Tarot Tuesday: The Turnaround, Four Cards for the Middle of Two Retrogrades

Tarot Tuesday hairpin spread: Eight of Wands, The High Priestess, The Sun and The Chariot laid out in a hairpin turn

Tomorrow, the Sun meets Mercury retrograde at 12° Scorpio. Saturday, the Moon covers Venus retrograde in Libra. What do you understand now about a conversation, relationship, or decision you’ve been revisiting?

For this unusual stretch, we laid four cards in a hairpin turn: down one side, around the bend, and back up the other.

1. Top left, the way in: What you said yes to in September and October
2. Bottom left, the hidden stretch: What you’ve wanted to say since, but haven’t
3. Bottom right, the turn: The aha moment on Wednesday
4. Top right, the way out: Your next move as both planets turn direct on the 13th

The two top cards face each other across a gap. One shows where you started. The other shows how you want to move forward. What needs to change for you to get there?

🐐 TOP LEFT, THE WAY IN: Eight of Wands

The Eight of Wands points to a quick yes, a message sent, or a plan made in September or October before you had all the details.

🐆 BOTTOM LEFT, THE HIDDEN STRETCH: The High Priestess

The High Priestess points to something you’ve kept to yourself since the retrogrades began: a doubt about an agreement, a feeling about someone, or a money concern.

🦁 BOTTOM RIGHT, THE TURN: The Sun

The Sun points to a chance to clear things up as the Sun meets Mercury on Wednesday. Ask the question you’ve been avoiding or explain what’s been bothering you.

🐈 TOP RIGHT, THE WAY OUT: The Chariot

The Chariot asks you to choose your next step as Mercury and Venus turn direct on November 13. Decide which plan or agreement still works for you and what needs to change.
