SCORPIO :: SCORPIO RISING
Knight of Crystals, Reversed

Trust the timing of your life, sweet Scorpio. This is the best birthday gift you could give to yourself. The pace at which you are moving and evolving is perfect, exactly correct for where you are in this moment. Trust it, with absolutely no judgements, no comparisons, no explanations and no apologies. If you are feeling uncomfortable with the way that things are flowing for you, it’s time to look at what is underneath the present moment.

What are your expectations of your life, versus the reality? What does it mean to embody the belief that you are taking care of more spectacularly than you could ever imagine? Are you used to pushing things into fruition, hustling through your days? What if life could be easier than you believed it could be? These are all important inquiries to drop into during the month of November. Your whole sign has been going through a deep and powerful upgrade. There is no more room for lack of belief in yourself, no more room for pushing against the flow of your soul. Knight of Pentacles is here to help shift any old, outdated beliefs around trusting the timing of your life—the reversal, even more so. Any Knight in the Tarot represents movement and action.

Each Knight moves at a different pace, brings a different kind of medicine for our highest growth. Knight of Pentacles is slow, steady, aiming at the target and not letting go of the arrow until everything is fully lined up. When we receive this card reversed, we are fighting against the timing, whether overtly or subtly. If you want things to start moving, start trusting, and hang out in this moment. If you can surrender to what is, practicing trust and willingness, life will open up so much more for you.

SAGITTARIUS :: SAGITTARIUS RISING
Page of Crystals, Reversed

November is a time to slow down a little, Sagittarius. You might not want to, but that’s perfectly fine—there’s just some more beautiful work to do around surrendering. Page of Pentacles reversed can often arise when we feel like we don’t know what the hell we are doing, or what direction we are pointed in our lives. It is a feeling, not necessarily a fact, so we have to take the time to inquire around that with this reversed Page.

This card can arise when we are running around without taking the time to drop in and become still—or, it may arise during very important time of transition, where those rudderless feelings are totally appropriate. Either way, slowing down, breathing, and taking space are all deeply nourishing acts of love this month. There is much to learn, understand and see, we just need to carve out a little time to sink into those deeper questions. If you can give yourself that gift in November, Sagittarius, you will feel like a totally different person on the other side of it.

Page of Pentacles is the deep thinker, a being that asks the kind of questions that get right to the heart of the matter, doing so with total innocence and curiosity. Why are we here? What’s our purpose? What do we need to learn about ourselves? Receiving Page of Pentacles in a reading is a chance to go on a deep journey of the self, to discover who we *truly* are. You are on this journey as a whole sign, Sagittarius, but you might be getting a little sidelined on your way to ask those questions. There might be a little hesitation, a little resistance, or you might be too busy. Whatever it is, it’s an easy fix. Start with gently slowing down, and the rest of what you need will follow.

CAPRICORN :: CAPRICORN RISING
Queen of Cups

How deeply can you let yourself flow, Capricorn? How subterranean can you allow yourself to be? Queen of Cups is calling, beckoning you to the garden of your heart, to the ocean of your being, to the center of your intuition. Queen of Cups is a double water energy. She is profoundly psychic, profoundly deep, and wholly receptive. She listens with every ounce of her being, living on a kind of island of her own making. This is the month to drop in deeply with your spiritual practices, to tune in with your higher self, to remember the deeper reasons for your incarnation here.

It might also be a beautiful time to go deeper with your guides, and your council, if that is a part of your life practice. When Queen of Cups shows up, she wants us to embody her. How can you step into a kind of life flow like this? If you can slow down enough to let yourself wade in the water, rather than doing Olympic laps around the pool, there will be beautiful messages from the unseen this month. It’s a subtle shift. Gentle, instead of forceful, easy, as opposed to challenging. It might feel funky at first, but you’ll get the hang of it.

There might be deep things to discover in this card, or it might just mean that you are being called to take a break, to shift into a more receptive flow of your life. Whatever the Queen of Cups presents to you, I encourage you to make room in your life for it. The first step is not over scheduling yourself. The second step is leaving a blank space for journeying where your plans and activities might be. Slow down—there is much to gain this month by doing so.

AQUARIUS :: AQUARIUS RISING
Knight of Swords

You are in the energy of Knight of Swords this month, Aquarius. Your mission with this powerful archetype is clear, potent and singular: do, don’t think. Do. Don’t think. So simple, right? If you can make it your mantra, this month will be profoundly fruitful for you. It will open your eyes as to what you are capable of achieving. Anytime we are in a Knight energy, we want to think about the way we move through the world. How are we walking through our life? Knight of Swords is a double air energy. This being is moving like the wind, on a powerful mission! You are being invited to embody this frequency in November, Aquarius.

When Knight of Swords shows up, he’s bringing a kind of magic to our life. That magic is here to show us that we are capable of doing things we never imagined we could do—in a wonderful way. That we are able to move and accomplish things we never imagined we could do, all without becoming exhausted, all without burning out. It’s a massive yes to whatever arises, and then we just do it, instead of bemoaning how hard and intense it’s going to be.

We don’t spend time thinking about it. The more we think, the more we may talk ourselves out of what life wants to drop it to us. Knight of Swords brings only amazing things, so consider being open to new opportunities, new assignments, and new learning experiences. Consider that you are able to go further, and to do more than you believe you can. The more you practice presence, just being with the flow and the pace of your life, the more you will astound yourself. It’s a juicy month, so hop on your horse and fly with it!

PISECS :: PISCES RISING
Five of Wands

November is one of those months, Pisces, with a very important, and very subtle invitation for your highest good: don’t commit to anything until you’re ready. Seems easy enough, but that’s not always the case when we are in a Five energy. Fives are the contraction cards of the Tarot. They represent potent, and often uncomfortable opportunities for our growth. We want to take care to not make decisions from contraction in this life.

When we contract, it is hard to see the big picture. We might be inundated by fear, anger, or desperation. Those energies do have carrying power, but not for long. Usually, after a giant burst of movement in a contraction, we can find ourselves more twisted than ever, with a side of regrets and an empty gas tank. You have this wonderful opportunity to allow November to be a time of deep restructuring, to allow yourself to process and release some big emotions. While you are in this month, loves, your ego may really want to be moving and grooving. The more you move, take action, make decisions from a Five place, the harder it will be down the road.

Five of Wands is like five different pieces of music all playing at full blast at the same time. It can feel very combustive, and is ultimately a powerful creation energy. It can charge us up to the point where we want to run with it, but how can we know which voice is the truth? If you can let the volume come down, and the dust settle, everything will be clear as to your next step. Really commit to a practice of pausing in November. Let this month pass, let it do it’s work on you, and allow the new horizons you are seeking to unfold organically.

ARIES :: ARIES RISING
Ten of Pentacles

It doesn’t get much better than Ten of Pentacles, Aries. Once again, this is your month. You’ve been on a beautiful streak of expansion as of late, and this energy is no exception. November is all about harvesting for you. You’ve planted some absolutely beautiful seeds, and you’ve worked your ass off tending to them, caring for them, nurturing and nourishing them. Now, they are ripe and ready to be shared with the world. When we share our gifts in Ten of Pentacles energy, it’s like giving birth. The whole fabric of the Earth’s frequency is changed and altered by the presence of this new, little being. It is the same idea with the creative fruits that we share in this card. It is truly a generous harvest.

