Scorpio season is upon us, revealing all the secrets everyone’s been keeping and their deepest desires.
Simultaneously, Mercury goes into a pesky retrograde, messing up communication, travel, and tech.
It Feels like this is the week of the year for things to be said, wires to be crossed, faux pas to be made, and things that were meant to stay under wraps to unravel.
Could be very interesting. Could be super spicy! Let’s see what the tarot cards advise you to do through this communication maelstrom…

Aries
March 21 to April 20

Meaning: Keep your head down this week, Aries, and focus on the tasks in hand. Work hard, keep your nose clean, work on things which are long-term, robust and building up to a bigger outcome.
Steady progress. Diligent attentions. Focus and steadfastness win the day. What you put in, you will get back too. This is a quid pro quo. While everyone else is losing their heads, keep yours, and win the long game!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Death
Meaning: You might find out that something has ended this week, and it was probably a long time coming, so you’re not too sad (though have a moment, sure).
The interesting thing is that this departure leaves space for something new, and now you can focus on what that might be, this is actually an exciting development, allowing you to overhaul an area you’ve long known was outgrown, outdated, and out the door already. Evolve.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Nine of Wands
Meaning: Mercury retrogrades don’t much phase you as Mercury is your ruler, and you’re so busy and chaotic your whole pretty much life feels like a retrograde often enough. So, sail through. Don’t fear the planets!
This card is a reassurance that whatever is going on around you this week, you can handle it, and maybe even come out of it better off than before, which is classic Gemini behaviour. Show them how chaos is handled.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Five of Wands
Meaning: Buckle up for some flak and friction, but don’t bow to it or worry about it because it will serve as fuel and as a signal as to where you need adjustments. Pay attention, look beyond the noise, try to figure out their POV and what emotions are really driving them right now.
You love analysing people, and this week will bring you ample opportunity to see them under pressure… and therefore without their ‘mask’. Pay attention. Choose how you react. Store the intel.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Seven of Coins
Meaning: Let this Mercury retrograde sweep through your realm and take with it all that has run its course and no longer serves you. Don’t cling on, fight back, try to persuade or justify… let folk, roles, activities, and obligations shuffle around in their own way, for their own reasons.
You will come out of it with a cleaner slate and a lighter load. Good. It does you a big favour. If you can identify the things you already know are past their best, even better.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Hermit
Meaning: The Hermit is your card in the tarot deck and Mercury is your ruling planet too, so it feels like, of the whole zodiac, you are the lucky one who will come out of this week well up!
Events will conspire, in weird and wonderful ways, to bring you openings, opportunities, promotions, invitations, new alliances, useful info, and top class gossip. Sounds like bliss. Just don’t get drawn in to things too deeply; keep your own counsel and enjoy the drama. You are going to benefit from all this chaos.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Six of Cups
Meaning: Scorpio season often makes people remember the things, places and people they truly miss and wish they still had a connection to. You are on someone’s mind, Libra.
Expect a blast from the past to show their face this week, and don’t be too quick to dismiss it, perhaps things can be different this time around. If you missed them too, then at least have a conversation and let your instincts look it all over.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Ten of Wands
Meaning: Your season is like a boost of your super powers but as it begins, start slowly. Ease into this week carefully, don’t overdo it, don’t commit to everything that comes your way, carve out deep rest and relaxation time, get time and space away from others just for you.
Then, with a clear head and a rested mind, you can start to discern what your birthday season should be all about. The best of the best. Figure out what that means to you.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Ten of Cups
Meaning: Mercury retrograde and Scorpio season conspire to impact your love life, in a good way! This is a week to fall (deeper) in love, flirt outrageously, make a grand gesture or major commitment, tell them how you really feel, live in a romantic, whimsical way, and generally follow your heart.
Hover close to family and treasured friends too, celebrate your inner circle and the good folk you share your happy life with. You are wealthy with good people.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Strength
Meaning: Whatever the chaos of Mercury retrograde or intensity of Scorpio season, you’re built to not only handle it, but turn it all to your advantage too. Sometimes you like to see a little dust up because it stirs the pot, refreshes the mix, reveals what was lying underneath for too long… and you’re ready to observe, assess, and respond accordingly.
You are one the strongest signs, you have great determination and fortitude and can turn anything into an opportunity. Use those skills this week.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Six of Swords
Meaning: A departure will come into view this week, a welcome one. Maybe other folk are surprised, maybe it was a poorly kept secret, or maybe you just saw this coming miles off because you’re shrewd to people’s real feelings and motivations. Let this flow, wish them well, celebrate the closure. And if it’s YOU who is moving on, then toast everyone involved and be gracious. Your horizons are expanding- every new beginning starts with some kind of ending, and now this is out of the way.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Page of Wands
Meaning: Stay light on your feet this week, Pisces, and avoid being drawn under by anyone’s secrets, dark moods, or intensity. You can show compassion without having to absorb their whole aura and vibe. Skip by the stuff that’s not for you, and keep your playful, upbeat, optimistic hat on!
There’s a lot of fun for you this week, so gravitate to people who are playful and looking for adventure, counter the retrograde this way. Be young and silly. Play and experiment. Don’t take anything too seriously.
