Tarot Spread for Samhain, with Death as your anchor card
As we approach the shift from Libra to Scorpio season, which takes us from the energy of balance and harmony in The Justice card to the Death card. This next lunar cycle I like to affectionately refer to as unofficial shadow work month. Death asks us to look inward, to be brave during times of transition and remember everything we experience is part of its own season.
Death doesn’t have to feel heavy. It can be a celebration of life, of the many lives we live within our lifetime. Scorpio season, the Death card, the 8th house, whichever lens resonates for you most whispers the same message - surrendering control to find your power. Most of the things we cling to—old stories, grudges, beliefs about ourselves and the world are disempowering. Imagine, who you would be if you let them go?
It’s almost the end of 2024, a great time to take stock in how far you’ve come over the past ten months. Some questions to ponder in your journal:
-
What have you been working towards this year? Pull a card to represent your big dream and another card to represent where you are in the journey towards it. Notice the similarities and differences between these cards and pull a third card to act as the bridge between them to help you move closer to what you desire.
-
Where have you been controlling with clench fists and where have you been able to relax and allow the flow of divine timing?
-
What are you ready to let go of in order to make room for something new to flourish? The tarot spread below will help with this question.
