September 2025

September is a liminal month—summer’s corpse still warm while autumn sharpens its sickle. The air is thick with reckoning. These cards cut like bone knives, showing each sign where the shadows lie, and where fire still lives in your blood. Read with caution—these truths are not sugar-coated.

Aries:

7 of Wands, 8 of Wands, The Hermit, The Devil

This month burns with confrontation. Every battle is a mirror of yourself, Aries, and you’ll feel the push to defend your ground at all costs. The Hermit drags you inward after the chaos, forcing solitude and deep reckoning. But The Devil here asks what chains you keep polishing instead of breaking. Are you fighting for freedom, or fighting to preserve your own prison?

Taurus:

5 of Swords, 3 of Swords, Death, Ace of Wands

Your illusions shatter this month. Betrayal, heartbreak, sharp words left to fester—Taurus, you cannot cling to wilted flowers. Death is not an ending but a harvesting blade; something must die for the spark of Ace of Wands to catch. Let this loss carve space for something raw, new, and burning. You’re stepping into a new spell—but only after the funeral pyre.

Gemini:

The Moon, Queen of Wands, The Magician, The High Priestess

A labyrinth of secrets opens before you. The Moon reveals half-truths and misdirection; yet within it, your inner sovereignty calls forth through the Queen and the twin magics of Magician and High Priestess. Gemini, you move like a crossroads spirit this month—both trickster and oracle. Trust your power, but do not mistake illusion for mastery. You are holding hidden fire between your palms.

Cancer:

5 of Pentacles, 4 of Wands, 8 of Cups, Page of Swords

Exile and belonging dance, tugging you in opposite directions. You begin feeling cast out, Cancer, but the 4 of Wands shows there *is* sanctuary if you seek it. You may have to abandon what no longer warms you—8 of Cups is departure with dignity. The Page of Swords cuts in, reminding you: study, inquire, spy if you must. Curiosity will anchor you while tides shift.

Leo:

6 of Cups, King of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, The Empress

Your past resurrects this month, Leo—but not to haunt, to *revive*. Ancestral blessings or karmic gifts arrive, and the King of Pentacles stabilizes what once felt fleeting. The Knight of Wands reignites your restless, dangerous hunger; paired with The Empress, you are both predator and fertile field. What you create now thrives, but it comes with claws. Indulgence carries a price—choose your pleasures wisely.

Virgo:

Page of Pentacles, 4 of Pentacles, 2 of Pentacles, 9 of Wands

You’re clutching every coin, every idea, Virgo, trying too hard to balance a crumbling tower of responsibilities. The Page seeks growth, yet the 4 of Pentacles keeps you imprisoned in scarcity. The 2 of Pentacles spins plates until exhaustion, while the 9 of Wands shows your bones ache from vigilance. This month, ask yourself: what fortress are you defending? And is there treasure left inside?

Libra:

4 of Cups, The Lovers, Queen of Swords, 4 of Swords

Temptation and apathy linger around you, Libra, yet The Lovers drag you into fated crossroads. Choices, contracts, bonds—something binds your heart to justice this month. The Queen of Swords speaks: cut through the illusions, wield your mind as the blade of divine separation. The 4 of Swords warns: pull back, retreat, heal. Even swords rest on altars between battles.

Scorpio:

Temperance, 6 of Pentacles, King of Cups, 5 of Cups

Your balance looks delicate yet powerful this month. You are the alchemist, Scorpio, blending shadow and light. Generosity and equilibrium in giving and receiving hold the key. Yet the King of Cups wields emotional command not without pain—and the 5 of Cups will test you with grief. Beware drowning in what is lost. What still stands is the chalice you must drink from.

Sagittarius:

Knight of Cups, Knight of Pentacles, 2 of Swords, The Hierophant

Your wild fire faces its initiation this month. Two knights—passion and patience—pull at each limb. The 2 of Swords chains you at the crossroads, forcing a choice you’d rather avoid. And above it all, The Hierophant looms—tradition, ritual law, maybe even an oppressive structure. Sagittarius: which master do you serve? The questing heart, or the dogma that would tame it? Decide before the month devours you.

Capricorn:

9 of Pentacles, Justice, 5 of Pentacles, Ace of Cups

Wealth and independence gleam, Capricorn, but the scales of Justice demand toll. What you’ve harvested cannot shield you entirely from loss; the 5 of Pentacles whispers that even in luxury, isolation and sacrifice exist. Yet the Ace of Cups flows like blood from the grail: new love, new spirit, new offering. Do not mistake material triumph for soul fulfillment. Drink deeper than money allows.

Aquarius:

The Sun, The Fool, 8 of Pentacles, Ace of Pentacles

Your cards scorch like holy fire. Radiance, freedom, dangerous innocence. The Sun illuminates truth, The Fool casts you into wide-eyed beginnings. You are the artisan this month, Aquarius, learning your craft, building your temple brick by brick. Ace of Pentacles roots it, grounding your airy madness into fertile earth. This is a month to risk and to reap—the soil is ready.

Pisces:

9 of Cups, 7 of Swords, 7 of Pentacles, The Emperor

Pleasure and deception twine around you, Pisces. The 9 of Cups offers satisfaction, but the 7 of Swords suggests it may be stolen, manipulated, or hollow. Patience creeps in with the 7 of Pentacles—you must wait for the garden to grow. The Emperor carves authority with iron discipline; this is your challenge: will you drift in false waters, or anchor yourself in sovereignty?