November is the month to bring your baby out into the world. It is a time of creative expression, to share your gifts in a whole new way. It is a time of major abundance, major blessings, and beautiful exchange. Pentacles are about living spiritually in a material world, creating soul centered gifts with our hard work that can serve the whole planet. The Ten is the completion of a cycle, and the presence of good fortune that comes after a period of deep laboring.

Again—November is your month! Your job, Aries, will be to surround yourself with the team you need to make this happen. When we give birth, it is best to have support all around us, caring for us and holding space. What do you need to feel supported in bringing your gifts forward? Make sure you have your “doulas” at the ready. It is a shining, beautiful time for you, Aries—enjoy every single moment.

TAURUS :: TAURUS RISING
Page of Wands

November is really presenting some fresh and lovely energy to you this month, Taurus. Page of Wands is about movement, about the flow of growth and change, taking us from one cycle to the next. It represents a time when we are genuinely ready to walk forward into something new, leaving behind the old cycles of karma from the past. This is so wonderful and important for you, loves. There have many shifts and changes for your sign as of late, but none that have manifested themselves as being totally solid and complete. You’ll take a step, encounter various detours or lessons along the way, then the same thing will happen at the next step. This has been annoying, perhaps, but totally in alignment.

Page of Wands is all about the callibration between our passionate desires and divine timing. It’s a little marriage between surrender, patience, and the flow of our movement, how we are walking through the world. The good news is that the delays have been lifted, and it’s all green lights from here. November is the month where this new path begin to fully gel. Watch as things begin to fall into place where they weren’t before; how housing, money, press, opportunities, and desires begin to manifest themselves for you.

This is change and movement at the root level, and you are ready. In order to step forward with Page of Wands, we have to be completely finished with whatever we are learning in the here and now. It might be something so subtle and small, but if it’s important enough to our growth, this card will delay us until the timing is perfect. Page of Wands learns how to pause, how to take a breath before they leap forward. You’ve paused beautifully, Taurus—now it’s finally time to leap.

GEMINI :: GEMINI RISING
Three of Wands

November is a beautiful month for you, Gemini. You are out of the smoke and rubble of The Tower, finally moving into some expansion! Three of Wands is just about as good as it gets, and it promises to be especially sweet for your sign. This cycle is all about new ideas, new creative ventures, new connections, new expansions. Three of Wands is about the exchange of learning and teaching, gaining knowledge while sharing what we’ve learned with new, eager ears.

It is a time of new horizons, a time when our hunger for adventure might get a little keener, our desire for change might get a little brighter. It doesn’t come from a sad, bored or low place—it’s all beautiful. We love where we are, and we want to add something new in. For you, Gemini, this couldn’t be a better energy for your spirit. What can you say yes to in November and beyond? Where are you ready to expand? What new things can you try? What do you feel excited about, excited to learn and to share? All beautiful reflections for the month ahead.

The fact that you have been in The Tower twice in the last six months is very important. It has been a time of deep clearing for you. Major life changes, major opportunities for recentering. Whatever hasn’t been serving you has become abundantly clear, and for the most part, you’ve rolled with the invitations. Now, you have a clean slate to work with. The skies are parting, and the energy is beginning to shift. The world is really your oyster. What are you ready to call into your life that you weren’t before? Whatever it is, take the first step toward it this month with open arms.

CANCER :: CANCER RISING
Four of Wands

Where can you play more, Cancer? This is the million dollar question, and a particularly important one for the month of November. Have you been “all work” lately? If so, you might be beginning to feel it—even if you aren’t sharing that with anyone. Pay attention to those signs. Whether it’s impatience, lack of attention span, anger and frustration, or even burn out, it’s all information, all points on your compass, leading to play. You’ll have to consider what play looks like for you. Is it time away with your friends? A solo venture? A tricked out vacation, or just a weekend away? Your heart will hold the answer. You job is to take action on what you hear.

Four of Wands is a signal from the Universe to take a joyful break from the grind of our lives. In the Wands suit, we work hard—we have to make sure we play as hard as we work. Rest and play are crucial elements in keeping up with the pace of our passions. Four of Wands can often arise during a very powerful moment in our lives. It has the potential to really change the tone of our life from an energetic perspective, making room for a lot more ease and grace to drop in.

It will also offer you the chance to reflect, to refill your cup. Whether it’s lots of career related work, or even internal work, take some time this month to let your nervous system recenter. If you are working through something emotionally, there has to be breathing room, especially now. Create room for joy and play, loves, even if it makes you uncomfortable to do so. The discomfort will pass, leaving you brighter and fuller than you were before.

LEO :: LEO RISING
Eight of Cups

What is it time to walk away from, Leo? What have you known in your heart of hearts that you are finally ready to see? What hasn’t been serving you as of late—perhaps for a long time? Eight of Cups heralds a deep departure from something we’ve held dear, whether it be a job, a relationship, a pattern, a business, a dream, a collaboration, or something in between. Whatever it is, it is something we put our heart and soul into.

It’s something we worked for, we bled for, we ached for, and now, inexplicably, we are ready to walk away, ready to transition into the next adventure, the next journey. This is your time, sweet Leo. November is the month to take that first step. If you’re in this card, you’ll know where this applies in your life; there are few surprises with Eight of Cups. The deepest work to do around this card is to trust. Trust that you are incapable of making a mistake. Even if you stumble, there will surely be lessons to learn. Trust that whatever is waiting for you on the other side is so much better, brighter, sweeter and more in alignment for the person you are now. We can only taste the fruits of that particular tree if we are willing to boldly step beyond our comfort zone.

Trust that, regardless of what waits for you on the horizon, saying our “no” is worth the price of admission alone. Showing the Universe what we are ready to bow away with our actions and words is often one of the most powerfully transformative actions we can take in this life. Even if it’s scary, trust it. Goodness and new beginnings are awaiting you on the other side.

VIRGO :: VIRGO RISING
Eight of Crystals

Have you had a special idea, project, or goal on your heart as of late, Virgo? If so, November is the month to sink your teeth into the creation of it, fully committing to the birth process. There is something that wants to come through you at this time. It might be a book, an artistic offering, or a project. Whatever it is, it has the potential to change your life—for real. All you need to do is say yes.

You might not have things fully mapped out, you might not feel fully ready, and you might not be sure of what you’re doing, but it’s cool! That’s all totally fine to feel. If you’re willing, you can fully learn that that you can not feel ready and do it anyway. If you are willing to commit to the invitation to drop into whatever it is that you are birthing (and I know you can do that, Virgo!), November will act as a powerful portal to your work and process. It might mean that you are not as available for social activities, or have less bandwidth for other things this month, but that is often what Eight of Crystals, or Pentacles asks of us.

