You Survived What Most People Couldn't | Oct 19th – 25th


Hey there Reader,

Venus retrogrades back into Libra on the 25th, and Venus goes direct on the 13th and 14th of November, so this week is about checking what you value before you rush anything. Here is everything going on from October 19th to 25th.

COLLECTIVE MESSAGE

You have carried a long run of big events and real losses, more than most people you know, and you keep waiting for the catch. This reads like the theme of your life so far, and it turns toward a blessing: the hardest stretch looks like it is ending, and a better chapter is on the way.

Here is the part that surprises people. The rules you have been trying to follow may not apply to you right now. Plenty of advice has good intentions and still wrecks a situation, and love is the easy example. The blessing comes from breaking them.

You Survived What Most People Couldn't

If you think something is too good to be true, this one is for you.

A Massive Reward Is Coming Your Way

You are about to be rewarded for the good choices you've made.

"You made it through the part most people never see, and the rest does not need a rulebook."

All 12 Signs - Week Of October 19th - 25th:

​PISCES Something huge is coming your way​

You are on fertile ground right now, and whatever you are trying to grow deserves your investment. This is one of the better readings you have had in a while, with an Ace of Pentacles opportunity and strong love cards in the Ace, Two and Six of Cups. Venus retrograde is in Scorpio now and goes back into Libra on the 25th, so keep checking that your work matches your values.

​SCORPIO It's finally happening, and the nightmare is ending​

Build something that is made to last. The horseshoe and the house point to some permanent luck, and the Page of Pentacles says a new beginning works best on a solid foundation. It could be a project, a business, or a relationship. All three water signs got the Two of Pentacles, so expect a hard work week that pays off.

​CANCER You're about to get something you've always wanted​

This feels like a very long cycle ending for you. The Nine of Swords is the Groundhog Day card, and with the Hermit and the Ten of Cups behind it, the point is getting out of the nightmare and into fortune after difficulty. It could be something you have always wanted or been hoping for. Lean on your community, let people help, and trust your intuition.

​CAPRICORN Something you've wished for is here​

Trust what you are seeing. The Ace of Swords says you have laser focus right now, so cut straight to the point and stop dancing around things. With Uranus in Gemini, exploring other perspectives on everything will make you more well rounded, and it should help with business and work. It is a very intuitive week, so go with your instincts.

​VIRGO Something you've worked toward is about to explode​

Keep being independent, because it is working for you. The Six of Swords moves you toward calmer shores, and Venus retrograde in Scorpio is great for smoothing things out and getting to the bottom of what you value. If you are in a relationship, it can mean a deeper connection. The Seven of Pentacles asks if the juice is worth the squeeze, so put your time where it counts.

​TAURUS I can barely believe what's about to happen for you​

Go exploring. The Knight of Wands wants adventures, new places, and things you have never done, and the less you try to control the outcome, the better. The Ace of Cups says follow your heart and do more of what fills it. The Seven of Cups says new experiences give you more options. This is a good week to think against the grain.

​AQUARIUS A completely different life is waiting for you​

Clarity is the word. The Death card and the World show a lot of change, and the Sun at the end says something is becoming clear to you, likely about something you are working on. The Lucky Sixpence and the Scales point to some luck and balance. Venus goes back into Libra on the 25th, so use this week to decide what really brings value to your life.

​LIBRA Three aces say something big is about to happen​

Build on a solid foundation. The Pebble and the Serpent say simplicity and healing, and with Venus retrograde in Scorpio, getting to the bottom of what you value is what makes you successful. You have three aces, the Nine of Cups, and the Wheel of Fortune, which points to wish fulfillment and a lucky week. Act as if you are already fulfilled. Venus goes back into your sign on the 25th.

​GEMINI One decision changes your entire future​

Take your ideas out into the world, because you need the feedback. The Three of Wands is expansion, and with Uranus in your sign you have to test and try a lot of things before they work. There is love here too, with a person showing up. Venus retrograde is not a reason to avoid dating. Take your time, do not rush, and make sure it lines up with your values.

​SAGITTARIUS You're destined for something big​

Something is trying to get your attention, especially toward the end of the week. The Ace of Pentacles is a big opportunity, and the money cards say your finances can improve. The Five of Pentacles has an easy fix: focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. There is love here too, with the Two of Cups, so do not stay closed off during Venus retrograde.

​LEO Your future is nothing like you think​

Chill out a little. You may be getting too far ahead of something and worrying about obstacles that never show up. The Nine of Wands says you are not giving up, and you may be giving something one last shot, maybe around money or love. Open up to more than one way to solve a problem, and remember the Ten of Pentacles at the end says it works out.

​ARIES Someone very special is coming into your life​

Someone effortless is coming in, with no pressure and a healthy take it or leave it attitude. Venus retrograde is not a reason to avoid dating, but ask yourself whether you really enjoy this person and whether they match your values. Venus goes back into Libra on the 25th. With Saturn in your sign, a better process is the move, like a spider weaving a web, patient and built for the long term.

Pick the one thing you are willing to build slowly this week, and put a little into it every day.
