Tarot reveals the Halloween omen your star sign should look out for

Spooky season is upon us, but it’s not just a fun and festive time of year.

Ancient cultures collectively believed this is when the veil between the material and spirit world is at its thinnest, making it easier than ever to receive messages, signs, revelations, and omens from beyond.

While unseen forces swirl around you all the time, you might just notice their guidance and influence a little more readily over the next couple of weeks.

Tarot card for Aries for this Halloween: Eight of Swords

Meaning: An unusual mirror

Your spooky season omen or sign is an unusual mirror as predicted by the reflective Eight of Swords. Maybe it’s in a hall of mirrors, or a shop, or restaurant, maybe it’s vintage, highly decorative, ancient, or even in a museum.

When you spot it, feel the shiver of recognition, and stand before it. A powerful epiphany will emerge for you about who you’ve really become, who you truly are at heart, that only you know.

Tarot card for Taurus for this Halloween: The Lovers

Meaning: A pair of two things that don’t match

Your spooky season omen or sign is a pair of something put together but individually they’re different, they don’t match, as predicted by the duality-obsessed Lovers. It could be a mismatched pair of socks, a couple you meet that don’t make sense together, a jewellery set that is deliberately odd.

When you see this mismatch, take a closer look. Examine the aesthetics or dynamics. Something makes this work, and the message for you here is that you can make something weird work too! 

Tarot card for Gemini for this Halloween: The Emperor

Meaning: A powerful animal in charge

Your spooky season omen or sign is an animal which exudes power and is perhaps more in charge of its owner/keeper, as predicted by the power-flipping Emperor. This isn’t an aggressive or frightening creature, just one that seems to have the upper hand in its environment, it could even be an extremely regal cat.

When you see this creature, step closer and try to make friends. Remember that appearances are often deceiving and that true strength is usually initially invisible. Pay attention to the hidden strengths in your circle.

Tarot card for Cancer for this Halloween: Page if Swords

Meaning: Children playing or doing something spooky

Your spooky season omen or sign is children playing or doing something spooky as predicted by the mischievous Page of Swords. Watch them having fun and revelling in total make-believe. Remember when you did that too? Why did you stop? Why is make-believe fun or gaming only for children?

Cancer, you have a powerful imagination and creative sensibility. Let spooky season speak to that inner child and let him/her out to play. Celebrate the fantastical ideas you have and sink into them fully. Real life can wait.

Tarot card for Leo for this Halloween: Nine of Cups

Meaning: A bronze or golden lamp

Your spooky season omen or sign is a golden lamp as predicted by the wish-granting Nine of Cups. I am getting genie in a lamp vibes! Look for something old, tarnished, weird. Maybe in an antique window, maybe in a café, or on a high shelf.

When you see it, imagine there’s a genie inside and you can call to it with your mind and make your wish. This is between you and the lamp! Am I sounding weird? Well, it is spooky season, so why not. Lucky you, anyway, Leo, because you get to make a dream come true.

Tarot card for Virgo for this Halloween: The World

Meaning: A globe

Your spooky season omen or sign is a globe (3D or a map) as predicted by the globetrotting World card. Maybe this is your invitation to book the holiday or trip or journey of a lifetime, maybe to move home or location, maybe to go on more outings and see more of your own local area.

The World is also a card of endings which lead to new beginnings, a full cycle of transformation. Autumn is all about shedding the old, ready to grow new energy and ideas. So… let go.

Tarot card for Libra for this Halloween: Queen of Swords

Meaning: A moving female singer

Your spooky season omen or sign is hearing a very moving song or lyric sung by a female artist as predicted by the sharp, mentally alert Queen of Swords. Don’t go putting your Adele records on, let this happen naturally, maybe when listening to the radio in the car, or hearing a vocalist live in a pub.

Tarot card for Scorpio for this Halloween: Ten of Cups

Meaning: A couple that make you jealous

Your spooky season omen or sign is a gushing, happy, authentically in love couple that make you sigh as predicted by the happy-ever-after Ten of Cups. Now don’t think this is a criticism or attack on you and your love life, Scorpio.

This omen comes to you to soften your heart and prep you for your own romantic adventure. Maybe your partner has something to say or ask, maybe you’re about to meet your soul mate. This couple open your heart up to the idea of true love for a very good reason.  

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this Halloween: Three of Swords

Meaning: A raven

Your spooky season omen or sign is a raven (not a crow or jackdaw or magpie… a raven) as predicted by the betraying and harsh Three of Swords. It’s highly likely this won’t be IRL but via the TV or maybe a piece of taxidermy because ravens are rare.

I do think this omen is about the rarity of real betrayal or deliberate personal harm in your own life. A reminder that friends and family screw up, but not to hurt you, it’s their own messiness, chaos or pain driving the poor behaviour. Forgive what you can, let it go, move on with a clean slate. The raven protects itself but is also very wise. This is you.  

Tarot card for Capricorn for this Halloween: Six of Coins

Meaning: A lost wallet, purse, or money

Your spooky season omen or sign is a lost purse/wallet or bunch of money as predicted by the generous Six of Coins. You will find something valuable and what you then do will reflect on the good karma you receive throughout spooky season!

So, act like Lady Karma is watching (she is). Hand it in, find the owner, and if nothing is to be done then use it for something positive, charitable, helpful and altruistic. Be a good force in the world and good things will come to you.

Tarot card for Aquarius for this Halloween: Ten of Wands

Meaning: An unexpected nap

Your spooky season omen or sign is an unexpected nap as predicted by the exhausted Ten of Wands. I think this is likely you napping (perhaps falling asleep on a train or in the cinema) but it could be someone else, the thing that strikes you is that you didn’t expect it.

Now, if you do this and dream then write that dream down! If it’s someone else then go on your own mental escapade whilst they’re asleep and write your thoughts down. A new insight or idea with relevance and importance will occur to you when this weird lil’ event happens, like a message from the Land of Nod…

Tarot card for Pisces for this Halloween: The Empress

Meaning: A gift of flowers or plants

Your spooky season omen or sign is a beautiful gift of flowers or a plant as predicted by the naturally abundant Empress. When this gift is given, be enthusiastic and give the flowers pride of place. Take this as the token of love and affection it is, and let that relationship grow in importance.
