Your Weekly Tarot Card Reading, by Zodiac SignMargie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces, plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let’s go!

A GENERAL CARD FOR EVERYONE: THE MAGICIAN

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

I think that most tarot readers love The Magician card, and it’s a welcome sight for us all this week. It means we all get to experience, believe in, and fully realize the power of our own potential. We see ourselves clearly and positively, we appreciate our unique mix of strengths and talents, and we see where it could take us in the future. No one is going to design your life for you.It’s time to put yourself in control. Use what you’ve got, what you’re good at, and love doing. Be a success. All positive steps will be rewarded this week!

ARIES: THE DEVIL

The Devil feels like an appropriate card for Halloween season—which I’m pretty sure you’re already celebrating, Aries, even though we’re a few weeks away. Tread cautiously. Don’t get yourself into a spiral of extremes or outlier behavior or unhealthy habits. The Devil ensnares us because the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and you always have good intentions, even when you know you’re doing wrong. Aries, be good.

TAURUS: SEVEN OF CUPS

Is this all in your head? Are you overthinking it? Have you fallen down a wormhole of suspicion or analysis that is leading you to the worst case scenario (again)? The Seven of Cups asks for a reality check, Taurus. Get the facts. Deal with the truth vs. conjecture. Be objective. Get a second opinion. Verify the key pieces of information. And then do your thinking, not before. You might be making this out to be a bigger deal than it is.

GEMINI: STRENGTH

The Strength card is a recognition that the going has been tough, and you’ve been tough to keep on going. Applaud your fortitude and resilience. Acknowledge your courage and patience. It’s not easy being strong. But know this, Gemini. These hard-won battles have made you better, sharper, wiser, more powerful. Life gets easier from now on, because the real hard groundwork has already been done. It's time to relax.

CANCER: THE TOWER

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Whatever has gone awry, ended, or collapsed this last month was always going to go that way. And now, the worst is over. Know that and hold onto it. The phase you’re entering now is all about rebuilding. You're a the phoenix rising from the ashes, beginning your next chapter and finding your new self. Enjoy it! A weight has been lifted and a negative (even toxic) influence has been removed from your realm so you can start anew on firm foundations. Take out the trash, celebrate this second chance, and start anew.

LEO: KNIGHT OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Leo, you are just like the Knight of Wands—a charismatic, bold, risk-taking, charming adventurer seeking new horizons. Go have fun this week. Be a Leo through and through—partying, socializing, helping, performing, succeeding, challenging, thriving, and surviving! You love to protect the vulnerable, so go do some good deeds. And then be the party Leo and go celebrate with those you love and like. Have a mini Leo season—why not?

VIRGO: EIGHT OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You're ruled by Mercury, which means you have shrewd, sharp communication skills (and a thirst for gossip and information). It’s shaping up to be a great week on that front! The Eight of Wands is all about networking, getting the tea (and spilling it), and being in the right place at the time, talking to the right person. Go mingle… literally anything can happen. It’s all about WHO you know.

LIBRA: THE HERMIT

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

You are one of the zodiac’s social butterflies, Libra, but you need your decompression and alone time just as much as anyone. When you're alone, you can spend time processing events and emotions, analyzing and debunking information, and (dare I say) judging everything. The Hermit gifts you the gift of solitude this week. Take a time out. Get some space. Be alone with your own thoughts and dwell on what is bothering you. Your brain is powerful, and you need time to seek enlightenment and understanding so you will know what to do next week. The Hermit gives it to you.

SCORPIO: KING OF PENTACLES

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

The King of Pentacles is a celebration of your sign’s innate strength, power, and confidence. You are not just a survivor, but a winner. You overcome and rise to the top. You are the zodiac's comeback kid (ruled by Pluto, the planet of rebirth and rejuvenation), so be strong and powerful. Use your forces for good. Give others a helping hand, a listening ear, and a wise word. Share your resources. Give generously wherever you can. Remember that not everyone has your natural strength and fortitude. Feel good this week by being good to others. Set an example.

SAGITTARIUS: PAGE OF CUPS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Start a creative project, role, or class this week and you’ll be surprised at how much joy and wonder it brings into your life. The Page of Cups is wide-eyed and eager to learn, imaginative and ready to express himself, emotional and keen to share his feelings. Wear your heart on your sleeve and express your feelings or ideas in a new, creative manner. Communicating in an unorthodox way will unleash sentiments and insights you don’t yet know you possess. Go on a creative journey of discovery.

CAPRICORN: SEVEN OF WANDS

Margie Rischiotto+Rider-Waite

Seek out a challenge that inspires you to do well. Find the fuel to ignite your ambition. Light the match under your passion. You are extremely competitive and won't let anyone come out ahead of you. Cap, find a battle that is worth winning and go all in. This is how you will get the best out of yourself right now. You can achieve something you (at this moment in time) don’t think is possible. It IS possible, but you need to get in the game and then play to win. The Seven of Wands is a spoiler… you WILL win. Go play.

AQUARIUS: SEVEN OF PENTACLES

As the year nears its close, you are reviewing a few situations. The Seven of Pentacles is a hint that not everything you have with you now will make it through to 2024, and that’s okay. Autumn is the perfect time to shed get rid of unnecessary baggage. Whatever is no longer working for you, resolve to release it. You can do better. You need space to grow, and you can get that space by withdrawing from commitments or demands that you’ve outgrown or no longer believe in. Be honest. Act on this.

PISCES: QUEEN OF CUPS

The Queen of Cups is a perfect card for you, Pisces, as it represents love, compassion, intimacy, self-care, romance, and connection. Revel in all of those things this week and make it a time all about your family, friends, lovers, and, of course, yourself. Do what pleases you. Treat yourself like a precious person you have taken responsibility for. Prioritize healthy habits, deep rest, and healing activities. Prioritize enjoying this wonderful life and savoring every minute of every day. Find the silver linings. Look for magic. Be alive and well!
