Air Signs — Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
The Fool + Knight of Cups rx + The Hermit rx
The hints may have started to appear last month, air signs, but October is further confirmation that you’re about to enter a new era. You have to take the leap. Or maybe you have, and the reality of this new life is settling in — the showing, the commitment, and doing the work even when it’s unglamorous.
The key this month is to not over-romanticize to the point of inaction, or get stuck in an endless loop of mulling over your options. Get grounded and focused. It’s time to tighten up and get your head in the game.
Fire Signs — Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Ten of Wands + Seven of Wands rx + Judgement
October comes with a reckoning, fire signs. A lot of you are screaming some variation of “All my life I had to fight,” because for months your energy has been consumed with surviving. There’s too much on your plate but it’s been like that for quite some time, no?
A chapter has ended — forcefully, maybe — but what lies ahead can be transformative if you let it. But you won’t be able to see the opportunity if you’re focused on what’s been lost.
Water Signs — Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
Four of Wands rx + The Sun + King of Swords
There might be something worth celebrating this month, water signs, but because things have been shaky lately, you’re hesitant to fully embrace the moment. It feels premature to bask in it when everything feels so topsy turvy.
Ask yourself, does the sun need permission to shine? No. And neither do you.
Life is in flux for a lot of us right now. That makes it even more important to acknowledge your wins when they show up. Don’t let your anxiety talk you out of celebrating what you’ve earned.
Earth Signs — Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Strength + Nine of Pentacles rx + Ten of Pentacles
All your work hasn’t been in vain, earth signs. It can seem that way when self-sufficiency in today’s world is exhausting and the life of ease and comfort you’ve been working toward hasn’t materialized yet.
You’ve been doing it alone for a long time — longer than you probably should have — but remember that long-term success doesn’t happen overnight.
It feels futile when you haven’t seen the fruits of your efforts and it seems like your prayers are falling on deaf ears. But don’t mistake the slow build for you moving in the wrong direction.
