Zodiac Week Ahead Readings: October 29 to November 4, 2023

Please note, since this week is Samhain (Halloween), I have chosen some Halloween themed and "darker" decks. Although some of the decks are "fun" the readings are still valid...enjoy, and Happy Halloween.

This week’s Zodiac readings contained more Swords or their non-Tarot equivalents than other suits. The 9 of Swords, 3 of Swords, 4 of Pentacles, 8 of Pentacles, 9 of Cups, and 9 of Wands or their non-Tarot counterparts appeared more than once. Of the Major Arcana, the Sun turned up more than once. Overall, confidence and optimism, processing emotions and anxiety, and persistance and action were common themes.

Order and protocol will be important this week. Advice is from the 4 of Coins. Don’t be too free with your resources this week. Keep something for later. Possibilities are shown by the Knight of Blades. You may have the opportunity to charge into a new endeavor. Reflect on the other cards before you take action. Would you be following the proper steps? Would you be throwing out money or time that you need for other things?

Taurus

Taking care of your needs and reconciling yourself with the past is important this week. Advice is to look into the unknown. Research or find new experiences (the Crow Moon—Explore). Possibilities are that you will need to prepare for what is around the corner. You probably know something that is coming up, but you aren’t ready for it. Stop procrastinating (the Buck Moon—Prepare).

Gemini
