Tarotscopes | September 2025
It’s September, darlings! This month’s energy is all about shedding in order to uplevel. This transmutation will occur for some physically and others cerebrally. Losing ideas or constructs that may have once limited us. Others might decide to start or end partnerships, redo their career goals, or do something major. These shifts are thanks to the eclipse season, which will carry us through the month. Virgo and Pisces coexist on an axis that details the material and the spiritual. What is it like to notice everything, and what is it like to sense everything? This contributes greatly to what we feel this month. Things can seem heightened or more intense. Make an effort not to catastrophize, but to reflect. Whatever happened in the previous eclipse season back in February could be a great place to see what story is being evaluated now.
Here are some key transits to look out for:
September 1st: Saturn Retrograde/ Saturn in Pisces
What seems to be a never-ending Saturn retrograde is still going strong. Saturn will enter the watery depths of Pisces at the start of this month, giving us another opportunity to redo the lessons of the last two years. More succinctly, our boundaries with our emotions. When and why avoidance and escapism plague us. Looking closely at patterns and cycles we wish to eradicate.
September 2nd: Mercury enters Virgo
When Mercury is here, he is in his element. This will sharpen our mental faculties. We are communicating and learning more effectively. Very easy-going transit, things are running as they should. Great time to start creating healthier habits.
September 7th: Lunar eclipse in Pisces
A lunar eclipse is an exaggerated full moon. In the sign of Pisces, you are closing a chapter for good. Especially now that Saturn is retrograde in the sign as well, there is some weight to this decision. Move forward knowing you’ve outgrown this era.
September 21: Solar eclipse in Virgo
This will be a day to take inventory. This solar event begins a period of time during which you might find more insight into themes about your future. The eclipse season here is activating a spotlight, showing you a clue of what themes we will be dealing with for the next year or so. Stay present.
September 22: Sun enters Libra
Libra season invokes harmony and blissfulness. Tilt the scales in your favor.
Card for the collective– Nine of Wands
The Nine of Wands has a significant connection to foundations. It is asking the collective to revisit their individual foundations and bring their energies back into balance. This theme is symbiotic to what you are dealing with this eclipse season, as well as Virgo season. How can you use your energy to create a new structure or habit within your life? This September, do your best to embody the habits you find conducive to the goals you have for yourself. If you told someone your goals and they witnessed how you spend your time, would they believe you were serious? Think about this the next time you set yourself up to achieve something. Virgo season always restates that the devil truly is in the details.
Aries
Death
Shedding is a key theme you might feel confronted with this month. What has run its course within your life? As the cardinal fire sign, you have been blessed with an innate ability to suss out these issues before feeling stagnant. Let this card be the sign you have been looking for to cut it out. When you are no longer motivated or inspired by something, it is time to refresh. This could be on any scale, large or small, so do not fear the reaper. Embrace the change.
Taurus
Ace of Cups
Whatever blessings are appearing right now, take a moment to be filled with gratitude. There is a certain comfort that comes from being reminded that you are divinely supported. These moments might feel far and few between, but right now they are omnipresent. You are supported by all forces seen and unseen. Sink into the magic of the moment; something miraculous is about to take place.
Gemini
The Hanged Man
This is a time for you to take action, even when you don’t necessarily know the right course. Ruled by Mercury, you are always dancing with the possibility of another possibility, and this can lead to a sensation of fear. To navigate a way out, do what you do best: respond. You will find that your timely and apt response is a key to forging a new path.
Cancer
Strength
There are many different types of strength, and at times they can be cultivated through esoteric means. Also known as Lust, the Strength card reminds us of the assortment of artillery we have to take down our problems. Maybe the muscle needed to address this issue is spiritual instead of physical? If this resonates with you, the first step would be to address your attitudinal response to what is bothering you. Once you believe that the issue can be handled magically or otherwise, the stress is significantly diminished. Allowing you to conquer it entirely.
Leo
Four of Swords
Rest after the war is one way to view your current position. Literally or emotionally, you have been through it; now is the time to gather peace. Soften into the ease of your life, focus on the little things. After overcoming the hardship of your struggles, be gentle with yourself. There is no shame in taking space to focus on you. Be cautious not to drift too far inward, as you are prone to extroversion.
Virgo
Page of Wands
This eclipse season in your sign has left you feeling reborn. Take this new influx of inspiration and create. Use your newfound energy to forge your dreams into reality. You have shown yourself over the past year that you are capable once you apply yourself. Now that you have proven this to yourself, you are limitless. The hardest part was overcoming your discerning nature. Like a scavenging dog, you no doubt will seek any opportunity to tell yourself you are incapable of taking the next step, but this is far from true. All the dreams you have are yours for a reason.
Libra
The Emperor
There could be an invitation to learn how to be with yourself. This is not an omen of a separation if you are in a relationship, but rather a way of relating to yourself again. Thus, reinstating your ideas of independence. Whether this shows up as you taking a class alone or creating some sort of daily ritual in solitude, just spend some time with your thoughts. The emperor is a hyper-individualistic personality, and this attribute might serve you as well, not in totality, but in essence.
Scorpio
Five of Wands
What’s the matter? It is in part one of the questions you are being faced with this month. The more important question is, Does this matter? The Five of Wands is about battle and quarrelling. With limited energy at your disposal, you should use discretion on whether the fight is even worth it. The best way to avoid petty conflict is to speak directly. Direct conversation makes for direct understanding.
Sagittarius
Six of Pentacles
There is an element of success to all that you take part in this month. This jovial and optimistic nature that comes naturally to you is made abundantly present. You will either be on the receiving end or become the benefactor of some sort of good fortune. This card deals with the reciprocity of wealth, knowing that paying it forward ensures it will come back to you. So if you have something valuable to share, do so. Prosperity is looking for you.
Capricorn
Queen of Cups
Nourish the things that nourish you. This concept of nourishment is typically allocated to healthy foods, but there is so much that can nourish the spirit. This card entails themes of the mother archetype. You will be grappling with how you mother others and how you mother yourself. Give love freely and check in on those dear to you. There is something so special about tending to things. Nurture your home, your loved ones, and yourself.
Aquarius
Seven of Swords
There could be a situation that needs further inspection or ironing out. This is a card that is a harbinger of deception. You are misleading yourself. To push forward, accept things for what they are. The Sword in the tarot is no more than a symbol for the mind; it is with this mental clarity that you can overcome your obstacles. Once you figure out what is, in fact, not working out for you, handle it head-on. Get clear on who your adversary is if you want to win.
Pisces
The Magician
You are returning to a part of your innate authenticity. After trial and error, you’ve begun to see what works for you and what doesn’t. This is one part of the magic, as magic can truly exist only when one is being raw and authentic. To cultivate the magnetism, aspirations, or whatever else you are seeking, it will only happen when you decide to stop pretending to be something you are not. This September, you will see how quickly your miracles find you, once you are unmasked.
