Your Tarot Card Reading for the Week of September 1

You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let’s go!

A new week, a new month, and soon a new season. It’s time to lift your gaze, look ahead, and elevate your game plan! Freshen the tactics, review the strategy, revamp the long term goals. Make your ambition spicy, motivating, and fun! The Four of Wands encourages us all to focus on getting ahead, reaching the next level, progressing upwards rather than circling or flatlining. What does success look like for you right now? And what ingredients are required to make the right alchemy of achievement? Education, maybe? Travel? A mentor or tutor? A dose of self confidence and belief? A spell of research and investment into scoping new options? Decide, do, deliver. It can be that easy!

You are being given a glowing green light to progress whatever wild ideas you’ve been nursing this last month or so. Get on and do it, Aries! The Universe thinks this could all be the making of you, and the learnings will be invaluable too. You don’t get anywhere or learn anything by simply sitting and (over)thinking. It’s through action and taking steps that you find out what you need to know and create momentum and progress. This idea of yours really is IT. Have faith in yourself.

Love life bliss for you, Taurus, with the passionate, happy-ever-after Ten of Cups. If you’re single, look out for dreamy Water sign folk (Scorpio aka your sister sign, Pisces, and Cancer). If you’re going through something then pour love, compassion and kindness on it. No hard vibes, pure and well-meaning intentions only. And if you’re happily attached then maybe something amazing will happen this week: a proposal, a declaration, a gift, a commitment, or a deepening of your love and intimacy that makes you feel truly safe and secure (which is catnip for all Taureans).

I have been saying to myself recently, 'You are safe, all is well, whatever happens will be for the greater good in the long run’ and this little mantra has helped me remember that all stories change over time. Any one event can look "bad" in the moment, but in hindsight we often see it completely differently. So, don’t sweat the here and now, the setbacks or issues. They all come with silver linings (that you just can’t see yet) and lessons (that will prove valuable in time). Look ahead, have optimism, trust that you’re being guided towards the greater good, and just keep going, Gemini. Better times and opportunities lie ahead, so go forwards (don’t look back).

Don’t let folk get away with hurting, wounding, betraying, or undermining you. Call it out, step back, cut ties, push harder, seek allies. Make proactive steps to protect yourself, address the imbalance, and change the outcome if it’s looking negative. You have the Universe’s full permission to surgically remove sources of pain and stress from your life. You have carried on acting OK for so long, and it’s paining you. Take steps to pull that thorn out of your side and heal. Enough is enough.

We all go through it, Leo. We all get our share of sorrow and pain. You are not alone and you mustn’t isolate yourself or try to over up your feelings. Let them pour out, speak to folk this week and express yourself, no matter how raw or vulnerable you feel. The care and love people have for you is real and their comfort and support will heal you faster than any spa break, therapy, or psychology. We are social animals and we need other people around us. Go find your folk, be comforted, and come back blazing again. This is just a brief respite and recalibration.

You’ve hit an obstacle, a block in the road, a snag or sticking point. What to do? Your usual methods haven’t born success or made a difference, and perhaps this is a prompt to surrender to this issue and just let it be for a while. When you can’t change your circumstances, you often have to change your mindset, and that will be the key here. If you know a Pisces person, then ask their advice. If not, then ask the advice of the most out-there, eccentric, original thinking folk you know! The road ahead will not be the well-trodden path you were expecting, something is going to change, and THAT is what will push you past this block.

A fabulous lucky and winning streak emerges in your realm, and it’s here to stay for around six weeks, so make the absolute most of it. The Six of Wands brings rewards, success, and good fortune. Everything you take a chance on comes up roses. This is the time to make bold leaps of faith, take that risk, roll the dice, and have a go. No pressure, no expectations, just try it and see what happens. Join forces with Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). Look out for the number 6. You could make magic this week that will set you up for the rest of 2025. Play to win and be lucky, Libra!

You can be a force of nature, Scorpio, an irresistible, persuasive and overpowering presence. It’s time to play this role this week because you’ve got boundaries to push against and rules to break, paradigms to overthrow and old systems to smash. Be a rebel. Challenge for change. Push back on whatever feels restrictive or unfair, speak up for those who dare not, protect the interests of the people usually pushed aside. Use your power well and you’ll be rewarded.

If it feels good then do it! That’s your only rule this week, Sagittarius, and who knows where it will lead you. Maybe a good time, a wild time, a reckless time. Maybe towards the next level in your ambitious masterplan. Follow your instincts and intuitions, notice how you feel at every step and use that feeling as a guide and course-corrector. If you feel what you’re doing will have consequences, maybe negative ones, then think deeply and carefully. Can you take ownership? Are you willing to do what you think is necessary and pay the price for any damage or side effects caused? If so, carry on. If not, stop. Life is complicated, we’re neither saints nor sinners, we usually try our best and sometimes come up short. Don’t think in black and white, or heroes and villains. Do what feels good and check you can take responsibility for it too.

You are rising to a new occasion, feeling yourself elevate to new levels of potential, success, reward, and adventure. Life feels motivating and exciting this week because you have new horizons to head towards, plan for, and experience. We all need to freshen our landscape and take a new look at the direction we’re heading in. This Queen of Wands makes you feel purposeful and energetic. You can take the world on this week and barely feel a dent in your power and force field. So, put your energy into your boldest dream, your highest endeavor, and work hard. You will rise.

There’s a mystery to be resolved this week. Something that isn’t adding up or feeling quite right or sounding like the truth. Follow your hunches and gut instincts and ask deeper questions, validate the answers, probe, dig, look at motivation and activity more than what you’re told or shown. When you uncover the truth, you will see things differently, and it will impact your next step, so take the time to dig, it’s worthwhile. All Aquarians value truth highly and you have a transparent, pure approach to honesty. Make sure you’re getting the whole truth now.

You are naturally empathetic and compassionate, you understand the depth of the human soul and the complexity of our true nature. You feel for people, basically, and sometimes it's a lot, but you DO see this as a gift. And it is. The King of Cups lets you use your intuitive knowledge of other people's motivations, fears, and strengths this week to help repair, build, smooth, and create relationship bliss. You see them coming before they know they are! You read the room. You 'get' what is really going on and causing all of the fuss and noise. And you (re)act accordingly. It looks like magic, but it's just you knowing what you know.
