November Tarotscope

It was only natural to use The Gentle Tarot – Pocket Edition for the November Tarotscopes. I recently got this deck in and haven’t stopped playing with it since it arrived. I absolutely love the imagery (I’ve been a longtime fan of Mari’s work), and there’s something so delightful about this pocket-sized version in a tin. It appeals to the senses—neatly contained, perfectly portable, and the cards are just the right size for shuffling. I’ve just added The Gentle Tarot – Pocket Edition to my website. You can click here or any of the cards below to add one to your cart.

This month, I noticed many of the cards appeared reversed—and honestly, that didn’t surprise me. As we all work to navigate intense global stress and discord, our souls are growing and evolving in real time. Reversals, to me, represent discomfort—not because our Guides are trying to annoy us, but because they’re trying to get our attention. Sometimes we have to be pushed to extremes before we finally move.

I hope this month you heed the gentle advice of the Universe and find a softer way forward. While it’s important to stay informed, try your best to limit your exposure to mainstream media. The fear-mongering is intense, and it disrupts your personal peace. Instead, look for positive, grounded ways to make a difference—in your own evolution and in the lives around you. That’s how the world truly changes: when each of us keeps choosing peace, kindness, and presence, again and again.

Hey, Scorpio love, let’s talk about that Root of Thunder in reverse (that’s our Knight of Swords taking a backseat). Normally, the Knight of Swords is your fierce, cutting-through-the-BS energy—snip, snip, out with what doesn’t serve. But reversed? It’s like asking: why the deep cuts, Scorpio? What’s the real goal behind wielding that sword so intensely?

We get it—this is your season of brimstone and intrigue, and we adore your dark, mysterious vibe. But maybe, just maybe, this reversal is a little cosmic nudge to drop the defenses and let a softer side shine through. You don’t always have to be the mysterious enigma—sometimes showing a gentler you is the real power move. Let this November be about reassessing those defense mechanisms and letting a little lightness in.

Hey, Sag, let’s chat about that Flower of Wands in reverse (aka the Queen of Wands taking a little breather). When she’s upright, she’s all about passion, fire, and stepping fully into your unique gifts. But reversed, it’s like your inner flame is a bit dimmed. And here’s the question for you this November: are you living your dream, or the dream of all the voices that came before you, telling you who you “should” be?

We’re in a time of transmuting the old systems, letting the patriarchy crumble, and embracing that wild-woman energy that they used to whisper about. Think of it as your cue to be your fiercest, most unapologetic self—just like a certain trailblazing woman they once called “too much.” We need you in full Sag form, blazing bright and leading the way.

Capricorn, your card this month is Justice — and while yes, it’s about fairness and truth, it’s also about choices. The veil is thin right now, inviting you to visit with the ghost of Capricorn past. What decisions have shaped your journey? What crossroads stand before you now?

This isn’t about regret or self-criticism. It’s about honoring the strength it took to get here — every mountain you’ve climbed, every lesson you’ve earned. You’ve made powerful choices, and they’ve all carved the path that led you to this moment.

The message is simple but potent: always choose you. When you do, balance returns, and Justice finds her way home.

Aquarius, your card this month is The Lovers reversed — a mirror rather than a romance. It asks you to look closely at the reflection before you and notice where disharmony has crept in. Have you drifted from your values or surrounded yourself with energy that no longer feels aligned?

November invites a powerful moment of recalibration. It’s time to reassess what truly brings you joy versus what simply looks good on paper. Realign with your heart, release what’s out of tune, and remember — the greatest love story you’ll ever live is the one you write with yourself.

Pisces, your card this month is Strength — a reminder that true power doesn’t always roar. Lately, it seems like the world’s been testing your patience, and a few people may have rubbed you the wrong way. But here’s the truth: it’s not about you, it’s about them.

This November, your challenge is to stop jumping into every fray and to reclaim your calm. Strength isn’t found in reaction but in restraint — of pen, of tongue, of energy. Practice compassion, stay in your lane, and let grace be your quiet form of power.

Aries, your card this month is the Three of Wands, paired with the affirmation from The Gentle Tarot: “I create space as expansive as the horizon so that my decisions are met with the grace they deserve.” This month opens wide for you — fresh air, new horizons, and that electric spark of possibility you’ve been craving.

