Pisces: The two cards that I got while I was shuffling were the Six of Wands as well as the Four of Pentacles. These two cards are saying that the universe is telling you to plan for the future and that you have enough resources, so use what you’ve got. The fruit that you have rotting in the back of your fridge and everything else that you’ve got in your pantry—you definitely need to use it. Try to be creative. I’m also seeing that some of you guys have clothes that you haven’t worn in forever, but they still fit you; you just have to style them differently. You have to start getting creative and use what you have, even when it comes to your vehicle: cleaning it out, sprucing it up, and putting some nice air fresheners in there. I see here in the Six of Wands that even your living space could be transformed. You could paint one wall, hang things up, put up more pictures, take more Polaroids and display them, and organize your space in a way that feels uniquely yours—all within your budget, within your means, and within what’s possible for you. The universe is saying that there are endless possibilities for you in October, and it doesn’t need to cost a lot. 🏠✨

Aquarius: We’ve got the Ten of Cups card for you, Aquarius. I can see complete fulfillment, happiness, and your relationships going fantastically well. October is the perfect month to start or upgrade your family, your family home, and even add a pet to your family. If you’re single this month, you may be meeting someone who actually wants to build with you, have a family, and create a life together. In the Ten of Cups, I can see that this sense of complete togetherness comes from having the same values, the same morals, and simply not wanting to be in a relationship that has no responsibility. I see next in the Ace of Wands card that you’re understanding that there are different ways to have a relationship than some of the ways in which you haven’t thrived previously. The Ace of Wands shows that you’re growing, becoming more intelligent, and using your wisdom to upgrade your love life and your home life. 🏡❤️

Capricorn: I can see in the Seven of Cups card that I pulled for you guys that you will have this mesmerizing energy all throughout the month of October, Capricorn. You’re extremely attractive, and you’re pulling people into that energy that is feminine, alluring, and shows that there is just something about you that others cannot quite put their finger on. In the Page of Swords card that I pulled, I see that you have realized that your power lies in not always getting overly emotional and sharing every single thought. You will become far more powerful when you are in control of your emotions, and you will be able to take control of other people’s emotions as well. When it comes to you guys, situationships will turn into real relationships this month, my dear Capricorn. And you may also reignite an old spouse’s flame for you this month! 🧲🔥

Sagittarius: In the Eight of Pentacles, I can see that the universe is saying to you to keep working on your craft and don’t give up. You might have thought to yourself, “I’m too old,” “I’m too late,” or “I’m never going to be able to create the abundance that I want with just my creativity and the things that I do right now as a hobby.” But I do see that your hobbies will turn into far more than “just a hobby.” You can already use how creative you are in your career in so many ways that you sometimes don’t even realize or give yourself credit for. I also see in the Eight of Pentacles that you’re a really hard worker. As a Sagittarius, you are someone who doesn’t give up very easily, but the universe is saying to focus on owning and perfecting your skills rather than trying to do everything at once all the time. 🎨🏹

Scorpio: The first card I pulled for you guys was The Hanged Man, and I can see here that the universe is saying to you, from Venus retrograde beginning on October 3rd, to give yourself time and give yourself grace to beautify yourself. Wake up a little earlier to go on a walk, make yourself look amazing, and feel amazing before you leave your house. I can also see that abundance is coming to you, but you’ve got to remain calm and collected. As a Scorpio, you’re very intense, and Scorpio season begins on October 23rd. That’s when your energy will deepen and become more intense, as this is your time of the year. Until then, the universe is saying, “Chill. Don’t use all your intensity in one go, and let things come to you. You don’t chase; you always attract, my dear Scorpio.” I can see here in the Ten of Cups card that I pulled that you’ve got relationships in a place where ultimate fulfillment is yours. I see a happy family for you guys, and I see a happy love life. I see you really thriving in a way that you could have only hoped and dreamed for in the past. I can also see that it’s all coming from you working on yourself, while healing, growing, and becoming a better person. 🦂✨

Libra: The first card that I pulled for you guys is the Eight of Cups, and you are walking away in October. You’re no longer afraid to be alone. You’re an air sign that thinks long and hard, but once you’ve made up your mind and made a decision, you’ll pull through on it. There’s nothing that anyone can say or do to change your mind, and October will be a huge month for making decisions in your life. The Suit of Cups corresponds to the element of water, and I can see that this has to do with something that has emotionally been hard on you. With the Four of Pentacles card, I see that you have thought long and hard about where you want to spend your time, your energy, and your love. 🚪🌊

Virgo: As a Virgo, you’re an earth sign that’s a self-proclaimed perfectionist. The card that I pulled for you guys is The Emperor, and in the month of October, being a perfectionist will be your biggest superpower. The fact that you’re meticulous, you focus on the details, you’re very detail-oriented, and you don’t just let things slide will work in your favor. You always want things to be just right and perfect, and I can see here in the Two of Swords reversed tarot card that while other people are too scared and paralyzed to make decisions, you, on the other hand, are going from a place of procrastinating due to perfectionism to realizing that you should just start. You should just start and do what’s correct. Let me start the business and see how it goes. You guys could even create your first YouTube video, and if it’s not correct, then keep on correcting it. Let me create this product, this service, and keep going with it. I can see in this Eight of Cups card that there’s a proposal that’s coming toward you in a romantic sense, and in the Eight of Cups, someone is afraid of losing you, and they are afraid of losing you for good. 👑✨

