Finding your birth tarot card is simple. It is guaranteed to be in the Major Arcana: the twenty-two cards in the tarot deck that are named.

You’ll first use numerology to calculate your birth number. First, add up all of the numbers in your birthday together. If you were born on December 7th, 1999, you would calculate: 12 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 9, which equals 47.

But you’ll need to continue a little further to get your actual numerology ‘life path’ number. You should also add 4 + 7 to get 11. This is because, in numerology, birth numbers are supposed to be single digit – except when you receive the numbers 11, 22, or 33.

For calculating your birth tarot card, however, you can simply reduce your birthday until you reach a number within the Major Arcana. The Major Arcana has 22 cards, all of which are numbered (sometimes excluding the Fool).

Continuing with the above example, if you were to receive 11 as your reduced number, your birth tarot card would be Justice.

If you continue following numerology in this manner, you can find even more guidance within the tarot deck. Some prefer to pull directly from the date of their birth if it is already single-digit. Some choose to add only the two digits of their birth date together, while others will add the month as well. Depending on the results you get from the numbers that are important to you, there could be several tarot cards that speak to you and your personality.

Once you have uncovered your birth tarot card, look out for it. It may be a card that frequently appears to you, or it may have special meaning when you do pull it in your readings.

It can be useful to recognize your birth tarot card – when it appears, it is likely that the deck is trying to give you a meaningful message. Knowing that a tarot card is your birth card could change your interpretation of the deck’s guidance slightly.

1. In the Morning

Many tarot readers agree that the morning is the best time to read tarot. Generally, if you’re planning on reading in the morning, you should read the cards right after you wake up or early on in your morning routine. This is because the idea behind reading the tarot cards in the morning is that you can apply them to the rest of your day, so you’ll want to read them as early as possible.

Reading in the morning can be beneficial because your energy is completely fresh. When you read tarot cards as one of the first things you do during the day, you have unlimited energy resources to use on your cards. You also don’t tend to have any negative emotions that could be affecting the cards you pull or your interpretation of them.

If you tend to notice that you’re a morning person, wake up feeling fresh and reenergized, enjoy having a steady morning routine, or want to rely on tarot cards to help you address problems you face throughout the day, then pulling tarot cards in the morning might be the best time for you.

2. At Night

In the exact opposite of the morning tarot camp is the nighttime tarot readers. Many tarot readers enjoy pulling tarot cards as the very last thing they do during the day rather than the first. This is for a few reasons. First, nighttime tarot readers typically prefer to reflect on the events of the day and allow the tarot cards to help them process any issues they encountered earlier. They also use the cards to guide them through the decisions they’ll make the following day. Plus, the energy they carry with them from the events of the day can affect the cards they pull, which will help them address the most pertinent issues of the day with the cards.

Another reason some people prefer to pull as the last thing they do during the day is so that they can consider the tarot cards while they sleep. Tarot cards are highly connected to energy levels, intuition, and the subconscious. Many readers like to pull at night so that they can ponder the cards while they sleep. They might try to analyze their dreams after a tarot reading or see if they wake up the next morning with any new thoughts. They may also simply allow their subconscious to analyze their tarot readings as they sleep, waking up having processed their emotions and the events of the day with the help of the cards.

3. At A Time Significant To You

If you have a time that is meaningful to you, an angel number you like to receive, or even a time of day where something meaningful happens, then this could be a good time to read tarot cards. For one, your energy levels will be more significant, and often more positive, if you focus on reading during a special time. This might even help to make your readings more unique.

Especially if you follow superstitions or if you have other spiritual beliefs, you may choose to tie these in to your tarot card readings. There’s nothing wrong with starting a reading at the time that represents your angel number or trying to perform a reading during your favorite time of day. These events can positively affect your energy levels and make you feel more prepared to interpret your reading.

4. During Power Astrology Transits

If you feel especially connected to astronomy or astrology, then you may choose to base your readings around the stars and planetary movements. Maybe you want to perform a reading as soon as the moon or sun rises or sets. Perhaps you choose to connect your reading to your zodiac sign – such as by reading under the light of the moon if you are a Cancer. You might perform your tarot reading around the same time as a significant astrological or astronomical event. Maybe you want to perform an extra powerful reading at the time of the full moon or during a lunar eclipse. All of these events can make you and your tarot readings more powerful.

