Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot cards for Taurus for September: Queen of Wands, The Chariot, Nine of Wands
Meaning: Wanderlust
You are definitely in the mood to travel, explore, wander, get lost for a while, and seek a new horizon. New landscape = new opportunities and energy.
The Chariot and Queen of Wands are both travel cards. You are keen to see more of the world around you, and there’s a purpose to it as well.
Maybe you’re thinking of moving, maybe you’re seeking a new perspective, maybe you want to reboot, recalibrate, maybe there are people you’d like to visit. Set your purpose.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot cards for Gemini for September: Temperance, Ace of Swords, The Devil
Meaning: Change of heart
You’ve felt very choppy recently, like you’ve fallen out of love with all your usual favourites, and you’re cross with people. This is because you yourself are changing, growing, shifting. And this process is almost complete.
Temperance sees you evolving into a new version of you! Life has changed, and it has taken you a while to adjust and find your feet.
The Devil reveals you’ve stopped doing old habits and self-limiting behaviours, you’ve been replacing outdated patterns with new, healthier ones. You are evolving. And it puts you at odds, sometimes, with others.
The Ace of Swords asks you to be honest, with yourself and others, about how and why you’ve changed and what the new normal is.
Don’t hide it, this is a good change. Others will accept it. Let them know what’s been going on with you.

The Ten and Eight of Coins sees you working really hard to make a long-term, practical improvement in your world, this could be related to work, home, money or health.
Now is the time to dig in and push on, not give up or take a break. The rewards here are worth every ounce of effort, even though I know you feel a bit tired.
The Seven of Swords warns you against listening to those who might try to undermine this project of yours, maybe because of jealousy or that they see you moving out of their reach. Don’t listen to them telling you to slow down, stop, take a break. Keep going.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot cards for Virgo for September: Four of Coins, The Empress, Ten of Wands
Meaning: Be kind to yourself
Virgo, you’ve been working too hard, taking on too much, and overthinking again… and it’s leading to burnout. Stop immediately. Scale it back and be super nice to yourself.
The Four of Coins shows you’re in a rut, a static routine, a limiting schedule. You are literally being hemmed in by your chores, to-do list, tasks, and commitments… and it’s getting boring (at best) and exhausting (at worst).
The Ten of Wands is a signal that burnout could be hovering nearby. You need to take action and lighten the load. Now.
The Empress recommends self love and care. Scaling back your chores, streamlining your commitments, making space and room for yourself. Planning treats, indulgences, pampering, entertainment, social fun, leisure, long walks, good food, daydreaming, music and dance.
All the best things in life… you deserve them.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot cards for Scorpio for September: Four of Wands, Ten of Cups, Ace of Coins
Meaning: A brilliant new friendship
Feels like you’re going to start a friendship this month that has the potential to bring amazing rewards and opportunities into your life. It’s often who, rather than what, you know.
The Ten of Cups and Ace of Coins combine to reveal a new relationship is emerging in your world (you are a very private person, so you choose your friends carefully, they don’t come along that often). It could be a romance, but I veer to friendship. This is more than just a nice bond though, it will enhance your life.
The Four of Wands shows this person could bring new work or career opportunities to you, maybe even a location change, maybe a greater sense of self confidence.
We are shaped by the people we spend time with and this person is a massively positive influence. Invest in this relationship.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot cards for Sagittarius for September: Knight of Cups, Six of Cups, Seven of Coins
Meaning: The past returns
Someone from the past, someone you loved, is going to return to your life this month, either emotionally or physically, and their presence (or vivid memory) will trigger a change.
The Six of Cups is a major nostalgia card and usually a signal that someone you loved in going to make a comeback (could be a lover, friend, or family member). Someone you have lost touch with. The Knight of Cups hints at lover.
And the good news is that their return will be positive, welcome and create joy. It is likely to be literal, physical return… but it could be a vivid memory or echo that feels just as important.
The Seven of Coins reveals this return will trigger a change in your life, a shift of emotion, a new idea, a different plan of action. Be open to this. It’s significant and necessary.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot cards for Capricorn for: Queen of Cups, Strength, Nine of Swords
Meaning: Taking good care of you
You are going to realise you can’t pour from an empty jug this month, Cap, and that pushing yourself even harder isn’t the answer. Self-care is the answer.
The Nine of Swords sees you privately worrying about something you’re reluctant to open up about and, deep within, it’s getting out of proportion.
Strength urges you to tackle this fear. Most of it is just vapour and when you say the words out loud… it will all evaporate.
The Queen of Cups asks you to prioritise taking better care of yourself mentally and emotionally. Acknowledging your feelings. Pausing to rest, talk, meditate, list and tackle private anxieties, addressing issues that keep you up at night.
Don’t keep sweeping things under the carpet… clean them up properly and feel a million times better.

Meaning: It’s time to leave
Major signals that you’re ready to make a break, depart, move on, and wave goodbye. This is not an overtly sad occasion because you are so ready for this.
The Five of Wands shows you have felt at odds with others, irritated, stressed, and conflicted recently. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to last, this was all a signal. Trying to focus your attention on something that no longer serves you well.
The Six and Ten of Swords are both powerful cards of departure. You must cut ties with something or someone this September, it’s time, you’re ready, this is not going to improve or change… make that cut now before you get dragged deeper under the wave.