Any eight in the Tarot is a kind of transformation, one that is sparked through our willingness to do things differently, to make a bolder choice. Eight of Pentacles is a focused energy, one that asks that we work hard and create from a place of repetition—showing up again and again, committed and willing. We move from apprentice to master in this energy, gaining experience and wisdom along the way. The potential is huge. You can stall for the elusive perfect time, or you can leap in and create. The choice is yours—choose wisely.

LIBRA :: LIBRA RISING
The Chariot

November is your month, sweet Libra. The Chariot is here, heralding the blessings and opportunities to come for your entire sign. The Chariot is considered to be the only true omen of goodness in the Tarot. It is a strong sign that the tides of life are changing, and that fortune is beginning to move in our favor. The energy of The Chariot is the payoff for tremendously hard work, bringing us into oneness with some kind of destined victory.

You can absolutely expect some amazing expansions in November, internal and external. The work that The Chariot will ask of you this month, Libra, will be to cultivate a stronger sense of inner equilibrium, and to say yes to any opportunity that brings you up and out of your comfort zone. With your commitment to these two concepts, you will create the strongest possible container for all of this Chariot-level goodness to bloom in. Your “yes” around these areas will hold the key to touching in with all that The Chariot has to offer.

The equilibrium is an important ingredient in the recipe for this upcoming expansion. November is the time to take a strong inventory around your inner and outer balance. Where can you ask for more help? What, if anything, needs to be gently adjusted before you’re able to move forward? If we have a flat tire, we will not be able to drive two miles, much less support a long drive. Stepping out of our comfort zone is also key with this energy—it is ruled by Cancer, after all. We have to leave our shells, foregoing protective outer layers, to step into what we desire, what we long to cultivate for ourselves. It is truly your month, loves. Embrace it fully.

JOIN OUR NEW YEAR, NU YOU RETREAT + HAVE THE BEST NEW YEAR’S EVER

Posted on by Ruby Warrington

Join Numinous founder Ruby Warrington and friends for our New Year, Nu You retreat—literally the most high-vibe way to ring in the new year, ever!

New Year Nu You retreat The Numinous Kripalu 2018

Question: what’s the most high-vibe way you can think of to ring in new year?

Here’s my answer. I want to welcome this mega cosmic refresh with my arms and heart open wide. I want to make the transition from one year to the next in communion with people I trust with all my body and soul. I want there to be ritual, and ceremony, and for my intention setting to be … intentional.

I want to get quiet, so I can hear my own heart speak. I want to draw my scattered energy close. To fully recharge. I want to learn new things that ignite my inner wisdom. And I also want for there to be big hugs and belly laughs. Delicious food. Cozy walks. I want to be close to nature; all the better for breathing in the brand new 2018 air, and feeling the energetic shift deep in my bones.

Which is what I got to create when the lovely people at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health asked me to host a Numinous takeover the first week of 2018. YES, I said, in a hot heartbeat. And lo, our first ever New Year, Nu You retreat was born! (Read on for the full story, or skip to the end of the post if it’s already a YES from you too, and you just wanna read the line-up!)

Thank you, Numiverse. Because the past few new years have not been the best for me.

I’d always had December 31 pegged as party time. Food and booze with friends. Auld Lang Syne and sloppy kisses as the clock strikes midnight. Going through the motions with all the old traditions (which never really felt like mine). A foggy start the morning after, scrawling a list of half-baked “resolutions” over eggs and a sore head.

And more recently, sober curious new years’ spent feeling like a loser for not feeling like a party. Early to bed and long walks under clear blue skies the morning after, speaking my intentions into the ether. The start of something fresh, yes. But lacking a sense of celebration. Of communion.

So, after I said YES to the Kripalu people, I called some more of my favorite humans to ask if they wanted to come try something new this new year, too. They did, and the result is New Year, Nu You—a week of transformational intention-setting for 2018!

New Year Nu You retreat The Numinous Kripalu 2018

The people I called also happen to be some of the most talented, inspiring and heart-centered teachers I have worked with on my spiritual path. Some of whom are featured in my book, others whom I have co-curated much magic with. And this coming JANUARY 1—5 you get to share in this magic too.

So, what’s on the program?

As the great Universal oneness would have it, Jan 1 2018 also happens to fall on a Cancer Full Moon. (And you know how I feel about the Moon). Cancer is the sign of deep emotional healing; of sacred self-care; of family; and of coming home to the comfort of our own selves. And so we will begin with a special Full Moon ceremony, to open our container and set our intentions for the week to come.

We’ll then go DEEP with 4 days workshops, ritual, and awakening. Including:

  • Astrology as Basic Life Skill. Unlocking the basics of birth chart interpretation and a look at how the astrology for 2018 applies specifically to YOU … hosted by me!
  • Trust Yourself: Intuition 101. A practical guide to connecting to your own intuitive voice and unleashing your psychic super-powers with Betsy LeFae.
  • Guided Intention-setting Journey. A meditative deep dive into your heart space, using shamanic journey work, visualization, symbolism, and imagery with Alexandra Roxo.
  • Tarot for The Wild Soul. An immersive journey into soul-centered Tarot reading, learning how to read Tarot for growth, healing, and personal expansion with Lindsay Mack.
  • The Happiness Method. Ancient wisdom meets modern science and holistic nutrition, as we learn real-world applications for self-transformation with Sah D’Simone.
  • Spirit Séance: Group Intuitive Circle. The chance to receive your own psychic message from the spirit world in a safe and protected environment with Betsy LeFae.
  • Heart to Heart: Connection as the Sacred Path to Love. Discover a deep practice for unlocking our most authentic self-expression, heartfelt truths, and intimate relationships with Alexandra Roxo.
  • The Sacred Wheel. A Tarot journey into 2018 to discover the Tarot medicine for the year to come with Lindsay Mack.
  • Meditation and Breathwork. A practice to begin to rewire your brain with new habits, to heal trauma, settle the mind, and become more present and emotionally intelligent with Sah D’Simone.
  • Story Medicine. We close with a ritualized, open-sharing circle, to leave us feeling seen, valued, and inspired to continue on your journey, also hosted by me.

(Get full class descriptions HERE + presenter bios HERE).

And all in the beautiful, nurturing surroundings of amazing Kripalu, one of the premier yoga and wellness centers in the US. Set in 100 acres of beautiful grounds, we’ll be fueled with three meals per day from the renowned Kripalu Kitchen. All guests will also have access to daily yoga and other movement classes, plus access to the sauna, fitness room, outdoor hiking trails, and more!

The cost of the Numinous New Year, Nu You program is $375, with accommodation starting at $460 per person (including all food and additional workshops). Plus, there’s plenty of room for you to bring all your friends! Read more and explore all the options HERE.

Can you think of a better way to begin your new year? Didn’t think so. 2018 we are COMING TO GET YOU …

LIBRA :: LIBRA RISING
Ten of Swords, Rx

Happy turn around the sun, sweet Libra! This is a month of transformation and integration for your whole sign. It is a cosmic fresh start. Don’t let this card scare you—it’s bringing nothing but good tidings your way. There have been so many dark moments for you this year, Libra. Now, believe it or not, the sun is truly going to start shining on your life. Difficulties will begin to melt, old patterns will begin to shift and change. You’ve already done the work, loves. This month will be a beautiful new beginning, one that will prove to you how much you’ve transformed over the last year.

