Tarot for Virgo - The Unexplained

Reading for October 25/26 2024, but please remember that time in Tarot is fluid.

This reading is for all Virgos placements: Sun, Moon, Venus, and/or Ascendant.

If this reading resonates with you and you’d like to book a private session, feel free to PM me:) Private readings are not free, but the price is negotiable. Most of the time, when I do free private reading this is for my family or for those closest to me - these are my rules and most other tarot readers have similar policies.

Unexplained Problem: 7 of Cups + Reversed 8 of Cups

It feels difficult for you to get close to your person right now. The 7 of Cups suggests that this person wants to take steps toward a shared future, but you are hesitating.

Hidden Reasons for the Problem: 5 of Cups + Reversed 8 of Cups

Creating a healthy relationship is challenging for you because past disappointments keep resurfacing. Someone once shattered your hopes. Moving on has been hard. The 8 of Cups here tells us that someone may have left you suddenly or abruptly, making the experience even more painful.

Visible, Yet Unclear Causes of the Problem for Virgo: The Lovers + 9 of Wands

Your partner might be putting too much pressure on you to make a decision and keep up with them. This pressure may be unspoken, but it’s still affecting you both.

What They Think of You and Your Feelings: Reversed Knight of Pentacles + Reversed 2 of Wands + Reversed King of Swords

They feel frustrated by your cautious pace in this relationship, viewing you as reserved and hesitant toward new experiences. They feel you’re unwilling to open up and to adapt. The Reversed King of Swords portrays how they see you as distant and cold. They may understand the struggles you’re going through, but they’re feeling helpless against the wall you've put up.

A side note: notice the abundance of blue on your side, symbolizing sadness and melancholy.

What to Focus on: Reversed The Moon

You may tend to linger on past issues for years. There’s a deep sense of grievance within you.

What You Can Overlook: Reversed Ace of Pentacles

This might not be the time for new opportunities. You may not be ready yet. Your heart needs healing above all else.

Lesson from the Problem: Reversed 6 of Wands + Reversed Knight of Swords + Reversed The Sun

True victory lies only in following your genuine feelings. You can’t force happiness in a relationship if you don’t truly feel it, especially if you’re not yet ready.

Experience Gained for the Future: Reversed The Tower

You will learn to take control and initiate a breakup if necessary. The Tower represents someone who has been through transformative experiences. If you choose to part ways, it may be very difficult but potentially essential.

Future: Queen of Wands + Reversed 10 of Cups + Reversed 3 of Swords + Reversed 6 of Swords + 9 of Cups + Reversed 5 of Wands

The Queen of Wands represents friendship among women, and I sense that you will find strength, support, and inspiration from a female friend who will be there for you. Reversed 10 of Cups indicates that you’ll realize this relationship offered an illusion of happiness that couldn’t last. Reversed 3 of Swords points to your challenge of breaking free from toxic behavior patterns, while Reversed 6 of Swords shows a tendency to avoid facing issues. More challenges lie ahead, but this woman’s positive influence will bring you comfort.

Tarot for Taurus - Unexplained

Reading for October 25, 2024, but please remember that time in Tarot is fluid.

This reading is for all Taurus placements: Sun, Moon, Venus, and/or Ascendant.

This is likely the longest zodiac reading I’ve done here so far, but the cards were practically jumping out of the deck on their own.

If this reading resonates with you and you’d like to book a private session, feel free to PM me:) Private readings are not free, but the price is negotiable. Most of the time, when I do free private reading this is for my family or for those closest to me - these are my rules and most other tarot readers have similar policies.

Unexplained Issue: Reversed 10 of Pentacles + Reversed 4 of Swords + Reversed Hermit + Reversed 3 of Wands + 5 of Wands + 6 of Swords

The reversed Hermit suggests that you’re feeling lonely and it’s the painful kind of loneliness. Reversed 10 of Pentacles – you’re distancing yourself from someone important to you, indicating the breakdown of a relationship that once felt so solid. Reversed 4 of Swords shows that you’ve passively accepted this. Reversed 3 of Wands reveals why you feel this way – third parties influenced this relationship, causing you deep hurt. 5 of Wands suggests that you were forced into competing for someone’s attention (a blow to Taurus pride). 6 of Swords shows that, as a result, you began to lose this person. You felt longing, but now you just want to venture far away from it all. Sad, indeed.

