Your weekly tarot horoscope reading for September 2 to September 8

An upcoming Uranus retrograde forces you to slow down, stop relying on tech or data, and get back to trusting your instincts and living more fully in the present, without distraction.

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Ace of Wands

Meaning: Start a new system, organisation style, or project to actually create something that keeps you flowing as easily, quickly, and without interference as possible – from bills to exercise to meal prep to admin to work tasks. It’s all in scope.

New ways and means are the way forward. You are ready to overhaul and introduce fresh thinking to your everyday way of living. Try different things. Ask for advice. See how others do it. Adopt what you think might work, test drive it.    

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Five of Coins

Meaning: You are a hoarder. You find it very hard to let go of anything you claim as a possession. You get funny about de-cluttering and clearing out, unless you do it ruthlessly almost as soon as you’ve used something once (before the attachment starts!).

This week, be ruthless. Go through your possessions, to-do list, friendship circle, weekly commitments etc and strike off anything that has served its purpose, doesn’t bring use or joy, or feels old and stale. Get rid.    

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Ace of Swords

Meaning: You have got a mind or mental overwhelm situation brewing – too many thoughts, opinions, ideas, and stuff swirling around in that big old brain of yours… so take a load off.

Spend this week expressing yourself – to others out loud, to the mirror, to your journal, to a voice recorder. Get all of this mental clutter out of your head. Make lists. Let things go. Forgive and forget. Move on. Cancel stuff that isn’t working. Act on the truth of what you feel, playing to the truth will be what gets you through this to a better position.

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Knight of Cups

Meaning: Your social life is an area that is ready for some attention. The Knight of Cups sweeps in to ask you to make more effort in arranging, suggesting, researching the things you really fancy doing – be they outings, hobbies, trips, homely gatherings or new activities.

Nothing happens without it being sorted out and it’s time for yours truly to step up and make what you want to happen actually happen! Get the ball rolling and others will join in and help. People want to spend time with you!

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Justice

Meaning: You might hate me saying this but Justice would suggest that if only you’d take the well-meaning and good advice offered to you by others then your life would be easier! People have been helping and suggesting ways of doing things differently, but you’ve been resisting because it triggers your pride or ego to think others don’t like what you’re doing.

Put all of that aside and just accept this person has a point. Take the advice, it’s free and it comes from a good place. Stop being proud and defensive.  

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Hermit

Meaning: The Hermit is actually your tarot talisman card, representing your sign’s thirst for intelligence and knowledge. So, guess what… you do actually know best! Perhaps your only distraction from living your life organised and calm is when you listen to other people and let them browbeat you into doing it in a way you didn’t really want to.

So, trust yourself Virgo. You are the supreme of admin and organising and knowing how to practically do things perfectly!  

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Knight of Swords

Meaning: You need to be assertive this week and push back on things which aren’t actually your responsibility or problem, but are being nudged in your direction. Create a boundary, say no, draw a line, be bold.

The Knight of Swords will help you to say what needs to be said without it sounding angry or aggressive. You are a natural diplomat anyway but you just need to up the force with how you land your points. Don’t be taken advantage of. Don’t do what others ought to be doing. It’s on them, not you.   

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Five of Wands

Meaning: Too much of your energy has been siphoned off by negative or toxic people or situations recently, and it’s draining because you simply can’t win there. So, withdraw. Your ego makes you think that means quitting, but it’s actually wisdom and self preservation. Why give your time (freely) to idiots?

You have bigger, better brighter priorities and actions to tackle. You are pouring water into a hole-ly bucket. Stop! Invest in positive, healthy, happy, sustainable places and feel the rewards immediately.         

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Judgment

Meaning: Design your everyday life to serve, suit, and sustain you, and you alone. Even if others rely on you… if you’re not happy, well, capable, and enthused, then you won’t give them what they need. So put yourself first. Might feel selfish but it is not.

Judgment shows you’re going through a process of really learning what you want, like, and need. You have enough insight now to make some practical changes to how you live in order to deliver some of this. Do it this week.     

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: The Hanged Man

Meaning: To say what a practical person you are, you can get stuck in some strange ruts and habits which really don’t serve you well at all. You can be stubborn!

The Hanged Man asks you to be honest about a system, habit, process, or task that is just not working out. It’s a flop. Admit it. And then stop doing it. Go ask a few people what they think about it and get outside opinions. You are missing a trick. You need to get out of your head and find a new angle into this ‘thing’, and then it can work wonders!

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Seven of Wands

Meaning: Too many competing demands and pressures right now. You can’t see the wood for the trees because the wood is too crowded! Get your metaphorical axe out and start stripping back and pruning how much there is.

When it’s clearer, you will think clearer, and the next steps will be visible and obvious. Right now, it’s impossible to make forward progress because you’re pulled in all directions. It’s a struggle just to stand still! Streamline.

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: The Hierophant

Meaning: Go find your most practical, shrewd, realistic, and capable friends, family, and colleagues and get all of their best life advice, tips, hacks and input. What would they do in your shoes, regarding various things? What next step would they take? What do they wish they’d have known way back when?
