Mercury moves into secret-revealing Scorpio this week, bringing revealing and daring conversations, gossip, and revelations. It’s the real secret sauce to aid your excitement of the incoming spooky season heralded by October’s arrival. With all of this potential drama on the cards, it’s important to be mindful of what you’re saying and to whom. Make sure to listen well to what you’re hearing, though, as there may be something new, interesting and useful.
Aries to Cancer: What the Cards Reveal
Aries (March 21 to April 20) – Three of Swords: You may receive news of some betrayal, backstabbing or grievous verbal damage done to someone you care about, or even to yourself (albeit from way back). It will make you angry, but a cool head is needed to extract yourself or your loved one from this spiderweb. Revenge can be served very very cold, and is often best that way, so don’t plot your payback. Instead, focus on surgically removing yourself from the source of this, then blocking any contact. Build the fortress, get cosy within it, and repair the damage. You are strong and passionate, and your warmth will be needed.
Taurus (April 21 to May 21) – Seven of Coins: A conversation that usually would’ve made you feel excited, hopeful or buzzing about what’s been discussed falls flat. And this strikes you. Something has changed. You’re not the same. Your outlook, desires, priorities have shifted and this is proof of that. It’s also permission to let yourself gravitate away from it, and towards whatever it is that does float your boat now. We all evolve. It’s exciting. It means there is growth and change and new opportunity ahead.
Gemini (May 22 to June 21) – Ace of Wands: A chance encounter with someone who really uplifts and entertains you will lead to a new spark of curiosity that turns into a new (and unplanned) course, class, event, trip, holiday, lifestyle addition, hobby or even role. It’s all about who you know, and then about you following up on the idea they ignite. You love all things new. This is a week of jumping into a new flow and letting it sweep you to a new mood and outlook. It might be something you once tried before, long ago, so hook up with old pals if you can — they’ll jog your memory.
Cancer (June 22 to July 23) – Four of Wands: News of a promotion, better role, pay rise, expanded portfolio or scope of work emerges through the grapevine this week, and you’re wondering whether to put your cap in the ring. The answer is yes. You are ready to get to the next level, even if you don’t fully feel so. The truth is, no one ever does. We all harbour doubt and fear about making bold leaps into the unknown, but a ‘future you’ will handle it all magnificently — and you know it. Don’t hold yourself back, push yourself forwards.
Leo to Scorpio: Confidence and Romance
Leo (July 24 to August 23) – Judgement: You might get some feedback this week, and it serves to spark a new steady glow of self-belief in your own heart. Enough of doubting or undermining your own confidence. Others see you as bold, warm, talented, funny, and great company. Your presence is powerful, let folk show and tell how so. Look in the mirror and like who you see. Everyone else does! And let this confidence fuel your steps all week long. Allow yourself to be led by your best hopes.
Virgo (August 24 to September 23) – Knight of Cups: Flirtations and romances will be on everyone’s lips this week, so if you want to know who has the hots for who then listen well, and watch. People’s actions, more than words, betray their true desires. On that note, let yourself be more overt about your passions and desires too. Speak up, make a gesture, invite someone to do something, be direct. Romance is all around you this week, so whatever your relationship status — know things can improve and get spicier, hotter, and more exciting! Think big, think bold. Pursue your ideal vision of love. The Knight of Cups is like Cupid, and is on your side.
Libra (September 24 to October 23) – Six of Cups: A blast from the past will rock your world this week, in a good way. It might be news of a forgotten love, a vindication for an old wound, a piece of gossip about a common enemy that makes you all smile, an invite, a reunion, a rekindling of a relationship that broke down. Whatever it is, give it airtime, let it into your realm. If second chances are requested… why not? Sometimes things go full circle. Sometimes things that blew up before can thrive now because everything is different. Don’t shut down an olive branch from your past. Look closer.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22) – Two of Wands: Let your conversations act like pressure tests this week to really prove or disprove your loosely held thoughts, ideas, and hypotheses. Let dialogue bring clarity and certainty where there is currently ambiguity or doubt. Ask weird questions, follow up the answers, validate, probe. And at the end of the week your priorities and key values will be all the more solid, real, tested, and ready to guide you through what you’ve got on the agenda this autumn. This is a ‘discovery’ week, ready to help you zoom in on the most important stuff.
Sagittarius to Pisces: Alliances and Boundaries
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21) – Three of Coins: Let others into your realm this week. Don’t keep them at arm’s length, refuse help, or turn away from good advice. You have an amazing and enviable network — why not use it to its full potential? You can get so much further, faster, when you join forces, take inputs, let folk do something to help, collaborate and co-create. Make this a week of creating alliances with people you trust and like to get your goals cooking with gas! I know you’re independent and capable. But everyone needs help. You have access to the very best… so use it.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 21) – King of Cups: Whatever is happening with chatty Mercury in secretive Scorpio, you won’t let it rattle you or your rock-solid inner circle… in fact, it might prove entertaining as you catch the latest gossip shaken out by this transit. Stay resolute, focused, and emotionally intelligent (as ever) while those around you follow the latest leads. People may need your stoic presence, calm words, and wise advice this week. Give it freely, help comfort, reassure and encourage folk to a better place after whatever they’ve heard. You are a rock!
Aquarius (January 22 to February 19) – The Chariot: When there’s new news around, events and circumstances often open up and conspire to create new opportunities. You are shrewd and intelligent enough to spot where they are and, better yet, whether they align with your own ambitions and goals — which I think they will. You could be on the move, quite literally. A new role, move, location, home or purpose is unfolding, helped along by the new news circulating this week, so pay attention and act with focus and positivity if you see the right opening.
Pisces (February 20 to March 20) – The Devil: Notice, resist, and replace a few old habits that you might notice yourself being drawn into this week, as other folk struggle to cope with all the gossip, scandal and new news unfolding. By habits, I mean relationship dynamics. Possibly you being dragged into other folks’ drama, being drained of your own energy to boost someone else, getting sucked dry by a needy friend who is never going to listen to your advice or do the right thing anyway (no matter how many times you help them). Protect your peace. Draw boundaries. Step away from emotional bloodsuckers! You know who they are, and you know where it gets you. Avoid and evade.