Here on collective.world you can find some of the best and most passionate tarot writers, but without the dedicated attention that can happen in a personal reading, it can be hard to get the most out of readings. Remember that tarot reveals what we need to know about ourselves, not what we want to know about the future. The most accurate readings from a divination perspective happen when everything flows out from the revelatory aspects. The more you’re able to build a relationship with the cards over time, the more you’ll get from online readings.

Here are some tips!

1: Get to know which cards strike a chord with you.

There are a lot of traditionally scary cards in the tarot deck – immediately springing to mind are cards like the Nine of Swords or the Tower. But there are others that can be more personalized in their impact. As far as scary cards go, I find the Five of Pentacles to be particularly harrowing for a variety of reasons. Some, due to trauma from their upbringing, may find a lot of discomfort with the Hierophant. The Empress and the Emperor ask a lot of us if we carry parental-based traumas.

Some people have a giddy feeling at the Six of Cups – the idea of nostalgia or returning to their childhood is idyllic and happy, while others may see it as a return to misery or being disregarded. Many may find the hopefulness of The Star invigorating and inspiring, while others who are experiencing a Dark Night of the Soul or other psychologically trying times may not find it as comfortable. Knowing how you react to certain cards and what they mean to you helps to enhance online tarot readings. Remember – it’s not just what the tarot reader is telling you, but also what you are bringing to the table!

2: Spend time with the tarot’s symbols.

This is a bit more advanced, as it asks you to seek out tarot imagery on your own time. Wikipedia has the Smith-Waite-Rider deck imagery online, but there are other decks whose imagery are available as well! Spend a few minutes looking over the cards, and see which cards bring reactions. Do some make you feel angry? Scared? Warm? Welcome? Peaceful? Note which ones they are, and be sure to notice if they come up during a reading!

3: Take special note of tarot’s numerology.

Tarot cards, except for the Courts, are associated with numbers. The Major Arcana, in particular, uses numbers to help represent aspects of The Fool’s Journey into The World. Take note of any card that corresponds to your birthdate’s numerology / your life path number. When that card occurs in readings, take it as a sign that something is specifically being communicated to you. Each year, take note of what the numerology is for your year, and see how it stacks against your online readings!

4: Use the Zodiac as a Guide.

Many readings, including tarotscopes, use the intersection of zodiac and tarot. But tarotscopes aren’t just for your Sun Sign! In a lot of cases, my Rising Sign has more of an impact / correlation with online guides – you may find that it could be your Moon Sign or another planet that makes the largest difference in your chart. Instead of going right to your sun sign – check out one of the Big Three or others!

The Tarot has other natural correspondences to the Zodiac as well. In addition many of the Major Arcana cards having a one-to-one relationship with zodiac signs, the numbered cards of the minor arcana correspond to the decans in zodiac. Once you’ve identified the cards that are related to your natal chart, it will change your experience of online tarot readings for the better!

5: “If you see it, it is for you.”

There are times when people will put together a reading that is general, along with some helpful search terms – hoping that people in need will find it. It could be a tarot reading that was published to YouTube ten years ago, or one published on Collective.World yesterday – but if a tarot reading crosses your path and attracts you, it’s trying to tell you something.

The post 5 Top Tips To Get The Most Out Of Online Tarot Readings appeared first on ZodiacHelps.

The Major Arcana are a set of 22 cards in a tarot deck (the full deck typically has 78 cards) that represent life lessons and spiritual growth. They are considered the most powerful and influential cards in any reading. The Major Arcana cards tell the story of the soul’s spiritual journey from innocence to fulfillment. While the rest of the deck (the Minor Arcana) relate to day-to-day events, the Major Arcana reveals significant life changes and lessons. Each card teaches a specific lesson, and 12 of the 22 Major Arcana cards correlate with a particular zodiac sign. So, what is your zodiac’s Major Arcana tarot card, and what does it reveal about you? Let’s unlock the secrets of astrology and tarot to discover your true personality.

Aries: The Emperor

The Emperor is the Major Arcana tarot card connected to your zodiac, Aries, and it represents power, leadership, and control. This reveals that you have a dominant personality and radiate masculine energy. You hate being told what to do, but have no problem with instructing others. You’re fiercely independent and struggle with taking direction – you are best suited to a career where you can work autonomously or be in charge of others.

