After what may have felt like an endless Venus retrograde, the planet of love and beauty will finally go direct on the 3rd. We won’t be holding our breath for long, though, as Jupiter goes retrograde in Taurus on the 4th.
Are you tired of going back and forth? One last stop: Mercury will end its retrograde and go direct on the 15th.
In addition, we also have our regular round of lunar events this month. The New Moon in Virgo will occur on the 14th and the Full Moon in Aries will occur on the 29th. (By the way, did we mention that the Libra season kicks off on the 23rd?).
Look, we never said it’s easy to keep up with the changes in the world. But it doesn’t have to be so overwhelming, because we also have the Tarot (using one Major Arcana and one Minor Arcana each) to get you started with summary guidance and information that’s right for you.
Your September 2023 Tarotscopes
Ram
The chariot and the queen of cups
Ramyou are taking charge of your life in a completely different way this month.
With The Chariot in your hand, it’s clear that you hope to seize control of your own life – independently, successfully and on your own terms.
However, the Queen of Cups notes that this is emotionally and spiritually rooted for you. You are trying to progress in your relationships with others, your connection with yourself, and your control over your intuition and emotions.
In other words, it’s not all about material success… even when you look in from the outside, the power you radiate can indeed seem tangible!
Taurus
Power (reverse) and page of swords
Taurus may not feel like their usual thriving, bountiful selves, but that won’t stop you from making big strides.
While Reverse Power indicates that your overall self-esteem, balance, and well-being is a little “off” this month, the Page of Swords shows a curious, expressive, and motivated spirit that breaks through anyway.
In September you break through obstacles with a ‘can-do’ attitude and a fresh perspective.
Lately you haven’t even heard of the concept of “giving up” – classic Taurus stubbornness has never looked so good!
Twin
The Moon and 3 of Pentacles (inverted)
Twin doesn’t have all the answers, but neither does anyone else.
While the 3 of Pentacles put a damper on your ability to cooperate, collaborate and easily connect with others, the Moon clouds your awareness of the world around you.
You may feel lost, confused, and filled with an overwhelming desire to seek the truth… yet so unsure of where to begin. And it seems that asking for help doesn’t amount to much either.
This month is about going within and discovering that sometimes asking questions is just as important as knowing the answer and making peace with the unknown.
Cancer
The Hanged Man (upside down) and 8 wands
Cancer is tired of sitting around and doing nothing.
While generally known for your homely tendencies, The Hanged Man flipped and the 8 of Wands both point to a sudden surge of action-oriented focus. You don’t just want to think about things; you want to do, act and create.
For some, this can be a touch of productive energy in your work. For others, it may be about getting out of your comfort zone and meeting new people, going out and seeing the world.
Whatever it is for you, make sure you enjoy it, Cancer.
Lion
The Hierophant and 4 wands
Lion You may have been through a whirlwind of chaos, but now you want to rebuild from the rubble.
The Hierophant points to teacher-like tendencies; You may be drawn to sharing information, opening up new worlds of expertise, or maybe even learning something new yourself.
In addition, the 4 of Wands indicates that this month is community-oriented. You connect with others around you and enjoy the company of friends, lovers and even casual acquaintances.
In short, you have a wonderful recipe for good times with a healthy portion of productivity and learning ability.
Virgin
The Lovers (reversed) and King of Swords (reversed)
Virgin – pause. Take a deep breath. This month could spell disaster if you don’t step back and rethink from time to time.
The Lovers reversed, and the King of Swords reversed, indicate trouble in paradise because of your connections with loved ones.
Your communication with others feels shaky at best; Miscommunication can easily arise, and your sense of confidence in what you express is not comfortable either.
The remedy for this is to slow down, catch your breath, and think (but don’t overthink) before speaking. Setting time apart from others and giving space and time to heal can also work wonders.
Scale
The Wizard and 8 of Pentacles (Reverse)
Scale feels creative, but may run out of strength to get everything done.
The Magician is a positive omen for your ideas, source of inspiration and imagination. You feel more inspired and connected to your sense of creativity.
However, the inverted Pentacles 8 warns that you burn out too quickly. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
With that memory in your heart, you would otherwise have a very uplifting, fun and productive month full of your own innovations.
Scorpion
The Fool (reversed) and Knight of Swords (reversed)
Scorpion are sometimes known for their deep and brooding wisdom…but this month you may be struggling to connect with that side of yourself.
The Fool is reversed and the Knight of Swords is reversed, indicating that mistakes and missteps can easily come your way this month.
You suddenly feel out of your element. Everything you think or dream doesn’t turn out the way you expect it to, and clearing the slate and starting over isn’t easy either.
However, we all get a few (metaphorical) bruises and skinned knees from time to time, even when we try our best. As long as you don’t give up and keep picking yourself up to try again, trust that you will find your way again.
Archer
The high priestess (inverted) and 6 of swords
Archer It may be difficult to connect to their intuition this month, but that won’t stop you from taking steps.
The High Priestess reversed the comment that you’re not so sure what’s going to happen next or why you’re where you are. It’s not that you are disconnected entirely from your inner voice, but perhaps for now you have hit a blind spot in the general state of your life.
The good news is that the 6 of Swords notices that you don’t need to know the outcome of anything right now. You are being asked to take a leap forward, leave out the old and make room for new things.
And yes, you have to do those things, with or without the knowledge of exactly what is going to happen.
Ibex
The Empress and 10 Wands (Reversed)
Ibex has some good things up its sleeve, and you don’t let the world get you.
The Empress is a positive signal for your personal abundance, material success and creative aspirations. You have some wonderful ideas in the works, and they have the potential to bear incredible fruit later on.
Although the 10 from Wands could be indicate many stressors and fears. In addition, turning over this card is an honorable effort on your part not to let those things get to you.
This month, don’t let anything or anyone get in your way… like you should.
Aquarius
The Emperor (reversed) and 10 of Cups (reversed)
Aquarius struggles to see the bigger picture this month.
While the 10 of Cups reversed portends some dissatisfaction with the general trajectory of your path, The Emperor reversed also notes that part of that has to do with your lack of control over your life.
It can seem like you are always at the mercy of something bigger: forces beyond your control. So connecting to your long-term dreams and aspirations can feel particularly distant.
Feel the frustrated feelings you need to feel. But an optimistic, progressive and ‘can-do’ attitude will be needed to finally achieve a breakthrough.
Fishing
The Wheel of Fortune (inverted) and the King of Cups
Fishing may not know what is going on with their future, but they do know what is going on himself.
The inverted Wheel of Fortune can feel like a lot of bad luck, like the universe is sometimes conspiring against you. It can seem like nothing you do in September goes as planned.
However, the King of Cups points to the expertise and wisdom you possess Doing to have. You know your own heart, your own dreams and what you can compassionately give to others.
Trusting yourself when you can’t trust anything else is sometimes the best move you can make.
How to use the Tarot
After you’ve gathered the general wisdom of the Tarot, you may be wondering how you can use this ancient craft in a more personal, intuitive way.
Your Tarotscope can connect you to the wider umbrella of spiritual experiences that those similar to your astrological blueprint may undergo at similar times. However, there is always more to the Tarot if you are willing to dig deeper.
After purchasing your own deck, you can explore everything from Tarot spreads to the true meaning of reversed cards and much more. Developing a more personal connection to the cards can also increase your understanding of your Tarotscope!
