Your Weekly Tarot Reading for October 6–October 12, 2024: Restore Balance and Welcome New Beginnings

The dust has begun to settle after last week’s intense solar eclipse, but do you know what you’ve learned from this astrological event? Eclipses are energetic wild cards that can be unpredictable, but one thing’s for sure: they show us what areas of our lives NEED to change. Sometimes the revelations of an eclipse are exposed immediately, but some are slower to reach the surface. As we continue to move through Libra season, pay attention to the lessons that are being revealed and use that information to your benefit, especially when it comes to letting go of anything inhibiting a sense of harmony in any aspects of your life that feel out of balance. Eclipses bring endings to whatever must go, but they also create potential for new beginnings!

The theme of this week’s intuitively pulled cards highlights the importance of relinquishing control. Uncertainty can be uncomfortable, but when we surrender to the notion that there is very little in life that is within our command, we create more space for peace and calm. Why make life and our circumstances harder than necessary? Go with the flow, accept what is, and know that no matter the outcome, you can handle it and you will be ok due to your resilience.

Read on for your Tarotscopes with cosmic insight and supportive wisdom for the week ahead.

Aries: Eight of Swords

Don’t hold yourself back, Aries. When a new opportunity arises this week, you should explore it before shutting it down. Are you really unqualified and undeserving or is that just your harsh inner critic speaking? Be kinder to yourself and more encouraging rather than creating unnecessary limitations.

Taurus: Five of Pentacles Reversed

Help is here, Taurus. There’s no need to pretend that you’ve got everything handled when you’re feeling overwhelmed! If you need extra support this week, all you need to do is ask for it. Loved ones would be happy to offer assistance, but how will they know if you don’t speak up?

Gemini: Five of Cups

Let the past go in favor of what’s next, Gemini. Not everything goes as we hope it would, and it’s totally ok to be disappointed with the results, especially when something you really wanted doesn’t work out. Let this story unfold a little more, though, because it will soon make sense why this happened.

Cancer: The Star

Leo: Wheel of Fortune

Embrace change and go with the flow, Leo. There is very little in life that is within our control, and this week’s circumstances remind you to expect the unexpected. Rather than resisting the inevitable and attempting to grip too tightly to the past, just let go and ride the wave to whatever is in store for you! It could be better than you even imagined.

Virgo: The Emperor

Retain your power, Virgo. It’s time to get down to business this week, and that’s going to entail some healthy boundaries and limits around your time and energy.  Once you simplify and release the extraneous, unnecessary stuff from your schedule, you will be able to see what is truly within your control as well as what isn’t so you don’t get lost in other people’s stuff. 

Libra: Six of Wands

Hard work pays off, Libra. Everything is going according to plan because of the efforts and sacrifices you have made in the name of your goals. Make time this week to notice how your achievements are blossoming into fruition to gain the motivation to keep moving forward with steadfast determination.
