Air Signs – Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
Five of Swords + Four of Swords + The World
What futile battle are you trying to win, air signs? It’s time to stop swimming against the tide and simply just be. You’re trying for the Universe to give you a specific outcome, and it’s simply just not time for it yet. As we roll into yet another eclipse season, focus on stillness. Don’t engage or feed into the drama — the overall energy is too frazzled. What’s important now is a nervous system reset.
There’s a shift on the horizon though it may not come into effect until the fall equinox. A major chapter is coming to a close, even if you don’t know exactly what it is. So take the first two weeks of the month to chill. Book a massage, take a nap. Remember that what you’re trying to force isn’t happening for a reason. Surrender and let the current carry you where you need to go.
Fire Signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
King of Swords rx + Two of Swords + Five of Cups
You’re at a crossroads, fire signs — you have choices to make but none of them feel like “the one.” So instead of pushing through the discomfort and making a decision, you convince yourself that you’re waiting for some big sign from the Universe.
The road you want to go down feels irrational, but it’s also the thing that would force you to stop playing small. You’ve been doing the safe thing because it’s familiar, but you’re being asked to stretch beyond those boundaries. Instead of fixating on what isn’t working, pivot and focus on what is, and go from there.
Water Signs – Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
Three of Swords + Two of Pentacles rx + Ace of Cups
When the Three of Swords appeared last month, the message was about shrinking your emotional needs to keep the peace. This month it’s back and suggests that you’re still ignoring something that’s hurting you, but are you pushing it down hoping that it’ll go away? And while outwardly you’re doing a good job of holding it together, your wellbeing is slipping through the cracks.
Similar to the air signs, you too need to slow down and pour into yourself. No one else can do it for you. Get to the root of your hurt, get down and dirty and do the healing work. You’ll miss the blessing that’s coming if you let the pain consume you.
Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Ace of Swords + The Hanged Man + Eight of Swords rx
September is about getting clarity and a change in perspective, earth signs. Over the past few months, you’ve been stuck in an endless loop of self-doubt and limiting beliefs. But despite what it feels like, you’re not as powerless as you think you are. Like the fire signs, it’s time to stop looking for permission and answers outside of yourself.
Release the weight you’ve been carrying and free yourself!
