Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for the autumn equinox: Ten of Wands

Meaning: Pisces, you can take on too much – physically, emotionally and spiritually. You are the zodiac’s natural empath and this can lead you into tiring, toxic and even draining territory.

Look back at 2002 and spot the ‘emotional vampires’, in terms of people and situations, which have drained you of your good energy. Resolve to withdraw from them.

Make a vow to protect yourself more ardently as the year closes and you look ahead to what 2023 could bring. Put yourself first more often.
