September opens with the final golden weeks of late summer, and the energy shift that comes with harvest time; a gathering, a reflection, a conclusion.
The Wiccan festival of Mabon falls on September 21-22, marking the Autumn Equinox — a time of balance, gratitude, and preparing for the inward pull of the colder months.
Then, a Pisces Full Moon and lunar eclipse on September 7 asks us to release old emotional baggage, let our intuition take the lead, and soften into trust before we welcome Libra season on September 22 — bringing harmony, connection, and a focus on relationships of all kinds.
The New Moon in Libra on September 21 invites us to plant seeds for partnership, peace, and harmony in our relationships- maybe making lovely plans for the Autumn season.
Ahead, you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the month of September 2025, with three cards drawn for each sign and their meaning for you explained.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot cards for Aries for September: Three of Cups, The Empress, The Hermit
Meaning: Beautiful energy for you this September, Aries, especially at home, so get cosy, decorate seasonally, and create celebrations, gatherings, and intimate evenings in for you and your favourite people.
The Three of Cups is an invitation to party, play, and revel. September is a beautiful month and brings the turn of the seasonal wheel, maybe invent little festivities in your home (and outside) to mark this. Go on outings, long walks, nature watch, check out events and shows. The Empress promotes love, peace, and harmony in your family and closest relationships. If you’re single then maybe you will meet a charismatic Taurus or Libra who feels ‘safe’.
The Hermit sees you drawing inwards, preparing for the more reflective nature of Autumn. You are brewing ideas for Autumn projects, researching, studies, and personal development, maybe even a new hobby. This is how you design and execute a wonderful lifestyle, Aries, good on you.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot cards for Taurus for September: Page of Coins, Page of Swords, Two of Wands
Meaning: Options, decisions, and new directions are opening up in front of you this September, Taurus, like an unfolding map and you have the power to choose where you go! That sounds great, right? But it does mean seeking clarity, prioritising and focusing on what you want, not hedging your bets or trying to do it all.
The Page of Coins sees new career ideas and pathways revealing themselves, education is required but you can see a way to do it, and you are up for it! The Page of Swords gives you the ‘green light’ on a longstanding ambition, something you’ve blown hot and cold about, but are now ready to tackle head on.
The Two of Wands urges you to make firm choices about your steps and commit to them. This is a time to be focused. You can achieve so much if you put your mind to it.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot cards for Gemini for September: Five of Coins, The Hierophant, The Star
Meaning: Hardships create wisdom, you know this well, and sometimes you even feel energised by challenges, like it’s fuel to wake you up, force change, stimulate new outlooks and perspectives on life. The Five of Coins meets
The Hierophant and sees you doing just this – using what has been a setback to provide a robust platform for learning, growth, and new ideas. You are a magician in this respect, able to turn storm clouds into silver linings, always. Back yourself, Gemini. You’re a warrior!
The Star blesses you for this magic and endeavour. It sets an example to others and it means you’re always optimistic about life, always ready for the next chapter. And the Universe is going to reward you for it this September with a major opportunity, gift, or opening. Be on the lookout. Receive it with gratitude, it was well earned.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot cards for Cancer for September: Five of Swords, Eight of Cups, Five of Wands
Meaning: Choppy energies at Cancerian Castle this September, but they are serving a purpose – clearing the air, shifting dead wood and dead weight, laying the ground ready for new growth and investment. All the stagnation will be swept away, even if it feels a little chaotic at times.
Fives always signal change and restlessness before new growth. The Five of Swords and Wands show you feeling in conflict with your surrounds, annoyed by other folk, and disjointed from your usual habits or roles. Don’t fight this feeling, let it rise and reveal itself fully. Name the emotions. Match them to certain events or people. Understand how you have gotten here, and what might need addressing.
The Eight of Cups gives you full permission to end, quit, withdraw, sever ties, or cut cords with certain things. Whatever feels like a restriction, a battle, or a disappointment – let it go. You deserve the best. You are ready to reject what is not best. So that better options can enter your life this Autumn.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot cards for Leo for September: The Fool, Page of Cups, King of Swords
Meaning: A new beginning is in the offing this September, The Fool is in your realm and bringing his cleansing, engerising, powerful vibration which will dislodge a new idea for yourself that you never saw coming!
Sometimes we surprise ourselves, and this is one of those times. It might be linked to travel, technology, progressive causes, or a radical change of course. The Page of Cups hints it’s something a childhood you would’ve loved to do, this is an age-old desire reawakened and repurposed for adult life.
Your King of Swords shrewd operator side can deliver what your inner child yearned for, and it will make you feel proud and capable that you’re in a position to take this kind of care of yourself (of all of your selves). Don’t overthink it. Don’t question it too much. Think it, fall in love with it, and take the first bold leap towards it!