I’d add that the Hermit points out that you experienced all this silently, emotionally withdrawing. You feel betrayed. You didn’t want this distance, but circumstances forced it. The Hermit, then, symbolizes your approach, while The Fool represents that important person in your life who, like The Fool, repeats the same patterns, is self-centered, and good at manipulation.

I asked about The Fool’s attitude toward the situation: Reversed 7 of Pentacles + Reversed Queen of Wands

In one of the images, you see the spotted cat (The Fool) looking back at the cloaked figure (the Hermit), who is walking away in the opposite direction. He does care, after all. The reversed 7 of Pentacles suggests that he waited for you to take the initiative, but it wasn’t the right moment for him to form a relationship. So, I asked, “Why not?” The cards answered: Queen of Cups + The Emperor + Ace of Pentacles + Reversed 8 of Cups.

The Emperor indicates he wanted to present a mature image (though ironically, he’s also embodied by the reversed Fool!). He now has other obligations and is in another relationship. The Ace hints that he has a chance to start fresh with someone else, but the reversed 8 of Cups shows he’s not ready for this new chapter… yet he’s not conflicted. He wants to keep everything for himself. The reversed Queen of Wands reveals that he’s possessive of you, wanting to keep you close, but without offering the same in return.

Hidden causes of the issue: Judgement + Reversed Hanged Man

Llittle hope for a fresh start in this relationship... though the reversed Hanged Man suggests someone’s perspective on this is distorted. Judgement is upright, showing a new beginning was possible. But look left to see how far this has gone. And below, there you are, wandering in the darkness.

Obvious yet misunderstood causes of the problem for Taurus: 4 of Cups + Reversed 3 of Swords + The Moon

This person feared you would hurt him again. The Moon shows he buried this deep in his subconscious, even from himself.

What requires your attention: Reversed 10 of Cups + Reversed 3 of Pentacles

You need to acknowledge that there is a mutual misunderstanding, yet external circumstances currently prevent communication.

What you can ignore or skip over: Page of Cups + 9 of Wands + Ace of Wands

You’ve gone through an emotional ordeal, so protect your feelings and your inner self. The Page of Cups is fragile. The cards advise you to view this distance as a fresh beginning.

The lesson of this experience: Reversed Death + 5 of Cups + Reversed Justice

Try not to dwell on losses. Yes, I can see you are doing this (5 of Cups). I asked why you shouldn’t dwell on losses, and the reversed King of Cups replied – because resentment isn’t what you truly feel. So what does Taurus actually feel? Reversed Devil + 9 of Pentacles: there was so much pain, but within you lies acceptance and liberation – just like on that card where the cat drifts on calm waters.

What you’ve gained and will be able to use later: Reversed Wheel of Fortune + 5 of Swords

This was a battle for affection, but you, Taurus, chose to fight for yourself. No love should place you in a position like the one described in this reading.

Reversed King of Wands + 2 of Swords – this situation taught you not to accept the status quo when someone important to you is torn between you and someone else – you now understand your own worth and the strength with which you are capable of loving.

Future: 2 of Pentacles + 10 of Swords + Page of Swords + Knight of Swords + High Priestess

Because of your own caution, you’ll make a choice that will cause this person pain. Perhaps even the fact alone that you no longer trust him will hurt him. The Knight suggests a conversation is coming.

Tarot for Taurus: Changes

This reading is for all Taurus Suns, Moons, Risings, or Venus placements.

If this reading resonates with you and you'd like to book a private session, feel free to PM me.

Your current energy: Reversed 3 of Swords

You are going through some form of grief, maybe a sudden breakdown. Issues in communication and relationships are apparent.

How you’re feeling right now: Reversed 5 of Wands

Inner conflict. A struggle between conflicting desires.

In which area of life will changes occur? Reversed 5 of Swords

Your current sense of being powerless in the face of fate will shift.

In which area should changes happen? Ace of Swords

For your well-being, you should cut ties with toxic relatives and learn to set boundaries.

Your overall attitude toward change: Temperance

Very good, there is acceptance of changes. You are waiting for them patiently.

