You don’t need to be a total tarot reading expert to get advice straight from the universe. Remezcla’s got you covered. And who am I? I’m Sofía, an intuitive tarot reader, writer, and fellow astrology enthusiast, with three years of experience. Every month, I will shuffle my deck and ask “what do these signs need to know about the upcoming month?” I pick three cards for each Zodiac element, break down what each of them mean, and explain how they connect to you . 

Every Zodiac sign has a corresponding element that groups them together: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are air signs; Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are fire signs; Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are earth signs; and Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water signs. 

So, read the message that corresponds to your sun sign — the one that falls on your birthday. Or if you’re a super astrology fan, read the messages that correspond to your Big Three (sun, moon, and rising signs). For example, I’m an Aquarius sun, Aries moon, and Taurus rising. To find out your own Big Three, input your birth information here to create your birth chart. 

Keep on reading to see what the cards have to say about the month ahead for October. Good luck!

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) 

Ace of Swords tarot card

Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius got Ace of Swords, Five of Pentacles reversed, and Five of Swords reversed. Ace of Swords is mental clarity and breakthroughs. Five of Pentacles reversed represents a recovery from financial loss. And finally, Five of Swords reversed is past resentment, desire to reconcile, and forgiveness.

October will give you various opportunities to break through previous patterns of behaviors and thoughts, air signs. The first step of solving an issue is realizing there is an issue, so you’re half-way there. Your finances are balancing out. So, you can’t use that as an excuse anymore. This will give you the chance to focus on the other stuff you’ve been neglecting — like your relationships, platonic and romantic. You’ll be thinking of going back and making amends, or making a move to reconnect with casual friends. Be sure to actually make a move though, air signs, don’t just stay in your head about it. 

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius got The Hanged Man reversed, Three of Pentacles reversed, and Four of Swords. The Hanged Man reversed represents delays, resistance, stalling, indecision, and a lack of control. Three of Pentacles reversed is disharmony, misalignment, and working alone. And finally, Four of Swords is rest, relaxation, contemplation, retreat, and solitude. 

Wow, fire signs, you’ve had a crazy few months. October will be a month for rest and relaxation, whether you like it or not. There will be times where it might feel like the universe is playing a cosmic joke on you, with delays and group conflicts. Flights might get cancelled. People at work might not listen to you. Your friend might text to cancel your hang-out at the last minute. You could get frustrated and fight it, or you could see it for what it is: a chance to listen to your body, with no one (and nothing) there to influence you. 

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

The Magician tarot card

Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn got The Magician, Seven of Swords reversed, and King of Swords. The Magician represents creation, manifestation, action, and self-confidence. Seven of Swords reversed is rethinking an approach and coming clean. And finally, King of Swords is truthful, mental clarity, and authority.

October will really be your month, earth signs. Lots of changes are coming to you, a lot of which you’ve manifested. It won’t be the smoothest transition, though, or maybe these opportunities and changes won’t be coming in in the way you’ve imagined. The key is to be honest with yourself about what you really want right now. Is the opportunity presented to you the way you want to move forward, or do you need to pivot into a different direction? Answer the question: would I be able to handle the opportunity presented to me? Would I be happy there? You’re always allowed to change your mind, but remember to remain confident through it all — you’ll be more than fine, earth signs. 

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Seven of Wands tarot card

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces got Seven of Wands, Nine of Cups, and Eight of Wands. Seven of Wands represents protection, defense, and maintaining control. Nine of Cups is contentment, emotional stability, and gratitude. And finally, Eight of Swords is rapid action, swift change, and quick decisions.

Your main concern during the month of October is protecting your peace, water signs. A lot of things will be happening. For some of you, these changes will be physical—a move, a new job, or a person coming into your life. But for some of you, these changes will be internal without much happening in the real world. It’ll feel like an emotional rollercoaster. You might be tempted to try and protect yourself by isolating or going into the defensive with people—remember not to go overboard with it. Do what you gotta do, but everything in moderation.
