ARIES: SIX OF PENTACLES

Kindness comes naturally to you, Aries. You are generous, loving, and giving. The Six of Pentacles asks you to celebrate and amplify this side of your personality. Just be mindful about who you support and what you give to them. Notice your instinct to help, follow it through, and offer help where it's needed. Pay compliments. Give what you can. It's good karma.

TAURUS: TWO OF WANDS

The Two of Wands asks you to refocus. There’s been a lot going on this month, and the demands and tasks have been piling up. Time to streamline. Sit back with an objective eye and review what’s on your action plan. Ditch, delegate, and delay anything that isn’t urgent. Less is more right now. You can do a better job if you trim away the excess and concentrate on the most important tasks.

GEMINI: PAGE OF SWORDS

Make your mind up and commit to a course of action, Gemini. Stop dithering and playing both sides. You are adept and skilled at using duality and ambiguity to your advantage, but you can’t stay on that fence forever! The Page of Swords is a green light to make your final decision and see it through. Seek clarity and say it how it is. People appreciate your directness (when you choose to be direct) because you’re articulate and clever. Set an example.

CANCER: THE HERMIT

The Hermit is a very Cancer-y card (although it actually represents Virgo) because it’s about all striking out away from the crowds and noise and being alone, in solitude, without distraction or interference. And it’s for a good reason. You are looking for insight, enlightenment, and revelation. You want answers. You need to think things through. You have to process what has been happening and catch up emotionally with events. All of us need these decompression breaks, and you’re no different. What you discover this week will light the way forward.

LEO: THE HIGH PRIESTESS

Get mystical, Leo! Get out your tarot and oracle cards, crystals, runes, pendulum, herbs, etc. It’s time to explore the esoteric with the magical High Priestess. Try out a few less-than-mainstream activities this week. See a psychic, read your own tarot cards, meditate, use a sound bowl, listen to a past life regression, scry, whatever sounds interesting! It’s likely that something meaningful and enlightening will unfold for you, something unexpected. Take a walk on the mystical side of life.

VIRGO: TEN OF PENTACLES

The Ten of Pentacles is a happily-ever-after card, signally that a cozy home, a loving family, and a secure bank balance all lie ahead for you. Don’t worry so much about the future, you’ll get there! In fact, maybe this card is a nudge to do what you’d do IF you weren’t so worried about the future. What matters right now? What is important to you in 2023? What dreams would you love to activate this autumn? Get to it! Life is short, so get busy living and trust in your future happiness. Live life fully, NOW.

LIBRA: ACE OF SWORDS

It’s not that you’re untruthful, Libra, but you can gloss over reality a little too well sometimes. It's not that you're lying, it's that people miss the subtleties of what you’re really saying. Tact and diplomacy are your super skills. They come from a place of wanting harmony and peace. It’s hard for you to have tough conversations. But the Ace of Swords reveals it's time to have one this week. Be tactful, but be clear and direct too. Practice assertiveness. Listen closely. Get to the root cause and deal with it at that level. You can resolve this.

SCORPIO: THE FOOL

The Fool is the tarot’s first card, representing new beginnings and fresh starts. When you receive this card, you’re getting an invitation to activate your wildest dream. Don’t worry about the long-term or the whole thing, just focus on taking the first few steps. The path will form as you walk. It doesn't matter if this ambition is something others might disapprove of because they’re not in charge of your life… you are! Do what suits you and enjoy the journey. This is exciting, inspiring, and invigorating. Have fun.

SAGITTARIUS: KING OF PENTACLES

Be worldly, wise, and cautious this week. Take care of your business and yourself. Put your own material needs at the top of the list, because no one else is going to take good care of your health, wealth, and work but you! The King of Pentacles asks you to put all of your knowledge and ideas about your home, career, finances, and health into action. Take positive steps. Establish a rewarding routine. Create a plan that takes you towards success and prosperity. You are ready for this step. Luck will come to you!

CAPRICORN: SIX OF CUPS

Nostalgia is a powerful force in your life, Capricorn, because you value family, tradition, and the past. The Six of Cups reveals that you will feel a pull towards Memory Lane this week, and you should follow it through. Look at your photo albums, call up your mom or your grandpa or your best friend from high school, visit a place you once loved, get out your toys or school projects or old clothes. It can be very stimulating to reconnect with a younger version of yourself: It makes you see your growth and change, as well as your roots and origins.

AQUARIUS: EIGHT OF CUPS

Whatever you’ve been denying or suppressing or making excuses about... just own up to it. There's no point in trying to sugarcoat it, because it’s simply not what you hoped for. The Eight of Cups is a nudge to let things go and accept that there are losses you need to cut. It also promises that much better opportunities will emerge after you let this go. Maybe this was just practice for what lies ahead. Move on so you can move forward.

PISCES: FIVE OF SWORDS

Don’t back down from a tough conversation or argument. Don’t compromise your needs or demands. However, don’t prolong the conflict either. Say what you need to say, but add insults or new grievances. Keep it simple, clear, and forthright. Look for ways through the situation and opportunities for compromise. Seek peace, but not at the expenses of your needs. The Five of Swords says you need to stand up for yourself. You can do this.
