The week of September 21 to September 27, 2026, brings a busy period of cosmic activity, including the Autumn Equinox, the start of Libra season, and a Full Moon in Aries, according to tarot and star sign writer Kerry King. This combination signals a time for rebalancing, recalibrating, and feeling grounded as the world shifts. King advises embracing the romantic and pleasurable energy of Libra for social fun, while the Full Moon in Aries at week's end encourages putting yourself first and taking a courageous step toward something meant just for you.
Aries: Justice Brings Vindication
For Aries (March 21 to April 20), the Justice card appears during their Full Moon week. King suggests that everything will turn out right, though possibly not as expected. She advises following your conscience, speaking up, and being good to those who deserve it while sidestepping those who don't. A situation where you've been treated unfairly may resolve in your favor, with the truth emerging and vindication arriving. King counsels graciousness and moving forward with your head held high.
Taurus and Gemini: Momentum and Clarity
Taurus (April 21 to May 21) receives The Chariot card. Because Taurus is also ruled by Venus, Libra season brings a glow-up in love, pleasure, and money. King encourages striking while the iron is hot, taking chances, applying, pitching, changing course, or taking a giant leap into the unknown. The Chariot provides momentum, and Libra season adds good luck to your efforts.
Gemini (May 22 to June 21) draws The Moon card, which, combined with the Full Moon, means business. Clarity will emerge regarding unanswered questions or unresolved issues. King describes the Aries Full Moon's illumination as powerful, searing, ambitious, and empowering, providing the information and reassurance needed to make a bold step toward a lifelong goal. This week brings epiphanies, she notes.
Cancer, Leo, and Virgo: Goals, Relationships, and Progress
Cancer (June 22 to July 23) gets the Nine of Coins. Since the Moon rules Cancer, Full Moons always affect this sign. Aries' influence stirs ambitions and desires, prompting fresh or revamped long-term goals. King notes that much has changed in 2026, and you're a different person from January's version. Acknowledge this and let revised goals evolve, thinking a decade ahead and plotting a new life story without pressure, as you're playing a big but long game.
Leo (July 24 to August 23) receives the Two of Cups. The combination of Libra season and the Aries Full Moon boosts your love and relationship realm. The key is mutuality, reciprocation, and give-and-take. King advises focusing on relationships where people match your energy and turning away from one-sided affairs, which are a waste of time. This could involve falling in love, creating alliances, deepening friendships, or nurturing family ties.
Virgo (August 24 to September 23) draws the Four of Wands. This is the final week of Virgo season, so make the most of cosmic birthday vibes and good fortune. King encourages pushing outside your comfort zone to reach a goal, with the Universe meeting you halfway. Travel, education, promotion, and new territory are all in scope. You've outgrown something and are ready to step up to the next level—be brave and confident, or fake it until you make it.
Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius: New Season Energy
Libra (September 24 to October 23) gets the Five of Swords. Your season starts on September 23, bringing an extra dose of everything you could ask for. King advises using Libran tact and diplomacy to smooth over tensions or fractions. Cross words and distant rifts have no place in your season. Mediate, negotiate, call a truce, and bring peace and harmony. If you cannot, walk away and draw a line under it, leaving tensions dormant.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22) receives The World card. This Aries Full Moon is significant for Scorpio, as both signs were once ruled by Mars. Something is drawing to a close, a conclusion, or a fruition, and you're looking ahead to your next big goal. This may involve a home or location change, a new landscape, a massive trip, or a venture with global aspirations. The Full Moon casts lunar light on your ambitions, letting you see them in their entirety and feel enthused.
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21) draws the Nine of Wands. King advises resolving to enter autumn with a clean slate and tackling something you've been putting off. The Nine of Wands reassures you that you have everything needed to overcome this obstacle—you're just procrastinating, and the dread is building. Stop that and get stuck into the next steps. The path ahead will form quickly and easily.
Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces: Rest, Wishes, and Standing Up
Capricorn (December 22 to January 21) gets the Ten of Wands. King notes that the turn of season often causes tiredness, and this card gives full permission to rest and go at a steady, even, slow, and sustainable pace. No extras, no extremes, no over-commitments. Trim the schedule, do the minimum, and carve out dedicated time to rest, relax, eat well, and do light reorganizing to make the weeks ahead look easier. Less is more this week, setting the tone for a restful autumn.
Aquarius (January 22 to February 19) receives the Nine of Cups. King suggests making a wish under the Aries Full Moon. The Nine of Cups is a short-term wish pass granting a dream come true in the coming nine days if you visualize, believe, and breathe life with action into your goal. The higher you aim, the better the outcome. Dance to your own drumbeat and make something amazing happen.
Pisces (February 20 to March 20) draws the Knight of Swords. A Full Moon heightens sensitivities and emotions for Water signs, so you might feel touchy or raw. King suggests letting feelings out and saying how you really feel, giving some back. The Knight of Swords is bold and ruthless and doesn't bow to others. Borrow this energy to stand up for yourself, especially against pressures you'd usually surrender to. As King's dad used to say, 'the worm has turned'.
