Yes, I shuffled. I always shuffle. Three signs still landed the same oracle card, and two cards from last week turned up again. One of them landed on the very same sign.
Last week the cards were all about speaking your truth and feeling empowered. This week is a far contrast. It’s about paying attention, accepting help and finding your footing on the inside. There’s some heartache in the mix, a couple of reality checks, and a few signs being told to trust their gut.
This is the last week of the Rider-Waite-Smith series. We’ve seen the moment before each scene, the scene itself, and what comes after. This week’s deck pulls the camera back. The RWS Panorama Tarot keeps Pamela Colman Smith’s original scenes and stretches them into wide landscapes, so we finally see what was outside the picture all along. Some cards have a lot going on out there. Some just have more sky.
This one covers Sunday, November 1 to Saturday, November 7, 2026. The decks are the RWS Panorama Tarot from Deckstiny, by Mate Horonumber with artwork by Oomsin PP. and Hpn.boo, built around Pamela Colman Smith’s original scenes, and the Messages of Life Cards by Mario Duguay.
Read your rising sign first, then your sun sign, and see how the two fit together.

Card for Everyone
Judgement
The trumpet is sounding. This scene plays like a sci-fi movie, where everyone wakes from their pods because danger is ahead. Chaos and a few challenges hang in the air this week. A ship on the water is calling out a warning. A big wave is rolling in, and those icy mountains look a lot like an iceberg. Ask the Titanic how that went. Judgement is about hearing the call and answering it honestly. When the warning signs show up, don’t wave them off. Take a good look and deal with what you see.
Your words for this week: “I’m awake, and I’m listening.”
♈ Aries
10 of Cups and Attaining Peace
Aries, with fall not quite here yet and the weather still unusually warm, it’s time to spend with loved ones and enjoy it. As this expanded 10 of Cups shows, with the picnic basket waiting at the edge of the scene, a vacation in nature is essential. You’re usually charging ahead to the next thing. This week, slow down long enough to enjoy what you’ve built.
Attaining Peace is a fitting card here. It says the riches you find within are worth more than all the wealth of the outside world. The experiences you share with the people close to you are part of those riches. Cherish them. That’s how you reach the highest spiritual experience.
Your words for this week: “The people I love are my real wealth.”
♉ Taurus
5 of Pentacles and Step by Step
Taurus, don’t walk away from support that might be offered to you. The 5 of Pentacles is all about being willing to receive support when things aren’t going so well. In this wider view, the church wall stretches on with its lit windows, and the two figures keep walking right past them. Help is closer than it looks. You’d rather handle everything yourself, and that stubborn streak can keep you out in the cold longer than you need to be.
Step by Step is about surrendering and taking small steps. It reminds you there’s wisdom in letting go of control. Nothing has to come to you all at once. Remember, taking things one step at a time is far better than expecting giant leaps. Slow and steady is how you do your best work anyway.
Your words for this week: “I can accept help and still stand on my own.”
♊ Gemini
Wheel of Fortune and Letting Go
Gemini, this week it’s time to get your head out of the clouds. In this wider Wheel of Fortune, clouds fill every direction, and the wheel floats right up there with them. There is nothing wrong with dreaming big, but realistic expectations are in order this week. Your mind is always busy with a dozen ideas at once. Pick the ones that can actually land. The wheel keeps turning whether you push it or not.
Letting Go asks you to let go of those expectations and let God, or the divine, provide the steps you need to reach your dreams. The card reminds you that you aren’t facing your difficulties alone. Release the need to plan every turn. That’s where your inner peace comes back.
Your words for this week: “I dream big and keep my feet on the ground.”
♋ Cancer
3 of Swords and Overcoming
Cancer, disappointment or heartbreak is the energy around you this week. Your tender heart isn’t being hit in one specific area. In this wider 3 of Swords, the rain falls across the whole scene, and it’s raining down hard on you. You’re usually the one looking after everyone else’s feelings. This week, give your own some room.
Overcoming is a sign that once the hurt eases and the sun comes out, it’s time to reflect on the disappointment and the hurt. Acknowledge your fears and your anger. That’s how you overcome them and let the light in. The card calls it taking charge of your inner kingdom, and nobody knows how to look after a home better than you.
Your words for this week: “I let myself feel it, and then I let the light in.”
♌ Leo
10 of Swords and Hope
Leo, you might feel betrayed this week, and the 10 of Swords brings darkness to the week's energy. Still, look along the horizon in this wider view. The first yellow light of morning stretches all the way across it. That’s the positive side of the 10 of Swords. It’s the end of a cycle, so you can get up and start a new one. You’re loyal to a fault, which is why a letdown cuts you deeper than most.
Hope asks you to have faith in God or the divine to help you through the week. The card says to trust your true nature. As the sign ruled by the Sun, you know better than anyone that the light always comes back.
Your words for this week: “This ends here, and I get back up.”
♍ Virgo
6 of Cups and Overcoming
Virgo, it’s time to step out of the shadows and reconnect with your past for support and advice. In this wider 6 of Cups, there’s a bench sitting in the shade under the trees, while the sharing of cups happens out on the sunny street. An old friend, a family member or a mentor who knew you back when could have just the advice you need. You’re usually the one fixing things for everyone else. Let someone return the favour.
Overcoming asks you to reflect inward and practise some self-discovery. But you also need to overcome your fears and tap into others to support you on your journey and build your dreams. Doing it all yourself isn’t the only right way to do it.
Your words for this week: “I don’t have to figure it all out alone.”