You’re stepping into a space of vision and momentum, ready to expand into the next chapter of your journey. There’s no force more unstoppable than an Aries with a plan or even a whisper of inspiration. Watch for portals and signs in sacred geometry — the universe is showing you the blueprint for what’s next.

Taurus, your card this month is the Seven of Wands, a call to stand your ground and reclaim your power. The fight isn’t over — you’re still in it, and your voice matters. Speak your truth boldly and let that quiet fire inside of you burn bright.

People often mistake your love of comfort and calm for complacency, but they underestimate your strength. This month reminds you just how resilient you are. Keep pushing forward, fight for what’s right, and show the world that beneath that velvet exterior lies pure determination.

Gemini, your card this month is the Ace of Wands reversed, and Spirit is asking: What wound dims your light? There’s a dream inside you that’s been waiting to break free, but something — old beliefs, fear, or the echoes of someone else’s voice — keeps holding you back.

This month is about reclaiming your creative spark. Don’t let imposter syndrome or outside noise convince you that you’re not ready. You are. Your passion, your ideas, and your truth are sacred. It’s time to turn that wand upright and let your brilliance shine.

Cancer, your card this month is the Four of Cups, showing up as a gentle warning. You’ve got to stop comparing yourself to others — checking how much liquid is in everyone else’s cup while forgetting how full your own already is. Seriously, stop scrolling through your ex’s socials or measuring your path against someone else’s timeline.

You’ve always danced to a different rhythm — empathic, sensitive, and wonderfully unique. This month, shift your gaze to the cups in your life that are full, full, full. Get creative with your gratitude and celebrate what’s yours. Your strength lies in being the outlier, the dreamer, the one who refuses to be a sheep.

I have so many magical Leos in my life—many of whom I count as close friends—so I’ll admit I was a little disheartened to pull this card for you. I even thought about reshuffling, but I resisted. The Three of Swords is the tarot’s symbol of pain and heartbreak, and as Lieselle wisely notes on her card: “honor the pain.”

As we move toward Samhain and the veil thins, October can stir up unexpected grief. Instead of resisting it, lean in. Allow yourself that deep, ugly cry if you need it. Then, honor your emotions by engaging in rituals that connect you with those who have passed. I’ve always loved the Mexican traditions of Día de los Muertos, where families set plates at the table and build altars to celebrate their loved ones. It’s one of the few cultures that treats death not as a burden, but as a celebration of life.

Virgo, you pulled the Root (Page of Wands), and this card is a glowing invitation to follow your passions wherever they lead — even if the path is messy, nonlinear, or downright chaotic. You live in a world of structure, organization, and precision, and while those gifts serve you beautifully, they can also box you in. The Page of Wands reminds you that creativity is wild magic. It refuses to fit into tidy charts or color-coded systems. It asks you to leap, experiment, follow impulses, and trust that the spark inside you knows where it’s going long before your schedule does.

Think of a Michelin-star chef presenting a dish with gold leaf, smoke, and pure alchemy — the final result looks flawless, but it was born from a thousand messy experiments in the test kitchen. Virgo, you rarely allow yourself that test kitchen phase. You want to perfect it before you’ve even begun. But November says: start anyway. Play. Try things. Let yourself screw up, start over, and surprise yourself. Your soul is craving freedom, fire, and exploration. This is your month to stop planning creativity and actually experience it.

Libra, you pulled the Six of Stones (Six of Pentacles), and in the Gentle Tarot this card lands with a tender message about reciprocity. While the traditional Rider–Waite–Smith image emphasizes charity and giving, here the energy feels softer, more balanced — an invitation to receive as much as you offer. And you, sweet Libra, are always giving. You’re the friend who shows up, the partner who pours in, the healer who holds space for others without hesitation. But the scales are tipped, and November calls you to let others give back to you. Let support find you. Let care reach you. Let the universe replenish what you’ve poured out.

This month also invites a deeper question: why is it so hard for you to center yourself? Sometimes your generosity isn’t just kindness — it’s a distraction. A way to focus on everyone else so you don’t have to sit with your own needs, wounds, or desires. There’s nothing wrong with being giving; the world needs your heart. But when you do it constantly, you lose pieces of yourself in the process. November is your moment to pause, receive, and allow the scales to balance. You deserve equal exchanges, mutual care, and relationships where your needs matter, too.