Ten of Swords Rx is much softer, much kinder, and much more positive than it’s upright sister. The upright energy of Ten of Swords indicates a moment in our lives when we need to simply do, not think. This card leaves us zero room for victimhood, rumination and indecision. The old way is done and gone—there is only forward, into the new and unknown. The reversal, Libra, is a signal that you’re about to reap the fruits of having gone through that intense journey. It is done; you made it, whether you knew it or not!

Each one of you, in a critical moment, chose what was necessary, instead of what was easy. You said yes to wherever your soul was calling for you to step up, despite the discomfort—and it is going to be paying off for you in spades. You’ve been warriors, and now it’s time to move into transformation and integration, taking all that you’ve learned and channeling it into wisdom that you can share with others. Bow to yourself, loves. Honor your work, honor your courage, celebrate your soul growth. You deserve it, and then some.

SCORPIO :: SCORPIO RISING
Queen of Swords

Queen of Swords is here to help you ground, Scorpio. To help you root back down into your communication, your truth, and your trust in life. Queen of Swords is ruled by water and air—she is a fierce archetype. She shows up when life feels a little too ungrounded, when our mind and heart can turn in on us, flooding us with confusion. If even a sliver of us is out of alignment, she is there with her sword, ready to slice through any BS that doesn’t serve us. She is the energy that arrives when both our thoughts and emotions are contractive and limiting.

We may feel that we don’t know what’s going on, that we can’t quite find our footing. Over and over again, Queen of Swords will show up in those moments and help us expand and trust in ourselves again. You are ready for this deep clearing, Scorpio. Many of you have been working through some very old, calcified belief systems in this recent Pluto Retrograde (which began April 20th and ended September 28th). It is time to both release the lessons, and the old karmic patterns that you were made aware of again — and it’s time to begin a new leaf around communication.

Confidence in speaking your vulnerable truth is really what Queen of Swords is here for this month. She is here to help you open your heart and your throat chakra so anything that blocks you from sharing in moments of contraction can be cleared. Even if you are a clear talker, Scorpio, that doesn’t always imply truthful, emotionally rooted communication. Why is this so important? So you can begin to receive more guidance in the difficult moments of your life, rather than holding everything in. Do the deep work, let your truth shine, feel the support all around you.

SAGITTARIUS :: SAGITTARIUS RISING
Three of Crystals, Rx

If you don’t like the way things are going in your life, Sagittarius, do something about it. I’m serious! This is the month to make a change. If you’ve been waiting, unsure, contracted and scared, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for to take a leap into something new. If you’ve been planning on that all along for this month, congratulations—you are right on! Now is a time to begin to embrace an exploration of self, to tune in with what doesn’t work, and stretch a hand out to whatever might make your soul sing.

You may not receive the kind of clarity of purpose that you are longing for right away, but you will have started a new chapter. Just by leaving what doesn’t serve you any longer, you’ll be half way there. Three of Crystals, or Pentacles, is a beautiful energy, one that usually shows up in a reading when we are doing exactly what we are meant to be doing with our lives. It usually feels like that, too! There is a true sense that we are working in a way that is in alignment with our soul purpose.

The reversal isn’t that things are out of alignment, necessarily, but they might feel funky. It might feel tough to pinpoint the source of the discomfort and unrest around our place in the world. It usually means that we are ready to expand to the next level, ready to upgrade—and with this reversal, it usually means that we must leave something behind in order to do so. So, my loves, don’t complicate it this month. If you need to end something, end it. If you need to speak your peace, speak it. If it’s time to quit, time to move, jump in and trust yourself. It’ll pay off in spades.

CAPRICORN :: CAPRICORN RISING
Transformation

October is another profoundly transformative month in a series of many for you, Capricorn. You have definitely been riding out some major changes over the last year. I invite you to reflect for a moment: where were you last year at this time? Six months ago? One month ago? I guarantee that the evolutions that you have moved through are markedly profound, whether you were feeling them internally or externally.

How did this last year change your life? How did it change you? What did you have to do—or not do—to get where you are now? And, perhaps most importantly of all, what are you still being called to release, or surrender to? Where are you ready to bloom open in a whole new direction? It will be crucial for you to meditate on these inquiries in October, Capricorn—the Death card is here to help. Transformation, or the Death card, is nothing to fear, just like change and loss of control are nothing to fear. The ego hates the feeling of not being in the driver’s seat, but the soul is right at home in the unknown.

You’re beginning, slowly but surely, Capricorn, to value your intuition over your will. This is truly the crux of what The Universe has been guiding you through for the past year. It’s certainly not to say that your amazing discipline and work ethic won’t still be a foundational part of you. You’re just building in new gifts, getting a deep lesson in pausing and surrender before stepping into anything new. You are continuing your process of being cracked open again and again, all to drop you into deeper alignment with your intuition. Keep reflecting on how much you’ve changed—the Death card will only be furthering that transformation this month.

AQUARIUS :: AQUARIUS RISING
Seven of Wands

Sevens in the Tarot are invitations to do inner work around what feels like an external situation. Seven of Wands is specific to identification with a role, position or title, usually one that has shifted from under us, or that we have outgrown. Where in your life is it time to redefine yourself, Aquarius? October will be the month to find out.

Where in your life is your ego most identified? Take a moment and feel that question resonate through your body. Is it a name, a title, a position, or a role you play out in your life? Is it your sexuality, your economic status, or your job title? It is the need to be coupled with another, or defined by a relationship? Is it the need to have specific commitments, or no commitments at all? Do these identities feel freeing to you, or limiting?

If you are defending a position, or aligning with an identity that you’ve already outgrown, bow to it and honor it — no shame or judgement in that whatsoever. Just understand that Seven of Wands is here to offer a potent liberation in that area, a gentle homecoming to the infinite nature of our being. It is a reminder that it’s safe to let things go, to change our minds, to relax into something new. Identities are beautiful, but when they begin to limit us, we need to go down to the roots and investigate. October will be inviting you into just that kind of work, sweet Aquarius. Welcome it’s presence—you are the kind of spirits who cannot be tied down when it doesn’t feel right! It might be intense to let go of an old title, identity, or role that you cherished, loved, and found yourself in, but if it doesn’t resonate any longer, it’s time to shed it.

PISCES :: PISCES RISING
Ace of Wands

October is your month, Pisces! Ace of Wands is an incredibly expansive energy, one that feels like a rebirth of self. It is an artistic explosion, ripe with focus, clarity and inspiration around what we love, and most desire to create. You have been in some deep cocoons over the last few months. Now, you are fully out of your chrysalis, your beautiful new wings shimmering in the sunlight. Now is the time to make, to birth, to create and to spark the flow of your passions. Ace of Wands brings divine inspiration, huge new ideas and very exciting opportunities. You deserve them in spades, loves. Seize your flame and run with it.