Taurus: The Hierophant

The Hierophant is your Major Arcana card, Taurus, and it symbolizes tradition and marriage. This makes perfect sense for you, as the zodiac sign guided by Venus, the planet of love. You value relationships and marriage, and you put your loved ones before anything else. You’re also conventional and enjoy upholding traditions, like celebrating holidays to make memories with your family and friends. You are set in your ways and dislike change, but you’re also very steady and reliable.

Gemini: The Lovers

The Lovers card correlates with your zodiac, Gemini, and it stands for decisions and deep connection. This card doesn’t necessarily have a romantic connotation; instead, the two figures represent your duality. It reveals your multifaceted personality as if you are two people in one soul. You have a strong desire and ability to form solid relationships – you’re gifted at making lasting connections and bringing people together. You may struggle with decision-making, but with a little help from your loved ones, you make the right choices.

Cancer: The Chariot

The Chariot is your card, Cancer, and it stands for overcoming obstacles through willpower and determination. You may seem gentle and sweet, but you’re actually tough as nails. Like the crab that represents your zodiac sign, you have a tough shell that gets you through hard times and protects your inner softness. You hold so much within you that you don’t share with the public, and only those who know you very well get to see all sides of your personality. You are surprisingly resilient and, even though you’re sensitive and may get knocked down frequently, you always get back up again.

Leo: Strength

Your Major Arcana tarot card is Strength, Leo. It stands for strength (obviously), courage, and overcoming challenges with gentle determination. This card even features a lion, your zodiac symbol. Like the lion, you are meant to lead others. At your best, you are a gentle giant, leading with kindness and firmness. You can also overcome any obstacle with your optimism and resilience. You not only appear powerful and intimidating, but you are also just as strong on the inside. You stand up for the underdog and for your beliefs.

Virgo: The Hermit

Your card is The Hermit, Virgo, and no, it doesn’t mean you isolate yourself from others. It represents introspection and reflection, and reveals that you do your best thinking and decision-making on your own. You hold so much wisdom inside you, but you don’t always trust your instincts. Listen to your powerful intuition, because you already have the answers you seek.

Libra: Justice

As the zodiac symbolized by the scales, it makes sense that Justice is your tarot card, Libra. It represents balance and fairness. You strive for balance in every aspect of life: you work as hard as you play, and you try to avoid extremes. You’re a peacemaker who can see every side of an argument. While you may struggle to stand up for yourself, you have no problem sticking up for the underdog or your loved ones.

Scorpio: Death

Death is your Major Arcana card, Scorpio, but it’s not as scary as it sounds (not that you scare easily). It represents change, rebirth, and transformation. This makes sense for you since Pluto, the planet of transformation and rebirth, is your guiding celestial body. As a fixed zodiac sign you dislike change, but you are destined to go through many major transitions in your life. You often need to burn it all down and start fresh when you want a new beginning. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you emerge from any hard times stronger than ever. No one can keep you down – you are adaptive, resilient, and deeply powerful.

Sagittarius: Temperance

Temperance is your tarot card, Sagittarius, and it holds important life lessons for you. The Temperance card represents peace and moderation, two things you struggle with as a feisty fire sign. You tend to go to extremes, and you have a hot temper that flares easily. Temperance asks you to be more patient, balanced, and moderate. You have undeniable passion, strength, and star power, and once you balance these qualities with temperance, you will be unstoppable.

Capricorn: The Devil

The Devil is your Major Arcana tarot card, Capricorn, and it symbolizes being seduced by material pleasures. It also stands for living in fear, suggesting that you are your own worst enemy. No one can deny that you’re a hard worker – but are you doing it for the right reasons? Does your work fulfill you and give you a sense of purpose, or is it a distraction from your thoughts and a way to surround yourself with the luxury items you crave? Instead of always coming from a place of anxiety and scarcity, try shifting to an abundance mindset. What would your dream job be if the salary was no object? What would you do if fear wasn’t holding you back? These are the questions The Devil card encourages you to ask yourself.

Aquarius: The Star

Your tarot card is the Star, Aquarius, which reflects what a shining star you are to your community. The Star represents inspiration and hope for the future. As the zodiac sign of the humanitarian, your destiny is to help others. You feel your best when working toward your goals, and your greatest ambition is to improve society. You should pursue a service career that allows you to see the positive impact you have on people. You are a light in this world, so don’t be afraid to be yourself and let it shine bright!

