Aries
Aries
The skies are quiet for Aries this season, though you may feel the tug of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 17th happening right on your border with Pisces. The dark eclipse in the watery realm of the Fish may make your emotions seem hazy and ill-defined, requiring more thought when making big decisions in mid-September. The moon enters your sign after the eclipse, and will actually pass through your domain twice this season - once as the season begins as a Waning Gibbous Moon, and then again at the end of the season, also as a Waning Gibbous Moon.
You may feel like you are plowing forward and making progress, yet when you look at what you have, you’re getting the feeling that it’s not enough. Doubt is hard to handle for the fiery ram who loves to cover distance and blaze a trail, but trust that you are making progress. Remember that not all rewards are tangible: spiritual, emotional, and relationship improvements are sometimes more valuable than financial or material gains.

Taurus
Taurus
Things are going a little topsy turvy for you this month, Taurus - but don’t fear! Uranus, who has been floating upright in your sign, will hit reverse when it goes retrograde on September 1st. An airy planet of eccentricity and new ideas, Uranus in retrograde can feel like your world is flipping upside down. The nudge to step out of your comfort zone is now becoming a shove - something extra difficult for the steady and grounded Bull of the Zodiac.
You have a choice - dig your hooves into the dirt and ferociously try to hold your ground, or give in to the push and let yourself go with the flow. If you can embrace some spontaneity and let yourself be open to new ideas and trying new things, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you find. It will be extra challenging to pursue your goals in the usual way, so consider using unconventional and creative methods to find success this season.
Tarot Card : Ace of Swords
Gemini
Gemini
Jupiter remains steady in your sign this month, Gemini, shining a light on possibilities. With the planet of luck upright and steady in your realm and your own intellectual nature as an air sign, you stand in a good place to make educated decisions. At the end of August, the moon will arrive for a visit as she becomes a lovely Last Quarter Moon in your sign. Half in shadow and half in light, she resembles your duality as The Twins and also the duality within you - your mundane and your spiritual lives stand in balance.
With a bit of luck from Jupiter on your side and with things in balance, this is an auspicious time for you to reach beyond what you know. Where would you like your spiritual practice to be? How would you envision a happy and well-balanced spiritual life? This coming season looks to be a good time to assess your practice goals and spot new opportunities for connecting with your inner self and your divine.
Tarot Card : The High Priestess
Cancer
Cancer
You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders lately, Cancer, and the burden is digging in. Look to the skies at the end of this month - your ruling planet, the Moon, will come for a visit. As a waning crescent moon, she reminds you that everything must come to an end - but don’t fear. The dark times don’t have to be scary, they can be times of healing. She is preparing for a time of rest as August moves into September, and she will encourage you to do the same.
It especially important for you to heal and rest in preparation for what is to come. In early September, Mars – a planet of fire, aggression, and competition – will come barreling into your realm. Its fiery energy can be scalding, especially to the water-aligned Crab of the Zodiac. But rather than fight it or try to hide in your shell, consider the possibilities of using this energy. Mars is a planet of action and forward movement: if you struggle to handle or remove your burdens on your own, then this blaze of power close to home may be what you need to sear your wounds closed, so that you can start again - refreshed and free.
Tarot Card : Ten of Swords, Reversed
Leo
Leo
Mercury is sticking around your place this season, Leo. Throughout August, the planet of communication is stubbornly in retrograde - adding an extra layer of challenge to your social life, both in person and online. But no fear! At the end of August, Mercury will go upright - giving you a much-needed breath of fresh air. Channels of communication you thought were closed or were causing strife may suddenly clear up. If you were hoping to apply, audition, or otherwise spread your natural talents, September is looking to be a better time to do so.
In combination with Mercury going upright, the Moon will stop by your sign for a visit just as August tips into September. As a waning crescent moon, she will be the tiniest sliver in the sky, preparing for her time of rest. There will be things you want to do and things you have to do over the coming weeks, but even the mighty Lion only has some much energy to burn. Mercury urges you to think and plan about where you direct your light this month. The Moon reminds you that if you spread yourself too thin, you won’t be able to shine at all. Take the step when the time is right, but know when you need your rest.
Tarot Card : Two of Pentacles
Virgo
Virgo
The bright and fiery sun arrives in your sign on August 22, heralding the arrival of Virgo season! The sun’s position is now where it was when you entered the world. With the sun burning bright and beautiful in Virgo, you may feel a tug of motivation and a push to achieve - but where to direct your energies this month?
Virgo is a stable and dedicated earth-aligned sign, and you’re currently standing on the high ground with the sun at your back, illuminating the way forward. The arrival of the New Moon in sign in early September is a reminder not to rush. Mercury, your ruling planet, is coming home to you early September as well - encouraging you to tap into your networks to help you plan your goals.
Sun, New Moon, and Mercury - you have a celestial advantage right now, Virgo! Use your high ground to set your sights on the horizon. Take stock of where you are, where you want to be, and the best paths to get you there. Don’t be afraid to stop for rests when you need to, and know that you have others close by who are willing to lend a hand. When you’ve decided on your path - step forward! This is your season. May it be a beautiful one for you.
