The stars and planets have spoken, and September is jam-packed as is. But you may be able to wedge in your own ambitions and expectations if you know what to look for!
First, Pluto will enter grounding and goal-oriented Capricorn on September 1st, immediately pushing us into a state of transformative, powerful energy that prompts us to seriously examine our plans.
That’s not the only Earthy energy out and about, though, as Mercury will enter Virgo on the 9th, propelling our thoughts and conversations into a more productive, streamlined state.
Plus, with a Lunar eclipse in emotionally-attuned Pisces taking place this month on the 17th, we have plenty of transits and astrological events here that demand our full attention. It’s time to get to business and connect with the true depths of our heart’s desires!
To prepare for the whirlwind that is this month of September, we’ve asked the Tarot for help and guidance (with one Major Arcana and one Minor Arcana card each).
Your September 2024 Tarotscopes
Aries
The Devil & 3 of Swords
Aries, this set of cards is no joke, and you’ll need to buckle in for the ride.
The Devil and the 3 of Swords both have quite the reputation for their intense, emotional, and pain-ridden presences.
However, they also illuminate essential underlying truths in our lives, bring forth unexpected clarity and catharsis, and connect us more authentically with our emotional and unconscious selves.
Prepare to look inward, take care of yourself, and listen to the movements of your heart.
Taurus
The Lovers & 4 of Wands (Reversed)
Taurus, love is in the air, but it doesn’t always feel the way you may expect it to.
With The Lovers on the table, your connections with others and truest feelings about your loved ones are what comes under the spotlight this September.
However, the 4 of Wands reversed hints that the original foundations and points of stability for your relationships may suddenly feel unfamiliar and shaky. Although this month is important for paying attention to your loved ones, it can still somehow feel difficult to connect with them in a fun way.
Remember that there are multiple ways to love and cherish those close to you and that you may have to seek an unconventional route to show your appreciation.
Gemini
Justice & Knight of Cups (Reversed)
Gemini is finding balance in the face of emotional uncertainty.
Although the Knight of Cups reversed complicates your ability to express your feelings properly and also can create mix-ups with emotional boundaries, you’re finding your way with Justice nonetheless.
With this sign of the scales, you’re prioritizing your core values and finding balance between the emotional and the logical so that you can know clarity in both areas of life.
It’s not an easy task at hand, but you’re a bright, adaptable sign that is more than capable of handling it!
Cancer
The Hermit & King of Cups
Cancer is sitting in the true power known to most introverts!
In all seriousness, The Hermit and the King of Cups collectively create a powerhouse of emotional intelligence, worldly knowledge, self-reflection, and inner peace.
You are called to tap into these strengths of yours and use them for the good of yourself and those around you.
There is more than one way to be a leader, and sometimes it’s not about who has the loudest voice… but perhaps the wisest or most empathetic one.
Leo
The High Priestess & 8 of Wands (Reversed)
Leo, slow down and listen closely… to yourself.
The 8 of Wands reversed notes that it may be tempting this month to rush into life with a fast and furious attitude, ready to get things done and say what’s on your mind.
However, The High Priestess here is a card of powerful, intuitive insights and inner expertise — not to be dismissed!
If you slow down, pay attention to the synchronicities around you, and note how you intuitively respond, you may find that the most productive energy actually lies within.
Virgo
The Sun & 9 of Swords (Reversed)
Virgo, happiness is here, and it begins with you.
The 9 of Swords reversed shows you rejecting and putting away any lingering anxieties and worries that you have been harboring for far too long.
Coupled with The Sun, this month is all about stepping back into your sense of joy. Your inner child’s dreams and sense of identity are bubbling back to the surface, ready to be prioritized.
It’s safe to show up authentically, Virgo. Let your inner light shine!
Libra
The Tower & Ace of Cups
Libra, let the old fall away, and the new will take its place.
The Tower has a bad reputation for its typical meanings of destruction and turmoil, but know that it’s only here to clear out what is not meant for you. Yes, this month contains its fair share of chaos, but it’s for a greater good.
What might that be? Well, the Ace of Cups hints that, for some, this is a new relationship on the horizon. For others, an era of love and creativity in general is being ushered in.
The transition may be difficult, but this is why we hold onto that saying… “trust the process.” Something good awaits on the other side.
Scorpio
The Hierophant & 7 of Cups (Reversed)
Scorpio, your monthly advice is this: when indecision knocks, fall back on age-old solutions.
You’re attempting to shake off inner confusions and illusions with the 7 of Cups reversed, although it’s easier said than done. Indecision and second-guessing have a way of popping up repeatedly, even when you shake them off one or two times.
Our recommendation? The Hierophant suggests that you may find success with tried-and-true methods that have led you to prosperity in the past.
Don’t overthink it. There is a time and a place for tradition, listening to your old teachers, and falling back on the familiar. That time is now.
Sagittarius
The Magician (Reversed) & King of Pentacles
Sagittarius is called to channel existing resources and expertise in the face of burnout and frustration.
The Magician reversed notes that this month is a tough one for initiating anything new. You may hit creative walls faster and get burnt out more easily.
However, the King of Pentacles reminds you that you have plenty of existing ideas and tools at your disposal. You possess routines, skills, and existing projects that you can fall back on.
Instead of trying to force something new, remember what you have already built so far, Sagittarius.
Capricorn
The World & Ace of Pentacles (Reversed)
Capricorn, look at the greater beyond.
This month, the Ace of Pentacles reversed points to this time being one of lacking new opportunities. Doors you thought might open for you suddenly seem locked and distant.
However, The World notes that this time can also be one of connecting to your larger-scale plans and ideas, closing loops on old paths and projects, and finding closure and greater awareness.
Sometimes, success is more than what materially appears in front of you in the here and now. Sometimes, it’s about setting yourself up for a greater purpose later down the line.
Aquarius
The Chariot & Knight of Pentacles
Aquarius is charging bravely and productively into the future!
This month is a strong one for Aquarius, with both The Chariot and the Knight of Pentacles being forward-moving, productive, and successful cards for career progress, personal projects, and making material advancements.
Remember: it’s essential to balance hard work with occasionally celebrating your wins as you hit different milestones.
Yes, this month is about the work you can do. Equally, it’s still also about honoring the success and victories and feeling those moments as they arrive.
Pisces
The Empress & 3 of Pentacles
Pisces is sitting in a quite abundant, prosperous vibe this month.
The Empress shows you embracing your inner abundance, enjoying the bounties that surround you, moving intuitively and creatively, and celebrating yourself appropriately.
Coupled with the teamwork-focused 3 of Pentacles, this is a great time for creating bonds in the workplace, making progress and peace with those around you, and sharing generously when possible.
Prosperity is in the air. Know it, celebrate it, identify it, create it, and enjoy it!