Pisces: The Moon

The Moon is your Major Arcana card, Pisces, and it stands for mystery and deception. This makes sense, since your zodiac is guided by Neptune, the planet of illusion, delusion, imagination, and creativity. You are often misunderstood, although you have a deeply spiritual and empathic understanding of others. You’re also quite persuasive and can convince others of anything, although you try not to use this power for nefarious purposes. You are easily swayed and buy into the illusions others present to you. You must focus on staying grounded in reality so that you do not get tricked by other people – or even deceive yourself.

The post The Most Powerful Truth About Who You Are (According To A Tarot Reader + Astrologist) appeared first on ZodiacHelps.

Your card: Page of Swords

Something will catch your attention this week, whether it’s a new person to crush over or a skill that you suddenly want to acquire. Either way, listen to your curiosity and follow the desire to know more. This week is perfect for trying new things.

Taurus

Your card: Ace of Wands

You’re feeling particularly inspired this week. While you sometimes fall victim to procrastination or apathy, that’s going to take a backseat to your willpower and creativity. Time to start–or finish–that project you’ve been thinking about for so long.

Gemini

Your card: Justice

This week is all about consequences for you. Something you’ve been doing lately will finally get a conclusion, whether a raise for good work or getting pulled over for all that speeding you’ve been doing. Good or bad, you’ll get the justice you need.

Cancer

Your card: Queen of Wands

Something’s going to happen this week that will take a bit of courage on your part. Whether it’s asking for help or talking to someone that intimidates you, it’ll require going out of your comfort zone. In the end, this is the only way to move forward.

Leo

Your card: Queen of Swords

You’ll be getting advice from all angles this week, whether you want it or not. Just know that not all advice is sound. Use your intuition to decide whether you should follow the advice or whether it should be ignored at all costs. Not everyone has the best of intentions.

Virgo

Your card: The Devil

It’s going to be especially difficult to avoid temptation this week. You know deep down that you shouldn’t eat all that leftover Halloween candy or call that ex for a hookup–or any of the worse things that you’d prefer to keep private. It’s going to take work.

Libra

Your card: 6 of Cups

You’re not normally so stuck in the past, so why is it such a struggle this week? Perhaps you aren’t as happy with your present if you keep looking back at what you used to have. Changes to your life right now can help you stop looking behind you.

Scorpio

Your card: 8 of Wands

This week is all about change. Whether you know it right now or not, something big is shifting in your life. It takes quick decisions and acceptance to weather big change when you weren’t expecting it. Remember: You’re stronger than you think.

Sagittarius

Your card: Ace of Pentacles

You’ll be given an opportunity this week. It could be a new project or promotion at work, or an offer for a date with someone unexpected. Go on with a good attitude and you should be able to manifest all the right things. You’ve got that power.

Capricorn

Your card: Knight of Cups

You normally let your level-headedness take the driver’s seat, but this week you’d be better off listening to your heart. Let that rose-colored romantic-hearted side of you make decisions. It’ll lead you to some fun and surprising places.

Aquarius

Your card: The Hermit

You sometimes feel a pull to do things by yourself or spend the day on your own. I’m not going to tell you to step out of that comfort zone this week. Instead, live your homebody, loner lifestyle to your heart’s content. You can always see people next week.

Pisces

Your card: The Lovers

You’re making real, meaningful connections with someone this week. The Lovers usually refers to romantic love, but it could be with a close friend or family member too. When given a choice this week, choose to cultivate that close relationship–it’s open to serious growth.

The post A Tarot Reader Predicts What Every Zodiac Should Expect Before November 7 appeared first on ZodiacHelps.

To help Taurus, Leo, and Cancer figure out what their options ultimately mean, our tarot reader has done a reading to help them understand the forces at work as you choose between two options. Before your reading, think of how you will assign ‘Option 1’ and ‘Option 2’ to the choice you’re facing.

The six cards represent three facets of the two options. For each option, our tarot reader has drawn a card to represent what is working for you, what is working against you, and a general outlook. Remember that the future that is glimpsed in the tarot is a changeable one – if you don’t like what you see, you are the ultimate master of your destiny and can change it.

