Stepping Into a New Season : October 19' Tarotscope

by Kirsten Renee

Queen of Swords + Six of Swords (Reversed) + Judgment + The Star

Move yourself around sweet friend, it’s time to shed your skin and let your soul breathe. It hits you hard when you have the realization that you’re transitioning. It’s heavy, often feels like your skull is being crushed at a rapid speed. Which sounds graphic, but that’s what transitioning/ascending is … it’s graphic. During this time, you need to lean heavily on your spirit guides and ancestors! Trust that they are leading you through this with precision and love. At this rate, you’re doing yourself a disservice by not falling into this season fully. That RESENTMENT and RESISTANCE that you’re projecting on to yourself is just your unconfirmed fears. The time to stop running is now, we’ve got Mercury Retrograde happening in the sign of Scorpio. You want to navigate it? Then start being honest with yourself about everything! Once you master that skill, be prepared to be exposed to a whole new level of vulnerability.

The Queen of Swords is asking you to be strong and firm in your opinions, but make sure that you’ve got the facts. As we sit in the sweet center of Mercury’s Shadow Period (Mercury Rx starts on Halloween!) a lot of fog has arrived with this energy. Don’t fret though, where there is mental/emotional fog there is also space to address what creeps up with it. Let your feelings flow as best you can, spend some time meditating and sitting with your ancestors and other spiritual council.

Now is the time for us to begin the journey of putting the lessons into work. Where we sat still last year during Scorpio season, this year we are turning those lessons into ACTION! What’s the point of doing heavy emotional work if you’re not going to apply what you’ve experienced to your journey. Now is not the time to hide your brilliance, you’re most certainly capable of navigating everything on your pathway.

The Six of Swords Reversed is asking you to sit the fuck down and actually make a plan. If you’re just moving and not knowing where you’re headed, sit down. With Saturn (the planet of movement) visiting Capricorn, the lesson here is practicality and goal setting. Don’t move faster than what The Divine has required for you, because moving to fast could be catastrophic for your journey. I say that to say, you need to be smart in making your moves. Whether that be financially, romantically or if you’re at the grocery store. Be mindful of what you put into your body and where you place your body during this time. If you’re also looking into changing your eating habits, spiritual practice, wardrobe,etc… Do it!

Use this energy leading up to Mercury RX and during it to elevate yourself! Now, don’t go spending a bunch of money on fad diets, expensive clothing and things. Use your resources wisely, learn to coupon, stop online shopping, and start SAVING your coin’s! Do a home makeover; go through your closets and get rid of old clothes, empty out your pantry and cleaning cabinet’s, clean your car, do your laundry, MAKE SPACE! Make space for all the things that you want to welcome into your life during this communicative blackout, that way when Mercury stations direct, your blessings will have somewhere to go.

Justice is a reminder that all that attacks you will fail and by fail, I mean will reap what it sows. Now that same thing goes for you, if you’ve been living a life that is less than desirable expect The Universe to expose you too boo. If you’re gearing up for a new business venture make sure ALL of the small details are given attention. It’s cool and all to see the big picture and your desired outcome of your wants. However, right now you’re being asked to make a list (and check it twice!) to go along with those big ideas of yours. You will be successful, but only if you make choices that assist your blessings and not block them.

Don’t worry though, your intuition is exactly the tool to use in order to get a feel for what you need now. Trust in your own mystic abilities friend, you’re not as hard-up as you think you are and if you are actually in that space. Do yourself a favor and call on your guides to show signs that they are there and to help guide you during a difficult time. The thing with Justice is that it calls for balance and truth, speak yours now. Find your balance between spirit and you, be mindful that this practice takes time and should be something that you go into with that understanding. You are being called to be truthful with who you are at this exact time.

The Star is reminding you that you are divinely loved and cared for! Those spiritual downloads that you have been getting (angel numbers, whispers in the wind, intuitive thoughts,etc) are messages from your angels. There are certain messages that humans can’t always deliver for us, that’s why knowing HOW your ancestors and angels communicate is key! Do they use dream communication or nature? Do they speak directly to you or through those close to you? Are they popping up in physical form? The answers to those questions can only be answered by you and your willingness to listen and accept. Trust that they have your best interest at heart (they do!) and that you have theirs as well. Remember they work for you as long as you return that love. Do not abuse the power that they bless you with nor take it for granted, because just like they gave it… They will certainly take it and most times it won’t go quietly. Honor your guides, yourself and The Divine, together as one.

I want to end this with a prayer for you, for me and our collective community.

You may recite this prayer as you read it and as many times after if you resonate with it.

“I call upon the divine, my spirit guides, guardian angels, and ancestors (call them out by name if you know them!).

“I invite you into this space and ask for you to protect and bless me during this Mercury Retrograde. I ask for your divine guidance, clarity, cleverness and focus during this phase. No matter what trials come my way, may the lessons they bring teach me what it is that I need to know now. I am grounded in the Earth with my truth, I am carried by the Water to where I am meant to be, My path is cleared of all mental and energetic fogs by Air and My pathway is lit ablaze by the light of Fire.

I walk by faith, not by sight. I trust the divine plan and my intuition to guide me.

so it is and so it shall be, what’s meant for me is for me

blessed be. “