The wild, raw, creative juices will be flowing—your job is to give them structure. If you are making music, block out time every day to play and record, whether you like what you’re doing or not. It’s the doing that matters, not necessarily how we feel about it. Over time, that discipline pays off! The same thing goes for anything that you are breathing creative life into. Don’t think about it too much, just let yourself get your hands dirty. Play, experiment, and let it be joyous. Be sure to intensely protect and defend your sacred creative time—when the work knocks, answer.

Ace of Wands in your month of October will really feel like you’re turning a new leaf. Your souls have been waiting for this moment, when your internal process can finally join hands with an external expansion. You are ready to birth something new and beautiful into the world, something that only you could bring. Celebrate the shit out of that, and enjoy every moment. If there was ever a time to feel the fear and do it anyway, this is it.

ARIES :: ARIES RISING
Ace of Cups

The entire month of October is a beautiful heart opener for you, Aries. Again and again, you will be flooded with opportunities to fall in love with your life—and yourself. Things have shifted for you since you moved through the Akashic Records card in September. Karmic patterns were totally shifted, new cycles were born, and the potential for expansion was, and still is, enormous. Those of you who said a courageous yes to those invitations have begun a transformation that will continue to unfold in the coming months. It begins here, in October, in the glorious energy of Ace of Cups.

Ace of Cups is a gentle and gorgeous invitation to open the heart to a new level of love and intimacy. It is a truly advanced level of emotional connectivity. Everything you touch this month will have the potential to be medicine for your heart chakra. You are changing, Aries—softening and blossoming, open to ease and grace in a way you’ve never been before. You moved through a mighty process this year, and things are truly beginning to shift in another direction for you. The old things that used to matter and control your life are largely processed. Now, what you’re left with is pure potential, and pure open heartedness.

Say yes, as often as you can, to anything that brings you into oneness with another, or with yourself. Drink of the cup that is the wellspring of your innate lovability and worthiness. Ace of Cups has a beautiful ability to connect us with experiences that expand us. Be open to sudden, random acts of kindness. Be open to meeting new people—perhaps deep new friends, or a beloved. But most of all, be open to embracing the wisest, fiercest, gentlest teacher on the planet: your own sacred heart.

TAURUS :: TAURUS RISING
Nine of Cups

Nine of Cups is such a delicious energy for you to be flowing in this month, Taurus. It is the perfect card for you, beautifully aligning with your earthy nature. This month might feel like an interesting mix of busy and dreamy, which is just the way you like it! Busy with what life will be asking of you in the day to day—dreamy with your hopes and desires for the future. Indeed, nines in the Tarot are always about wrapping up, clearing an old pattern while simultaneously preparing for a new cycle to emerge. That’s why October might feel like a funny blend of energies in moments, but I promise you’ll most likely enjoy every moment of it.

Nine of Cups is the wishing card. There’s an air of mystery and magic wrapped around the very essence of it. It’s true—when we flow through this card, it’s almost like moving through New Moon energy. The time becomes ripe to plant seeds of intention for the future. We are encouraged to dream big, to wish big, to let our hearts run wild with delight. Nine of Cups is rich in potential and possibility, so let this energy take you far! What will be asked of you this month, Taurus, is to seriously upgrade your wishes in this life.

You will be drawn strongly into upper limit issues, areas of sensitivity around money, love, and general ease and grace in your life, all to investigate where you’re being called to upgrade. This card, and this energy, is where we want to step out of our comfort zones, to dream bigger than we ever have, to ask for more than we ever have. It might feel scary and vulnerable, but that’s our work in the Nine of Cups: to identify discomfort, and let our wishes bloom accordingly.

GEMINI :: GEMINI RISING
The Tower, Rx

Here you are in the energy of the mighty Tower again, Gemini—the second time in the last few months. That’s a lot of deep recentering and clearing! Fortunately for you, The Tower has shown up reversed for your monthly medicine, which is a much softer energy. Let’s drop into why that is, and what it’s bringing you. For starters, you are changing, Gemini, that much is clear. There are very, very big things at play, most of them happening in a very subterranean way right now. Think of tectonic plates shifting beneath the ocean, slow, powerful, and ultimately transformative.

It is absolutely time to ask some big questions. Is your life fulfilling you? Making you happy? Do you feel like you can release some of what holds you in places of overwork, exhaustion, or even burnout? In other words, Gemini, are there aspects of your life that you used to adore, and just don’t anymore? If so, that’s okay! Just admit it to yourself. That’s part of why The Tower is here, working with you this month—to help guide you through the slow process of waking up to what you’re truly, in your heart, ready to say goodbye to.

The Tower comes to free us from something we are no longer meant to walk with. The reversal is much softer, and lives firmly in the internal realm. In other words, Gemini, you will be experiencing the clearing of The Tower in a subconscious way this month. Pay attention to your dreams and feelings, look deeply at the structures of your life, and of your inner experience. Let the process flow on its own time; commit to being a quiet, curious observer of your internal landscape. There is much for you to see this month.

CANCER :: CANCER RISING
Six of Crystals

Where are you in your relationship to receiving right now, Cancer? October is presenting you with an important opportunity to pause for a moment and consider this. Are you burned out? Bored? Feeling overextended? Are you truly receiving as much as you give? Are you talking yourself out of being “ready” to be of highest service, feeling like you have nothing to give to others at this moment? To get clear on where the current energetic levels are in our lives, we have to ask these questions, and follow them down deeply.

We might not feel burned out, but we might be feeling anger. We might not be angry, but we might be feeling distracted in our work. No matter what, it shakes out to the same thing: there is an energetic balance in our lives with our giving and receiving. It may be profound or slight, but no matter what, it is important that we pay attention in order to correct it. Wherever you are in this moment is perfect, Cancer — even if it’s a tough, or highly unbalanced place, energetically speaking. It’s here to teach you something, and Six of Crystals, or Pentacles, is here to help facilitate a greater embracing of that balance, a sacred ebb and flow.

In Six of Pentacles, we receive by giving, and give by receiving. The healer gets a healing, and the person offering it gets filled up by serving another person. What this card truly offers us is the wisdom to know when to fill our well when we need it, and to only serve another when we are at an overflow. Begin this revolution with yourself, Cancer. How is your well? Whatever you need, giving or receiving, may you be overflowing and abundant this month and always.

LEO :: LEO RISING
Knight of Cups

Sacred balance is your medicine this month, sweet Leo. Everything you do in October will be in service of recalibrating your spirit, helping you to feel more deeply aligned with your life path, and your purpose. Part of this will be facilitated by leaning into the soul essence of the Knight of Cups, who invites us to live in as much ease and grace as possible, even through contraction.This archetype reminds us that even the toughest times can have a stroke of beauty in them. You have spent the last few years considering this idea, learning to trust goodness, letting yourself sink deeper and deeper into receiving.

It can feel scary to be willing to choose grace in difficult moments, to lean into our faith that things will recenter, even in darker times. And yet, slowly but surely, you have created a life where that is beginning to be the norm for you. Your nervous systems have really gone through a powerful upgrade; new neural pathways have been formed. Knights bring movement and messages, powerful invitations to embody their essence and infuse it into some part of our lives. Letting things be amazing without worrying about what’s coming next, or without panicking that it will all fall apart—that is your task for this month and beyond.

