Contrary to the song “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” you won’t want to sleep through the month ahead (unless you're a Libra, sorry!). This monthly tarot reading is pushing us to savor the last days of summer, amber sunsets, and warm breezes before fall comes.
Responsible and commitment-oriented Saturn moves back into Pisces on September 1. At this time, we'll be taken back to May, allowing us to reflect and ponder the decisions we made then. Mercury enters Virgo on September 2, making communication delightful and concise. Uranus retrograde in Gemini commences on September 6. For the next several months, we are taking baby steps towards growth.
The total lunar eclipse on September 7 in Pisces pushes us to align with what and who we care about the most. Mercury dances into Libra on September 18, bringing meaning and poetry to our words. Venus glides into Virgo on September 19, helping us make practical relationship decisions. The partial solar eclipse in Virgo occurs on September 21, ushering in new hopes and goals. Mars swims into Scorpio on September 22, heightening our desires and combativeness. Later in the day, the Sun moves into Libra and the Fall Equinox begins (the daylight and evening hours will be the same amount of time). This cosmic shift brings the beginning of autumn and cuffing season.
But that's the astrological big picture. What does this monthly tarot reading mean for your zodiac sign? Let's get into it.

The more genuine you are, the easier it will be to connect on a deep and pure level. Listen to some Sabrina Carpenter for inspiration on expressing your true self.
