Aries Power moves in work and peace in love Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Ten of Wands Sign up for the Fabulous newsletter Thank you! Venus in Scorpio (from the 10th) puts pressure on relationships because things that usually lie dormant, unsaid, or simmering deep below surface-level start to emerge, demand attention, and show their true nature. The Ten of Wands hints that this secret-revealing activity will heighten your emotions, feel a little draining, and ask much of your patience and compassion abilities. So, Aries, take time for yourself this September. Seek solitude. Linger longer with folk who comfort and soothe you. Things will work out, this is just the bumpy bit where it’s all kicking off. You will get past it. Most read in Fabulous Work & Purpose – King of Cups When you follow your true desires and ambitions (the ones you fantasise about and visualise vividly coming true), you are unstoppable. September’s New Moon in Virgo AND Mars in Leo put fire in your belly and practical skill in your hands, all you need to do is let your heart’s passions lead you and the combination will be an irresistible force for good. This is THE month to make power moves in your career that truly light your fire. Omen to look out for – Four of Swords The number 4 or repeats of it (this is a nudge to commit to something, put down roots). Times when your batteries run flat, literally, physically or metaphorically. Do NOT push through or chug an energy drink. Seek a time out, a power nap, a reboot, a calming space. Advice from an Air sign to take something slower, at pace, in its own time. Listen well, this is good intel. About Kerry King Taurus Happy solitude, regrets addressed, lucky offersCredit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – The High Priestess Uranus moves into retrograde and you are visited by The High Priestess, provoking a phase of reflection and rumination this September. You are reviewing your inner circle relationships, some feel strained, some feel like they need reinvention, some feel safe and happy and you want to create more time for them. This curation begins passively, just thinking it through, getting your mind and priorities straight. And then life will bring opportunities for you to put those ideas in motion, to re-prioritise accordingly, to make some tweaks and shifts. And, honestly, you are enjoying your own company right now too- mindful walks, long TV marathons, strolls around the shop picking up fresh food, listening to music in the bath. Small pleasures for yours truly. Enjoy. Work & Purpose – Five of Coins Put together all the things you feel you missed out on, didn’t say yes to (and should have), bypassed or regretted and get them on paper. And then ask for a second chance, a life lesson or a redemption opportunity. And then, by the time the ambitious, rethinking Full Moon in Aries rolls round on the 26th, you will be served what you most need to revisit from that list. And what is left over- just write it off, put it behind you, let go of it. Purpose is as much about releasing things as focusing on things. You have to make cuts and losses to enable you to have time and energy to give what you do your all. No regrets. Purge and address them. Omen to look out for – The Devil Look out for the numbers 1, 5, 15 or repeats of them. Expect a tempting offer to come your way, maybe from a worldly person you look up to, and ask for time to consider because the devil IS in the details. Notice a moment when you think “I don’t want to do this anymore” and then SAY NO immediately, and withdraw, it’s a chance easy exit, don’t miss it. Gemini Wonderful love life and new revelations ahead Love & Relationships – Ace of Cups What a blessing the Ace of Cups is! A universally good omen for romance, passion, fertility, new friendships, family ties, pets, and even creative ideas. It represents the notion of “giving birth” to something in your life, something that comes with love. Look out for Water sign folk (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio) as they are good for you right now. Libra season on the 23rd is the peak time for this wonderful, blessed new news. If you’re entering into a new bond, do so with an open heart. You can trust this person. Work & Purpose – The Moon The Moon card is a powerful tarot card, and of course we are just through chaotic eclipse season, perhaps something was stirred up last month that you’re still wrestling with now. Maybe you thought your career, purpose, or education was heading in one direction and now it’s veered off elsewhere. You can regroup now. Ask questions, delve, probe, challenge, validate, research. If you ask the right questions, you will know exactly where you stand and what’s available to you. The Full Moon in Aries on the 26th is the peak time for revelations and new understanding of your true purpose and how the changes get you closer to it. Omen to look out for – Judgment Look out for the number 20 or repeats of it. This may be a year, past or future, that keeps cropping up- write it down, it means something. Notice moments you catch yourself in the mirror and think “who is that?” – zoom in and pinpoint why you don’t always recognise yourself. What aspect of your nature is a mystery to you? Accept that a spiky conversation is truly actually a piece of feedback, take it seriously but not too personally, it tells you as much about THEM as YOU. Cancer New landscape = new opportunitiesCredit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Four of Coins You are ready for a new scene, fresh faces, different routines, the addition of a new hobby or venue, the chance to meet different people and, if you’re single, a new channel or way of connecting to folk than the blasted apps and same old places. You feel on a loop. So, shake it up. Shake it all up. Don’t do a single thing you’d normally do, make tweaks and leaps to every social encounter and option available, push yourself way beyond your comfort zones, try and get around as many new places and unseen landscapes as you can. New environments = new opportunity. This is where you need to be: exploring. Work & Purpose – King of Swords Mercury moves from Libra to Scorpio this September which, alongside the cool-headed, strategic King of Swords, lets you butter people with influence up, and then hit them with your offer, pitch, proposal or application and achieve success. Most people don’t respond to things positively “cold”, they need to know who you are, what you’re about, feel the vibration between you. See all of your career moves in this way- first, the friendly intro… and, then, the killer negotiation. You will achieve more success than you can imagine, you were built for this type of approach because you’re charming AND shrewd. Omen to look out for – The Fool Look out for the digit 0, or places, notices, scripts where you’d expect a number but there isn’t one. Look again, there’s something you need to see there. Notice new tech upgrades that’d make your life easier, and try them out, something amazing is waiting for you to see it. Prime your radar for surprising, left-field trip or outing ideas that you’d never normally say yes to. Expect to hear an interesting idea (that you should act on) from one of your Air sign friends or colleagues. Leo Potentially the most powerful month of 2026 for youCredit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Two of Cups Lots of love life highlights coming to you this September. The Two of Cups is a beautiful card about falling (deeper) in love, feeling supported and understood, collaboration and alliance, the wonderful feeling of being in cahoots with someone who “gets” you. Enjoy it; your love life and relationship realm is the jewel in your crown, so revel in the close bonds and circles you’ve built. You are warm and loving. Let others love you back. Venus and Mercury let you be more vulnerable. Work & Purpose – The Star The incoming Full Moon in ambitious Aries on the 26th is THE time of the year for you to make a bold wish about your career, finances, or personal projects. What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail here? What power moves could get you further faster? Where do you need a little bit of luck? Consider, plan, prioritise, and hone your ideas down into one sentence, one bold mantra. And on the 26th, make this wish by repeating it in your mind and visualising it as you gaze at a flame. The Star tarot card is with you, it grants a wish. The higher you aim, the better the end result. Be bolder than you dare! Omen to look out for – The High Priestess Look out for the number 2 or repeats of it, also noticing duos and pairings that look promising or opportunistic. Can an alliance help you? If you have tarot or oracle cards, pull a card every day this September and absorb its guidance, take its advice. The High Priestess is a psychic force walking beside you, and you can call on her instruction through the cards. Notice your gut feelings and intuition, and pay more heed to them than others words or advice. Virgo A chance of a lifetime is comingCredit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Nine of Swords Don’t clam up, don’t push down your worries, doubts, or fears. The Nine of Swords is an anxiety card that plays up when we’re hiding our true feelings about something for fear of not being understood, liked, or taken seriously. Find someone you trust and speak about what bothers you most right now. I know you hate being vulnerable but Venus in Scorpio, starting on the 10th, will help grease the wheels of communication. You WILL be heard. Things WILL feel lighter, easier, and more manageable. It’s time to talk. Work & Purpose – The Fool Amazing, surprising, left-field energy and opportunity waltzes into your career, education or life purpose path this September, knocks you for six, and presents a wonderful new opening for you to progress through. You’ll never guess what it is. And you’d never have thought of this yourself, it’s a true fluke. Say yes. Say yes all day long, no hesitation. Travel, technology, Aquarius folk, or progressive causes are all associated with The Fool, so that might provide a clue. The New Moon in Virgo on the 10th starts this process and the movement of bold Mars into bolder Leo finishes it. You are on the move! Omen to look out for – Queen of Wands Look out for the number 5, in dates, groupings, money figures and house numbers. The change you’re encountering will be met somehow with the number 5 involved. Seek advice from trusted counsel, be it friend, family, partner, colleague or a professional. Other folk have wisdom to share, notice chances to have deeper conversations with these folk. Notice a course, class, or forum, exhibition or lecture happening this month that sounds fascinating- go along. Your mind will be opened. Libra Truth-telling is the theme at home, in