Scorpio season is here this week! And let's explore the energies around that, but before doing that, let's go over the transits a little in detail and then I will get to the week ahead tarot reading.

On October 21st, Mercury in Scorpio makes a trine to Saturn in Pisces. You may find that your communication and thought processes are deeply insightful and introspective.

The trine can lend your words a sense of structure, discipline, and emotional maturity.

You may feel drawn to delve into complex topics or have meaningful, soul-searching conversations.

On October 22nd, the Sun in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn. This can create some tension and power struggles in your life.

You may feel an internal conflict between your desire for harmony and diplomacy and the intense energies that Pluto is stirring up.

It's important to approach any confrontations or changes with patience, self-awareness, and a willingness to let go of control.

If you don't, expect a heated confrontation that gets out of control, and no one wants that except for those who are looking for a fight.

On the same day, the Sun enters Scorpio, a deep and introspective sign. Hence, Scorpio season is officially here.

This marks a time of increased focus on your emotional landscape, personal power, and the deeper layers of your psyche.

You may be drawn to explore your shadow side, delve into mysteries, and uncover hidden truths.

This is a time to trust your intuition and not fight any chance for transformation if one presents itself.

On October 24th, Mars in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus. Therefore, you may feel a surge of energy and a desire for change.

This can inspire you to take action that combines your emotional needs with a spirit of innovation and progress.

You may feel restless about breaking free from routine and embracing new, exciting possibilities.

Therefore, breaking free from your comfort zone may be less scary, even if that means taking baby steps, as my Taurus Moon can only handle that.

Those are the major astrological transits. Now let's go over the week ahead reading:

1. Your week as a whole - The Fool

2. Something unexpected that will arise - Three of Cups

3. How to stay grounded and balanced - Knight of Wands

4. Important emotion that you will feel this week - Devil

5. Something that will inspire you - Death

6. How your spirit guides speak to you this week - Justice

7. How to best support yourself this week - Six of Swords

Card One - The Fool

The Fool represents your week as a whole. Therefore, that means a spirit of newness, wonder, and spontaneity exists.

You're being called to approach life with a carefree, adventurous attitude, willing to take risks and welcome the unknown. That seems to go hand in hand with the Scorpio season.

Keep an open mind and trust the journey, even if it takes unexpected turns. This is a time to let go of inhibitions and approach each day with a childlike sense of possibility.

If there is something interesting you have wanted to try but have felt apprehensive about doing so before, this is the week to do it.

Card Two - Three of Cups

Something unexpected and celebratory awaits as the Three of Cups shows up for this placement.

Perhaps there will be a reunion with friends, a surprise gathering, or an opportunity to connect with your community meaningfully.

This is a week to prioritize joy, laughter, and nourishment from shared experiences and emotional support. Allow yourself to fully participate in the fun.

Even if it means you will have a fun Zoom meeting with some online friends if that is what you have.

Card Three - Knight of Wands

Channel the Knight of Wands' passionate, energetic spirit to stay grounded and balanced amid the week's spontaneity.

This means taking decisive action, tapping into your natural enthusiasm, and being willing to explore new directions.

However, temper this fiery energy with focus and direction—don't let impulsivity take over, as you will regret it.

Instead, harness your adventurous spirit in productive ways that align with your goals.

Card Four - The Devil

A powerful, intense emotion is likely to arise this week, perhaps related to addiction, obsession, or codependency since the Devil is in this position.

Rather than suppressing these feelings as that is so tempting and easy to do, face them head-on. Easier said than done but that is the message here.

Examine where you may be giving away your personal power or getting trapped in unhealthy patterns.

This is an opportunity to break free from limitations and focus on being who you are, your authentic self.

Card Five - Death

Something will inspire you this week that catalyzes transformation and rebirth because Death holds this position.

That is fitting, considering it is the start of Scorpio season, the sign associated with Death.

It may come as a significant ending, loss, or release that clears the way for new beginnings.

But it is not a case where you did not see this coming (because the Tower was not in this spread).

You sensed it for a while, but this is when it will likely happen.

Approach this process with an open heart and a willingness to let go of what no longer serves you.

This can be a profound, even spiritual, experience that paves the way for your next chapter.

Card Six - Justice

As Justice holds this position, your spirit guides encourage you to find balance, fairness, and clarity this week.

Trust your inner sense of right and wrong, and strive to make decisions that align with your principles.

Your greatest allies will be impartiality, integrity, and a commitment to the truth.

Tune into the universal laws of cause and effect, and let justice and divine order guide your path. In other words, do what you know is right and feel is right for you.

Card Seven - Six of Swords

To best support yourself this week, seek refuge, rest, and change scenery as the Six of Swords comes up.

This may involve physically or mentally "crossing the waters" to a calmer, more soothing environment.

Permit yourself to step back from stressful situations, process your emotions, and find the quiet introspection you need to recharge.

You can get through this transitional period more easily with patience and a forward-looking perspective.

This week ushers in a sense of newness, wonder, and spontaneity—a chance to approach life with a carefree, adventurous spirit.

The Fool card suggests you're being called to take risks and embrace the unknown, keeping an open mind as the journey takes unexpected turns.

Something celebratory and joyful is on the horizon, likely involving connections with friends or the community.

The Three of Cups indicates opportunities to participate in gatherings, collaborations, and shared experiences that nourish your emotional well-being.

To stay grounded amidst the week's spontaneity, channel the Knight of Wands' passionate, energetic spirit.

Take decisive action, tap into your natural enthusiasm, and explore new directions - but balance this fiery energy with focus and direction.

Powerful, intense emotions may also arise, perhaps related to addiction, obsession, or codependency.

The Devil card urges you to face these feelings head-on, breaking free from limitations to embrace your authentic, liberated self.

This process may be inspired by an ending or significant transformation, signified by the Death card.

Your spirit guides encourage balance, fairness, and clarity, with Justice guiding you to make decisions aligned with your principles. As the Six of Swords indicates, to best support yourself, seek refuge, rest, and a change of scenery.

This week offers opportunities for newness, joy, and profound personal growth - if you approach it with an open, adventurous, yet grounded mindset.