What should you pay the most attention to? Reversed 2 of Swords + Page of Swords + 6 of Wands

Your fear of taking action. The Page advises you to try to see the world through the eyes of a child, and the 6 promises you more joy from your success when you do.

How should you prepare for changes? Reversed Hierophant

Try to curb your cynicism. The Hierophant is Taurus’ card – he knows how to forgive, draw the right conclusions, make proper judgments, and at the same time, remain optimistic and sincere.

What should you avoid? Reversed Queen of Wands

Don’t try to control your surroundings and work on building more confidence.

What should you focus on? Reversed Magician

Focus now on strengthening your willpower, as you may be feeling some doubts or issues related to it. The Magician is consistent, and this card advises you to reconcile with your friends – you might be feeling isolated right now.

What positive things will the changes bring? Reversed Knight of Swords + Reversed Knight of Pentacles

They will bring growth: you’ll become more faithful to your own beliefs, more honest, bolder, and more self-assured.

What could happen negatively? 4 of Pentacles

You might become slightly obsessed with controlling others. At some point, you could start fearing these changes, leading to emotional blockage.

Taroscope for Sagittarius: The Unexplained

This spread is for all those with Sagittarius in Sun, Rising, Moon, or Venus.

If this reading resonates with you and you would like a personal reading, feel free to message me privately.

The Problem: 9 of Cups Reversed + Knight of Swords + 2 of Swords + King of Cups Reversed + Queen of Cups Reversed

Notice the amount of Swords, representing both internal and external conflicts. In this case, we see both. There’s also a royal pair from the Cups suit, indicating a problem related to two people once united by romantic love. A conflict has divided the King and Queen, and now they turn their backs on each other. The 2 of Swords reinforces that their future is uncertain (keep this in mind as we proceed further into the reading). The lack of eye contact and being turned away from each other, coupled with the 2 of Swords, indicates a truce. You are in a waiting phase. The Knight of Swords, being upright, suggests that while the conflict was intense, maybe even violent, truths were spoken during it.

More on your attitude towards the situation: Page of Swords + Lovers Reversed + 3 of Swords Reversed

You're currently gathering the courage and honesty to express some unspoken feelings (Lovers). The last card hints at what those feelings are: guilt and an inability to come to terms with what happened.

Hidden causes of the problem: Ace of Swords Reversed

You were at war with each other back then; hurtful words were frequently exchanged, leaving lasting scars. This Ace also shows that both of you may have been immature at the time, unwilling to grow. Aggression, perhaps from your side, played a role.

Obvious, but unclear to Sagittarius, causes of the problem: Queen of Wands

It seems you wanted the Queen or King of Cups, but you got the Queen of Wands or... well, you know. In such cases, look—you’re a fire sign, represented by the Wands court. Here we have fire meeting fire. The Devil card fell out during shuffling, indicating you might have tried to control this person, but the Queen of Wands is not someone who can be controlled. She will fight back. This person did not meet your expectations and disappointed you.

What to focus on: Page of Wands

Pages often speak of potential, and in this case, the potential for Something comes with risks, so keep that in mind—especially given how emotionally invested you are.

What can be ignored or skipped: Empress

Phew, how can you ignore the Empress?? She symbolizes fertility and abundance in many areas of life, including satisfying and lasting love. These are wonderful things, but on this position, the Empress advises you not to get too attached to these hopes, to avoid deep hurt if things don’t go as planned. It seems you desire more than just to apologize. The Empress speaks of the potential for growth, of seeds that sprout into fruitful things. So I suspect you harbor greater hopes than just a conversation. That’s not bad, just keep in mind that things can go either way. You’re still at the stage of the Page, gathering something within, and it’s still too early to predict how much you might gain.

Lesson from the problem: Death + Judgement

Death speaks of transformation, a cutting off from your former self; of discovering the powerful strength within to confront this situation. In Death, the path that leads you to these beautiful transformations passes through fear, pain, a sense of loss, or even despair. Judgement indicates that your new self will be born happy and light because you will gain the forgiveness you seek from this person. You will experience relief and liberation. You will gain deeper insight into your inner self, and your ideals and values will be strengthened.

