Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, author of The Saturn Diaries, tarot reader to the stars, and guest blogger for our popular Career Tarotscopes series, is back with another installment of tarotscopes tailored for business leaders. She consulted her cards to provide an in-depth analysis of the upcoming quarter for tech and other leaders alike¡ªfocusing on management, leadership, and all things personal development. So what¡¯s in the cards for the fourth quarter of 2025?
Q4 starts with a bang thanks to the full moon in Aries on October 6. This lunation reignites bold energy that allows many signs to push forward with initiatives that may¡¯ve stalled during the late summer retrogrades. Venus enters Libra on October 13, helping us refine branding, messaging, and interpersonal dynamics, both internally and with clients. The new moon in Libra on October 21 marks a perfect time to restructure and relaunch offerings that need a bit of a refresh and double-down on aesthetic alignment before the Sun enters Scorpio on October 22. This Scorpio season will ask us to dig beneath the surface for new inspiration and more meaningful partnerships. Mercury¡¯s move into Sagittarius on October 29 helps us expand our reach and communicate bold ideas, while Halloween/Samhain on October 31 ushers in a powerful portal for personal and professional reinvention.
November carries dual themes of manifestation and recalibration. The month opens with a full moon in Taurus on November 5, reminding us to intentionally create systems that match the financial goals we¡¯re calling in, while Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (starting November 9) requires edits to travel plans, contracts, and messaging. Fortunately, the new moon in Scorpio on November 19 creates a potent window to clarify our roadmaps for Q1 of 2026 behind the scenes. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, and Mercury goes direct in Scorpio on November 29, offering the green light to move forward with confidence in our newly refined direction and to get a head start before the holiday mode is in full effect.
December invites us to reimagine our trajectory for 2026. The full moon in Gemini on December 4 brings clarity to lingering decisions. When Neptune stations direct in Pisces on December 10, we gain insight into where we can find more purpose in our work related to the goals we¡¯re setting. Mid-month, we receive a needed boost when Mars enters Capricorn on December 14, helping us implement plans with decisive precision. Finally, the Sagittarius new moon on December 19 and the Winter Solstice on December 21 give us the energy and ambition to commit to our next chapter before we go into vacay/out-of-office mode.
This is a quarter for thoughtful courage: speak boldly, revise thoroughly, and move intentionally.
Aries/Aries Rising (March 21 to April 19)
Lean In: King of Wands: Reignite the Fire

Watch Out: Five of Pentacles: Don¡¯t Overcommit To Chase Results
When Mercury goes retrograde on November 9 ¨C November 29, be mindful of promises made in haste. Some collaborations may fall short or need renegotiation. Avoid overextending.

The Libra new moon on October 21 and Venus¡¯s Libra transit help clarify what clients and projects deserve your energy. Prioritize collaborations, team members, and initiatives that light you up versus feeling like what you ¡°should¡± want.

Watch Out: Two of Wands: Don¡¯t Miss the Bigger Opportunity

Remember: Judgement: You¡¯re Ready For the Next Level
The solstice on December 21 is a turning point. When most people are shutting down for the holidays, you¡¯re seeing end-of-year green lights as the results you¡¯ve been waiting for are on their way. Keep your eyes on your desired results.
Gemini/Gemini Rising (May 21 to June 20)
Lean In: Ace of Swords: Curiosity is Your Superpower
The full moon in your sign on December 4 reveals exciting new ways to communicate and lead. Though clients and colleagues are undeniably facing year-end fatigue, you have access to the right decision makers if you stay open to unconventional strategies.
Watch Out: Ten of Wands: You Don¡¯t Have to Do it All Solo
As the fourth quarter gets busy (especially around late November), avoid taking on others¡¯ responsibilities. Delegation is your key to thriving, even if it comes with the discomfort of surrendering control.
Remember: The Wheel of Fortune: Big Breakthroughs Ahead
The new moon in Sagittarius on December 19 gives your ruling planet, Mercury (now direct), a platform to shine. Opportunities you thought you missed or have been shelved are likely to resurface at this time.
Cancer/Cancer Rising (June 21 to July 22)
Lean In: The Chariot: Momentum Meets Alignment
Q4 starts with energized inspiration thanks to the Cancer-ruled Chariot card. After a period of putting out fires, you now feel more excited to go after the next level. October¡¯s Aries full moon on the sixth highlights your leadership potential to collaborators and/or executives you¡¯ve been hoping to impress.
Watch Out: Eight of Cups: Don¡¯t Fear Leaving Something Behind
Scorpio season (October 23 ¨C November 21) may bring endings, whether it¡¯s a client, project, or strategy that¡¯s no longer aligned. Walking away will result in rewards. The new moon on November 19 will bring you additional support with this decision.
Remember: Ace of Pentacles: Better Doors are Opening
By Capricorn season and the December 21 Solstice, you¡¯ll be grateful for what you¡¯ve recently released as you have time to say yes to new calls, meetings, and social events that bring solid, expansive opportunities your way.
Leo/Leo Rising (July 23 to August 22)

