September 2026 Astrology + Tarot Forecast: "I'm Unraveling"
Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley introduce their podcast and share a September 2026 month-ahead astrology and tarot forecast themed around Olivia Rodrigo’s “The Cure,” focusing on the idea of being “unraveled” after August eclipse season and entering Venus’s pre-retrograde shadow. Sarai pulls a tarot spread highlighting decision-making and emotional/spiritual knowing (Two of Swords/Four of Cups), embodiment and pleasure (Queen of Pentacles), leaving what no longer works (Eight of Cups), abundance and gratitude (Nine of Pentacles), curiosity as medicine (Page of Pentacles), ending savior/martyr patterns (Five of Cups reversed), listening and learning (Page of Swords), personal power (Queen of Wands), and sustainable harvest energy (King of Pentacles). Meredith then outlines key September transits—Mars square Saturn (Sept 1), major shifts and a Virgo New Moon (Sept 10), Venus in Scorpio themes, equity-focused Mercury in Libra aspects, Mabon (Sept 22), Sun–Neptune opposition (Sept 25), Aries Full Moon (Sept 26), Mars into Leo (Sept 27), and Mercury into Scorpio (Sept 30)—and they mention Gene Keys themes, collective grief, and resources to book readings/sessions.
As always, Sarai is using the Fifth Spirit Tarot.