♎ Libra
Knight of Cups and The Inner Sense
Libra, this week you are offering your heart with confidence. In this wider view of the Knight of Cups, his horse is about to step across the stream without a second thought. That’s how you get past the obstacles in your way, by trusting your intuition. You like to weigh every side and hear everyone’s opinion before you move. This week, your own read is the one that counts.
The Inner Sense asks you to quiet the noise in your head long enough to hear the voice of your heart. Your intuition is your divine truth, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. The more you trust it, the more confidence you develop in it.
Your words for this week: “I trust what my heart already knows.”
♏ Scorpio
2 of Wands and The Inner Sense
Scorpio, this week is about expanding your horizons. In the 2 of Wands, what you’ve already established sits on the right, a whole village. Now you’re willing to look beyond it to expand your empire, or your life situation. The birds overhead are your scouts, sent out to see what the world has to explore. You’re a strategist by nature, and you like to know the lay of the land before you make a move.
The Inner Sense reminds you to trust your intuition and your gut feelings as you explore how to build on what has already unfolded. Your instincts are sharper than most. Quiet the noise and listen.
Your words for this week: “I trust my gut and look past the wall.”
♐ Sagittarius
2 of Swords and Awareness
Sagittarius, this week you’re facing a decision without all the facts. With the 2 of Swords, you’re balancing the pros and cons while blindfolded. In this wider view, the water behind her is dotted with rocks she can’t see. You’d normally take the leap and figure it out on the way. This time, it pays to sit with it a little longer.
Awareness reminds you to open up your consciousness to your true self. Trust your intuition to show you the limitations or illusions in front of you. The card talks about freeing yourself from conflict, and for a truth seeker like you, seeing clearly is how you get there.
Your words for this week: “I see clearly before I choose.”
♑ Capricorn
Knight of Pentacles and The Inner Sense
Capricorn, this week it’s time to venture out and promote your idea or business. The Knight of Pentacles is poised and ready to push ahead into the unknown. In this wider view, the hay is already baled at the farm behind him, so the groundwork at home is done. Nobody puts in the work like you do, Capricorn. Now it’s time to let people see it.
The Inner Sense says to trust your heart and your passion, and develop your intuition. Notice the purple running through the field ahead of the Knight. It’s the colour of intuition, and it’s right where he’s riding. You usually lead with your head and a solid plan. This week, let your heart have a say too, and trust yourself. Capricorn, you got this!
Your words for this week: “My work is ready to be seen.”
♒ Aquarius
7 of Cups and I Reap What I Sow
Aquarius, you’re faced with a lot of options this week with the 7 of Cups. You pulled this card last week too, and you’re still looking at all those cups. But in this wide-angle scene, there’s a new presence: a baby angel up in the clouds, saying “Hey, look here,” trying to get your attention. Your mind is always racing ahead to the next big idea, so the shiny ones are easy to chase. It’s time to trust in the divine, not the distractions or illusions, to help you move forward.
I Reap What I Sow cuts both ways, Aquarius. If you get tempted by illusions and distractions, you fall prey to them. Or heed the message on the card and fill your life with thoughts and deeds of abundance, light and love. That’s where the greatest riches are.
Your words for this week: “I follow the light, not the shiny things.”
♓ Pisces
5 of Swords and Master of My Life
Pisces, selfishness may have gotten the better of you this week, as shown by the 5 of Swords. What did you accomplish by thinking about yourself before others? Two boats appear in this scene, and the others are getting off your island. That’s not like you, Pisces. You’re usually the first to put everyone else ahead of yourself, so a win that leaves you standing alone doesn’t sit well.
Master of My Life reminds you to have your ego step aside so you can align yourself by trusting your inner voice. That’s how you become the master of your life, with humility, grace and love, not by collecting swords.
Your words for this week: “I’d rather keep my people than win the fight.”
Wrap Up
Now that you’ve read yours, here’s what stood out to me.
When I pulled Judgement for everyone, I wasn’t thinking about the US midterms on Tuesday, tech stocks taking a beating, or the UK telling people to keep three days of water and canned goods on hand. Then I looked at the news. The warning horns were already blowing.
Two cards came back from last week. The 2 of Swords was Capricorn’s last week, and this week it slid one sign over to Sagittarius. If you’ve been sitting on a decision, the cards have noticed. And Aquarius, the 7 of Cups is yours for the second week running, so that baby angel is waving for a reason. On the oracle side, The Inner Sense showed up for Libra, Scorpio and Capricorn, and Overcoming went to both Cancer and Virgo. Cups and Swords split the signs evenly, four each, so it’s your heart and your head having it out this week.
In the sky, the Last Quarter Moon in Leo lands Sunday afternoon, a good time to let go of what’s run its course. Fitting, since Leo pulled the 10 of Swords. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio and Venus is retrograde in Libra all week, so review before you rush. On Wednesday, Mercury sits in the heart of the Sun, which many astrologers read as a moment of clarity in the middle of the retrograde. And the clocks fall back Sunday, at least for some of us. Ontario, Quebec, the Atlantic provinces and most of the US get an extra hour of sleep with Judgement’s wake-up call. B.C., Alberta, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories are staying put this year, and Saskatchewan and Yukon already do. If you’ve got a call with someone in another province, double-check the time. One more for the tarot nerds: in the old decan system, most of this week falls under the 6 of Cups, and Virgo pulled it.
That wraps up the four-week Rider-Waite-Smith series. Thanks for coming along.
That’s the week. Take what fits and leave the rest. These readings are guidance and something to think with, not predictions.
If you’d like a reading of your own, you can book one here. You’ll find everything else I do at dustarot.com.
See you next Friday.
