This week, from September 7 to September 13, brings a cluster of major cosmic events that demand attention. According to tarot and star sign writer Kerry King, a New Moon in Virgo, Mercury moving into Libra, Venus moving into Scorpio, and a Uranus retrograde all kick off on September 10. King describes this as "a week of home truths," where facing facts, getting a reality check, and bearing down on details become essential. The tarot cards, she says, can guide you toward the most important truth you need to face.
New Moon and Planetary Shifts Set the Tone
The convergence of these celestial movements on a single day is notable. The New Moon in Virgo typically emphasizes practicality and attention to detail, while Mercury's shift into Libra focuses on balance and communication. Venus moving into Scorpio intensifies emotional and relational dynamics, and Uranus retrograde prompts reassessment of personal freedom and change. King suggests that if you don't acknowledge reality, you can't see the future vision.

Zodiac Sign Tarot Card Meanings
For Aries (March 21 to April 20), the Six of Swords indicates readiness to leave or walk away. King says the grieving is done, and it's time to extricate yourself for good. Taurus (April 21 to May 21) draws Judgement, meaning you feel better about yourself and are done shrinking to make others comfortable. Being authentic is key. Gemini (May 22 to June 21) gets the Queen of Wands, signaling an end to drifting and coasting. Purpose returns to how you invest time and energy, with goals to smash and a life to live fully.
Cancer (June 22 to July 23) faces the Five of Cups, representing grief or anticipatory loss. King advises not to sink into overwhelming emotion; the future is unwritten, and the past can't hurt you. Leo (July 24 to August 23) draws the Three of Swords, revealing poor treatment or betrayal. King urges seeing what happened, surgically removing yourself, and letting them feel your absence. Virgo (August 24 to September 23) gets The Tower, suggesting letting things collapse if they only stand because you hold them up. Relief will be palpable, and attention can shift to healthier efforts.
Balance, New Beginnings, and Evolution
Libra (September 24 to October 23) receives the Three of Cups, emphasizing that pleasure doesn't need to be earned. Stop curbing enthusiasm and enjoy life, as you're ruled by Venus. Scorpio (October 24 to November 22) draws the Ace of Wands, urging you to start a new idea or project. New news is necessary to avoid circling the drain and limiting potential. Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21) gets the Nine of Coins, admitting things can improve. A new era of consistency begins and will yield success.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 21) faces the Death card, symbolizing killing off old habits or versions of yourself. Until winter, mirror autumn's shedding energy and let old things end quietly. Evolution starts with letting go. Aquarius (January 22 to February 19) draws the Ten of Coins, indicating a desire to settle and build a strong foundation. A decade-long project lies ahead, and the best is yet to come. Pisces (February 20 to March 20) gets The Sun, meaning life is good. Shine at full beam, celebrate wins, and bring hope to others.
