Happy October <3

Welcome to October loves. Probably my favorite month of the year in my favorite season. Falling deeper into myself & my practices each autumn is a rebirth like no other. I feel at home when the air is crisp & cooling inside your lungs. Whirls of crimson & tangerine shades call for attention to be paid at home & regarding creativity. Creation urges: make something meaningful with the time you’re given. Open your sacral & throat chakras; what does your body want & need? What words have you been holding back? Express yourself to release excess energy that can make unnecessary tension in your interpersonal relationships. Align yourself as an individual to show up as a friend, partner, professional.

I hope that these monthly tarotscopes find you well & provide some insight/guidance <3

Remember to check your sun, moon, rising, & Venus signs (or more) for extra clarity 🙂

Tarotscopes

Aries: The Lovers

This is a beautiful time of empowerment in your interpersonal relationships. The passage of time is inevitably linked to shifts & the need to make decisions accordingly. It’s normal to be nervous but resisting changes only harms your bonds by blocking fresh energy with the potential to create new. Don’t dredge up the past & expect to move forward. Make choices that support the strength & growth of your connections. Mutual respect is the basis of successful partnerships of all kinds. Without this you cannot build a solid foundation. Don’t tolerate disrespect or anything that makes you feel as if you must suppress your intensity & passion. The right people & situations will see the inherent value in your energy & essence. Express gratitude for those you care for & be conscious in efforts to support continued balance & happiness in your relationships.

Offers of exclusivity & commitment may come to those whose connections have been experiencing divine timing & karmic cycles at play. If you’re in a stable relationship, developments like moving together, getting engaged or married, adopting a pet or having children may come into fruition. If you’re single, focus on chasing your desires & joy.

Remember that divine unions take a multitude of forms. Honor each connection, past & present, as helping guide you toward understanding of what a safe place to love & exist in raw form feels like. Process of elimination by experience is often the preferred learning method for the trailblazer of the zodiac. Usher in the best for by wishing those in the past well in order to release ties.

The person that you’re meant to end up with will be ready to make daily life an adventure & make a beautiful intertwined existence. Don’t settle for less than a fire that makes your heart sing.

Taurus: Wheel of Fortune

The changes being made now are activating your destiny. Things may feel disorienting or shocking, but trust that your life purpose is rapidly coming into focus. Shed what’s outgrown; what’s aligned will fall into place. Have faith that the Universe is always weaving its design in divine timing, & this motion is forever moving in your favor. If you’ve felt slightly untethered or disconnected from the Universe, reminders are coming that you’re part of something bigger which sees & loves you. This timeline is not accident or coincidence, but truly fate working out in your life. Divine intervention is a miracle to be recognized & praised. Imagine if that one small event hadn’t occurred how your existence would have been altered, for better or worse. Count your blessings for where you’re at & where you’re headed. Continue to show love to others & don’t get ahead of yourself to reap good karma as you seek to advance. Look out for angel numbers (including birthday, sequences, dates of significance) & synchronicities as signs from the spiritual that your energy work is manifesting in the physical realm. Don’t let the Venus energy of Libra season carry you away from the practical into the hedonistic. Practice self care & self love, not selfishness. Promote cycles of giving instead.

Gemini: The Fool

You’re entering a time of new beginnings. Having mixed feelings about this is fair; starting over or from scratch is intimidating. Still, you know that the potential in the unknown is better than living without true fulfillment as you have been. Being ready is a decision more than a state. You can put it off forever because something always pops up, or make up your mind to do it. Make the change. Nothing will change if you don’t take the plunge. Take a chance on you & your dreams, or who else will? No risk, no reward. Familiar & comfortable holds you back from new experiences which can bring in abundance & expand your potential. You need to go where you’ve never been to find what this next phase is meant to encompass. Make the most out of spontaneous energy. Be excited about where the winds & your determination will take you. Even if lacking experience at something, the Mercury-ruled Gemini mind is built for learning. Recognize when your naivety sparks up, though. Innocence is a virtue but not everyone is so lucky to have the privilege of theirs not being stripped away. Be conscious of the roads unseen that all of us have traveled as human beings. However, not everyone possesses empathy. Outside forces will seek to discredit or bring you down in an effort to suppress your power for their gain/to conform to the status quo. Don’t give up. Alchemize doubt & ill intention into power. You’re meant to stand in your authority regardless, or rather in spite, of external noise aiming to distract from the truth. Let yours ring out with clarity & distinction in a sea of superficiality.