Watch Out: Seven of Cups: Focus is Key
November¡¯s Mercury retrograde (November 9¨C29) may bring distractions by way of too many opportunities. Though several projects may pique your interest, try to refrain from starting too many new things and instead focus on one or two that excite you and have meaningful long-term potential.
Remember: Strength: Consistency Wins
Your natural charisma can open almost any door, but Q4 reminds you that consistency and planning (especially around December 14 when Mars enters Capricorn) secure the long-term wins.
Virgo/Virgo Rising (August 23 to September 22)
Lean In: Six of Pentacles: Rebalance Your Energetic ROI
October, particularly Scorpio season at month’s end, asks you to reassess the give-and-take dynamic in collaborations and team structures. Who’s pulling their weight? Who’s draining the team? Now is the time to make necessary changes.
Watch Out: Nine of Swords: Don¡¯t Spiral Over Minor Miscommunications
The Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius, starting November 9, could throw off communication and/or travel schedules. Double-check everything and lean into tools that support mental clarity. If minor glitches occur, try not to dwell, as you have big wins coming by year end that need your full attention.
Remember: Queen of Cups: Emotional Intelligence Is Your Edge
By December 10, when Neptune stations direct, your intuition comes online stronger than ever. Use this clarity to finalize deals, set goals, and define your Q1 2026 focus.
Libra/Libra Rising (September 23 to October 22)
Lean In: Justice: Own Your Voice and Your Value
Your ruling planet, Venus, is at home in Libra this October, helping you shine. Justice reminds you that with the support of Venus and the sun in your sign, now is the time for you to advocate for yourself, whether that¡¯s a new title, role, or a higher rate.
Watch Out: Five of Swords: Watch for Passive-Aggressive Dynamics
Not everyone communicates as diplomatically as you do. During Mercury¡¯s retrograde this quarter (November 9¨C29), be mindful of manipulation tactics and misleading or unclear feedback. Your best defense is asking follow-up questions, even if you need to do so repeatedly, and CC other team members.
Remember: Three of Wands: You¡¯re Building Toward Something Better
The Sagittarius new moon on December 19 offers a launchpad moment. You can feel by mid-December that the progress you¡¯ve been craving is finally starting to unfold. Small steps and conversations that occur in December set up big wins for early 2026, so trust your long-range vision.
Scorpio/Scorpio Rising (October 23 to November 21)
Lean In: Death/Rebirth: Release the Past in Order to 老虎机游戏
Your season (beginning October 22) and the new moon in your sign on November 19 offer a powerful transformation window. Death reminds you to release old identities that no longer serve you, including roles you¡¯ve outgrown and can now delegate.
Watch Out: Three of Swords: Old Triggers are Messengers
Especially around Samhain (October 31) through Mercury Retrograde (November 9¨C29), avoid projecting past disappointments onto current situations. You¡¯re not the same person you were then. These brief setbacks in November are actually rearranging your calendar for big opportunities that will pay off from December onward.
Remember: Queen of Wands: Now is Your Time to Lead
Own your growth and take bold steps as we move into December. You¡¯re ready for a more empowered position, professionally and personally. Meetings and negotiations that take place in December are the gateway to what your throne will look like in the new year.
Sagittarius/Sagittarius Rising (November 22 to December 23)
Lean In: Temperance : Find Your Flow
Even though Q4 starts with Mercury in your sign, retrograde hits November 9, Temperance asks you to balance inspiration with grounded action. Though Sagittarians love to move fast, this quarter, you¡¯ll get farther by pacing yourself.
Watch Out: Knight of Swords: Don¡¯t Rush the Reveal
You may want to announce a launch or new collab ASAP. But Mercury retrograde reminds you to pause so you can deliver a more refined message. December is better for public-facing moves.
Remember: Nine of Cups: Stay Intentional and Remember it¡¯s All Coming Together
By the new moon in your sign on December 19, you¡¯ll feel momentum but in a more sustainable way. December is the time to focus on what brings joy, because Sagittarians are masters of knowing that when you¡¯re truly enjoying the process, abundance follows.
Capricorn/Capricorn Rising (December 22 to January 19)
Lean In: The Hierophant: Redefine the Rules
Your role as a mentor and/or architect of systems is more important than ever this quarter. Mars enters your sign on December 14, giving you the drive to shape new structures in your company or industry.
Watch Out: Page of Cups: Avoid Dismissing Unconventional Ideas
Just because something is unfamiliar doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s impractical. While playing devil¡¯s advocate and asking the hard questions is valuable, it¡¯s equally advantageous to stay open to inspiration in unlikely places, especially around the Gemini full moon (December 4).
Remember: The Sun: You Close the Year on a High Note
The Winter Solstice on December 21 shines a light on your achievements. While you tend to check your victories off and move on to the next goal on your list, the end of December asks you to celebrate 2025¡¯s successes. Your next chapter is already forming.
Aquarius/Aquarius Rising (January 20 to February 18)
Lean In: The Fool: Take the Risk
If the summer of 2025 pushed you toward playing it safer, Mercury in Sagittarius helps you dream bigger this quarter. The Fool wants you to follow that wild idea, the one that could shake things up in your company… or even within your industry.
Watch Out: Ten of Swords: Avoid Self-Sabotage Disguised as Discipline
Past disappointments may be in your ear, trying to talk yourself out of a leap, like sharing an unconventional idea or entertaining an out-of-the-box collaboration. Remember, you¡¯re in a new place now, and it¡¯s safe to take some risks.
Remember: The Empress: Expansion is Yours If You Trust It
The tail end of 2025 is your time, Aquarius. December asks you to think globally, scale intentionally, and share your ideas. Others are ready to follow your lead.
Pisces/Pisces Rising (February 19 to March 20)
Lean In: The Moon: Trust Your Inner Guidance System
Pisces are known as the most intuitive sign in the zodiac, but events in Q3 may have left you questioning yours. Good news arrives when Neptune stations direct in your sign on December 10, sharpening your intuitive abilities even more. Use it in your leadership and decision-making to set yourself up for a strong 2026.
Watch Out: 8 of Swords: Don¡¯t Overthink It
You may feel pulled between two equally magnetic choices in mid-November. Trust your gut and avoid polling too many others (this will only lead to further analysis paralysis). Your instincts are accurate.
Remember: Ace of Wands: A Spark Returns
By the new moon in Sagittarius on December 19, your motivation gets a reboot. Now is the time to close deals and finalize projects you might have been tempted to push until after the new year.