work and loveCredit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Ten of Wands Your star sign’s season begins on the 22nd which is the perfect time to let others spoil, reward, praise, appreciate, and treat you. Stop doing all the heavy lifting, and chill for a while, and notice what others do when you’re not putting 100% effort in. Do they carry things for while? Or does everything fall down? If the latter, make a note, Libra, because it’s an imbalance that needs addressing or, dare I say, snipping off. At the same time, notice who comes forward and celebrates you, especially on your birthday. These are the folk to treasure. Work & Purpose – Ace of Swords Venus in Scorpio, from the 10th, makes everyone a bit more honest. You are notoriously diplomatic and calm, so it’s likely that folk in the workplace will be ‘fessing up all kinds of tidbits that are juicy, enlightening and maybe also useful. Open, honest dialogue is the key to career success right now, because you need to know what’s what, who’s who, and where you stand. Use your conversations and influence in your workplace to answer these questions truthfully and audit your position. From this spot, what’s possible? What’s next? What’s ripe for picking? What needs a change? The review you make now will set you up for a Winter of progress and promotion, so be rigorous and objective. It’s what you KNOW that unlocks the right and relevant opportunities. Omen to look out for – Three of Swords Look out for the number 3 or repeats of it, especially when you see trios of people of messages, something that is linked to communication. Notice a gut feeling about someone betraying or lying to you. Trust this gut feeling. Seek to validate it and get to the truth one way or another. Make sure your blocks and boundaries against people who’ve hurt you in the past are fully operational… someone unsavoury may be trying to take a peek into your life. Scorpio You are in demand in all kinds of ways. Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – The Lovers You are a person with layers, dare I say secrets. The Lovers compounds this into your relationship realm and focuses the complexity on who or what you’re attracted to. There are temptations, new options, adventurous ideas or escapades with your name pencilled on them. What to choose? The only guide should be TRUTH. Venus moves into your sign on the 10th which gives you both the motivation AND insight to see what your desires are, where they’ll be met, and the consequences of it all. If you’re prepared to pay the price then step right in. If not, then question how lasting and powerful this desire really is. Work & Purpose – Three of Wands Build on your successes, achievements, and positive networks and past results. Go where the demand for what you do or provide is, and you’ll be busy and prosperous. The Three of Wands will light the way for you, especially as Mars moves into Leo on the 27th, with signs, coincidences, de ja vu moments, and vivid dreams. You will be nudged into the right avenues and environments, and there you can showcase your stuff and get the response you wish for. If you play to the crowd, the crowd will applaud and want more! It CAN be that easy. Omen to look out for – Eight of Cups Look out for the number 8 and repeats of it. Notice this particularly around money or work tasks. 8 is a good sign that this is worth doing. Hold yourself to account to find a silver lining in everything that has gone awry recently. Don’t stop turning it over until you’ve found that sheen of good fortune, because it is that which will potentially become your biggest success in 2026. Second chances are in fashion. Sagittarius Making for new, uncharted horizons Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – The Fool A complete renewal and reboot of your relationship realm is possible this September. Perhaps across the board, but more likely in one key relationship, although it has a ripple effect across others too. Look out for Aquarians. Look out for people from overseas or who want to take you overseas. Look out for new connections online and via new technology. Look out for charities and progressive causes which you could join in with and meet like-minded folk. New faces are this month’s theme, people who will become important to you in time. Libra season really kicks this renewal energy off, from the 22nd onwards. Work & Purpose – Page of Coins The Page of Coins is the tarot’s student card and always brings an invitation to take up studying, be it informally or formally, professionally or personally, practically or creatively. What new knowledge or skill could unlock more earning or career potential for you? Mull this question over, notice possible openings around you, ask for feedback and, on the Full Moon in Aries on the 26th, make a commitment to something. Sign up, join in, download, apply. The path to success, right now, is via the route of education. Omen to look out for – Six of Swords Look out for the number 6, or repeats of it. Especially in locations, place names and house numbers. Notice ajar, barely open, stuck doorways and windows, especially if they feel like they should be shut. Notice the forbidden access, the liminal threshold that ought to be closed but isn’t. And let this spark an association in YOUR realm that might be similarly poised for unauthorised access… Capricorn Niches are waiting for you to occupy them Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Nine