Cancer: Father of Swords

Cancer is centered around the domestic sphere & is the mother sign of the zodiac. You care deeply for your chosen family & friends, creating bonds built around karmic ties & mutual feelings based on shared experiences. Conflict among those you cherish clearly upsets you even when attempted to be hidden under the surface. It’s okay to have feelings, just don’t project them onto others. Seek to remove yourself emotionally in order to view situations objectively. A holistic & comprehensive approach is the only way to get the full story. Use perception about what others may be seeking to conceal. Acting to promote justice for everyone involved will earn you respect. So Libra season 🙂 Be fair to everyone, including yourself! Nurture yourself too Cancer babies. Taking responsibility for your (in)actions is a natural consequence that all must go through. Self-victimization from you can bring the same energy back around. Analyze when it’s time to fight or just be quiet. Is a battle really worth it? What’s to be gained for anyone? Make love, not war. How can you help make one relationship in your life more honest & open? It’s a time of exposure, so let your raw energy shine & be appreciated as souls are bared this month & eclipse season officially closes out. The sense of self that you emerge with will be more authentic & self-assured. Look forward to meeting them <3

Leo: 6 of Wands

It’s felt like you’ve been making it past hurdles & dodging curveballs without a break for too long. Even if it seems unlikely, energetic breakthrough is coming soon. Focusing on past disappointment wastes potential; manifest better in the future by being present with your head up so that you can see what’s ahead. You’re going to beat the odds in a real-life success story that you dreamt of before experiencing it. Bask in the privilege of deserved pride in how far you’ve traveled & all that’s been accomplished already. Doesn’t victory taste sweet after a bout of internal discord & being humbled by the Universe? You have a greater appreciation for this abundance with firsthand knowledge of how fortune can always shift. Confidence is your superpower. Manifest a magnetic aura to attract the recognition that your efforts have deserved. Doors are opening for you, your name is coming up in conversations positively, others admire the way you carry yourself in the world. Remember that power comes with responsibility. Make use of your position & privilege to bring attention to issues &/or individuals with smaller platforms to get their voices out. Helping others on their way to their dreams brings good favor back to you. A life without freedom is unjust, antithetical to the key tenet of Libra season. Allow yourself to learn & grow without judgment. You shape the path of your journey. Where do you want to go next? It’s your life. Just don’t go back to the darkness, that was enough for a while. Allow this season to be a new life blossoming as you gather harvests from seeds planted & tended to over the past months.

Virgo: 8 of Pentacles

Learning more about your craft is bringing in big blessings. Following your passion & soul purpose is key to getting the Universe’s attention for your work. Let the spider be your model in dedication to making something meaningful by practicing & paying attention to the details. Build up your skill set by addressing any weaknesses & where room to grow exists. Something can only define you as much as you allow it to. Overcome it. Move on so you never even think about what once was your main stress source. No matter how hard you try to do the right thing, you’ll never hit true success until you believe in yourself. Confidence is key to manifesting. How can the Universe deliver if you don’t even think that you deserve it? Step out of lack mentality in favor of the laws of attraction & assumption. Life is intricate; specificity about the dreams you’re working to bring into the physical realm helps streamline the process. Projects that you’re passionate about are meant to be pursued & perhaps used as a blueprint for expansion into a bigger picture. Life is a journey to learn: if you don’t develop what’s the point? Stepping into the role of student in the game of life helps to flip the script from helplessness towards empowerment. You’re responsible for building a fulfilling life for yourself by taking deliberate actions towards the experiences that you desire. Where you end up is dependent upon where your attention flows now & leads your energy. How do you unwind & relax the mind? Find & engage in a hobby that lets you create without expectation in order to express & release pent up emotions. Being ‘good’ at it isn’t what’s relevant; this practice is about enjoyment. Incorporate tiny acts of joy in your daily life as a form of resistance & perseverance against grind culture which only breeds burnout. Be a human.