Gained experience that will serve you later: King of Wands + 7 of Cups Reversed + 9 of Pentacles + Tower

The King of Wands reigns over your element, fire; this is a sign of your great internal growth. What you are going through will teach you not to delay certain actions, whatever it is that usually holds you back. The status quo will be shattered, once and for all, for better or worse.

Future: 7 of Swords + 10 of Wands + 4 of Swords

This 10 symbolizes the completion of your difficult task, while the 7 shows finding a solution to this tough situation... and you will finally find peace. There is a chance that you will overcome this person’s emotional distance.

Leo Horoscope for now and near future

If this reading resonates with you and you'd like to book a personal reading, feel free to send me a private message.

This is a Tarot reading for Leos with Sun, Moon, Venus, or Rising.

Leo - Four Areas Taroscope

The energy you're currently in:

2 of Swords - Inner restlessness.

Psychological sphere, stresses, and tensions:

Judgement reversed + 6 of Swords reversed + Queen of Cups reversed + 10 of Cups reversed + 7 of Wands + Page of Pentacles reversed

It seems like you're holding onto something that lacks potential, honestly. The reversed Judgement suggests that deep down, you’re aware of unfulfillment when it comes to this Something. However, you're still wandering. The reversed 6 of Swords shows you're longing for someone. The Queen speaks of disappointed hopes, unrequited love, but also advises you to accept this state of things. If you accept the disappointment and the rejection of what you offered to this person, you'll be able to move forward. Finally, the 7 of Wands reminds you of your strong, dynamic Leo's personality.

Love and partnerships:

Star reversed + Emperor reversed + St. John's Wort - Dispirited + 2 of Pentacles + 2 of Cups reversed + 3 of Cups reversed

The Star talks about sadness and disappointment that you’re currently going through, while the Emperor shows that you truly wanted to approach this relationship maturely. In short, you wanted to handle it "like an adult." However, there's another option: focusing on friendships for now. By doing so, you'll be able to let go of what the last two cards represent — a sense of loss and lack of fulfillment.

Arguments and conflicts:

Strength + 5 of Swords + 4 of Wands + Queen of Wands reversed + Empress reversed

Strength in this case speaks to reconciliation, and the 5 of Swords gives a hint as to why — because in this situation, the losses would outweigh the gains, and you should strongly defend your boundaries. Right now, you should take care of yourself first. Moreover, this will allow you to overcome a rival. The Queen and Empress indicate that it’s likely a woman, but remember, Strength usually speaks to a victory, about inner balance and strength. Only then does it manifest in the physical realm, and I feel that this may be the kind of victory we’re talking about here.

Work and finances:

Chariot reversed + Knight of Pentacles + 4 of Pentacles reversed

There's a conflict at work, and the cards advise caution. Remember that you need financial stability. There’s some sort of corruption present in your workplace that’s stronger than you.

Aries: Taroscope for Four Life Areas

ARIES - Tarot Reading for Four Life Areas

If this reading resonates with you and you'd like to book a personal reading, feel free to PM me :)

This is for Aries in Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus.

The energy you're currently in: 10 of Swords

In this context, card expresses a sense of emotional burden. Here's a quote from the Midnight Magic Tarot book: "The Ten of Swords announces that what seems like a chaotic experience might only be a natural transitional event (...) Appreciate the lessons you've learned from this hard time instead of focusing on the crisis itself."

1. Mental Sphere, Stress and Tensions: Strength + 7 of Cups + Reversed Ingwaz and Wyrd The 10 of Swords talks about this heavy burden, while the 7 of Cups indicates that you've made peace with letting go of what’s old and no longer serves you. Now, you have access to what you need for inner transformation (Strength). However, Ingwaz emphasizes the need for renewal and regeneration. Along with Strength, it highlights where you should start: within yourself. Wyrd is a rune calling you to trust fate and a Higher Power, which is reinforced by the Tower card appearing later in your spread. Trust that what is leaving your life now is doing so for your benefit. I've always seen Wyrd as a powerful rune connected to destiny, and the Tower represents divine intervention.

2. Love and Partnership: Magician + 3 of Pentacles + 10 of Wands + Page of Swords + 7 of Pentacles The first two cards indicate that your relationship is your driving force during this tough time. However, 10 of Wands and Page of Swords, as advice, say: be honest with this person about how much weight you're carrying right now. You will have the opportunity to see if your relationship is built on solid foundations. If it is, then joy awaits you, as shown by the 7 of Pentacles as the outcome.

