Your October Tarot Card Reading Says Each Zodiac Sign Is Entering New Territory

Aries: Judgement

It’s time to hold a spiritual mirror in front of yourself and take a look at what lies deep within, Aries. The Judgement card heralds a moment of personal reckoning, forcing you to get real and start aligning your actions with your values. Astrologically, this makes perfect sense—as October brings a powerful solar eclipse that’s opposing the North Node of Destiny in your sign, challenging you to embrace the unknown, as well as an ultra-intense full moon in your sign that’s bringing major identity issues to a crisis point.

Other people can judge you all they want, but at the end of the day, their opinions are irrelevant. If you know what you stand for, that’s all that actually matters. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Taurus: 2 of Wands

The world is truly at your fingertips this month, and you’ve got some exciting decisions and opportunities to ponder. Right now, you’re neck-deep in the planning process of some new endeavor or goal—and as a hardworking and diligent Taurus, you’re fully in your element in this phase. You’re looking over your options, considering the different paths you could take, and anticipating the potential obstacles that could get in your way. There’s no pressure to make a move just yet, so take advantage of this time to map out your first steps and start preparing yourself to venture outside of your comfort zone. Chasing your dreams means taking a risk, but with the 2 of Wands on your side, yours will be more calculated than reckless. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Gemini: The Devil

Trick or treat, Gemini? If The Devil on your shoulder has any say in the matter, you’ll probably be tempted by all of the above! Hedonistic impulses and overly-decadent desires could test your willpower this month, and it’ll be all too easy to give into your weaknesses—whether that means partying too much, replying to your ex’s late-night text, or simply spending way too much time in a mindless TikTok scroll hole. It’s OK to be a little naughty and indulge in some earthly pleasures, but don’t get so lost in the sauce that you let your vices get the better of you. A little bit of restraint can go a long way.

Cancer: Justice

Justice is the card traditionally associated with the sign of Libra, so it’s a very appropriate energy to embrace during Libra season, which spans the first few weeks of October. Take a look at what’s happening in your life right now—including the dynamics you’ve entered into with others and any decisions you need to make for yourself. Are things feeling balanced and equitable? Are you willing to stand up for what’s right, even when it’s difficult? Are the people around you acting in a way that’s fair to you?

It’s time to balance the scales and stop tolerating anything that’s unjust or unfair. Sometimes speaking up for yourself or otherwise doing the right thing is challenging, but trust that this month, it’ll pay off. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Leo: Page of Cups

Let go of your inhibitions and open your heart to life’s limitless possibilities this month, Leo. Because you can set intentions and manifest all you want, but right now, it’s also important to leave room for the universe to surprise you—because it may deliver something unimaginably exciting that you could never have come up with on your own! You may be struck with the inspiration necessary to pursue a new creative project or have a star-crossed meeting with someone who immediately captures your heart. The Page of Cups comes with a message of joyful new beginnings, and anything is possible. Let your feelings and intuition guide you as you seize these special moments. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Virgo: 8 of Pentacles

Practice makes perfect, but I probably don’t have to tell you that twice, Virgo! As a thorough and detail-oriented earth sign, you already know the power of hard work and diligence—but the 8 of Pentacles is here to remind you that if you keep your nose to the grindstone for a little bit longer, your efforts will pay off in a big way. No one becomes an expert in their field overnight, but little by little, you’re refining your skills and mastering something that’ll serve you for a long time to come. Keep on keepin’ on and put one foot in front of the other. Before you know, you’ll be exactly where you want to be. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Libra: The Hierophant

October opens with a powerful solar eclipse in your sign, and it’s the last one that’ll take place here until 2033—so you’re in the process of completing a major personal transformation. And this month, The Hierophant is here with its traditional energy to remind you of the importance of having some sacred structure in your life. With so much chaotic energy in the cosmic ether, now may be a good time to stick to what’s tried-and-true instead of taking the road less traveled. Skirting the status quo has its place, but certain norms exist for a reason, and having an established set of rules for yourself can help bring you some stability to an otherwise unstable astrological period.

Scorpio: 4 of Swords

Scorpio season is coming up on October 22, but throughout the weeks leading up to that, the sun will be in your sleepy and solitary twelfth house—and the 4 of Swords has shown up to encourage you to lean into that introspective energy. There’s rarely a convenient time to take a break from life and step away from your everyday stresses, but if you can manage it, this is an important month for resting, spending time alone, and reflecting on your current circumstances. It’s hard to get a solid perspective on what’s happening in your life when you’re right in the thick of everything, so give yourself an opportunity to meditate and clear your mind before jumping back into the eye of the storm. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Sagittarius: 9 of Wands

There’s been a lot of cosmic intensity to weather over the past couple months, and you may be feeling a bit bruised and battered as a result of your recent struggles. But the 9 of Wands is a reminder that you’re a lot more resilient than you realize. Even after all the hardships, losses, and let-downs, you’re still standing! So while fully letting your guard down may feel impossible, you can still grant yourself a moment to recover and regain your strength.

Giving up isn’t the answer now—and once you catch your breath, you’ll be ready to dust yourself off and try again. The universe has been testing you, but trust that you’ve got the courage necessary to carry on. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Capricorn: 8 of Cups

You may be facing some disappointments right now, Capricorn, as certain things simply may not be panning out the way you’d hoped. Maybe someone left you hanging one too many times, or a longtime goal of yours is feeling like a lost cause. Dealing with life’s let-downs is never fun, but this month, it’s more important to focus on how you’re going to deal with them—and that’s going to require you to check in with your heart.

Have you given things a solid go, or are you running away from the work it would take to see it through? Conversely, have you already put too much effort into something and know it’s time to walk away? Know when it’s time to cut your losses and move on to greener pastures. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Aquarius: 10 of Swords

Sometimes when it’s over, it’s really over, Aquarius—and the 10 of Swords wants you to stop wasting any more of your energy trying to bring something back from the dead. Endings are always difficult, but accepting that some doors have closed is actually a lot easier and less exhausting than continually attempting to break through a brick wall. October’s astrology is supporting you too, as this month opens with the last solar eclipse in Libra that we’ll have for nearly a decade, so some major storylines are coming to a close for many of us. Say goodbye to whatever it is that’s already made its exit from your life and open your heart to the next adventure. Read your full October monthly horoscope.

Pisces: 5 of Swords

Keep your eye on the prize this month, Pisces, and make sure you’re not getting dragged into meaningless dramas that simply distract you from your true objectives. When the 5 of Swords shows up, it’s a reminder that just because you’ve won a battle doesn’t mean you’ll win the war—so now’s not the time to get so caught up in petty BS that you lose sight of the bigger picture. 

This aligns astrologically, too, as the sun will spend the first few weeks of October in your sensitive and vulnerable eighth house before shifting into your ninth house of growth, knowledge, and higher aspirations. Emotional triggers could tempt you to lash out and lose your patience, but taking the high ground might ultimately be more satisfying. Read your full October monthly horoscope.
