Right at the start of September, the world of astrology is set to give you a boost with Pluto moving into ambitious Capricorn and the Moon entering organised Virgo.
This makes for a great time to get your life in order, especially as Mars in Cancer on September 4 could make you more emotionally than rationally motivated.
This feelings-heavy atmosphere is only heightened by the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 18, when it’s wise to carve out some time for introspection and self care. Don’t worry though, as Libra season beginning the following week helps you feel more inclined to enjoy company.
Ahead, you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the month of September 2024, with three tarot cards drawn for each sign and their meaning for you explained.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot cards for Aries for September: Eight of Swords, The Star, King of Wands
Meaning: Wish the best for yourself
I don’t know why, Aries, but you do have a habit of self sabotage. The Eight of Swords and King of Wands sees you tootling along, your Mars energy firing on all cylinders, aiming at your goals… and then kaput! You go and do something that scuppers the journey, stalls the progress, undercuts your confidence or belief.
Take a beat, this September, and remember the times you’ve done this. Notice the triggers, feelings arising, or circumstances. Any patterns?
Identify and resolve to replace or over-ride these impulses because The Star is blessing you this month with a wish. You need to spend this wish on yourself, something dreamy. And then believe in it, and work towards it, manifest your goal whole-heartedly, no self sabotage, okay? Be your own coach, manager, cheerleader, supporter, and trouble shooter!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot cards for Taurus for September: The Devil, Queen of Coins, Three of Cups
Meaning: Avoid temptations
Taurus, you’ve got a big appetite, for all kinds of things (good, bad, and ugly). You’re a materialistic and physical kind of person, you like the good life, you enjoy indulging.
The Devil and Three of Cups suggest that your social life might take you off-road (in terms of healthy living) this September. Temptations will be very hard to resist, especially when you’re having fun and with good people. So, decide upfront what your boundaries are and agree to things accordingly.
Don’t kid yourself that you can go to the ‘bottomless brunch’ and only have one mimosa. Don’t agree to the full-week-long Hen Do if you know you can’t afford all the extras and treats. Be discerning. The Queen of Coins shows you can still have a great time (without feeling bad and getting into unhealthy habits or patterns) if you plan well upfront.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot cards for Gemini for September: Nine of Cups, The High Priestess, Page of Swords
Meaning: Let your imagination go wild
The High Priestess is a passive power, a feminine and intuitive presence that helps you sit down, be still, quieten your famously chattering mind and just… be. Listen to your instincts, hear your desires, tune in to your imagination and let it roam free Let ideas and insights bubble up from your sub conscious.
The Nine of Cups suggests you direct this internal audit towards pleasure, daydreams, fantasies, visions of ideal life and love. You can create, mentally, the reality you want to work on!
The Page of Swords asks you to have faith in your dreams and your ability to manifest them. Don’t suppress or ignore what your imagination serves up- it’s tailored just for you. Pay attention and use it.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot cards for Cancer for September: The Emperor, Knight of Coins, Six of Coins
Meaning: Practical magic
You are adored Cancer because you’re the ‘mother of the zodiac’ (Capricorn is the father) and you nurture people in your circle. You are also very strong and tough and protective, so it’s not all hearts and flowers. You provide solid back-up.
The Emperor and Six of Coins see you offering practical, no-nonsense, shrewd, and useful assistance to people you care about, and they will never ever forget your kindness and input. You make a difference. You change how people feel. This is so valued. Know you’re doing good as you’re doing it, take a little bit of that magic back for yourself!
The Knight of Coins shows this is about defending someone from something or someone – being protective, guarded, cautious, maybe secretive. It’s not a fight… it’s an evasion. You can help make it work.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot cards for Leo for September: Temperance, The Lovers, Six of Wands
Meaning: Work through the temptation
Lean in to the chaos this September. You are brave and face things head on, and it’s likely something is very stirred and shaken in your realm. The Lovers is about temptations, distractions, head vs heart decisions or options. Temperance is about coming away from extremes and finding a middle ground, a sensible and grounded way forward that makes you feel secure.
So something is going to throw you off balance, maybe a temptation or enticement off the beaten path, and you’re going to have to figure out how you handle that. Go for it and experience everything? Nip it in the bud and stay true to your current path? Use it as a catalyst to re-examine your current situation and make changes?
The Six of Wands reassures you that, in the long run, this is all happening for the best. The outcome of this is you reaching a new, better understanding and way ahead. Success is coming, just hack your way through this jungle of doubt first

