Scorpio tarot card
Scorpio (23 October to 21 November) belongs to Death. Its element is Water and its ruling planet is Mars.
Scorpio belongs to Death, the card of endings, transition and release. It is a Water sign, and its ruler is Mars, whose card is The Tower. Death is rarely literal. It speaks of chapters closing so that others can begin. With The Tower beside it, the picture is of someone intense, who feels deeply and is not afraid of change.
The three decans of Scorpio
The three decans of Scorpio are the Five of Cups, the Six of Cups and the Seven of Cups. Born early in the sign, you might read the Five of Cups: focus on what is lost, while some cups still stand. Mid-sign may suit the Six of Cups, with memories and gentle generosity. Late in the sign, the Seven of Cups shows many possibilities and some fantasy, so sort the real from the imagined.
First decan: Five of Cups
Second decan: Six of Cups
Third decan: Seven of CupsStrengths
You are loyal, focused and brave with difficult feelings. You see through surfaces and you commit fully. People often rely on you in a crisis.
Challenges
You may hold on to hurt or keep your feelings private for too long. Death's lesson is to let go of what has run its course.
In love
In love you want depth, trust and honesty. You give a great deal once you feel safe. Try sharing small worries early, before they grow into silences.
At work
You do well in work that asks for research, focus and depth, such as investigation, healing, finance or strategy. You can see what is hidden in a problem. Delegate and trust others so that you do not carry every load alone.
Advice from the cards
Choose one thing to release this season. Making room is often the first step towards what comes next.