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot cards for Virgo for September: Two of Swords, The Devil, The Sun
Meaning: A major decision emerges in front of you this September Virgo, and one that has been a long time brewing, with deep-seated roots. So, take stock here, pause, and think carefully.
The Two of Swords shows this decision has a two-month lifespan, so what you choose now will take two further months to fully play out and reveal if it was right or wrong. If it’s wrong, well, you just make a new choice in November, so don’t overthink it or put pressure on.
The Devil and The Sun reveal the options. Both are about pursuing pleasure fulfilment. Both will deliver but in different ways. One option feels seductive, maybe represents a pattern or habit you already know well, but there is some shadow here and I think it will ultimately have a price tag that you find too steep. Whereas the other option is all about joy, wholesomeness, uplifting energy and positivity.
Don’t stick to well-trodden paths which you already know the outcomes of. Don’t think ‘better the Devil you know’ (literally). Head for the Sun. You can make a smart choice here and discover lasting happiness.

Libra
September 24 to October 23

Meaning: Ready to be entrepreneurial? Creative? Magical, even? Good, because your trio of cards this September is signalling you’re going to discover your true niche in this life and feel like you’ve hit upon a magic formula for success.
The Magician is you tapping into your own true talent, being wholly yourself unfiltered and without dilution. Use your skill, experience, passion and talent to craft something new. Reinvent yourself.
The Six of Wands shows that you have a six-week lucky spell ahead, whatever you start and activate now will turn out amazing, and everything will flow. Good fortune will rise to meet you when you’re proactive. And the Queen of Coins gifts you with riches and rewards. I feel like you could be edging towards a new way of making a living, or finding creative fulfilment. It all starts here.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot cards for Scorpio for September: Seven of Coins, King of Wands, Judgement
Meaning: Time to sit and talk with the ‘man in the mirror’ so to speak. Namely, yourself. Judgement calls you to attention and makes you realise a home truth that is inspiring and game changing. You’re done comparing yourself to others, limiting or underplaying your powers, or feeling judged. You are ready to embrace your whole self and rise.
The Seven of Coins shows this is the first seed of a whole new garden of blooms for you. From now until year end, you’ll be discovering new ideas and insights about what makes you tick and what you want to do next. Don’t rush it – this is a major rebirth leading into a new seven-year chapter.
The King of Wands hints that a whole new purpose and consequent adventure will unfold for you and it will prove irresistible. You can’t turn away from the path you can see forming ahead. You want change, you want excitement, you want to challenge yourself. It’s all coming.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot cards for Sagittarius for September: Knight of Swords, Knight of Cups, Ace of Coins
Meaning: Your route to success this September is twofold, calling on two different sides of your versatile nature. And project for yourself – be it around health, wealth, work or home. You are looking to plant a new seed, one which needs consistent attention but will return lasting rewards. This is a deep-rooted shift.
The Knight of Swords needs you to be direct, challenging, a little ruthless, and assertive. Say what it is you want to happen and don’t let folk put you off. Don’t bow down to others’ expectations. Put yourself and your need or idea first and foremost, they can fall in line around it, not vice versa.
The Knight of Cups reminds you that you need support, allies, and goodwill. You don’t like operating in a conflict. So, once you’re on your way, work to get people on side, in full understanding of what you’re doing, and reassured that it doesn’t mean you think any less of them or won’t be around. People just rely on you, they like your presence, they worry you might find something else better! But maybe you have…

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot cards for Capricorn for September: Queen of Swords, The Hanged Man, The High Priestess
Meaning: When you can’t change your circumstances, it’s best to change your mind. All change comes from a shift in mindset anyway. So work on yourself. The Hanged Man sees you stuck in a limbo, a sticky situation that feels restrictive. You are frustrated, and have been for a while.
The High Priestess and Queen of Swords reveal that the way out is through mental gymnastics, new perspectives, and fresh thinking. You need to canvas outside opinions, get weird folk to tell you their take on it. Look at it all with new eyes, no baggage. And then give it the rest of the month to settle.
Your sub conscious is brewing a very powerful new spin on matters which will lead directly to the resolution. But this takes space, quiet, time, and peace to come out. Create that environment and your mind will show you how to get past this blockage. Easier than you think!

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot cards for Aquarius for September: Ace of Wands, The Emperor, Eight of Wands
Meaning: Communication is key this September, being visible and in the thick of things, using your network to improve your position and options. It’s who you know, right? The Eight of Wands promises that the answers to your goals and issues lies in alliances or help from or with others. Power dynamics are important somehow.
The Emperor sees you having to play both sides – the master and apprentice, the doer and the done to, the boss and the subordinate. Maybe flattery is a big key to the door here, or straight talk. You assess the person, and choose the right approach.
The Ace of Wands shows that success will follow swiftly. The options, opportunities, invitations, and ideas you receive from your network this month will all prove to be useful, successful, and interesting. So lean in socially and see what comes up! An exciting month ahead.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot cards for Pisces for September: Six of Swords, Two of Coins, Eight of Coins
Meaning: Sometimes the hardest part of a project, goal, or task is the last stretch. You’re already tired, fed up with the topic, and kind of keen to go do something else instead. Pisces, I know you feel like this but please don’t give up. This is the last bit of dark before the dawn!
The Eight of Coins asks you to persist and push on, a breakthrough is coming. The Two of Coins shows that the rewards or returns you thought were possible still are and more. This is going to bring in more opportunity than you realised, maybe partly because you finish it off in style, with flair.
And, fear not, you will be sailing off into the sunset soon. The Six of Swords promises a smooth exit, one made easy because you know you finished the job and finished it well. You deserve every success here.