Libra: The Magician

Happy solar return Libra! This season is all about you; it’s so fitting that your manifestation powers are being emphasized now. You’re powerful & it’s time to see this truth yourself without feeling the need to seek it in the form of external validation. Maximizing your potential in this phase requires that you focus within first & then move outward. Coming into the world as our best selves calls for reflection on what we want beforehand. One can then move with greater purpose & direction on a streamlined path. With a clear vision about what you’re working for, energy is available to make it reality & clear any hurdles faced on this journey. Taking positive action forward is the only way to try ensuring that things start moving in the right direction. Intentionality is crucial to send & keep this trajectory in alignment. Don’t hold back your ideas or passion; this is where the magic happens & must be acted upon in the moment to seize the magic of opportunity. Don’t be reckless with your pure energy, it’s more potent than you realize & can create unintended outcomes if not deliberate in your creativity. There’s no limit to what you’re able to manifest during your season, so be wise & trust that you’re shifting timelines now based on the choices that you make. Ensure that they align with your values to reap good karma back to you & promote outcomes that serve your highest self. What methods of nurturing your skills & abilities have the potential to bring back a greater return on investment? How can your talents serve both yourself and your loved ones/community? Time is of the essence as your season is but one month. Start building your dream life now! Channel the elements in your favor; what lessons gleaned by each are relevant to your mission? Beginning in the consciousness as feeling or thought, let your intellect melded with creativity guide your ideas into the physical realm. Be graceful, don’t rush it.

Scorpio: Mother of Cups

Stop downplaying your psychic gifts. You’ll never get the recognition that you deserve while failing to sufficiently celebrate yourself. Your treatment of yourself sets the standard for others. Make it a high one to prevent access to your energy for low vibrational individuals. Don’t let your magnetism draw in those who will abuse your ethereal state. Your insights are very valuable & guiding others on their journeys reaps rewards, but ensure that you don’t expend lots of energy & make yourself vulnerable for those undeserving of these efforts. You’re meant to embrace your gentle nature now & fully step into your interpretation of the divine feminine. Regardless of how this differs for us as diverse & unique women, it uniformly includes a devout respect for the gift of female intuition. It’s imperative that you incorporate more art, music, & beauty into your existence to support a healing journey built on tranquil strength gained from a spiritual core. Don’t hesitate to ask for help, even if it’s an unfamiliar or uncomfortable feeling. An external force may seek to disrupt your aura; it’s your calling to return this energy to the sender & alchemize all pain into power. No weapon raised against you shall prosper. Don’t allow yourself to be pushed into aggression or defensiveness as a result of &/or response to energy which is simply reflecting the insecurity carried by another. Let it be reaped back towards them as always ensured by karma. It’s a long game, don’t be fooled. Grace in the face of injustice comes back tenfold in the form of various blessings. Victim mentality holds you back from accessing this state of receiving & acceptance. Allow yourself to lean on your those that you care about when distressed. Mutuality is the basis of healthy & lasting relationships. Make your chosen family those who chose you as well.

Sagittarius: 2 of Swords

The conflict at hand has deeper origins than may appear at first glance. Pulling at the seams shows that the intensity of these currents has the power to drag you under the surface with speed. A clash of wills around what resolution looks like in this scenario emphasizes these different perspectives are rooted in separate perceptions of reality. Can you find the space in between these viewpoints & create something meaningful to be shared in the spirit of compromise? If conflicted while making decisions, reflect upon the possibility that you’re subconsciously blocking your own way/stopping yourself from seeing the full truth. Remove your blindfold, recognizing the role that you’ve played in keeping it in place. Let your intuition guide the way forward with this new freedom, having faith that it always recognizes the right path. Reveal in the bright light of honesty what’s been attempted to be left hidden. Masks will continue to fall until this eclipse season ends on October 21st. The past cannot be brushed under the rug or forgotten no matter how much you want it to be, or imagine it is from a place of avoidance. You’re only building a bigger blowup when tensions come to a head in an inevitable standoff. Releasing tensions as they come up through open & healthy communication helps to prevent festering into resentment. If you care about someone, you have to talk to them & want your relationship to grow along with you as individuals. Stagnancy is the equivalent of death. If you’re not progressing at all in any way, what’s the point? Break a stalemate with yourself today.