Taurus

Option 1:

Working For You: Ace of Swords. You’re overflowing with new ideas, and enjoy the process of brainstorming how you can apply them to make the situation work for you. You’ll concoct some new strategies and be open to novel methods.

Working Against You: Queen of Cups. But you’re also very emotionally invested, and it’s compromising your ability to see the full truth of the thing. Be compassionate with yourself, but apply your emotional intelligence to try and determine your blind spots.

Outlook: The Nine of Cups. The entire outlook for your first option is overall quite positive! The Nine of Cups is known as the ‘wish’ card and is all about wishes come true. It indicates an overall sense of satisfaction and contentment, yet the figure in the card is alone – and not sharing those feelings or that bounty with others.

Option 2:

Working For You: King of Wands. Over the years you’ve gathered a lot of wisdom and tenacity that has helped you to work through challenges and embrace the opportunities that failure can provide. It’s made you even-keeled and wise about what it realistically takes to create something extraordinary.

Working Against You: Ace of Wands. There are a lot of new appealing ideas and energies out there, and it’s hard to focus on just one. You’re overflowing with obsession for the new to the point that your yearning for novelty is splitting your attention.

Outlook:The Empress. Overall, the outlook of this option is also positive! Associated with fertility in general and pregnancy and spring in particular, The Empress represents fertility in all of its different forms and expressions. You’re also able to create an abundance and fertility of things around you (just as in Option One), but this experience could have more significance and long-term impact than the Nine of Cups.

Leo

Option 1:

Working For You: Two of Cups. In your favor is a particularly amazing relationship, the meeting of intellectual and spiritual equals. It’s the type of relationship where you both help light the way towards your better selves. One of the many gifts we can get in this life are relationships that have such a valuable impact on our lives we define it in terms of “Before” and “After” their appearance.

Working Against You: Queen of Cups. If you have a tendency to deny your emotions or play them close to your chest, it’s not working in your favor, and may increase the likelihood that your actions are misinterpreted. Own how you feel, and communicate it clearly.

Outlook: The Sun.  Overall this is a very, very positive reading as The Sun is a universal, resounding ‘yes!’ It’s a moment where all truths are brought into the light, a time of celebration and joy.

Option 2:

Working For You: Knight of Swords. The Knight of Swords is the typical knight in shining armor, representing your willingness to fight for what you think is the right thing to do. In control of their fear of the unknown to come, the appearance of this card indicates that your willingness to take definitive action and stand up for what you believe are significant.

Working Against You: Queen of Swords. You can become so sharp that your vision narrows, obscuring your view. Your vision warps, emotional blind spots can form, and your ability to understand all the ‘moving pieces’ becomes compromised. To soften the impact of this, remind yourself that you only know your side of the situation. Act accordingly.

Outlook: Four of Swords, Reversed. The overall outlook on this option is uncertain. The Four of Swords Reversed indicates that you are in need of rest but are resistant. Needing rest is not a weakness.

Cancer

Option 1:

Working For You: Two of Pentacles. You’re a professional at multi-tasking and it’s a good thing – you have far too many things to get done and far too few hours in which to do them. There’s a lot of opportunity that you can capitalize on, but it’s going to require that you keep up that hustle. Your adaptability is a great asset.

Working Against You: Seven of Swords. There’s deception around you. It could be due to someone who is deceiving you or the people around you, or it could be due to the fact you’re deceiving yourself. If you want to neutralize this, keep your wits about you and see if you can follow the trails to the truth.

Outlook: Knight of Cups. The Knight of Cups is an indication from the universe that the answer is ‘Yes.’ It also means that this option leads towards an idealistic dreamer whose compassion guides their actions. Regardless of if that’s you or someone near you, the Knight of Cups is bound to be a good thing.

Option 2:

Working For You: The Moon, Reversed. Instead of facing the unknown with fear, you’re able to do so with confidence. The wisdom you’ve gathered has helped cultivate a calm mindset. That mindset and your ability to return to it regardless of the challenges you’re facing is a huge advantage. Pay close attention to your intuition and the messages it sends.

Working Against You: Ten of Pentacles. The Ten of Pentacles is a strange card to have working against you, because it’s normally a card of wealth and legacy. In this case, these are working against you. Do you carry a name that comes with a reputation that might work against you? Are you challenged by ideas of wealth?