This is what is getting cemented in you this month, Leo—a rebalancing of heart and head, of mind and soul. Choosing to align yourself with grace and beauty, even in challenging moments. Root down into yourself and feel the fullness of the support all around you. Doing so will open you up powerfully to the realms of imagination, the mind, and the dream space. Let it be beautiful, and inspiration, abundance and new opportunities will flow into your life.

VIRGO :: VIRGO RISING
Ace of Swords

Ace of Swords is a perfect energy for you to be flowing in this month, Virgo. It’s got your name all over it: potential for inspiration, clear mindedness, powerful downloads, and massive opportunities to make great headway on any ideas that feel deeply exciting and aligned for you. It’s a wonderful blend of your natural sensibilities, and the organic potency of this card. Embrace it with all you’ve got; it’s bringing some wonderful things your way.

Put simply, loves, the presence of the Ace of Swords is a powerful indicator of new ideas and new projects on the horizon. It could present the opportunity to study, channeling new things, absorbing exciting knowledge from others. It is often an indicator of major ideas being ready to come through us. No matter what, it’s nothing but eureka moments and strokes of genius with this card. Expect to be intellectually stimulated, and to have many different sources of inspiration flow through you as the month goes on.

As with any Ace, this energy is a gift from Divine that we have to reach out and receive, rather than assume it will just be placed in front of us. Empower yourself to work with this energy in a really intentional way. Take time to inquire deeply, Virgo: what kind of life scenarios best facilitate clear thinking and powerful study for you? Whatever they are, wherever they are, say yes to them, and take the first step. We want to be focusing on the mind and the heart being as open as they can to these downloads. We are also encouraged to say a gentle no thank you to anything that distracts or does not serve us at this time. Ace energy is powerful and magical, loves. Let yourself be fully available for it.

LEARN HOW TO READ TAROT WITH LINDSAY MACK

Posted on by Ruby Warrington

At last! Numinous resident Tarotscopes queen Lindsay Mack has created a digital course on how to read Tarot. Ruby Warrington explains why Lindsay’s Tarot For The Wild Soul is an invaluable tool on your soul journey …Lindsay mack tarot for the wild soul how to read the tarot the numinous

I first met Lindsay Mack about two and a half years ago, when I interviewed her for my book Material Girl, Mystical World. I’d become aware of Lindsay and her work after we ran this interview with her on the site—and there was one quote that had really stood out to me.

“I read Tarot for people’s soul expansion—meaning I read in a way that helps them to wake up to the truth of their being.”

Woah. I was still in the early research stages of my book, and I didn’t know at the time that this sentence was essentially tapping into what would become the BIG message of MGMW, and my work in a wider sense.

I have since come to believe that seeking to unpick the conditioning that keeps us small, fearful and compliant, thus connecting to our individual truths, and then making our life choices from this place, is at the essence of our spiritual work, and our evolution both as individuals and as a collective. And in Lindsay’s hands, the Tarot becomes an amazing tool for exactly this.

After our first meeting (which I wished could go on for DAYS, that’s how good it is to hear Linds speak on her soul subject), I invited her to become a regular contributor to The Numinous. She’s since been writing our monthly Tarotscopes column and recording weekly Tarotscopes videos—which regular readers + viewers will know are not only off-the-hook accurate, but delivered with the utmost love and compassion for our individual journeys.

And so, I could NOT be more excited to share that Lindsay has gone and created a TAROT FOR THE WILD SOUL digital course! YES. Like all the most evolved modern mystics, Linds is dedicated to empowering others to use these ancient tools for themselves, and this 8-week program is a deep-dive into the Tarot as medicine.

Course dates: October 3—November 21 2017
***IMPORTANT*** Signup is only open through October 1 2017 (and the course won’t run again until next year!)

You can click HERE to learn more about Linds and her work and sign up—or read on below for more details on the course itself!

The Motherpeace Tarot by Karen Vogel and Vicki Noble is one of Lindsay’s favorite decks

An eight-week guided immersion into how to read Tarot, participants will receive 13 instructional videos, 10 pre-recorded audio meditations, weekly rituals and practices to do with their decks, a beautiful PDF document for journaling, gentle homework assignments, access to a private community Facebook group, and an abundance of weekly bonus material, all to support them on this journey.

The eight weeks will be structured as follows:

Week 1—What is Soul Tarot?

Week 2—The Major Arcana :: The Sacred Macrocosm

Week 3—The Swords :: Mastering Brain Chemistry

Week 4—The Cups :: Trusting One’s Intuition

Week 5—The Wands :: The Sacred Fire

Week 6—The Pentacles :: Living Spiritually in a Material World

Week 7—The Court Cards :: The Master Level

Week 8—Going Deeper

VIRGO :: VIRGO RISING
Queen of Wands

Happy turn around the sun, sweet Virgo! You are celebrating your birth month with one of the most exciting and beloved cards in the Tarot, the Queen of Wands. Ruled by the dual elements of fire and water, Queen of Wands is all things. She is the witch of the deck, the alchemist, the sexual goddess and the spirit of creative genius. She is a direct channel to Divine, she trusts her intuition, and allows her creativity to flow from her like rainwater. She is quiet about it, too. Indeed, Queen of Wands doesn’t need to talk about these aspects of herself — she just is, beaming her magic out into the world with every step she takes. You are being asked to embody Queen of Wands energy this month, sweet Virgo, allowing yourself to walk through the world radiating these qualities. Rather than wholly relying on your beautifully honed intellect and ability to analyze, you’re being invited to allow your inner knowing to guide the way even more deeply this month.

This shift in energy will organically lead you to some totally new experiences in September and beyond. It is making way for new collaborations, new ideas, inspirations, moments of brilliance and a greater felt experience of total empowerment and personal magic. This card’s reach is transformative. Your only job is to be willing, loves. Willing to allow this alchemical energy into your life, willing to let it sit at the table of your heart. It will be helping to literally redefine your sense of self, and your beliefs about what you are capable of. Leave room for mystery this month. Embrace wabi-sabi in all things. Push against your comfort zone, trust yourself in crucial moments, let the fire and water within you, the passion and the deep knowing, dance as one. The result be will amazing.

LIBRA :: LIBRA RISING 
Ten of Cups

Rejoice, dear Libra! Do a little dance and get excited — you are moving through the amazing Ten of Cups this month, an energy that you have earned with your hard work, one that is enormously deserved.

Ten of Cups is romanticized for a reason — it’s pretty spectacular. It represents the joyful end of an emotional cycle, typically one that has been rife with inner turmoil. The journey in the Cups from the Ace to the Ten is an intense one, filled with many lessons. In the Cups, we learn to move through great loss, we learn to trust our intuition (even through the din of fear and huge emotions), and we open ourselves to love, to the perfection of the beauty all around us. Ten of Cups is the payoff to this struggle, and it can come into our lives in many ways.

