Mercury retrograde arrives this week, bringing with it several notable astrological shifts worth watching.
The week begins on the 5th as Venus, the planet of love and beauty, moves into practical, detail-oriented Virgo — an energy that already matches the ongoing Virgo season.
On the 9th, Mercury turns retrograde in diplomatic Libra. While you may feel tempted to solve problems or hold important conversations, it’s wise to move deliberately and avoid rushing decisions during this transit.
Then on the 10th, a Full Moon in intuitive Pisces lights up the sky. It’s a packed week astrologically, so we consulted the Tarot for clear guidance. Below is a sign-by-sign Tarotscope to help you navigate the upcoming energy.
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for September 5 – 11, 2022
Aries
Knight of Wands
Last week you were advised to slow down, and now the Knight of Wands appears upright — indicating you’ve taken that lesson to heart. Your enthusiasm and drive are back in alignment, so feel free to pursue goals and take calculated risks. Keep recent lessons in mind as you move forward to avoid repeating mistakes.
Taurus
The High Priestess (Reversed)
This week your intuition feels muted or out of sync. The High Priestess reversed suggests you may be overanalyzing or forcing answers that aren’t ready to reveal themselves. Give your inner guidance some space and avoid pushing for clarity before it naturally appears.
Gemini
Queen of Cups (Reversed)
It’s time to check in with your emotional world. The Queen of Cups reversed signals that feelings have been neglected, leaving you tired, restless, or disconnected. Instead of scattering your focus outward, spend time turning inward to tend to your emotional needs.
Cancer
5 of Wands (Reversed)
Disruptive energy has been swirling, and you’re ready for quiet. The 5 of Wands reversed shows you’re withdrawing from petty conflict and seeking calm. Stay true to your feelings if they arise, but maintain healthy boundaries as you create space for peace.
Leo
10 of Wands
You’ve reached a limit. The 10 of Wands points to carrying too much responsibility and the need to release or delegate. Let go of tasks that aren’t yours to shoulder; your willing spirit can only carry so much before it becomes counterproductive.
Virgo
The Hermit
As a sign naturally aligned with introspection, The Hermit invites you to retreat and reflect. This period offers a chance to reconnect with authentic parts of yourself you may have set aside. Embrace solitude as a productive step toward clarity and genuine progress.
Libra
Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune urges trust — in yourself, others, and the unfolding of events. This card often signals a turn of luck, but its power increases when you release tight control and allow life to move. Consider where you can surrender to opportunity and take a courageous step forward.
Scorpio
The Emperor (Reversed)
Authority and control are in question this week. The Emperor reversed suggests tension around leadership, either with others or within yourself. Take extra time to plan and assess before making major moves, and practice patience as you sort through what leadership should look like now.
Sagittarius
9 of Pentacles (Reversed)
Comfort with abundance may feel awkward right now. The 9 of Pentacles reversed points to resisting well-deserved rest or enjoyment, possibly out of guilt or habit. This week asks you to acknowledge that treating yourself is acceptable — a little indulgence can be restorative.
Capricorn
The Magician (Reversed)
Creative momentum feels blocked. The Magician reversed can indicate burnout, scarce resources, or difficulty turning ideas into action. Keep experimenting and taking small steps; even imperfect progress will help reignite your flow.
Aquarius
9 of Swords (Reversed)
Old anxieties and sleepless nights are being addressed. The 9 of Swords reversed shows you confronting fears and working toward relief. The process may be uncomfortable, but putting these worries to rest will restore your ability to find true rest over time.
Pisces
The Sun
The Sun brings renewed clarity and confidence. After navigating tough experiences, you’re stepping into a more authentic, joyful version of yourself. The path ahead feels brighter, and you’re ready to shine with renewed purpose.
Full Moon Madness & More
The Full Moon arrives amid several planetary shifts, making this a week of intensified emotion and opportunity. The Tarot insights above can help turn a busy astrological schedule into a practical plan. Use these messages to balance action with reflection as you move through the week.
