Halloween’s origin  is based from the Celtic festival of Samhain. Samhain marks the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. The Celts believe that Samhain is a time when the boundaries between worlds can be crossed. A time when the Aos Si (fairies) and the dead can come to visit our world. The spirits are offered food and drink to honor them and hopefully in return they will help people get through the winter. So the Celts, especially their children, would disguise themselves to mix in with the fairy folk that roamed the earth during this day long festival.

This tradition is very useful for all of us, not only to honor the dead and nature spirits, but to investigate ourselves. The aspects that we don’t let society see or that we wished that we could try on just for a night. So I have added some ideas/personas for you to try out on Halloween based on your tarot card. Even if you don’t get dressed up, pretend to be that person for just an hour and see how that character could expand your own.

P.S. Remember, when signs have * it’s a big week for you.

Aries – Five of Pentacles – This week the Five of Pentacles’ challenge to you is to understand how to deal with limited resources.   Remember that resources and time ebb and flow like the tide. So, how do spend your time or resources when you find you don’t have a lot of either? Halloween Costume/Past Life- zombie or Hobo

*Taurus – Star – Hopefully, last week you made sure you are still on your desired path . If you are, then you just needed to check your supplies. If your path has changed, then you needed to ask – Am I going in a new direction, is this a detour, or am I lost? And if you didn’t do  last week’s check in, spend the first half of the week catching up. Because the Star is challenge you to now walk forward into your future with more energy and a new sense of hope. Halloween Costume/Past Life- Astronomer or Alien

Cancer – Queen of Swords – The Queen of Swords is continuing your focus on creating a flexible plan for the next two years.   She is the mistress of thinking, creating, and planning. She also challenges you to stand up for your goals and ideals. What you are planning may not be right for everybody but it is right for you, and in the end that will be right for them too. Halloween Costume/Past Life- Dress in drag, Joan of Arc, or Sir Galahad

Leo – Page of Swords – This week you need to scout out for information. The particulars you need to know will not be in the forefront. This is a week to research and dig deep for information. And remember last week’s advice? “There are little cycles within bigger cycles. The with every loss there is a gain – with every death there is growth.” That mindset will help guide your inquiries. Halloween Costume/Past Life- private eye, Sherlock Holmes, Ms. Marple

*Virgo – Fool – The Fool is here this week to remind you to go with the flow. Get Zen with yourself and where you are at.   This week smile at strangers, learn a joke or two, learn how to juggle two objects for fun, watch comedy shows or stand-up. Then to balance that out spend at least 10 minutes being in the moment and noticing what is going on around you without judgment. Both of these exercises will be good for your soul.  Halloween Costume/Past Life- Jester, Harley Quinn, any comedian,

Aquarius – Four of Cups – This is a week to spend some time looking inward, however, only a little bit.

It will help ground you while still filling your need to gain some space. Halloween Costume/Past Life- monk. priest, or nun
