Your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the month of September 2026

Get ready for a new month (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) September has that back-to-school feeling anyway, but the astrology really does back it up this year. The New Moon in Virgo on September 10 is perfect for a reset: routines, work, health, the stuff you’ve been meaning to sort out. On the same day, Mercury moves into Libra and Venus into Scorpio, so conversations get more thoughtful while love gets deeper and less willing to skim the surface. Uranus also turns retrograde, adding another reason to pause and rethink rather than rush. Then, on September 22, the Sun moves into Libra and we reach the Autumn Equinox, bringing a natural shift towards balance, relationships and what you want from the months ahead. The Full Moon in Aries on 26 September ends the month with rather more fire. After all that reflection, you’ll know where you need to be braver and where it’s time to put yourself first. Let’s use the tarot to guide the way. Looking for more insight? Join my magical, mystical tarot club – where we explore the cards through challenges, lessons, guided meditations, and rituals.

Quid pro quo. You give and you (should) get. The Six of Coins reinforces that balancing act, and makes you look at where you were met with equal respect and reward… and where you are not. It’s time to make a list of who or what is worth your time and energy, proven by the results or payback, and who or what is not. Strength asks you to act on this list, reminding yourself that you do the hiring, firing and promotions in your realm, and you’re the CEO of Planet You! Be discerning, be shrewd, be mindful of curating a good circle. The Knight of Coins urges you to do this because hard work and effort lie ahead. You have big plans and ideas, and you need the right resources, environment and people around you. Make that happen now, set yourself up for true success.

You have your to-do list ready, honed and primed, and while it’s Virgo season, you’re cracking on intelligently and productively. The Queen of Coins puts you in the ultimate position for practical success and good outcomes. Tick off actions around your health, wealth, work, and home. Get things sorted, organised, streamlined, and updated. And then… chill. I really mean it, you must chill out. As the wheel of the year turns to Autumn, draw inwards and close down your schedule for a week or so. The Four of Swords gives you a pass from the Universe to skip class, go home, and seek deep rest and relaxation. Your mind works overtime, faster than anyone else’s, so you need gluts of time where you switch off — and this is one of them. Don’t be tempted to rush back to busyness, as you won’t be firing on all cylinders. Rest. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Gemini Cancer June 22 to July 23 You’re starting to truly know yourself (Picture: Kerry King/@inlovewithcameras) Tarot cards for Cancer for September: Ace of Coins, The Hanged Man, Page of Wands Meaning: Towards the end of September, ambitious Mars moves into bold Leo and we enjoy a brave passionate Full Moon in Aries. Both transits, and these cards, urge you to put yourself first, be bold and do something authentic and courageous. Step far far from your comfort zone into new territory that feels exciting. The Ace of Coins welcomes this fresh start and offers an encouraging prediction that what begins now will last long into your future and bring positive benefits for health, wealth, work and home. The Hanged Man and the Page of Wands go well with this Uranus retrograde and suggest that this fresh start at the end of the month arises from a series of personal insights brewing from the start of it. You see yourself more clearly, objectively, and fully. You notice things you want to do but aren’t, and things you’re doing but don’t want to. And this sparks change’. Major change. The kind that reinvents and repurposes your whole life. It feels great! Head here for everything you need to know about being a Cancer Leo July 24 to August 23 You’re forging a new path (Picture: Kerry King/@inlovewithcameras) Tarot cards for Leo for September: The Magician, Seven of Coins, Knight of Swords Meaning: Mars moving into Leo at the end of September is a pivot point for you, and all of this month is building up to that moment. You are noticing, helped along by the Seven of Coins and The Magician, that what once got you fired up, inspired, and feeling creative no longer works. You have changed. And that means your stimulus and interests and spark points have changed too, and that’s okay. In fact, the Knight of Swords lays this down before you like a new quest. Go seek what now moves you! Set out on a mission of discovery to find art, music, stories, places, people, and hobbies that light you up, put you in flow, and motivate you to create. You are a passionate and creative person, and you need to serve that side of your psyche. This is your autumn homework. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Leo Virgo August 24 to September 23 Time for a reset (Picture: Kerry King/@inlovewithcameras) Tarot cards for Virgo for September: The Devil, King of Coins, The Hermit Meaning: The Hermit is your sign’s talisman card so this feels like an important month, a time to reflect on what you want, need, and feel right now. And this is all leading to a departure from an old habit or pattern that has held you in a place you no longer fit. The great escape beckons! As Mercury (your planet) moves into secret-revealing Scorpio on September 30, you are ready to pull away from whatever has secretly had a hold over you for too long. The Devil will help you in this respect; the card opens our eyes to the things that bind us, restrict us, keep us playing a game we cannot win, nor want to even play anymore. You can be a creature of habit, but you’re seeing this truth and resolving to make changes. The King of Coins shows that you need a practical plan of action to make this transition, to replace one thing with another, to hold true to your goal. And you can do this. It will make you feel strong, proud and in control. And it will bring tangible benefits in terms of feedback, opportunities, praise, and new openings too. When you’re different, you fit into the world around differently too. Shake off what’s been holding you down.

