Tarotscope For Today: Tuesday, October 20, 2026

Aries

Your Card: Five of Cups, Reversed

Giving yourself time and space to grieve is absolutely necessary, but you have to be wary of when it crosses the line into wallowing in your sadness. At some point, you’re going to have to start to pick up the pieces, even if it still hurts. You can’t wait until you’re completely healed to begin to move on. The heartbreak, ending, loss, failure, or disappointment that you experienced isn’t where it all ends. It’s the beginning of something new and wonderful. But you have to create space for it, Aries. 

Taurus

Your Card: Queen of Cups

How are you doing, Taurus? Really, how are you doing? Have you been taking care of yourself? The Queen of Cups is a sign that you need spiritual nourishment. This means spending some time prioritizing your mental and emotional health. Whether you need to set boundaries, partake in self-care, or be careful not to take on the energies of others, make an effort to foster more peace in your life. Maybe it’s just been a while since you’ve had a bit of what brings you true joy and emotional fulfilment. What is that? Try to incorporate more of it in your life. 

Gemini

Your Card: The Sun

This week brings great energy all around, Gemini. So, don’t be afraid to make yourself visible and take up space. You’re absolutely radiating, so put yourself out there. Take the first steps in embarking on that venture you’ve had on your mind for quite some time. Start bringing any ideas you’ve been sitting on to life. If there’s something you’ve been holding back, lay it all out on the table and live in your truth. Say yes to any opportunity that may present itself. Go out with your friends and celebrate being alive. Put out the energy you wish you to attract.

Cancer

Your Card: Strength

In times of great stress, it can be easy to let your emotions and impulses get the better of you. But it’s important to remember that instead of reacting and giving into your worst urges, you always have the power to respond. Instead of spiraling out or acting out, try to take a step back and find a place of deep calm. This is where you’ll be able to figure out your next step. There’s very little in life you can control, but you can control your actions. Now, do you want to act in a way that won’t benefit you, or in one that will be of service to you? You will get through this. You will find the answers. It’s just going to take some patience on your part. 

Leo

Your Card: Knight of Pentacles

Feeling this unsure about yourself isn’t characteristic of you, Leo. So, what gives? Yes, everyone struggles with insecurity and self-doubt every now and then, but you’ve been wallowing in it. It’s time you exit this pity party and start getting your groove back. Do whatever you have to do to regain your confidence. Instead of focusing on your failures, losses, or weaknesses, write out a list of your strengths and successes. If another person left you feeling this way, remind yourself that the only validation you need is found from within. Maybe you just need to fake it until you make it for a little while. So, get ready, get out there, and paint the town red. 

Virgo

Your Card: King of Swords, Reversed

Watch other people’s actions this week, Virgo – and your own. The King of Swords greets you in reverse to warn against manipulation, deceit, and abuse of power. Pay attention to how others are moving and be wary of any ulterior motives they may have. If you’re going through a hardship or struggle and are feeling tempted to act out alignment with your values to get yourself out of a tough spot, don’t. You will come to regret both the betrayal of others and of yourself. Instead, reach out for help and seek guidance, even if it’s daunting. 

Libra

Your Card: Three of Wands

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take initiative on a big idea or fully throw yourself into a certain endeavor, this is it, Libra. The Three of Wands encourages you to go after what you desire. This card encourages you to aim higher and dream bigger. Take this as permission from the Universe to do what you’ve always wanted to do. Apply for that job you’ve been eyeing. Sign the lease for that gorgeous apartment. Move across the country. Take your dream trip. Switch careers. Finally open the business you always said you would. Stop thinking, and start doing. 

Scorpio

Your Card: Two of Cups, Reversed

Uh oh, there’s some discord in your life, isn’t there, Scorpio? You might be feeling too proud to be the person who reaches out and addresses things, but it’s time that one of you finally does. So, lay everything out on the table. It’s important that you try to work through this conflict. Be honest about your feelings, even if it makes you feel vulnerable. Be receptive to hearing from the other party’s. The sooner you talk it out, the better you will feel, even if the resolution means parting ways.

Sagittarius

Your Card: The World, Reversed

It might feel like your universe has come crashing down, but trust that this isn’t the end of the world, Sagittarius. Sometimes things come to an abrupt end. Sometimes we lose the things that mean the most to us, whether it’s a relationship or our livelihood. But find comfort in the fact that there’s nowhere to go from here, but up. Yes, it’s going to be challenging for a while, but this isn’t going to be the thing to kill or break you. You will find another job. Heartbreak will lead to new love. After failure, you will become wiser and find success. Don’t let despair deceive you. Instead, hold on to hope and become determined. Find acceptance and closure. Pick yourself up. Keep it moving forward.  

Capricorn

Your Card: Ten of Wands

Shocker! You’ve been working way too hard, Capricorn. While it’s incredibly admirable to have your level of drive, it can also be your downfall at times. When was the last time you let yourself rest? Try taking it slower and easier this week. If not throughout Monday to Friday, then dedicate your entire weekend to nothing but rest and relaxation. Decompress. Indulge in self-care. Don’t think about work or your long to-do list. Pour a glass of wine and cozy up to one of your favorite movies. Take a bubble bath. Journal it out. Reconnect with yourself. 

Aquarius

Your Card: Eight of Wands, Reversed

If you’re feeling stuck or things have become stagnant, take this as your sign to take a beat. The best thing you can do when you’ve hit a roadblock is step back and regroup. With how much you have to do, it might feel counterintuitive, but remember that a job rushed is never a job well done. It’s okay to take a break. In fact, it’s necessary. Take some time to reevaluate your approach. Is there something you haven’t tried or could try doing a little differently? Do you need to look at things from a new angle? Is it the time to take a risk?

Pisces

Your Card: Five of Swords

The Five of Swords is a reminder to choose your battles wisely. Is the victory or revenge you seek worth the potential damage or collateral? Is it only going to make matters worse? Have you stopped to think about the part you’ve played in the situation? As tempting as it may be to react or implode on someone, make an effort to disengage. Gather your thoughts and feelings. Try hashing things out when you’re feeling calmer. Reflect on whether this matter or person really is worth your energy. Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply stand up for yourself or walk away.