Leo: First and foremost, we have the King of Swords and the Ace of Pentacles as the cards that I pulled. For the first tarot card, I’m looking at a dark raven and this sword, and of course, the suit of Swords corresponds to communication. Your words might cut, your words will be effective, and anything that you say goes during the month of October. I see here with the Ace of Pentacles that the universe is saying to you that the best place to use this type of wording, and the best place for you to be straightforward and share your opinion, is at work. The suit of Pentacles corresponds to everything in the earthly realm. Some people might be sensitive to your energy, but that’s not your problem, Leo. You are a fire sign that has a larger-than-life personality, and you can’t help it. Some people are just too weak to be around you. I see in the Five of Cups for you that the month of October is going to remove anybody who isn’t a true friend from your life, as well as anyone in a situationship that was never meant to take things to the next level, and give you clarity. Anyone who’s just sending mixed signals and confusion your way is going to be removed from your life. 🗣️🧹

Cancer: The first card that I got for you guys was the Queen of Wands card, and what I want you to know is that it’s okay to have a strong opinion, to say what you want, and to have boundaries with what you don’t want. I see in the Queen of Wands that holding your wand, which is your scepter and your power, is extremely important for October. I also see an individual who has tattoos on their hands and their wrists. All of these things will show you even more deeply how strong you can truly be. You might even be this individual who’s thinking of getting a little tattoo just above your wrist. With the Queen of Wands card, the universe is telling you to get one, whether it’s a henna tattoo, a real ink tattoo, of course, or a piece of jewelry that resembles that same strength. I see here with the Three of Swords that I pulled that the universe is saying to you, “You’ve got to be the strong person because the world, unfortunately, is not a fair place, so your strength will protect you from heartache.” 🔥🛡️

Gemini: I see in the Ten of Wands card that you’re done working harder and that you want to work smarter, and October is the perfect month for you to start implementing that. Instead of this being a grueling type of change, it’s fun; it’s easy. October brings you hope, happiness, and warmth for the future. You guys are thinking to yourselves, “This can be fun. I can turn on music, do my meal prep, shop more effectively, and have more time for myself.” You may also be thinking, “I can walk while answering emails, so I’m doing something great for my cardiovascular health while getting work done.” I see in the Two of Wands card that I pulled that having someone who can hold you accountable is October’s favorite option for you. This may be a person that you live with, if you live with a partner or spouse, or perhaps a friend, your mother, or your father. You can hold each other accountable and create little goals that you work toward every single day, like reaching 10,000 steps, eating two vegetables per day, or trying one new workout class per week. Perhaps you may also have a budget goal for how much you want to spend on food and household items. I see that glamorizing everything and making everything fun is October’s entire identity in your life. 🎯🎶

Taurus: The first card that I pulled for you guys is the Four of Swords, and this means that rest and relaxation are most important in October. You’ve worked hard all throughout the year, and of course, you’re overthinking your results. You could be thinking, “Maybe I haven’t worked hard enough,” or “Maybe I haven’t come far enough,” or even, “I’m behind.” As a Taurus, you’re an earth sign that’s extremely grounded and practical. However, in October, you are meant to take a lot of naps and have lots of relaxation time. As I see here in the King of Pentacles, the universe is communicating in your language. The suit of Pentacles is associated with the element of Earth, and as a Taurus, you’re an earth sign. With the King of Pentacles, I see that you are meant to have a month where you’re actually more successful than you usually are in all areas of life. You’re also learning that doing more doesn’t always mean a better result. Sometimes, having better energy while you’re working and doing things with a different mindset is what makes the biggest difference and is usually the deciding factor between extreme success and staying in the same hamster wheel. Instead of staying in that hamster wheel and running faster, you’re getting out of it, resting, and allowing yourself to gain fresh energy so you can do better. 🧘♀️💰

Aries: The first card that I pulled for you guys is the Six of Swords, and as an Aries, the month of October is bringing some big changes to your mindset. Instead of worrying, you are just doing. Instead of procrastinating, you are taking action. As I’m getting more deeply into your reading, I see the Page of Pentacles card saying that October is the perfect month for you to try something new in the earthly realm. This will be the perfect month for you to try something new in your career, start a new hobby, travel, get on that flight, go to a new city, buy new clothing and experiment with different styles, and level up your physique. Now, when I say the earthly realm, the tangible realm, I’m talking about everything that has to do with your career, your looks, your time, your hobbies, and your abundance. I see in the Ten of Cups card that I pulled that fulfilling yourself in these areas of life is going to make all of your relationships better. Sometimes we look at relationships and want them to make us happier, but I see that the universe is saying to you in October: the more you focus on yourself, the more you give to yourself, and the more you give yourself the flowers, shopping sprees, and take yourself out for lunch and dinner, the more fulfilled you will feel in life, and you’ll bring that fulfillment back into your home life. 🚀💐