These cards promise a fruitful Libra season lies ahead, especially the presence of Justice, which is your sign’s talisman card. Good things come to good people, and the Six of Wands doubles down on that truth. You will receive a year’s worth of good karma in one sitting this September, and you’ll feel spoilt by the Universe, like you’re being given cosmic birthday treats… maybe you are! The Page of Wands suggests it might be a good time to let your love life get a bit messy, hot, and experimental, with Venus moving into Scorpio on September 10. You are ruled by Venus, you love to love, and perhaps this is your birthday gift too. Get involved, make suggestions, flirt, play, and have fun. Cupid will bring you treats!

You are basically unstoppable and irresistible, enhanced by The Chariot, which puts purpose and intent behind everything you do and makes it all happen. Have faith in your ambitions right now, knowing you can persuade and cajole anyone into almost anything, then put this to the test! The Three and Ten of Cups add spice to your love life. Other Water signs look very positive for you, if you’re single and seeking. And you feel ready to fall in love, and be loved. You want the romance movie scope and drama, you want the fairytale, you want to make and receive grand gestures and declarations, and this can all be yours. Act like a main character. Be bold and assertive. Tell the truth about how you feel. This could be the best month of 2026 for you.

You reinvent and re-emerge from situations naturally and swiftly. The Five of Cups has you leaving August feeling a little sad, perhaps regretful. Something didn’t turn out as you hoped, and you are wondering why. The King of Swords will provide an answer if you break this down rationally and establish the facts, the timeline, and the likely drivers of events. Figure it out, take a lesson, chalk it up to experience, and then look ahead because the future is brighter… brighter than you think! The New Moon in Virgo on September 10 is a good time for you put down new goals and ideas. The Two of Wands asks you to focus. Choose your ambition. Choose your next step. Focus everything on it, give this 100% of your attention for at least two weeks and be amazed at how far you get. Whatever you brought into September feeling sad about, will very quickly be forgotten.

You enjoy this season immensely, and the Four of Cups has you just feeling naturally happy and more relaxed to be moving through to the PSL, cosy times, sweather weather, and festivities of Halloween and Bonfire Night — it all makes you feel a bit like a kid again. You’re mirroring autumn’s rhythm too. Death sees you starting to shed your own leaves and foliage, letting go of what’s ripe and ready for release. You are streamlining, slimming down the options, decluttering, and generally admitting what projects, places or people have run their course in your story. What remains? Love. The Empress brings you blessings of true love from family, friends, your partner or flirtation, allies and colleagues and neighbours, even. Folk appreciate you, they like your integrity and solidity. You are valued more than you, so let folk show you that this month. It’s going to be heavenly.

So, spend a little time with the Six and Eight of Cups looking back, affectionately, at the highs and lows of life lately, and long ago. It’s quite a story. You’re a piece of work (in a good way) and a work still in progress. Setting the narrative straight for the story so far is important right now because the Knight of Wands is bringing you another new mountain to climb, another adventure to enjoy, another journey of discovery to embark upon fearlessly. It will come about unexpectedly, but maybe around the New Moon on September 10, so get ready! Life’s about to get interesting again.

And the destination is wealth. Are you ready to go on a wild ride? The Two of Swords has you making a big decision before then that will unlock a new course towards greater riches and rewards. The Ace of Coins shows it’s a new pathway, possibly linked to education, training, collaboration or career shifts. Be bold, aim high, you can do this! If anyone deserves great rewards for their efforts then it’s you, Pisces, because you help and support everyone around you, too. And you will find that folk will always wish you well and help you get further faster, so lean into your network now too. The Ten of Coins is a promise that this is all now leading to long-term wealth and security, to lasting stability, to good things for a long time to come. Have faith in yourself.