Capricorn: Judgment

It’s time to release any burdens that you’ve been carrying, with many long past their expiration & place in your life. Why do you hold on to what no longer serves you? Living in accordance with the truth clears blockages, creating space for aligned blessings to come in. Extend forgiveness towards yourself & others for past disappointments & old wounds to encourage healing. Dig up the roots of conflict to see what deeper issues lurk under the surface. Getting to the heart of matters is the way forward. Make comprehensive evaluations based on facts. The blame game is worthless & harmful. It takes two to tango. Trying to shift guilt towards others doesn’t absolve you. You can’t make things right through self-victimization either. Sacrifices reset the balance, not excuses. You’ll feel greater freedom without the unnecessary extra weighing you down. Where will you decide to go, what will you do, when you let desire steer your path? Life isn’t meant to be pain & suffering. Life is beauty & happiness too. We live in a duality, but energy goes where attention flows. Be mindful of yours. Perspective & positivity are powerful. Use them to manifest the life that you’ve only dreamed of before now. Have faith that your words speak a new reality into existence. Rise into your higher self. Being petty doesn’t serve your greater good or those around you. How can your wisdom from experience be used to benefit your community & the collective? How does living in fear limit your potential success & happiness? Lack mentality is a thing of the past. Usher in a new life by shifting your thoughts into a state of grateful receptivity. Opening your eyes to all of the blessings in front of you can activate a spiritual rebirth. Leave the past in its place to feel relieved & exalted at last.

*

Aquarius: The Chariot

You’re on a steady forward momentum now, but must recognize this yourself rather than seeking external validation. Having confidence is usually the difference between success & failure. You’ve been clearing obstacles, how do you not see this? Stop moving the bar higher each time you make your way past it without letting yourself bask in the joy of accomplishment. Be proud of yourself, or who will? People don’t like a pity party either. Set your strong will towards allowing yourself to be happy. Recognize that it’s a choice made each day. You can be victorious over the parts of you that bask in the discomfort. Any victimization is self-enforced if not self-inflicted at this time. Free yourself as an autonomous, independent force of nature. Reconnect with the fierce survivor within & never lose them again. You were born to break boundaries & shift the landscape from which you came for the better. Focus in on what you desire in order to manifest it with greater ease. Be clear about what you want. Trust that further clarity is incoming. Visualize what you’re working toward in your mind’s eye to maintain sense of direction. Keeping one foot on the ground & allow the other to jump towards the sky to maximize potential & retain authenticity. Don’t compromise on what’s integral to your vision & sense of self. What’s not meant for you will fall away to make way for this radical new life that you only dreamed of before.

Pisces: 5 of Pentacles Reversed

You’ve been dealing with so much stress for too long. Unemployment/job insecurity has resulted in financial hardships, & you feel the strain. This period has felt painfully long with seemingly no end in sight, but your fortune is actively shifting. Step out of the lack mentality holding you back & into an abundance mindset. Every cent that you spend comes back to you tenfold. Any rejections are blessings in disguise blocking you from paths unaligned with your soul purpose. Faith through these hard times has reaped good karma in your favor. If you’ve been experiencing stress-related illness, trust that these symptoms will decrease with time & especially self-care. Acting with love towards yourself (& others) is especially needed during the darkness to remind of the returning light. Life cycles through phases. You’ll never be in the same place for long, be that misfortune or overflowing. Let worry wash away knowing that this is temporary & what you’ll be welcoming is better than anything experienced yet. It’s okay to be sad about what’s left behind or yet unfulfilled, but find comfort in the fact that your story is still unfolding in divine timing. Utilize mindfulness & meditation to dispel of anxiety holding you back from finding peace in the present. Visualization & manifestation are powerful tools to accelerate your wishes making their way into the physical realm. You’re powerful. Believe it. Rise out of the shackles of the past & self-fulfilling prophecies. Believe that things are falling together, not apart.

I hope that these messages provided guidance on your journeys & for the month loves. F22 is on a license plate drove by as I’m typing this sign off, showing that this is venture is fated & unfolding as it should be. Grateful for this opportunity is an understatement. Sending love to Bria & 224 as a whole today, tomorrow & forever <3

Besos,

I’m so honored to be writing my first post for 224 & feel a sense of divine community at play. Bonds that we make weave through our lives in divine timing. Rarely do we realize the impact that an individual will have upon our being when first encountering them. Each soul that crosses your path does so for a reason that’s not always clear until time & space provide space for reflection. Honor each connection that has existed in your life to absorb lessons & release karmic ties.

Bria & I met online years ago as young mothers seeking connection in what can feel like a sea of isolation at times. The intersection of two divine feminines raising another generation of women in their power marked a new beginning for us as individuals & the collective. The unhealed divine masculine is entering its era of judgment/justice to reconcile for past (in)actions. Simultaneously, the divine feminine experiences rewards for her perseverance & faith through so many obstacles.

