Every Zodiac’s Tarot Reading For This Week’s Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon will be full on Tuesday, September 17th – it will be a supermoon and there is a partial lunar eclipse, meaning there is a lot of energy and power coming up for everyone. Over the following days, that energy could contribute to big things coming your way – from messages to key milestones. The Harvest Moon can indicate abundance and renewal, and as the eclipse is coming in the sign of Pisces, brace yourself for some emotional moments.

The cards in this three-card tarot reading for your sign indicate the following:

Embrace  – What energy / ideas should you hold on to? 

Accept – What will be challenging, but needs to be accepted in the coming days? 

Let Go – What energy / ideas should you let go of, to improve your future?

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius (Fire Signs)

Embrace

8 of Wands

You have a goal in mind, and a plan on how to get there. It’s time that you dedicate yourself to that. Recently you might have felt stuck, but things can start to move quickly if you act decisively. Take advantage of the large amount of energy coming your way from the harvest moon and move now, while momentum is in your favor.

Accept

9 of Wands

You’re going to need to be resilient and persistent, and you need to accept that there is still a lot of work to be done. Be careful of self-fulfilling prophecies. Be defensive, especially of your time and resources. You might be feeling exhausted, battered, and weary – but if you keep pushing forward, you’ll make it to the finish line.

Let Go

The World, Reversed

You need to let go of the idea that you are incomplete. Stop telling yourself the narrative that you can’t move forward and need to repeat lessons you’ve already learned. Instead of holding on to your disappointment about the details that didn’t go your way, focus on all that you have accomplished. Embrace your progress, just as it is, and recognize your achievements – just as they are.

Overall:

Two of the cards in this three card reading are wands, which is a big indicator that you’re in a very creative mode right now. You’ve been working on a project for quite some time, but haven’t felt that all the pieces were in place for you to move forward. If you give your energy to it, you’ll see huge progress. Just be mindful that the last parts of this effort will require a lot of your energy and time. Don’t get caught up in your idea of what perfection should look like – embrace what you have and what you are accomplishing, and continue to invest in your creative vision.

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn (Earth Signs)

Embrace

3 of Swords

It’s a time of heartbreak and huge challenges, and you need to embrace how to release that pain and how to overcome the grief you’re feeling at this moment. One of the constants in this life is change, and as the adage goes, this too shall pass. Allow yourself to grieve, and embrace your resilience in the face of heartbreak and pain.

Accept

10 of Wands

You are close to the finish, but are overburdened. Be careful not to burn yourself out. Accept that you can not do it all, and that it is time to prioritize what you are carrying. You are not meant to carry it all. Determine what to let go of so that you can bring forward only the things that will help you reach your goal. 

Let Go

The Moon

There is something secretive or mysterious around you, and it’s time to let go of your preconceived notions about the situation (they’re just causing a lot of anxiety for you). Don’t allow the fact that you don’t know everything about the situation to trip you up because sometimes life is about not knowing it all and having to move forward anyway. Pay special attention to your gut feelings and your dreams and let your intuition guide you. 

Overall:

With the upcoming lunar eclipse, there’s a lot of energy around that Moon card in the position of ‘Letting Go.’ You’re in a rough position right now, and it’s hard to know for certain how to move forward when facing so many challenges. You’re carrying a lot of burdens and dealing with a sense of heartbreak and loss on top of it all, and have no idea which way to turn.Remember that you don’t have to carry it all yourself. Use your intuition to prioritize what will help you most in your journey ahead.

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius (Air Signs)

Embrace

7 of Swords

Embrace the fact that being silent about plans is sometimes necessary. You’re going to have to be very clever, and you might have to be stealthy about your plans. The Seven of Swords might also mean that someone is being deceptive with you. This isn’t the time to allow everyone to see what you have up your sleeve. Save the more overt tactics for when you’re in a different situation. 

Accept

Eight of Cups, Reversed

Everything around you indicates that it’s time to move on, even though you’ve invested a lot to get where you are – yet you just can’t seem to do it. It could be that feelings of insecurity are holding you back from turning the page to a new chapter, or the intuition that there is something more to be understood and learned from the situation. Reflect on what has happened, and give careful consideration to why you feel the need to stay.

Let Go

7 of Pentacles

You need to let go of the traditional, external markers of progress. The work you are doing, in and of itself, offers fulfillment and it’s much more than just checking things off of a list of accomplishments. It’s okay to spend more time fully exploring a lesson you are being presented with, and giving yourself a chance to process and more deeply understand the life you are living.

Overall: 

There are two sevens in this reading (The Seven of Swords, Seven of Pentacles), which is an indication that there is something out of balance, and there are a lot of forces beyond your control at work.  Give yourself the same grace you’d give to others. Realize that extenuating circumstances are at work. It’s okay if you take a bit more time to consider your moves carefully, especially given how off-kilter things feel.  Allow yourself more time to process everything you’re experiencing and to navigate this novel (and tricky!) situation. 

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces (Water Signs)

Embrace

4 of Wands, Reversed

While external validation and support is important to our experience, there’s a lot going on right now. You might be feeling a bit lost in the shuffle. Things feel extremely unstable. You do need a sense of stability and harmony, but it’s time for you to create that for yourself. Don’t let yourself get caught up in drama, or allow that to make you feel less secure. You’ve got this! 

Accept

The Hanged Man

Accept that there’s a big pause in the action. Surrender to what is going on around you, don’t fight where things are taking you. You’re at a turning point, and instead of fighting it and being broken, allow yourself to see the world from this new perspective. Use this time to re-align yourself. A break in the action doesn’t mean that there’s nothing happening! You’re still making progress!

Let Go

The Ace of Pentacles

You want to start planting a bunch of seeds and putting yourself on a path of overt material abundance. Perhaps letting this concept go would allow you to see the abundance that surrounds you. Let go of your fear of ‘needing’ to manifest abundance or hit traditional milestones. At the center of this experience is you, and you have the power to change your perspective.

Overall:

The Hanged Man, a Major Arcana card, carries a lot of weight and power in this reading. It indicates that a shift in perspective is necessary. It has a large amount of energy with the Ace of Pentacles, and these two cards working together mean that looking at things from a different point of view is necessary for growth and development. Instead of comparing your current situation to where you want to be, consider how you are defining your desires, and how they align with your beliefs and ideals.