Ten of Cups can be an experience of getting everything we want, our dreams coming true, and living happily ever after, but that’s not always the case. What Ten of Cups gifts to us, above all things, is the opportunity to genuinely love, accept, and appreciate the present moment, giving thanks for all that we do have. You have the opportunity to taste the fruits of trust and peace in your life, Libra — even if you aren’t where you’d like to be, even if you don’t have your beloved by your side yet, even if you are still learning, still figuring stuff out. Wherever you are is perfect, and you get to practice leaning into that, regardless of where you are in your life, which will only make you more available to greater joy and more blessings. This is the true gift of Ten of Cups, and — dare I say it — the key to a happy life. It’s an invaluable lesson. Be here for it.

SCORPIO :: SCORPIO RISING 
Knight of Wands, Rx

Knight of Wands reversed has a very important message for you this month, Scorpio: have more fun. This archetype is letting you know that life has become too starchy, too devoid of play and spirited joy. September will be your opportunity to change that in a lasting way. Much is spoken of your intensity and sexual energy — you are also spectacularly hard workers. When that fixed sign work ethic drifts too far left of center, it can turn life into one big responsibility, with no moments left for relaxation, or restoration, not to mention fun. Be willing to look deeply at your beliefs about play. Is it just for kids? A waste of time? Does it make you anxious, believing that your time could be spend on more productive things? If so, it’s time to recenter from the foundation up. You not only need moments of unstructured creative time, but you also need to shake things up with some fun. Whether that means working on a side project, playing on a basketball team, taking a weekly class, or taking up ballet, it doesn’t matter. Empower yourself to shift your relationship to the value of fun, whatever that means to you.

Knight of Wands is a being that moves through the world with the desire to bring great joy to those that he comes into contact with — he wants to have an impact, wants to be seen and remembered. You are giving this gift to yourself this month, Scorpio. Show up for yourself on a new level, and be willing to get really uncomfortable with how much fun you allow yourself to have. The benefits of this shift are invaluable. It will infuse new life into your work, will open your intuition, and will reconnect you with your loved ones. This month, commit to the hardest work of all: play.

SAGITTARIUS :: SAGITTARIUS RISING 
Two of Swords, Rx

September is all about self care for you, Sagittarius — both making it a priority in your life, no matter how busy you are, and upgrading it to a new level going forward. Two of Swords is a very powerful and important energy, one that offers us a crucial barometer around our brain chemistry, mental well being, and energetic boundaries. When we receive it in a reading, we need to clear, take space, process things mentally, and return to our center. This card employs a fierceness of spirit around self care that, unfortunately, can be misunderstood all too easily as someone who is too cold, too distant and stand-offish. Two of Swords, however, invites us to pay it no mind — she encourages us to take the space and time we need without explanation.

Put simply, loves, you need to take some space and it’s not happening. There is a need for greater gentleness around the nervous system that’s not being honored. So, what do you do with this information? Inquire around where and why that might be, and make changes accordingly. It’s not because you did anything wrong, or you aren’t paying attention — quite the contrary. It’s most likely because many of you are in deep process, evolving along with everyone else on the planet, and what used to work for you in terms of self care now needs to be expanded and reevaluated. It’s that simple. Whether it’s bodywork, more time in nature, upping your hydration, tweaking your diet, or just more restorative time in general, Two of Swords is calling, and it is crucial to heed her invitation. Make zero apologies. Do not explain yourself when you need space. Trust your intuition around social media, your phone, or the company of certain people in your life. Take the space, and see how much more supported you feel.

CAPRICORN :: CAPRICORN RISING 
Page of Swords

I have three words for your September, Capricorn: Go for it! Whatever you are envisioning, planning, creating or dreaming of, go for it. Divine timing is on your side to make almost anything happen this month. Gather your courage, center yourself, and seize the chance to birth your next great project, task or idea into the world. Committing to these energies may stretch you to your limits in many ways — but what excites you more than that, Capricorn? What thrills you more than a juicy challenge, and a chance to work hard on something that stimulates you? Page of Swords coming together with Virgo season is going to unfold like a dream come true, offering the perfect support system for you to birth these ideas into the world. Take advantage of it.

Page of Swords is a powerful archetype, ruled by air and earth. He is someone who has done the work mentally and energetically to ready himself for something new. His hopes are high, his vision is clear, he feels good, and he is chomping at the bit to have his “shot.” He has knowledge he wants to share, thoughts he wants to communicate, people he deeply wants to serve. The air/earth combination aids him greatly in being able to accomplish this, grounding his visions with enough practicality to make them feasible. In other words, Capricorn, go for it. You are ready. You have moved through the big contractive energies of the last several months, learning your lessons, trusting in timing, learning the art of leaving room for mystery — now you get to move forward, armed with the wisdom gained from the last cycle. If you are feeling scared, ask for support around your next big steps. If you’re willing to be bold and brave, you will have everything you need to make it happen.

AQUARIUS
Two of Wands

September promises to be a very delicious month for you, Aquarius, ripe with potential opportunities and exciting choices. Two of Wands is an energetic fresh start, and represents a time when the possibilities of our life expand enormously. We begin to have options where we didn’t before, and our interests may be aroused in many different directions. Your sacred opportunity this month will be to make some very important choices around your next steps. This might feel tough in moments, because any path that Two of Wands offers brings something amazing. It’s really a win no matter what, which is is an awesome situation to be in.

Two of Wands is about letting our hearts be guided by the wisdom of our experience, a choice that is largely guided by an earned instinct. You are changing, Aquarius. You have been through a deep journey in the last year, and some of that is beginning to shift. The skies have been very changeable for you this year, bringing you into some powerful lessons and, in some cases, extraordinary change. The path ahead is clearer, brighter, more rich with possibility. Any rut that you’ve been in, energetically or otherwise, is most definitely coming to an end. Life is going to start getting a lot more exciting, the future opening up in some amazing ways. You may feel like you’re at a crossroads of sorts this month, Aquarius, but it won’t be a painful one. The toughest part of Two of Wands is figuring out where to point our compass because every option feels wonderful.

If you can gently temper the excitement you may feel with a little reflection, it will help enormously. You will make the choice that’s best for you, Aquarius. Trust your heart, and give yourself time to drop into what your soul is really longing for.

PISCES :: PISCES RISING
Five of Cups

You are moving through Five of Cups this month, Pisces, and I won’t lie to you: you’re going to be swimming in some deep waters. But when has that been a problem for you? You are the most experienced deep divers in the Zodiac, regularly swimming into parts of the heart and caves of the soul that many never visit in their lifetime. You are being invited to embrace this part of yourself — it is one of your most awe-inspiring superpowers.

Five of Cups is a kind of emotional contraction, a lesson we move through in order to more deeply trust in the temporal nature of our emotions. Being in Five of Cups can often feel like we cannot see the way forward, that we will be stuck in a situation forever. This card can arise around a totally innocuous inner experience, or it can be as blunt as grief over the loss of a loved one, heartbreak, or a flood of old emotions returning. In the traditional Smith-Rider-Waite card, we see a man grieving over three spilled cups, his back turned to the two full cups behind him. The medicine of this card is inviting you to turn to the “full cups” in your life — what awaits you, and lives on the other side of your emotional experience. There, a treasure awaits, one that will contain what you need in order to move forward.

