Tarotscopes - Week of October 7th
Spooky season is in full swing! And for the month of October, I’ll be using my more creepy-inclined tarot decks.
Starting off strong is Todd Alcott’s Horror Tarot. This is such a cool deck which turns each of the 78 cards in a tarot deck into horror movie posters.
To get the most out Tarotscopes, be sure to check your sun, moon, and rising and see what resonates most with where you are.

Aries
Page of Wands: What ideas have you been wanting to take action on, but hesitating? Now is the time to jump in. Go forth with courage, and the desire to experience something different from the every day. Give yourself permission to be free; to chase a dream, ambition or moment of creativity. See where it takes you.
Challenge: Try something new that you’ve been wanting to do this week.
Taurus
Nine of Swords: There’s a lot going on in that mind of yours, and it’s hard to get a grasp of your thoughts – especially those no-so-productive ones. This week, work on facing the fears and anxieties that keep you up at night. Remember that while you can’t control what you’re going to think next, you can work on gaining control over what thoughts you give power to.
Challenge: Purge those recurring thoughts. Write them down, voice memo them, scream them out. Whatever works.
Gemini
Death: Change is necessary for growth. Instead of trying to run from it, allow endings to happen, and change to come. Work on letting something go; maybe it’s something internal like a thought, belief or an aspect of who you were. Or perhaps there’s a relationship, an ambition or physical clutter that needs to be shed. Give yourself permission to say goodbye.
Challenge: Declutter an area of your home, work, or car that has become filled up with stuff. You don’t have to keep it all.
Cancer
King of Cups: Seek balance between the heart and mind. Where the mind shows experience and knowledge, the heart leads with love, and compassion. Nothing can knock you off your feet unless you let it; stay calm, cool, and collected under pressure. Bring awareness to your emotions as a way to process them. You are a leader and others look up to you. Remember that.
Challenge: Support someone this week. Be a mentor or a shoulder to lean on.
Leo
Nine of Wands: Expect a few bumps in the road this week, and don’t let them derail you. You may find yourself tired of facing challenge after challenge (even the small ones), but know that you’re strong, and resilient. You’ve overcome them before, and you will this time, too. Keep going, and ensure that you’re maintaining healthy boundaries to conserve your energy.
Challenge: Set and maintain a boundary that you’ve been lacking on lately.
Virgo
Two of Cups: Connection and unity are key this week. Remember that you have people in your life that love you, care for you, and appreciate you exactly for who you are. Foster those connections. Don’t be afraid to open up, and be vulnerable. Have an honest heart to heart, and strengthen those important bonds.
Challenge: Go on a date! Whether it’s with a romantic partner, a family member or a friend, spend time with someone you love.
Libra
The High Priestess: Hone in on your intuition. Give yourself time to bring awareness to those gut feelings, and really listen to what the universe is trying to tell you. You may not have all the answers yet, and that’s okay. The focus this week is seeking inner wisdom, and trusting in your voice to find the way through.
Challenge: Pay special attention to repeating signs, symbols and dreams. Make notes, and don’t be afraid to look something up. What messages are you receiving?
Scorpio
The Hierophant: Sometimes the road most travelled is the best route to take. And that’s not to say the way you want to do things is wrong, but now is not the time to rock the boat and fight the good fight. There is a certain amount of wisdom to be learned from the way it’s always been. Learn that wisdom first. Then decide what rules and traditions are ready to be broken.
Challenge: Incorporate ritual or tradition into your week in a meaningful way.
Sagittarius
Seven of Swords: We don’t always get to know the whole story, and that can make us feel like we’re being shut out to betrayed. You have a strong moral center and sense of justice, but realize that sometimes, the fastest route, the one that cuts corners, is the best one to take. Don’t get in your own way; use what you have to your benefit.
Challenge: Be flexible this week, especially when challenges arise. Take the shortcut.
Capricorn
Six of Pentacles: Giving of your time, money, energy, or expertise is a valuable thing; be generous this week in a way that makes sense and fits with where you are. Being charitable doesn’t always need to mean money. If you need help with something, ask – support is around you, especially when you’re willing to give back in return.
Challenge: Be on both sides of the scale: help when asked (and able), and ask for help when in need.
Aquarius
Ten of Wands: You may find yourself overwhelmed and teetering on the edge of exhaustion this week, but know that it won’t last forever. Don’t be afraid to shed some of your load. I understand wanting to push through to the finish line, but know that it’s okay to conserve at least some of your energy. Ask for help when you need it; you don’t have to carry it all alone.
Challenge: Drop some of responsibility you’re carrying this week; especially if what you’re carrying isn’t yours.
Pisces
The Emperor: Focus, self-control, and discipline are your themes this week, especially as you tackle your goals. Routine and structure will help keep you on task. Stay organized, and be decisive in your choices and actions. While it’s important to do what’s best for those in your “kingdom”, remember, you are the authority on your life.
Challenge: Take control of a situation that need to harness control over, but you’ve been shying away from.