of Cups You are, deep down, a big softie and a romantic. You love to be loved and to show your love, without any fear of rejection or embarrassment. The conditions have to be right for a Capricorn to really declare their true feelings. Well, the scene is set this September, so declare to your heart’s content! The Nine of Cups promises that you can have whatever you wish for in your relationship realm, as long as you’re authentic and open about it. Smile and the world will smile back. Venus moves into Scorpio on the 10th and this would be the perfect day to declare yourself! Work & Purpose – Six of Cups Adulting squashes many of our natural interests, talents and leanings. Chasing the pound note can dull the shine of our ingrained hobbies, passions, and skills. Yet, very often in life, folk come full circle and end up making a living doing what they always were good at, or fascinated by, as a child. This feels like a plot twist coming your way, to a greater or lesser degree. What old habit, hobby, interest or goal could be relevant again now? The Full Moon in Aries on the 26th is an invitation to be your true self and be led by your true desires. Say yes to that and explore! Omen to look out for – Queen of Coins Remember what your mum, or other important maternal figures from your childhood, always praised you for, said you were good at, or encouraged you to try and do. Notice the things other people ask you to do or for advice about. Understand and list what it is that you feel in flow with and enjoy doing. Put all of this intuitive knowledge together and find your niche. It’s time! Aquarius Seeing things clearly and forging ahead with intent Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Eight of Swords Communicative Mercury moves into balancing Libra on the 10th which affords you the scope and opportunity to have constructive, even-keeled conversations about things you are projecting or assuming onto someone else. Get to the truth of it, because you’ve overthought this whole thing and jumped to inaccurate conclusions. Keep on going down this route and you’ll spoil what you have. Don’t assume you know what they’re doing or thinking… ask them outright, and be patient in getting to the real truth of it all. Probe and question, listen well, give it breathing space, come back around, share your hypothesis if it’s not too offensive! You are seeing something through a distorted lens, and it’s time to clean it. Conversation is the way. Work & Purpose – The Hierophant The New Moon in Virgo on the 10th gifts you determination, organisation and practical abilities. You feel like you can tackle something meaningful, you’re ready to take on a challenge. The Hierophant suggests coaching or mentoring others (there’s nothing that forces you to learn something as much as having to teach it to others), or taking on a course or active on-the-job experience yourself. Perhaps you think something could be done way better at work… you should try and PROVE it. Set up a trial, an experiment, a live focus group, a simulation and see what happens. Challenge the status quo in a practical way and you will be rewarded with responsibility and reward. Omen to look out for – Four of Wands Look out for the number 4 or repeats of it. Especially when it comes to timeframes and openings or vacancies for something or someplace you’d really like experience. 4 is your ticket there! Notice promotions and promotional content in your realm, relevant to yourself and others. There are invitations to rise, do more, be more, and be seen more all around you, notice them because something will be sparked by this attention, even if indirectly. You are looking to do and be more. Pisces Resolving all your problems and feeling better Credit: @inlovewithcameras Love & Relationships – Five of Swords Building up the start of diplomatic Libra season, you may start to notice relationships where you are giving more than you are getting- consistently and significantly. And that can’t carry on. Swallowing the injustice isn’t sustainable because it fosters resentment that will eventually explode. So, change how you are with certain folk. Don’t do what you normally do, instead step back and let them carry things. This is necessary, hold your nerve and reset the boundary. Do this and all will be well by the time Libra season starts on the 22nd. Work & Purpose – Nine of Swords Dread is an insidious feeling and warps everything it touches. Notice where it has a grip on you and take steps to take action about the things you fear happening, whether it’s around work, money, education, or life purpose. Don’t fester. Get active. Talk to someone, research new options and ideas, prioritise and pressure-test the best ones. By month end you will be in a totally new headspace and will have manifested creative new ways to overcome the worries you’ve been carrying and hiding. It’s time to act. Omen to look out for – Queen of Swords Notice women in power around you in your realm, even on social media, and listen well to their advice, experiences, and wisdoms. There’s something in there for YOU alone. Ask for advice or input from a senior person in your workplace or community who scares you (a little), this will have a very unexpected outcome. Notice sharp edges in your environment. Notice the association or sensation you experience when you do so, you’re being asked to acknowledge a sore spot (and do something).