3. Arguments and Conflicts: Reversed Wheel of Fortune + Hanged Man + Tower + 4 of Swords + King of Cups It seems like you’re in a state of waiting for some catastrophe, although this mindset is mostly due to your exhaustion. The Tower, as advice, asks you to accept that what hinders you must go. The 4 of Swords, as the outcome, promises peace, renewal of mental energy, calm, and relaxation. However, for now, you need silence and distance. The King of Cups suggests that this may relate to your relationship with your father.

4. Work and Finances: Reversed High Priestess + Reversed Page of Pentacles + Ace of Pentacles + 9 of Cups + The Emperor The High Priestess here could point to your fear of a despotic boss. Additionally, this person may not see your true potential or what you have to offer (indicated by the next two cards). The advice is the 9 of Cups, which tells you that your place is somewhere where you will be appreciated and where you’ll find joy in your professional relationships. There, professional growth, high earnings, and the realization of your true potential await you because The Emperor represents YOU, Aries (a card associated with your zodiac sign):

"The fly agaric is an iconic mushroom, usually the very image we conjure up when we think of a mushroom. They grow large and strong, and aren't afraid to flaunt their bright oranges, yellows, and reds (colors that broadcast their toxic effects to any creature who dare eat it). Like The Emperor card, the fly agaric has earned respect and can teach you a lot about control and leadership."

Tarot reading for the weekend 12 and 13 October - Aries, Taurus, Gemini

Feel free to send me a private message if you’d like to book a personal reading!

ARIES - Odala - Queen of Wands + Reversed Page of Wands + Reversed Page of Swords + Judgement + Reversed Knight of Pentacles + Justice + Sun + Reversed Ace of Wands + Reversed 6 of Cups This is a reading specifically for Aries dealing with legal or family matters. Odala is the rune connected to family, memory, and inheritance. You may be reflecting on family or legal issues. The Queen indicates that the situation is changing dynamically and presents a challenge for you. The Pages suggest arrogance and dishonesty within the family. Justice and Judgement point to legal proceedings related to family matters. The advice here is the Sun—aim for reconciliation, as someone is being very stubborn. The reversed Knight of Pentacles shows that someone is slowing down your actions and the resolution of this issue. The reversed Ace of Wands implies that you may not realize it yet, but reconciliation is necessary, as the person involved is very stubborn. What can you gain? The reversed 6 of Cups suggests that you might be able to cut ties with a toxic family situation. Good luck

TAURUS - Jeran - 3 of Pentacles + 8 of Swords + 7 of Pentacles + 5 of Cups + Fool + Reversed 4 of Swords + 10 of Cups Jeran is the rune of harvesting the fruits of your hard work. Someone truly appreciates your efforts in the relationship (3 of Pentacles), but you’re not seeing it, and you don’t feel appreciated. Sometimes the 5 of Cups indicates pessimism, and that’s the case here. The reversed 4 of Swords shows that there’s an unpleasant atmosphere or circumstances surrounding the relationship, which may be the reason for how you feel. The Fool tells you to keep moving forward; you can achieve anything you desire in this relationship. The 10 of Cups points to the future: this love will overcome everything and survive! Have more faith.

GEMINI - Barkanan (reversed) - Strength + Death + Star + Reversed Devil + Reversed Page of Pentacles + 10 of Wands You will overcome some important obstacles this weekend, and what you’ll need is perseverance, willpower, and mastering your fears and anxieties. Strength speaks of finding your inner strength. Death indicates that something will end and change its form. You are discovering, or have already discovered, a powerful force within you that allows you to face very difficult situations; it also hints at a new relationship, linked to leaving behind old ties. You may experience some form of loss as a price. The Star: you have real hope for success, even if it seems unlikely for you; cosmic protection and the promise of relief. The Devil as advice: free yourself from pain and fear, regain control over your life. The hardest limitations to break are those we impose on ourselves. The reversed Page of Pentacles suggests your future is uncertain for now, but if you follow the advice, you will finish a difficult task and succeed (10 of Wands + 6 of Wands).
