September 2023: Tarot Pick a Card
Hello, my soul friends! Today we’re going to find out what September 2023 has in store for you. This is my favorite month of the year since my birthday is on the ninth. I turn 33! Now let’s see how you can make September an amazing month for you too.
All you have to do is pick the pile that sticks out to you the most. Which animal inspires your intuition? That’s your pile and your tarot reading.
After you select your cards, scroll down to your pile or choose below.
Today I’m using the Muse Tarot and the Oracle of the Fairies decks (these are affiliate links that support me if you make a purchase). Remember that you have free will. That means you can manifest the positive and avoid the negative of any reading.
Now it’s time to uncover your September 2023!
Pile 1: Chicken
Themes
This is a really good month for you to live with intention. The first oracle card, Shine from Within, has the wisdom message of “Looks are only skin-deep – true beauty shines from within, and it’s time for you to shine! This is a time for self-acceptance and for revealing your true beauty.” That means building intentions starts with realizing who you really are.
You can create an intention that doesn’t resonate with you, but it won’t be as powerful. Journal or meditate on the traits you like about yourself and consider how these traits help your goals.
The next oracle card is Go Outside with the wisdom message of “It’s time to go outside! Tune in to the powerful peace of nature, wherever you are, and feel at one with your habitat.” Yes, this card is encouraging you to go out in the world, but metaphorically it means putting yourself into new situations.
We tend to turtle ourselves inward, but this points our intentions at ourselves and usually results in ruminating since we can’t act and manifest those intentions. You are yourself when you’re outside, and that self has the power to manifest. You don’t lose that power just because your environment is different.
The final oracle card is Wish Wisely with the wisdom message of “Use your wishes wisely to manifest your heart’s desire and take practical steps towards making your dreams come true.” September is a month of making incredible progress on one of your most important goals.
Look into how to make a three or five-year plan and brainstorm one for yourself. It’ll change over time, but this will help you to create a pragmatic step forward to supercharge your intentions. Chances are your current plan is one of fear: what you don’t want to happen and you inadvertently attract that. Create a positive plan instead by putting it into words.
Week 1: September 1st to September 10th
Your month begins with The Fool, Reversed which indicates a mistake. This doesn’t have to happen and I think you can avoid it by being careful.
The reason it likely takes place is that you’re so focused on protecting yourself that you hide from the world. This means you aren’t in a situation where you can look at your environment and react appropriately. You’re too closed in.
Try meditating or relaxing outdoors and take note of what’s in your environment. This will help you practice observation and reduce the chances of making a mistake as you’ll activate environmental mindfulness. If you don’t want to go outside, pick a particularly chaotic room in your home to do this instead.
Week 2: September 11th to September 17th
Things may get erratic this week with the Knight of Materials, Reversed. This can be a bad or good thing as changing things up can be refreshing. That said, you may find it frustrating if things are so different you’re uncomfortable.
Have a plan for how you’ll stay organized or destress when times get tough. I plan my day, but leave the time I plan to do tasks to be open. Your methods this week should have some level of flexibility to reflect what’s probably going to be an unconventional few days.
Week 3: September 18th to September 24th
The Ten of Materials, Reversed suggests the middle of the month may be challenging. Perhaps you’re reckless with your finances or you catch a cold. Whatever happens, you’re going to need to give yourself time and space to recover.
And perhaps it won’t even happen because you’ll be mindful and prevent it due to the practices in the previous two weeks. Remember tarot is a forecast: like weather, it’s only an educated guess based on the energy that’s present at the time of the reading.
But this is the week when you should step back and turtle yourself. It’s good to go out into the world, but everyone needs to return home and relax. This is that week.
Week 4: September 25th to September 30th
Your month ends on a much happier note with the Ten of Voices, Reversed. This indicates that the struggles you encountered this month are going to cease and things are going to start looking up.
Use this week as an opportunity to revise that three to five-year plan as you likely gained important perspective over September and perhaps even had something fortunate happen this week.

Pile 2: Seahorse
Themes
September is about setting things right for you again. You’ll have some initial struggles, but you’ll learn some important lessons and feel re-calibrated by the end.
The first oracle card in your spread is Magical Gateway with the wisdom message of “It takes courage and trust to venture into the unknown, yet this is where the greatest rewards are. It’s time to step boldly forward without looking back.” At the beginning of the month, you should do a special spiritual activity, like a long guided meditation or visiting an important landmark, because it’s going to further your spiritual awakening.
You can also choose to do something courageous in your normal life and that’ll progress things along for you too, but whatever you choose, know that it’s going to lead you down a path of important lessons that will help to change your life for the better.
The next oracle card is Friendship with the wisdom message of “Fairies and humans alike need friends. Now is the time to seek out those who will support and encourage you on your journey to fulfill your dreams.” This can refer to real friends or spirit guides.
If you want to focus on real friends, spend some quality time with those you care about, or do the courageous thing and go out in public and meet new people. For those seeking spirit guides, you can use your special spiritual activity to get closer to the divine.
