What changes are you willing to make to take yourself to greater heights?
The beginning of this week begins with a New Moon in Scorpio on the 13th, allowing us to make big changes and open ourselves up to personal transformation.
As with all New Moons, how can this energy do that precisely resonating with you will depend on it. Especially in insistent, deep Scorpio, this New Moon can resonate with parts of our hearts and psyches in deeply personal, unpredictable ways.
We recommend that you approach this week with a loose plan and a very open mind. But before you decide on any major recommendations, let’s take a look at what the Tarot also recommends.
Your sign’s weekly tarotscope for November 13 – 19, 2023
Ram
8 of Swords (reverse)
Ram may be using the energy of this New Moon to let go of anything that doesn’t serve them.
Sometimes we want to make big changes and add new things to our lives, but we don’t seem to have the space to do so. Or maybe we’re trying to move forward, but we’re completely stopped by an unknown force.
That’s what the 8 of Swords often feels like: uncomfortable restrictions and limitations.
However, turning over this card indicates that you are aware of these things and are taking the necessary steps to release those chains!
Taurus
Queen of Pentacles (reversed)
You don’t have to have everything together yet, Taurus.
The energy of this New Moon and the week ahead looks rocky, but not especially because of any drastic event or difficult hurdle. Instead, the difficulties you may face are more internal in nature now that the Queen of Pentacles is reversed.
This week you will struggle with your own practical senses and your personal abundance. You may be questioning your plans and what you currently own, and thus questioning your ability to cultivate a stable, secure lifestyle.
These insecurities and thoughts come up not to taunt you, but to ask you to actually work through them so that you can come out the other side stronger (and more confident).
Twin
5 of wands
TwinThe week looks chaotic and fiery with the 5 of Wands.
The truth is that sometimes in life there aren’t many profound messages or reasons we can take from our uncomfortable experiences and mistakes. Not everything is a cosmic lesson that we can fully understand, because we are not always meant to ‘get’ everything.
Sometimes a miscommunication is just a miscommunication, and it’s important to roll with the punches and let things go as they come.
This week there will likely be social conflict, chaos and miscommunication, but that doesn’t mean you have to dwell on it.
Cancer
7 of cups
Cancerdo you know what your heart really wants?
With the 7 of Cups on the table, you may have many options available to you, whether it be romantic choices, career options, or all of the above.
Your intuition is cloudy right now. Maybe you’ve already thought about all the possibilities (and gone a little too far in that thought process, and are now back to square one).
Sometimes the ‘right choice’ is fair the making of a and trust that things will work out well on the other side.
Lion
Page with headings (reverse)
Lionyou might be feeling a little creatively burned out right now.
Intuitively, emotionally and creatively, the upside-down page of cups shows that you have an empty tank.
Even though you may really want to connect with this side of yourself (especially at the New Moon), this card’s reversal asks you to rest and take a few steps back.
A piece of advice to keep with you this week: the best ideas can be found when you loosen the reins of your internal compass and creative senses.
Virgin
The Devil (Reverse)
Virginit’s time to go deep within… and see what lies in the darkness.
The Devil Reversed shows Virgos unpacking deeper wounds, shadowy memories, and uncomfortable habits and realities.
You may have needed to explore some truths like these for a while, but the New Moon is knocking on your door and making sure you walk through to the other side.
Honesty and self-reflection are the first real steps to moving forward and actually letting go, so kudos to you for doing the harder work this week.
Scale
Death (reverse)
ScaleChange can actually be a good thing… if you let it in.
Although Death is here to offer personal transformations (with the theme of the New Moon in Scorpio), the reversal of this card indicates that you may be resistant to actually following through with it.
Change is a difficult and challenging thing – it is possible want to to make big steps towards a different future or to completely change course, but that can be accompanied by risky decisions and letting go of the familiar.
However, you will have to trust that you will be okay when you take that step. Work through those feelings of discomfort so you can explore a path that is more true and right for you, Libra.
Scorpion
King of Wands (reverse)
Scorpion may feel restless, uncomfortable and tense this week.
The King of Wands is usually a beacon of light, inspiration, and leadership, but the reversal of this card can push those ambitions to an uncomfortable degree.
Maybe you have a lot you want to do, but not enough time to do it, or you have a lot of dreams and ambitions, but not enough resources to make them happen. This can shake your confidence and require you to look inward… instead of outward, where you may be tempted to focus your attention.
If you want to succeed Scorpio, you need to be able to go with the flow and let go of some control.
Archer
Knight of Wands
Archer is still riding the cheerful, fresh wave that The Fool brought in last week.
This week you take that beginning into your hands in the form of the Knight of Wands, who characterizes an adventurous spirit and a go-getter mentality.
Instead of enjoying the infinite possibilities it offers be able to exists, you are now focused on seizing the moment and actually putting yourself at the forefront, taking risks where necessary and possible.
In other words, Sagittarius will be to make their own possibilities this week! You don’t have to wait anymore.
Ibex
Queen of Wands (reverse)
Ibexyou can’t always do it alone.
The Queen of Wands is usually an enterprising, independent go-getter who does not particularly need the advice or expertise of others. While the risky, passionate approach isn’t always very Capricorn-like, there are certainly still qualities about this card that you can easily resonate with.
However, at this time you may find that your connection to this side of yourself is indeed more tense and conflicted than you would like.
If you can’t stand the heat, it might not be a bad idea to pass the torch to someone else. (There’s no shame in needing help, Capricorn).
Aquarius
Page with magic wands
Aquarius is in a creative, passionate groove this week.
This New Moon energy may just inspire you to new, exciting heights, as the Page of Wands opens you up to new ideas and new sources of inspiration.
For those who want to travel or make new connections, this card bodes well that you are on your way to bringing forth the energy that is just right for that.
You will of course still have to take advantage of those opportunities yourself, but there is a greater chance that they are now on the table!
Fishing
The Lovers (reverse)
FishingMaking heart-to-heart connections is something you want… but it’s not always easy.
The Lovers have turned around comments that this week you may be able to unpack the wounds surrounding your relationship choices and past and present connections.
You may be using this week as a period of self-reflection and really considering that your needs lie in your relationships with others (and perhaps with yourself too).
While it may not always be easy to explore something so close to your heart, emotionally attuned Pisces is definitely a zodiac sign capable of doing so.