Having the opportunity to see B make her dream come true on her own terms & now be a part of this project feels fated. I’ve dreamed about being paid to create but felt the pressures of capitalism weighing on me. Her independence & innovation are paving the way for greater freedom in mine, & for that I’m forever grateful. Having a platform to express the comprehensive intersection of my passion for tarot, astrology, social issues, political science, psychology, and art is a priceless gift.

During autumn, Gaia calls for us to go inward for healing in accordance with nature. Release what is weighing you down to ground yourself in this moment & maximize the potential of the present. Doing so requires stepping into the natural flow of abundance. Move with the Universal motions to reduce frustration & energetic blockages. Stop fighting the currents within, they’re guiding you. Sacred mirrors in the physical realm are meant to reveal where balance is needed.

Value & cherish those who reflect & bring out the best in you. Who are they? Who brings out your shadow self? What wounds do they seem to pour salt into? Realize that their presence is reflecting back what’s still unhealed. Address your issues, thank them for promoting recognition, & allow yourself to release the pain of the past. Move into this timeline untethered to propel forward with higher velocity & focus.

Recognize how far you’ve come. What a journey you’ve been on through the years. Honor it & the divine spark within that carried you through to a place that you dreamed of only a few years ago. You’ve always been the hero that you waited for to save you from the fire. You found faith within first & foremost. Now, it’s time for a new chapter.

This period is about, despite being able to stand alone, consciously choosing to pour into bonds & connections that serve the greater good of each individual. Ensuring that all involved are seen for their true selves, met at their current state, appreciated & loved for who they are, helped & empowered to reach their potential creates an energetic balance in relationships. How can you create reciprocal cycles of giving & receiving as a means of institutionalized kindness in your life?

We live & love in a duality. Resources & power are distributed between people in varying states of having & not. How do you view yourself when you’re giving to others? What about when you’re receiving? Don’t permit negative perceptions to hold you back from opportunities which require vulnerability for success. You’re not any better when you’re being charitable, don’t get on a high horse for being a decent person. Make humanity normal again. It’s not selfish to accept help when you need it either. Be brave to ask for what you need. It’s an act of self love & preservation.

Scarcity mindset only holds you back. It’s time to leave it behind you. Gratitude is rewarded with abundance. Recognize how good your life is now to see how much better it can get. Emphasizing lack rather than blessings creates imbalances in the energetic flow. Obsessive needs for control reveal deeper inner turmoil. Stagnation reminds that you can’t force things against the Universe’s will. Karma comes for all. Remember the themes of judgment & justice for this Libra season. Not being able to maintain things you want reveals that you may not believe that you deserve these luxuries. You’re worthy of your wildest dreams. The Universe can’t deliver them if you sabotage.

Let all that no longer fits into this era fall away. Maintaining antiquated beliefs/practices out of ‘respect’ for tradition fails to see that ancestors don’t want you to struggle just for the sake of it. Consider that the path of least resistance allows greater freedom to pour back into the work that feeds your soul. Life is dynamic. We must change along with it or get left behind. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing superficial experiences that leave your soul aching for more. Alignment is worth it, even if it takes time.

What can you learn from others? Open yourself up to the spiritual & practical knowledge around you by conversing with those you trust & meet in the world. Every interaction holds some message to help guide you through past, present, or future circumstances. Spiritual teachers are available if you allow yourself to be guided & see them. Don’t underestimate the power of your own intuition & remember that this is the perfect time to engage in psychic strengthening.

Be intentional with your gratitude & generosity. Consciously providing others with gifts of time, energy, money, & guidance reaps rewards back. Share your bounty with those around you & in need to keep the balance of power aligned with the greater good. Giving freely demonstrates an understanding of (& faith in) the Universal flow which ensures that what’s given with love comes back tenfold.

Being a good person is one of the highest forms of wealth. What will you reap this harvest season based on seeds sowed during the summer? What did Cancer teach you about nurture & self care? How have your relationships & home dynamics shifted since then? What did Leo impart on you about confidence & power? How have you used this wisdom to manifest more efficiently? What did Virgo show you about the difference that can be made by paying attention to the details? How has consistency paid off for you in this month?

You’re the architect of your life, take control.

Love always, Sage