The final oracle card in your spread is Motivation with the wisdom message of “When spring approaches the Flower Fairies urge you to ‘spring’ into action. If there’s something you’ve merely been thinking about doing, they say get busy and do it.”
You can use your special spiritual activity/courageous activity at the beginning to fulfill this or use the lessons from the first few weeks to prepare you to take the next step on something you care about.
Week 1: September 1st to September 10th
Things will slow down for you this week with the Eight of Inspiration, Reversed card. This may be disappointing if you were planning to achieve something this week, but use it as an opportunity to introspect.
The slower energy will give you time to make a powerful analysis of your life, spiritually or with your goals. So while you can do something like a special spiritual activity or act courageously, see it as a way to learn more about yourself rather than to accomplish a concrete life goal.
Week 2: September 11th to September 17th
Don’t start anything new this week. The Ace of Materials, Reversed indicates you’ll struggle with new projects. Some of you may also find yourself feeling a little sick or in a financially tight spot.
That said, it shouldn’t cause a problem with things that are already in progress. Focus on those projects instead and leave anything new for later on.
Week 3: September 18th to September 24th
Now is the time to judge what things you should keep and what you should let go. The Two of Materials, Reversed seems to suggest you’ll feel overwhelmed. Perhaps some things can be temporarily put aside, but ask yourself if you have too much going on in general.
It may seem like you’re being weak by scaling back, but people who focus on just a few things tend to do those things better anyway. This week isn’t a week of failure, but reorienting you for success.
Also, make sure you’re relaxing and enjoying self-care. This may be a good week to meet with friends or communicate with your spirit guides.
Week 4: September 25th to September 30th
The last week of the month ends on much better terms with the Temperance card. If you decide to go the spiritual route, you’ll find that your mind-body-connection is in good alignment this week. Those who chose the courageous act route will find their normal life getting easier.
Now is the time to start that new project you couldn’t last week. Also, the shift you’ll feel deep within this week will let you start a new chapter in your life that will be especially rewarding. So if you don’t already have a new project or perspective to start this week, brainstorm one and you’ll be surprised where your inspiration will carry you next.

Pile 3: Pig
Themes
This is a really powerful month for you with a lot going on. Most of what’s going on will be spiritual, mental, or emotional, so big events may not happen. Rather, you’ll have intense and private moments that will define your future.
The first oracle card is Healing with the wisdom message of “Now is a time for you to give or receive healing. Everyone has a natural ability to heal others – yes, even you!”
It seems like your spiritual powers, or a gift you have that can help others, are going to fully manifest this month, though most will find themselves experiencing healing before they use that ability on others.
The second oracle card is Temptation with the wisdom message of “Are you in denial about an unhealthy habit, perhaps one that makes you feel guilty? This fairy says you have the power to overcome temptation, whatever its guise.” The temptation you experience is likely one that weakens your healing ability.
It could be from bad habits you learned earlier in life, a bad person, or even evil energy. Know that you will overcome it though.
The final oracle card in your spread is Inspiration with the wisdom message of “Be prepared, as you’ll soon receive a visit from the Fairy of Inspiration. Come dusk or dawn, she can call at any time.”
You will be inspired to use your healing powers and integrate them with your life purpose this month, but the time it will happen varies with all who chose this pile. Be open to that divine spark because it will empower you and likely help you overcome the previous temptation.
Week 1: September 1st to September 10th
Something big will happen on a spiritual, mental, or emotional level this week due to the Awakening card. For some, it’s going to happen regardless of what you plan to do, but for others, it may only happen if you initiate it.
Embrace any opportunity to get in touch with your spirituality or engage your curiosity this week. An important lesson is coming your way if you do it.
Week 2: September 11th to September 17th
This week is likely to be the most challenging because of The Tower. This is often a negative card, and some of you may have a negative experience, but the point of this card is to break down that which doesn’t serve you so you can rebuild something better that’s in alignment with divine purpose.
So whether it’s a misfortunate event or a personal realization you need to rework your life, perhaps because of a temptation you’re trying to overcome, know that you’re going to build a better life in its place.
Week 3: September 18th to September 24th
Use traditional, productive techniques to organize your life. The Emperor indicates you’re going to take control over what you previously didn’t. But remember that emperors aren’t micromanagers. They take a broad view of their domains of expertise and get help when needed.
Allow yourself to feel a bit royal this week. Pamper yourself and enjoy the best, because that’s going to encourage you to ease into your purpose with healthier habits.
Week 4: September 25th to September 30th
The month ends with the Ten of Wands, Reversed. I see this as the lifting of burdens and the healing being more concrete. It can also indicate that you’ll heal others.
Either way, use the energy of The Emperor and this week to identify what you should be responsible for and let go of everything else. Integrating your gift that heals others means accepting you have some responsibilities, but not all others. You’re here for a reason and that’s the one you should manifest.