Outlook: Two of Wands, Reversed. This indicates a ‘soft yes’ or a ‘Yes, but.’ While the outcome of this option is good, there may be complication and delays that you have to deal with in order to realize its full potential.

The post 3 Zodiac Signs With Big Decisions Ahead (+ Tarot Advice For Making The Right One) appeared first on ZodiacHelps.

Cancer

Situation: 2 of Pentacles

As you face the big changes coming, you’ve also got a lot of other items that you’re juggling. It’s hustle time, and there are already a lot of moving pieces. Keep your eyes on what you’re doing. Your adaptability is going to be a huge asset to you as you work through being able to make the most of this intense time.

Challenges: 6 of Wands, Reversed

You aren’t feeling seen right now, Cancer, and it’s making it hard for you to continue the juggling act. Maybe there was a milestone that was missed by those near you, or maybe you’re underappreciated in general, but you definitely don’t feel like all the work you’re putting in is being recognized. Know that you and your work deserve to be seen.

Opportunities: 9 of Wands

You’ve got a lot of changes you’re working through in addition to an already full plate, but you also have the skills to get it all done. You’re so close! Now’s the time to dig deep and see what kind of perseverance you have. It’s going to take a lot of willpower. Be vigilant about not allowing yourself to descend into negative self talk during the final push forward!

Putting it All Together: 

You’re juggling a lot of things right now, including all the big changes on your horizon.  You’re able to keep everything moving, but you’re really not feeling like the work you’re doing is being acknowledged. You and your efforts are worthy of acknowledgement – seek it from those who matter (don’t allow humility to get in the way of needed support!) You’re in the home stretch and you won’t have to be keeping up this frenetic pace much longer.

Virgo

Situation: 4 of Cups Reversed

Introspection has led you to facing your feelings of dissatisfaction, rejection, and discontent.  You’re emotionally weary and overwhelmed, which is ultimately leading you to withdraw so you can work through it all quietly. The emotional upheaval you’re undergoing is taking a lot of your energy and attention away from things you normally cherish.

Challenges: Page of Cups Reversed

As you process your feelings of emotional overwhelm and mental underwhelm, you might feel emotionally unequipped to handle all of the changes you’re going through. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed, and it’s also ok if you don’t want to talk about it. Know that you aren’t alone. Remember to be kind to yourself through the process.

Opportunities: Page of Wands Reversed

There are so many new possibilities that can spark your enthusiasm. Make sure that you aren’t so emotionally overwhelmed and overtaxed so you can see all of the ideas around you.  It’s an exciting time that’s full of potential.

Putting it All Together: 

Two Cups and Two Pages – how dreamy, optimistic, and energetic! You’re having a weird time of things Virgo, and are being challenged on a lot of fronts. Not only are you confronting a lot of emotional upheaval and change from your current situation, but you’re also feeling challenged by working through some of what you’re facing. Just processing everything can be overwhelming, much less trying to take care of anything new.  Don’t beat yourself up – you have a lot going on. It’s important that you work through the emotional complexities you’re facing because once you’re feeling fresh, you’ll be able to see how you’re actually surrounded by opportunities for creativity and other expansive efforts.

Scorpio

Situation: The Chariot

Things feel like they have been moving at an extremely fast pace for a while. With so much movement, of course there’s a lot of change! Your momentum and progress have been due to your confident application of your willpower.  There have been times where you have felt that you’re wrangling opposing energies, but you’ve kept things moving towards your goal!

Challenges: King of Wands

You’ve had a lot of great ideas come to you as you’ve tried to stay focused – and keep everyone else focused. You aren’t just doing this for you – there are others who are watching, who you’re inspiring. It can be a lot of pressure to know when your leadership is in the center of other people’s attention, but it’s important to be aware.

Opportunities: Justice

You are faced with a rare opportunity – the opportunity to make things right. Through your effort and motivation, you have the ability to create more equity and fairness.

Putting it All Together 

There are two major arcana cards here, which means the change and movement around you is especially intense, Scorpio and the situation and its opportunities far outweigh any challenges you are facing. You’ve been trying to keep a bunch of things steered in the right direction, and in doing so you’ve made a lot of forward progress.  You know that you have to stay focused on the task at hand, but you’re also aware of the importance of your leadership to others you’re in the situation with. It’s a lot to take on, but as long as you keep the reason you’re doing all of this the center of your focus, you have the chance to do some long-lasting good in the world!

