Tarot and Art Horoscope for Week of Oct 27, 2019

Happy Halloween.  This is also my fourth anniversary for this blog.  And, I just wanted to thank you all for doing this journey with me. Now onto the tarotcast.

I could have gone for Bosch or Edward Gorey as my last spooky artist.  But I wanted to shine some light on another “newbie”, in comparison, artist.  She is digital artist Alex (#squidub_art on Instagram).  First, I love that her bio says just a chick looking to make a living on art.  I saw the piece above and it’s the shadow work behind many of these pieces that give them that darker eerie element.  This series is inspired from the Hollow Knight video game by Team Cherry.  Her portraits that people have commissioned her are amazing.  There is such a warmth and sense of who these people are.  That’s not easy to do in any medium, but especially in digital.  She has a small following on Instagram but should have a bigger audience.  So, you all will have to go to her Instagram page, follow her and ask her to do a piece for you. Support the arts!

 

P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you.  Scorpio this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Taurus it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time.

 

Aries

*Wheel of Fortune – The Wheel of Fortune is the card of luck.  Events, people and things will come to you this week that have the potential to change your fortune.  However, there is only one challenge or aspect you can control when this card shows up and that is stepping up to the wheel to spin. The more often and wider variety of places the better your odds.  This looks as simple as buy some lotto tickets, getting your self out there in the dating scene, or sending out resumes to a wide variety of jobs or places you are interested in moving to.  You never know when lady luck wants to show up, but you need to step out of your comfort zone to meet her.

 

Taurus

*Sun – When the Sun card comes, it shines an intentional light on you – wanting you to grow.  The Sun gives you the energy to use, but you will need to focus it.  So, the question it asks is: What do you want to cultivate in your life?  Once you have decided where to aim your beam, the challenge becomes being aware of what intensity of energy each project needs.  i.e.  Lasers cut, ambient light comforts.  This is an important test for you bulls, because when you fixate on what you want your touch can be heavy handed.

 

Gemini

https://www.instagram.com/squidub_art/Page of Swords – This card advises you that the truth needs to be ferreted out this week.  The Page of Swords shows up when you need to put on your detective hat and do some inquiry.  Nothing is as it seems on the surface, but with some questioning and reading between the lines problems and their solutions can be found.

 

Cancer

Leo

digital art by Squidub AlexKnight of Swords – Last week, you were back on the karmic roller coaster. The Wheel of Fortune card advising you to take chances leading to lessons and profitability in the long game.  This week is a 180 degree turn of energy.  Last week was about taking chances.  This week’s card, though your environment might egg you on to be daring, advises you to slow your roll, think before acting and look both ways while crossing the street.  Be physical careful of your appendages. Watch where you walk and watch your knife when prepping food.

 

Virgo

https://www.instagram.com/squidub_art/  *World – Wow another karma card that’s three in a row.  The last two weeks the Moon had you taking a deep dive into your subconscious finding pearls of wisdom. Then Justice continued the theme of behind the scenes with ideas, communications and decisions.  Having you look for the reasons behind the facts to help you with decision making.  And now the World card has arrived.  It is the supreme card of new opportunities.  This is a great week to try out new places, prospects, and people.  This week represents a turning point from the past to a brighter future.  The challenge with this card is discovering these new terrains.  The lesson is, though you can walk through a new door, you do not have to commit until you try as many doors as you want.  This can look as simple as continuing dating even though you found a nice person to hang with or continuing to the job hunt even though you have found a good job.  You never know what is out there unless you open as many doors as possible.

 

Libra

Six of Cups– This is your second Six, so sixes are about readjusting.  Last week the Six of Swords advised you to re-balance by taking a little respite from your daily life.  This week the Six of Cups is about balancing the past with your present.   There is some unsettled history that will re-surge. However, now is time to resolve these issues so you can move on.  The challenge is seeing the growth that you have gained despite the past.

 

Scorpio

Seven of Wands – This birth year will be kinda of a Rosa Parks year for you.  The Seven of Wands forecast your lessons will be around standing up for yourself and/or some worthwhile cause.  The challenge is you feeling not confident and vulnerable. This year will test your resolve to be the change you want to see in the world, however, you are ready for this task.

 

Sagittarius

digital art by Squidub AlexEight of Coins – The last couple of weeks have had some high energy fluxes.  First the High Priestess having you looking to synchronicities for guidance, texts for knowledge, and your soul for cyclic behavior.  And then the Lovers continuing the theme of cooperation with the Universe and with other living beings.  This week, which is also the beginning of your summation month for your birth year, the card of mastery shows up.  So, with all that you have learned the past couple of weeks it is time to apply it to your “work.”  To become a master at any skill, it takes the total effort of your: heart, mind, and soul working together in tandem. ― Maurice Young

 

Capricorn

digital art by Squidub AlexFive of Wands – Hmm your second five.  Fives are the cards of chaos.  Last week, the Five of Coins foretold the physical plane could cause disarray to your plans.  And this week the Five of Wands foretells that people’s chaos can spin into your world.  The only plans of action, when seeing the whirling dervish coming towards you, is decide whether to sidestep it or dance with it.  Hint:  They say the best way to do the whirling dervish is keep your arms open.  Your right arm directed to the sky, ready to receive the universes beneficence, focus your gaze on your left hand turned toward the earth to ground you and spin.

 

Aquarius

digital art by Squidub AlexKnight of Swords – Last week the Strength card showed you that one of your true strengths comes from your resilience.  And then it advised you to contemplate on your superpowers and their corresponding kryptonite. If you did this exercise, then this week will barely phase you.  However, if you didn’t, your kryptonite will show up with you unawares.  The best way to work with this energy is slow down, watch where you are going and think before you act.

 

Pisces

digital art by Squidub AlexFour of Cups – This week has a melancholy feel to it.   This can send you inward to your safe space, and that is a fine place to stay for part of the time.  This reflection will show you “the why” of your quagmire.  The challenge however is you will only find the solutions if you look outside of yourself.

 

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Nina