These treasures are earned through the power of your soul work, Pisces, and enrich every part of you. They strengthen your gifts, expand your intuition, and bless you with greater wisdom and deeper knowing. September is one of those months, one that will invite you to dive deep, and certainly one that will yield its weight in expansion, inner richness and golden wisdom. Trust it, and take the leap.

ARIES :: ARIES RISING 
Akashic Records

September is your month, Aries. The path ahead is bright, clear, and practically golden in its potential. Take advantage of it fully, leaning into every bit of the magic and alchemy that await you in the upcoming cycle. You are moving through the Akashic Records card in September, and put simply, it’s a really, really big deal. This card showing up in a reading is extraordinarily rare, and the medicine it brings is highly advanced and deeply effective.

The Akashic Records themselves are a kind of Universal file folder of divine information. When we tune into the Akashic Records, it is said that we can gain wisdom and answers around anything in the Universe that has ever been, or ever will be. You are in this kind of powerful energy this month, Aries, and it is guiding you toward your next big expansion, both as a collective sign, and as individuals. Know that you have the power to shift your karma this month, to change the direction of your patterns — the potential is endless, and promises to be incredibly magical.

The month ahead will be full of spectacular blessings and opportunities to expand exponentially, but you have to work. You have to show up, doing your part. Whatever you bring forward, Divine will double it. This is the month to say “fuck you” to fear, to doubt, to past pain, to old traumas that have been holding you back. Show up, shine your light, share what has been in your heart, and take the next step in your soul’s evolution. It’s going to take everything you’ve got, but you’re up for it. Rather than thinking of it as an intense or draining time, think about yourself as a kind of athlete, training for the Olympics. You are ready for this — you can do it.

TAURUS :: TAURUS RISING 
Five of Crystals

You are moving through the advanced medicine of Five of Crystals, or Pentacles this month, sweet Taurus. It is here to let you know that what you want — what you’ve wished for and longed to manifest — is coming. It is on its way, being hand delivered to you, and you are being asked to be trusting and patient with its arrival time. It’s tough, but you can do it.

Five of Pentacles is an advanced energy because it typically asks us to move through a challenge of some kind. It will also ask us to stay very centered through the unfolding of it, rooted in our truth. It doesn’t matter where this card shows up in your life, it’s job is to test your trust, and to help you relax into this moment, unknown as it may be. Empower yourself to stay as cool as you can. Five of Pentacles never lasts long, and it’s usually totally up to us as to whether it’s a slightly uncomfortable experience, or a dreadful experience. Your choice, loves — choose wisely.

Fives in the Tarot are always contractive. They literally squeeze us in order to expand us, readying us for a birth of some kind. When we resist a contraction, we are just uncomfortable for a longer period of time. When we give into them, surrendering and honoring the lesson, we make room for new. Five of Pentacles is often unfairly thought of as a card of money trouble, which is such a limited view of it. If it does affect your abundance this month, Taurus, it is only an energetic sign that you are expanding, preparing to receive more. Get curious around what you might perceive as setbacks and delays. They really are bringing a gift. Once trust in the timing is infused, everything you’ve been waiting for will flood right in.

GEMINI :: GEMINI RISING 
Transformation/Death

You are cycling through the Death card this month, Gemini. September promises to be a deep time of powerful renewal, incredible lessons, and — of course — releasing what no longer serves your life. Whether this sacred death is a external one (marriage/relationship, job, apartment, a big move), or an internal one, space is being made for something new to grow. Trust it with all your might, sweet ones. There is nothing to fear from this card, I promise you. As much as you might not want to say goodbye, the thing you are releasing can serve you better in another form. Death never comes unless it’s truly time for that aspect of your life to go.

Ruled by Scorpio, the Death card never bodes an actual, physical death. The Death card is about an energetic death, about spiralic change and the turn of the wheel of life. It is in a snake shedding its skin, in the changing of the seasons — the last golden leaf falling from a barren tree, preparing at last to rest for the winter. It is the transmutation of one thing into another, and the honoring of that process. We eat food, then we become food. The weeds in our garden can become sacred compost, fertilizing the new, encouraging it to grow. This card brings transformation to all who are touched by it, letting us know that an old part of us must die away in order for us to move forward, growing as we need to be. Because this card represents an ego death, it can be intense for us to move through it. Honor any discomfort that may come up for you around it, perhaps even grieve it in your way, but no matter what this is coming up around, it is making space for something amazing to come in. Trust and release.

CANCER
Four of Cups, Rx

September is a kind of review for you, Cancer, one in which you will be called upon to be very present around your emotional boundaries. What you say yes and no to this month will be of the utmost importance to consider. Your reserves will be precious, so it will be crucial to make sure you are moving forward with something only when you truly feel good about it. Saying yes when it’s really a no can have some consequences this month: think getting sick, feeling drained, etc. You all have so much light to share, but your nervous systems need a lot of down time to regenerate after being out in the world. That’s okay — just honor it. Four of Cups is a sign that that honoring is not happening as it needs to. Now you have to check in around why that might be.

Four of Cups reversed is a powerful energy, and one that can be challenging to anyone with a heavy fear of missing out, whether it be on experiences, opportunities, or relationships. It comes at a moment when we are emotionally full, and in order to digest our feelings and experiences, we need to take a gentle break around mindless intaking. We have to integrate. Honor your need to take this time, Cancer. If you continue to drink while you’re still hungover, you’ll always be sick. Honor your instinct and your truth, allowing your words to be a reflection of that. Trust that you can miss nothing that is meant for you, giving yourself the gift of pausing long and hard before you commit to anything this month. September is a reset, and a chance to heighten your integrity and personal commitment to your self care. Embracing it will bring in more abundance than you could ever imagine.

LEO :: LEO RISING 
Nine of Swords

You are moving through the medicine of Nine of Swords this month, Leo — diving deeply into a powerful invitation to face your fears and find a sense of personal equilibrium in a time of uncertainty. Indeed, nothing in the tangible realm will necessarily be in flux, or creating an external source of fear — in other words, the fear brought up in Nine of Swords may be coming solely from your own mind, but that doesn’t make it any less legitimate. The experience can be uncomfortable, no matter what. The work you will be welcomed into this month will be to pull up a chair to your fear, invite your doubts and “what ifs” to tea. To listen to yourself, and inquire around what might be happening in your mind that you don’t necessarily want to hang out with all the time. Honoring this invitation will be a deep liberation to your spirit, empowering you to not only face what scares you, but to befriend it. Once we face a fear, it becomes an ally, one that can provide enormous strength and self compassion. Trust what it’s bringing, and allow it to really transform you this month.

Often, Nine of Swords arises in a reading when we are about to do something exciting, awesome, or expansive. The brain can get frightened of losing control over us, and can pump out all kinds of fears, doubts, terrors, “what ifs,” and nightmares, all to keep us in familiar territory. It will be crucially important to ask yourself if you are in one of those times in your life, Leo. If so, Nine of Swords is, dare I say it, a very positive card bringing a very important message for you. Face your fears, and find excitement and empowerment on the other side of the journey.
