossroads this week, feeling stuck in indecision, and that can be frustrating. Instead of making up stories or excuses, take the time to gather information, ask questions, and do a little research. But be careful not to fall into analysis paralysis. Remember: we don’t always know if the decision we’re making is the “right” one, and that’s okay. What matters is that you move forward. It’s time to pull off the bandage and make a choice. Not choosing is still a choice, and sitting on the fence only gives your power away. Trust yourself, lean into clarity, and take ownership of your decisions.

 

Affirmation: I trust myself to make decisions, honour my power, and move forward with clarity.

♊︎ - Gemini

The High Priestess: It’s important this week to hone into your intuition. What is it saying to you? What signs, symbols, or repeating messages are you seeing out in the world, or in your dreams? Pay attention as you move through your day to day as sometimes the most important insights arrive subtly. Embrace the unknown with the acceptance that there are mysteries in this universe that aren’t meant to be fully understood, at least, not right now. Trust that things are unfolding with divine timing. Your role is not to force answers, but to listen, observe, and allow the wisdom within to guide you.

 

Affirmation: I trust my intuition, embrace the mysteries of life, and allow wisdom to unfold in its perfect timing.

♋︎ - Cancer

Ace of Wands: The spark of something new is igniting, and it’s calling you to take bold action. You have ideas, ambitions, and a drive ready to move, but thinking about it is no longer enough. The first steps are waiting for you; all you need to do is take them. Embrace a sense of adventure, be brave in your pursuit, and see where the fire can lead you. Channel your energy intentionally into something meaningful, or risk scattering it in too many directions at once. Trust your instincts, harness your passion, and take that leap! New beginnings thrive on action and courage.

 

Affirmation: I embrace new beginnings with courage, focus my energy, and take inspired action toward my dreams.

♌︎ - Leo

The Empress: You’re being called to create this week; to take your ideas and bring them into the world, whether through art, practical projects, or anything that feels alive and tangible. Nurture yourself and your imagination, giving your ideas room to grow. Be fully present, and connect with the world around you. Maybe that means caring for a friend or family member, tending to your home, or simply stepping outside to breathe in the crisp air and soak up the blue skies. This week is about more than just creating, it’s about noticing, appreciating, and cultivating life in all its forms.

 

 Affirmation: I nurture my creativity, embrace the world around me, and allow my ideas to grow and flourish.

♍︎ - Virgo

Queen of Pentacles: This is your reminder to know and accept nothing less than your worth, whether at work, in relationships, or simply in everyday life. You are competent, capable, and naturally skilled at taking the reins and getting things done. But remember, your value isn’t measured by how much you do for others. Make time for enjoyment, nourishment, and self-care. Take a grounded, practical approach to challenges. Balance action with rest, and know that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of those around you.

 

Affirmation: I honour my worth, nurture myself with care, and approach life with grounded confidence.

♎︎ - Libra

Four of Wands: Spend some extra energy this week connecting with the  people and places that feel like home; the ones that make you feel supported, safe, and like you truly belong. You’ve reached a point where you’ve built a solid foundation for yourself, so relax and enjoy the fruits of your efforts. Make memories, laugh until your cheeks hurt, and savour the moments of connection and joy. Harmony, community and a little extra gratitude are the keys to continued success. Celebrate milestones, whether big or small, and enjoy all life has to offer.

 

Affirmation: I celebrate my progress, honour my journey, and embrace joy, connection, and belonging.

♏︎ - Scorpio

Eight of Wands: It can be hard to walk away from something that is no longer working. When energy feels stagnant and keeps you stuck, no amount of trying to fix it will make it thrive. This is a time to withdraw, to step back, and to give yourself the space to process lingering or difficult emotions. Reflect on what truly serves you and what no longer fits in your life. There are bigger, brighter, and more fulfilling opportunities ahead: people, experiences, and situations that invite joy, growth, and flow. Moving on can sometimes feel like failure, but it’s actually an act of courage and self-respect.

 

Affirmation:I release what no longer serves me, and welcome brighter possibilities into my life.

♐︎ - Sagittarius

King of Wands: This is your week to take the reins, step into your power, and lead with confidence and vision. You have ideas and ambitions that are ready to be seen, and it’s time to own them fully. Remember that leadership isn’t about control, it’s about inspiration. Let your passion ignite the way, and others will naturally be drawn to your energy. Move forward with boldness, creativity, and a little bit of good old-fashioned charm. Trust in your ability to motivate, influence, and create momentum. You’ve got what it takes to bring your ideas to life.

 

Affirmation: I lead with passion, confidence, and purpose, inspiring others through my example.

♑︎ - Capricorn

Eight of Wands: Woohoo! Change is heading your way, and things are starting to pick up speed! Momentum is building, and the energy around you is moving fast. This is a time of action, alignment, and progress; the green lights are flashing, and it’s all systems go! Get excited, get motivated, and say yes to opportunities that feel right. Just remember, this isn’t about saying yes to everything; tune into your gut and trust your instinct. If you’ve been waiting for movement or clarity, it’s coming. Get yourself ready, and ride the wave of energy that’s carrying you forward.

 

Affirmation: I am open to change and opportunity that brings fresh momentum into my life.

♒︎ - Aquarius

Three of Wands: You’ve already set forth on a plan or an idea, and now is the time for things to really grow and expand. You’ve laid the groundwork, so tend to that fire with energy, focus, and enthusiasm. Think big, stretch beyond what’s familiar, and trust in the direction you’re heading. The path ahead may not be fully clear yet, but be open to new opportunities, and don’t be afraid to test the waters. Be curious, be bold, and keep your eyes on the big picture. Expansion comes through vision and action, so take aligned steps towards your dreams.

 

Affirmation: I am open to growth, adventure, and new opportunities that align in alignment with my goals.

♓︎ - Pisces

The Hermit: Slow down, and tune in. Instead of rushing forward with a plan or an idea, take some time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life so you can be alone with your thoughts. Step back from the noise, the scrolling, and the opinions, and let your own inner wisdom rise to the surface. This is a week for stillness, reflection, and introspection. You might find that what you’ve been searching for isn’t out there: it’s been waiting quietly within you all along. Sometimes the best answers come softly from beneath the surface, and the only way to hear them is by giving yourself permission to pause and listen.

 

Affirmation: I trust the wisdom that comes from stillness and allow space for my inner voice to guide me.