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot cards for Virgo for September: Eight of Wands, The Chariot, Six of Cups
Meaning: The past helps you move forwards
Reach back into your past this September, Virgo (it is your birthday season after all). The Six of Cups brings a welcome and kind reunion that helps you along the way, in fact The Chariot suggests it sets you up for knowing where you’re headed next. Sometimes we have to look back to get our bearings, create the narrative, see ourselves develop and therefore appreciate the future potential.
The Chariot is also about travel so there could be a literal journey, trip, holiday, or location move with this card, and maybe it’s heading someplace you once held great affection for.
The Eight of Wands wants you social and mingling, enjoying yourself, being the birthday king/queen! Revel in the attention and accept the gifts and well wishes. Enjoy this season, and use this rekindled energy to build something for the coming year.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot cards for Libra for September: Five of Wands, Queen of Swords, Ace of Swords
Meaning: Mediation and healing
Libra, you are the most tactful and diplomatic zodiac sign, and are also blessed with the ability (albeit sometimes a curse) to see all sides of any argument. The Five of Wands puts you in a tangle this September and forces you to turn that powerful analysis and charm on your own life.
The Ace of Swords shows you need to act quickly here and get to the bottom of things. Don’t add fuel to the fire or encourage further noise. Find out what the root cause of this squall is and work on it at that level. The Queen of Swords asks you to stay calm and logical. Stick to the facts. Be objective, almost ‘legal’ and formal. There will be a spiky dialogue at some point but you can rehearse for it and manage it like a script (because you can already imagine what will be said).
The prize for this is gratitude and peace. People will be pleased you put this to bed and they’ll remember the role you played. And you then to withdraw and be happy and harmonious again.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot cards for Scorpio for September: Seven of Swords, Wheel of Fortune, The Tower
Meaning: Something changes everything
The Wheel of Fortune shows this is a pivotal, transformative month for you. In a good way, although some of the events along the way might feel bruising or unexpected.
The Tower is at work, unseen forces are conspiring to collapse something negative, fading or false in your realm. This has been a long time coming, so don’t resist it. Accept the ending with gratitude and look to the comeback, to the rebuild (which is what, ruled by Pluto, you’re famous for, and good at, anyway).
The Seven of Swords hints that someone is not the friend/colleague/lover/family ally you think they are. There has been some backstabbing and it’s all coming to light. Find out who your friends really are and respond accordingly. Don’t put up with poor treatment. Let this September sweep the dead wood out of your realm!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot cards for Sagittarius for September: Five of Coins, Ace of Wands, Four of Cups
Meaning: Turn a loss into an advantage
The Five of Coins and Four of Cups have you starting out September feeling a tiny bit sorry for yourself. You’re looking back at something you lost or which rattled you, maybe even long ago, and dwelling on the unfairness or sorrow of it all. It dampens your mood, and you know it, but you feel compelled to pick at this scab.
Perhaps it’s all for a good reason because, one week in, the Ace of Wands appears to flip this whole scenario on its head. You see things differently, you see the silver lining or life lesson. When bad things happen we do get a booster, somewhere down the line, from it, even if it’s just a strengthened aura or sense of resilience or bravery.
You get your goodies, feel grateful, and turn this whole thing around. Something new starts as a result, something inspiring. Gosh, it was almost all worth it!

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot cards for Capricorn for September: Three of Coins, Five of Swords, Page of Wands
Meaning: Get help, make alliances, collaborate
Capricorns are notorious solo fliers. You like doing stuff by yourself, for yourself, in your own space and time. Well, this September asks something different of you, sorry.
The Five of Swords sees you entering a conflict or disagreement, something isn’t sitting right with you, and you want to fight against it or rebel. The Page of Wands has you trying all sorts of different approaches and tactics and finding it quite draining to be facing this all by yourself. Surely you’re not alone here? Surely others are encountering this same issue?
The Three of Coins reveals that is true. So you need to join the crowd, create a class action, form an alliance, find supporters and helpers and mentors. Together, you can join forces and fight effectively. Together, you can succeed.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot cards for Aquarius for September: Nine of Coins, Ten of Coins, Page of Cups
Meaning: Nesting
The Nine and Ten of Coins suggest you’re laying down long-term foundations, the kind of material blueprints that you hope will take you far into the future regarding family, home, wealth and work. Perhaps you’re negotiating a mortgage, pension, new role, marriage, growing family, or investment.
This is a time to plant seeds, healthy ones that you feel committed to bringing to fruition. This is a time to seek security, certainty, fundamentals and basics. Get your ‘nest’ right.
The Page of Cups not only points to children (so if starting or growing your family is a priority then this is a good month on that score) but to childhood. Perhaps your best ideas come from the memories you have of childhood that made you feel warm, safe, and protected. What can you recreate for your adult self now?

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot cards for Pisces for September: Two of Wands, King of Swords, The Fool
Meaning: Make a brave new fresh start
The Two of Wands has seen you trying new things and finding success with some of them but maybe feeling like nothing has yet to truly hit the right spot – this could be in work, personal growth, hobbies, friendships, or learning projects. So, don’t ‘settle’. Start over.
The Fool is the tarot’s first card and patron saint of new beginnings. Just because you’ve already been doing new things doesn’t mean you can’t do even more! Don’t listen to others or feel indebted to the beginnings already underway. Turn the page and make a bold leap towards something you feel inspired and excited by.
The King of Swords asks you to do this logically, cool-headedly, and with fortitude. Others may disapprove, but you’ll have to brush that off and keep going. This is going to be a very interesting September.