Pisces

Situation: 2 of Pentacles Reversed

Before you even knew such big changes were on the horizon, you were already juggling a lot of responsibilities. You know how important it is to stay adaptable, and to keep your eyes on everything. You’ve been multitasking quite a bit so don’t forget to check in with yourself every once in a while to make sure you’re not burning out.

Challenges: 3 of Swords Reversed

You’ve had a lot of your mental energy taken from you in the form of mental anguish and heartbreak.  You’ve been dealing with a painful separation, and while you have been recovering from it you’re still tender and dealing with some trauma that still feels fresh. Give yourself space to grieve.

Opportunities: 9 of Swords

It’s a hard time for you right now, there’s no doubt about it. Not only do you have a lot on your plate but you also are emotionally reeling to the point where you’re finding it hard to sleep at night. The Nine of Swords offers no fast answer – instead it outlines that this is a time to discover your courage and face your fears. I know, it’s going to be painful – any time we rid ourselves of delusions is.

Putting it All Together

It’s not just that you have a lot going on – but it’s the mental anguish that you’re dealing with as well, Pisces. The pain and heartbreak you feel makes it hard to focus on anything else but – so allow yourself the space you need to heal. Give yourself the same grace you’d give to others who are recovering.  While you’re going to be facing a lot of sleepless nights sorting through your feelings and thoughts, you’re also going to be given an opportunity to express courage. It will be tough, but you will emerge stronger from the experience.

Dates and Timeline

• Pluto is as slow as a snail with a 248-year orbit. Its transits are transformative and life-changing for the collective.
• Pluto was in Aquarius from March 23, 2024, to June 11, 2024.
• It re-entered Aquarius on January 20, 2025, and will remain there until September 1.
• Pluto will briefly retrograde back into Capricorn until November 18, 2025, but will re-enter Aquarius on November 19, 2025.
• Pluto will remain in Aquarius from 2025 until 2043, making it about a two-decade-long transit.

Predictions

Pluto will be in Aquarius for about the next two decades, leaving an everlasting impression on humanity. When Pluto enters a new sign, we can expect death and rebirth themes on a societal scale. With the planet of transformation entering the humanitarian sign of Aquarius, many social themes stand out.

Social Reform

With Aquarius representing humanity at large, we can expect great demands on reforming our collective approach to empower the general population. Many astrologers predict that we, the people, will make historic strides to reclaim agency. While Pluto in Capricorn gave governmental, large corporations, and other large power structures the hot seat, now is the time for the everyday people that make up this world.

The social outcast, or eccentric outliers, are often represented by Aquarius. The populations of society that have been forgotten or misrepresented will take up more cultural space, popularity, and power. While talking politics was considered unprofessional or taboo during the Capricorn Pluto era, we are now entering a period where discussing humanitarian approaches become less controversial and more common sense.

Technological Growth

Technology and innovative human creations are associated with the Aquarian archetype. As Pluto enters Aquarius, technology as we know it will make intense leaps and bounds. The approach to tech is likely to create an ever-widening gap socially.

Many physical, tangible resources we relied on during the Capricorn Pluto era are lost. Instead, we turn to nonphysical, abstract, or intellectual assets. For example, physical cash becomes increasingly irrelevant as we trade in for credit, cryptocurrency, etc. Familiar examples such as this continue to become more abstract and developed, such as AI. However, we can expect increasing new affairs to introduce themselves into our mainstream life. Those who understand or work within these frameworks will gain social power.

World’s Beyond Earth

Any versed astrology fan has heard the silly jokes about Aquarians being out of this other world and from another planet. Even in advanced astrological practices, Aquarius correlates with the extraterrestrial. Many seasoned experts expect space technology will take leaps and bounds over the next twenty years. There has already been a lot of talk about the government getting involved with the discovery or searching for other life beyond Earth. We can expect more conversations and answers in the mainstream to arise, making it a destigmatized matter.