Tarot Card : Knight of Pentacles
Libra
Libra
It’ll be alright, Libra - you’re doing fine! Energy has been unstable for you lately, and you’re likely feeling a strong pull to get away from it all. Take heart and look to the skies - Venus, your ruling planet, is coming home to your realm at the end of August. The planet of beauty is there for you, ready to support you with her love and a boost of needed self-confidence. She encourages you to find ways to treasure yourself. It’s time for some wholesome self-care.
The moon will also swing by your sign briefly this season in early September. As a waxing crescent moon, she may appear small and not very strong to the naked eye, but she is growing and making steady progress. Follow her lead - even if you don’t feel 100% ready, trust that you are more capable than you feel. Don’t let a voice of doubt hold you back or keep you from shining. Take your time of rest and self-care, but then emerge into the light. You have every right to be your wonderful, beautiful self, and the world is lucky to have you in it!
Tarot Card : The Hermit, Reversed
Scorpio
Scorpio
The realm of Scorpio is dark this month, with no planets taking up residence in your waters aside from the brief passing of a Waxing Crescent Moon in early September. Far away, your ruling planet Pluto is in retrograde, passing from active Sagittarius into dedicated Capricorn. You may feel the slight shift from roaming ambitions into more productive work and goal-setting. Your secondary planet Mars is even further away, moving from communicative Gemini into the emotional world of fellow water sign Cancer.
With your waters quiet and dark, you have time to think. This is a period of inner stillness, granting you the opportunity to see things clearly. Where do you hope to end up, and are you headed there now? Or are you distracted by less important things? You are currently free from the pull of strong influences and without the haze of illusion - use it to assess your goals, direction, and to see the bigger picture.
Tarot Card : The Moon, Reversed
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
The skies are mostly quiet in the realm of Saiggtarius this month, although the moon will come to stay with you in mid-September. In your domain, she will become a First Quarter Moon - representing balance, harmony, and equality. Your ruling planet Jupiter is currently on the exact opposite side of the Zodiac, in your opposing sign Gemini. With your planet of luck hanging out in communicative Gemini, you may feel a pull to be more adventurous within your social circles this season.
All in all, you’re in a good spot right now, Sagittarius - there’s still a ways to go to reach your goals, but you have a good vantage point. Look to the areas of your life that feel balanced and find your sanctuary there. With any extra energy or time you have, consider connecting with others. If you are planning a trip or a big change, be sure to talk with someone who has experience - they can help you find the easiest path forward on your soon-to-be adventures.
Tarot Card : Three of Wands
Capricorn
Capricorn
Dig in and stay strong, Capricorn! Pluto retrograde is coming to your sign on September 1st. The planet of transformation is topsy-turvy right now, which may make it harder for you to move forward and find the change you need. Paired with that is your ruling planet, the structure-loving Saturn, who is also in retrograde over in the deep waters of Pisces.
Between Pluto retrograde at home and Saturn retrograde nearby, you may feel like your hooves are stuck in the mud. Routines may be harder to settle into and keeping yourself - and others- on schedule is looking to be challenging. But when situations are tough, look inward. The things you can’t change can be so frustrating, but you’re not powerless - the Sea Goat is a grounded, determined sign with the advantage of endurance. Any troubles in your path will pass given time. Keep your determined gaze set on your goals and keep on climbing.
Tarot Card : Strength, Reversed
Aquarius
Aquarius
The airy realm of Aquarius is mostly quiet this season- Pluto retrograde will leave briefly to visit Capricorn this season, and no other planets will indulge in your hospitality aside from the brief passing of a Waxing Gibbous Moon in the middle of September. As a growing moon, she is a force of development and ambition. Your ruling planet, the eccentric Uranus, is away in the realm of Taurus and will flip into retrograde on September 1st. Although distant from your own sign, you may feel the pressure of retrograde Uranus pushing you away from isolation and individuality towards more communal situations.
You’re a creative and intellectual soul, Aquarius, and you’d benefit most this season from finding ways to share your talents with others. Look for ways to connect with others who share your passions. Don’t be afraid to be the one to put the offer on the table - even if it feels hard to get started or to make the plans, know that once you’re with friends and are doing what you love, you’ll have a wonderful time.
Tarot Card : Three of Cups
Pisces
Pisces
The watery realm of Pisces is alight with activity this season - get ready for a Full Moon in your sign in mid-September! It will be slightly shadowed by a partial Lunar Eclipse. Saturn, a planet of order, remains stubbornly in retrograde in your realm this season, which can make it hard for you to stay on track and follow a routine. In tandem with Saturn is your own ruling planet, Neptune, who is also in retrograde in your waters. With the planet of dreams and illusions upside down, it can be hard to tell what is real, what is iminagary, and what is pure wishful thinking.
Between the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, retrograde Saturn, and retrograde Neptune, you may find clear decision-making to be difficult in the coming weeks, Pisces. This is not a time to act rashly, but rather a time to think things through with care - trust that time will help you distinguish truth from illusion. Be extra aware of your mindstate - do you feel overwhelmed or burnt out? There’s a lot going on, so don’t be afraid to close the door, turn off the lights, and retreat your own own inner sanctuary for a bit. Listen to your mind, body, and your needs and remember to take good care of yourself.
