Now is the time to get productive and reflective!
Although the beginning of this week is astrologically quiet, we have a few notable events towards the end of it. First, on the 21st we will experience the Full Quarter Moon in Capricorn, which will help us think about how we want to get started (concretely, with real plans and ideas) in all our new goals.
To close out the week, Mercury (planet of communication, thinking, and translating information between realms) will enter brooding, powerful Scorpio on the 22nd.
How can you use all this energy? Well, exactly how it will manifest will vary from person to person. That is why we like to consult the Tarot when it comes to more specific personal advice!
Your sign’s weekly tarotscope for October 16 – 22, 2023
Ram
7 of cups
RamThere’s indecision in the air… and it’s all you seem to breathe.
The 7 of Cups brings confusion to your heart and intuition. You’re known for your big ambitions and wild instinct for innovation, but this time you may have too many ideas at once.
This week you’re asked to sit down and actually search through what you want.
Here’s a tip: the key is not to fixate on finding the “right” choice or plan, but to simply make one and stick with it.
Taurus
Wands page (reverse)
Taurusyou’ll find your ambitions and whims a bit scattered this week.
When the page of magic wands is turned, you have a lot of ideas, but you don’t have the resources to execute them properly.
In short, adventure and great desires are in the air, but you may be more prone to jumping to conclusions or making impulsive decisions that hinder your ability to make progress later.
You can’t win this race by running to the finish line. Does a ‘race’ even exist? Slow down, take a deep breath and smell the roses before picking flowers.
Twin
The sun
Bright, positive and enthusiastic – these words often describe Twin…and also the sun.
You’re a ray of sunshine this week, partly because you to believe that it is true about yourself. You’ve been more in touch with your strengths lately, and the alignment between your identity and the universe also seems to shine more clearly.
Of course, you are always bright and somehow connected to the universe, whether the sun is on your side or not.
But this week you are absolutely invited to ride this wave with more confidence and show up bold, courageous and proud in accordance with this infectiously exciting energy.
Cancer
3 of cups
Cancer can experience a nourishing week full of love and harmony if they wish.
The 3 of Cups is a positive omen for Cancers who want to connect more deeply with friends, lovers and partners.
More specifically, this week should be about connecting with the whole of your relationships (instead of just one or two).
Think about how you give love to everyone around you and how that cycle of love is flowing right now. Instead of focusing on just one goal or just one person, The 3 of Cups invites you to focus on community.
Lion
The Hierophant
Lion may be known for their role as a shining star, but this week you’ll be known as a trustworthy teacher.
Or at least the Hierophant asks you to fill that role.
While this means sticking to the rules and following more traditional routines for the time being (which can be a little less exciting for Leos), this is an opportunity to help others while still showing what you know.
Others may rely on you more heavily this week. For Leos in leadership positions, you are invited to step into that role with great confidence (even more than usual).
Virgin
The world
Virgin completes the circle this week.
The world is a powerful, positive omen for Virgos, who have been working on long-term projects and dreams. (We’d certainly be shocked to meet a Virgo without big dreams).
This week the steps to completion, fulfillment, and tying things up with a tight knot are much clearer. Some Virgos may even feel that sense of accomplishment this week, cutting that metaphorical ribbon or closing an old metaphorical door.
What is needed from you? Once you see these steps, make sure you actually use them.
Scale
The hermit
Scale is in a powerful, authentic and deep wisdom this week.
The Hermit is always a beacon of insight and grace, and to some extent Libras are known for that kind of balance (although sometimes yours has more to do with how you say things rather than what is said).
This week, however, you may retreat more into your shell. This wisdom is not about sharing or speaking, but about knowing and feeling. It can be just for you and not for an audience.
Still, you can write down what you feel and intuit; maybe that outlet is more valuable than a crowd of faces.
Scorpion
Ace of Pentacles (reversed)
Scorpion may have difficulty planting the first seeds of success.
Particularly when it comes to career, finances, and skills, the reversed Ace of Pentacles puts roadblocks in your way when it comes to starting something new.
Maybe you have the ideas but not the fuel, or maybe you have the fuel but not the tools. Wherever the roadblock is, remember that you don’t necessarily have to roll over it to make it go away.
With some patience and time, you may find that this reversal of the Ace of Pentacles will naturally turn right side up.
Archer
Knight of Pentacles
Archer has been thinking about a lot of serious, stability-related questions for a while now.
This week, take those contemplations and put them into action. You may not have all the answers yet, but the Knight of Pentacles makes one thing clear: you’re not interested in just sitting around waiting.
This week may not seem exciting at first and will likely include a lot of repetitive, mundane work and responsibilities.
In the grand scheme of things, though, this is one of those weeks that will help build a broader vision of success in the future.
Ibex
5 of Swords
Unfortunately, Ibex just doesn’t vibrate with the energy of this week.
Wherever it manifests (friends, home, career or internally), the 5 of Swords always causes a storm of conflict. While it is more likely that this conflict is social and/or relates to your values and goals, the truth is that we sense that this energy may exist on a broader level for you right now.
This hinders how well you can plan ahead, take productive steps, and see things objectively and clearly.
However, this frustrating energy will pass quickly and it only takes a little patience and compassion to get through it unscathed.
Aquarius
3 of wands
Aquarius, look outside and beyond. The world is your oyster!
The 3 of Wands indicates that you have had some dreams, the intentions of which you have already determined. Maybe you were hoping to manifest something specific, or maybe you just have one feeling that something good will come your way.
Now you wait for the results, and the universe slowly but surely begins to respond to what you put into the world.
This is not the “result” of your actions – it is just the beginning. At this point, gifts or messages should look like this possibilities where you can develop yourself even further.
Fishing
6 of Swords
Fishingit’s never easy to say “hello” to a complete stranger.
However, the 6 of Swords asks you to do just that. This card describes how this week you will step away from everything that does not serve you… and head straight into an unknown void.
That is, you know intuitively that eliminating old habits, people, and stagnant energy is a good thing. But that doesn’t negate the discomfort that may still arise from being unsure of what the next steps should be.
It is still better to take steps forward into the unknown than to remain stagnant in a familiar state where you cannot move forward.
Get the most out of your tarotscope
Tarotscopes are a powerful tool to have in your spiritual arsenal, especially when it comes to planning your week and manifesting the roadmap of your dreams.
But that’s only true if you know how to actually use them. After all, the Tarot is a magical tool for guidance, but it can only go so far as we are willing to use it.
Here are a few ways you can use your Tarotscope more fully:
- Review it at the beginning and end of the week for full reflection
- Write down some insights that you can link to specific events and circumstances in your life
- Please consult your own Tarot deck about what else you missed from your Tarotscope