Spirituality

Aquarius is representative of the blending of cultures, ideas, and beliefs. Strict belief systems are less gravitating as people opt for fluid, individualistic approaches to faith. It’s not news that Astrology, Tarot, and spiritual practices are gaining popularity as they allow people to take what resonates with them and discard the rest. However, we can expect this to only increase during the next two decades as people look for new solutions that apply to modern dilemmas.

Origins of Halloween

Halloween has an over 2,000-year-old origin. The holiday was derived from the ancient Celtic pagan spiritual tradition of Samhain. The festival was widely observed through the Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland, and northern France. The Celts celebrated their new year on November 1 and believed that on the night before the veil between the living and dead was at its thinnest and that the souls of the dead returned to Earth. It was custom to give offerings to the spirits and fairies from the other realm to appease them. The belief was that without these offerings fairies, spirits, and other supernatural forces would descend to cause mischief or harm. It was also thought they would come to punish people for their bad deeds. Samhain was a time to take stock of food supplies and begin preparing meat for winter. The Celts believed that giving these offerings ensured that their people and livestock would survive through the long winter.

During Samhain it was also tradition for Druids (sacred Celtic priests) to light sacred communal bonfires. In these bonfires, sacrifices, such as cattle, were offered to deities. These bonfires also served as cleansing and protection rituals. Afterwards, people would go back home and re-light their hearths using flames taken from the bonfire.

Wearing a costume on Halloween is also a tradition that originated from Samhain. The Celts wore costumes to trick and blend in with the evil fairies and entities that crossed over when the veil was thin. It was a way to protect themselves. They would dress up as spirits, fairies, as well as wear masks, animal heads, and skins. While dressed up they would go door to door asking for good fortune. People also left out food, drinks, and goods for spirits on their doorstep. Trick-or-treat much? Even the Jack-o-Lantern stems from Samhain, except the Celts didn’t use pumpkins. They hollowed out turnips into faces, made them lanterns, and left them on their windowsill to ward off evil spirits.

Later, like most pagan traditions, Samhain was “Christianized” into a more “acceptable” event. Beginning with Pope Boniface IV in the 7th century, in an attempt to kill pagan celebrations, he declared November 1 as All Martyrs Day. Later, 8th-century Pope Gregory III expanded it to include saints, and thus All Hallows Day was born. The night before became known as Hallow’s Eve.

3. Continue focusing your intention on the mirror. Be extremely clear.

4. Either set the mirror in front of you or lay it on the ground. Light a black candle and put it in front of you so that it’s between you and the mirror. Turn off every light in the room.

5. The reflection of your mouth should be fairly centered on the mirror. Focus on the mirror and hold your gaze into the mirror.

6. Tell the mirror that you do not accept any evil forces in your life or any negative energy that has been sent your way. Look firmly into your eyes and as you do imagine the negativity and evil forces moving further and further away from you. Infuse the mirror with your power through focus and intention.

7. Imagine a dark smoke shooting into the mirror and bouncing back white. Do this as long as you can until you start feeling lighter.

8. Say that you send love to any person who may have sent anything dark your way.

9. Blow out the black candle.

10. Take a bath with a bit of salt to end the ritual and purify yourself.

Samhain Release Spell

2. Read what you wrote out loud to the moon.

3. Carefully burn the piece of paper using a candle or bonfire. If you can’t burn it using either, then safely burn it in any accessible way to you.

4. On another piece of paper write about what you are grateful for. Be clear and detailed. Focus your gratitude on the paper. Place the piece of paper in a place where you can see it often as a reminder to create more abundance.

Spell to Connect With The Dead

1. Before you fall asleep on the night of Halloween, write down the name of the person you want to connect with on a piece of paper. Say their name out loud and ask them to come bring you guidance and meet you in your dreams. Place the paper under your pillow.

2. Before falling asleep, imagine how they look, how they smelled, and how they made you feel. Imagine yourself having a conversation with them.

3. Dream.

Feast for the Dead

You can do this alone, with family, or with friends.

1. Make a feast of food and drink consisting of favorites of your beloved dead. If you’re inviting other people, have them bring foods of their dearly departed.

2. Make a plate of food for your dearly departed. You could set a place at the table and leave an empty chair to invite them all to feast with you.

3. If you’re alone then meditate on memories you have with them. If it’s a dinner party, then have everyone around the table share stories about their beloved dead.

4. After the feast, leave a plate outside for animals to honor the natural cycles of life.
