This Friday 13th, here’s the cosmic omen your star sign should look out for
September 13, 2024 is a Friday, meaning it’s lumbered with the label of ‘unlucky’ in the eyes of the superstitious.
Prior to the 1800s, the notion that Friday 13th was unlucky didn’t really exist aside from some Norse mythological and religious connotations of 13 being a misfortunate number.
Then, during the 19th century, the idea that this day was strewn was bad omens came about from several plays and stories across Europe. And the idea took root, caught fire, spread, and implanted itself in our popular culture.
Essentially, looking at the belief’s somewhat overinflated origins, there’s really nothing to fear – and in fact, when it comes to astrology, Friday 13th is just like any other day.
So instead, let’s use this energy to see this day as one of omens, but not omens of impending doom or or bad luck, but omens that act as little friendly ‘nudges’ in our life to get us back on track, heading in the right direction, doing what we ought to.
I will use the tarot cards to draw out a sign or omen for each astrological sign, look out for it on the 13th, and when you encounter it, put the step described into action!
Aries
March 21 to April 20
What Aries should look out for this Friday 13th: A bright light (The Hermit)
Meaning: Aries, your sign or omen to look out for today is a very bright light. The Hermit’s symbol is a lantern representing enlightenment, the glow of knowledge in the dark chaos of life. When you notice a sparkling, glowing, bright light near to you (be it a lamp, a sign, the sun, or a sparkle off some water), be still and calm and clear your mind. See what floats to the surface.
Seek solitude as soon as you can after seeing the light and sit quietly with your thoughts… an amazing insight will emerge!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
What Taurus should look out for this Friday 13th: Cinnamon (Death)
Meaning: Taurus, your sign or omen to look out for today is the autumnal scent of cinnamon, be it from a perfume, drink, food item, room fragrance or random unknown waft! The Death card is about transformation and change, often linked to the idea of the phoenix rising from the ashes, the ultimate rebirth. And phoenixes made their nests with cinnamon bark.
So… when you smell that smell, then you’re close to either the person, place, idea, or situation that is going to offer powerful and lasting change in your life!

Leo

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
What Virgo should look out for this Friday 13th: Spilt liquid (Eight of Cups)
Meaning: Virgo, your sign or omen to look out for today is spilt liquid – could be a cup of tea, an overflow at the sink, a dropped vase, a puddle that runs over the kerb.
The Eight of Cups is linked to the water element and its message is about accepting disappointment, processing it, and then putting it to bed so you can get to the next opportunity. Some new amazing opening is very close, just around the corner, but you need to put something unworthy to bed first. Seeing the spilt liquid will remind and prompt you.

Meaning: Libra, your sign or omen to look out for today is a laughing child, particularly if they’re playing or drawing/making something in the process – could be IRL or on TV or in an advert.
The Page of Cups is bringing you a raw, unfiltered creative idea that could turn into something magical, with refinement and effort. The raw material will occur to you today so seize that moment, it will be connected to the laughing child somehow!

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
What Scorpio should look out for this Friday 13th: Arguing people (Five of Wands)
Meaning: Scorpio, your sign or omen to look out for today is an argument, between two or more people; nothing violent or onerous, just petty and squabbly (we all like to listen in to such things, right?).
The Five of Wands shows that engaging with someone else’s drama for that moment will trigger you to think of a feud of your own… and maybe how you want to resolve it. You are proud and your ego can stop you from healing rifts with others. But this is one you want to repair. So get to it today.

Meaning: Sagittarius, your sign or omen to look out for today is a striking, moving, memorable, inspiring turn of phrase, rhyme, saying or quote that resonates deeply with you. Write it down!
The Magician is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, and is inventive, quicksilver, great with words. And words stir us up, they trigger ideas, they strike a chord and unleash something inside. You are naturally creative and a great turn of phrase will unleash a new idea in you today! Listen up!

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
What Capricorn should look out for this Friday 13th: Siren (Justice)
Meaning: Capricorn, your sign or omen to look out for today is a loud, invasive siren sound, be it a fire alarm, fire engine, buzzer, or signal in the workplace. When that sound resonates for you, the notion or memory of a crisis will echo in your mind. Something where you needed (and received) help and assistance to cope with it.
This memory will trigger you to think of someone you know right now that needs support, maybe facing an injustice or unfair situation… and you, practical Capricorn, can help them. So, do!

Aquarius

What Aquarius should look out for this Friday 13th: Weird vehicle (The Chariot)
Meaning: Aquarius, your sign or omen to look out for today is a weird vehicle (be it a colour, a model, an old-fashioned relic, a creative invention). The Chariot is about going places, purpose, direction. Setting a goal and striving to reach it.
When you see this weird vehicle, you may be visited with the notion of using an unorthodox or equally weird way of getting where it is that you want to go! The muse will visit you with a strange plan, and you must write it down and sleep on it. Clarity will emerge. This will make the difference.
