The Weekly Tarot Horoscope For September 28 - October 4 Has A Message For Your Zodiac Sign
Design: YourTango | Photo: Dean Drobot, CanvaThe Nine of Swords appears in reverse for the weekly tarot horoscope for September 28 to October 4, 2026, a message of hope for each zodiac sign. Since the Nine of Swords is Gemini energy and the moon is actually in that sign this week, all signs point to relief after a dark season or painful trial.
The waning gibbous moon enters Gemini on September 30 and stays there until October 2. This lunar energy prompts reflective conversations that lead you to moments of gratitude for whatever you feel connected to. In other words, take a moment to view whatever has been plaguing you from a new perspective. Filter through what worries you to find the joy in the situation. To quote Psalm 30:5, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Here are the joyful moments or messages of hope you can look forward to this week based on the tarot card for your zodiac sign this week.
Weekly tarot horoscopes for September 28 to October 4, 2026:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)

This week's tarot card for Aries: Eight of Cups
You've been through the fire and came out stronger because you absorbed the fire and enhanced your own. Now, where can you go to be and show off the fullest extent of yourself? That is what the Eight of Cups means for you this week.
Though Monday's waning gibbous moon in Aries and Taurus reminds you how much you love being you, you feel brand new and empowered under Thursday's waning gibbous moon in Gemini. The fun doesn't stop there, because you don't stop. This is only the beginning, Aries.

This week's tarot card for Taurus: Six of Pentacles
Two weeks ago, you received the Five of Pentacles, which meant that you were feeling lost or at a loss and needed a timeout. This week, the Six of Pentacles is a sign you are ready to confront the problem that caused the previous confusion or deficit so you can solve it once and for all.
Because this card has your sign's energy, Taurus, the moment you choose to do this is between Monday and Wednesday, when the waning gibbous moon is also in your zodiac sign. Though Monday is when you officially make the decision, Tuesday is when you feel relieved after a very necessary conversation.
By the time Mercury shifts into your opposite sign (Scorpio) on Wednesday, you draw a line in the sand that ensures you will never feel that loss or be lost again.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

This week's tarot card for Gemini: The Devil, Reversed
Between the card you received last week and this week's tarot card, this week is going to be very interesting for you, Gemini.
Last week, the Sun card appeared to reveal that you would finally be successful in getting that idea of yours off the ground. The reversed Devil card this week hints that your idea is about to take flight. All you have to do is push the throttle forward, pull back on the yoke, and steer this plane in the right direction.
Though this process will take up your entire week, your peak day is Sunday, October 4, when Psyche enters Virgo under a waning crescent moon in Cancer and Leo.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

This week's tarot card for Cancer: Queen of Wands, Reversed
For you, Cancer, the Queen of Wands reversed means you're done playing nice. Even more, you've channeled the Chicks and decided you're "not ready to make nice," nor are you "ready to back down." You want respect (a la Aretha Franklin), and this week, you're going to get it.
People are used to seeing your emotions, but they're not used to seeing your fire. As your fellow Cancer Kevin Hart puts it, they "gon' learn today," and today is Thursday, October 1. Under the waning gibbous moon in your neighboring sign (Gemini), you have no problem openly expressing yourself and having a necessary conversation about how you feel and how to move forward.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)

This week's tarot card for Leo: The Tower, Reversed
The Tower reversed reveals that you're done playing on the surface. You want something real. You want something deeper. You're ready to shake things up.
But only for what is worth your time, energy, and attention. After all, Leo, there's no need to dedicate yourself if they can't appreciate it, and you are now in the season of avoiding wasted energy and heartbreak as much as possible.
Though I see you ready to kick things off first thing Monday morning, the universe urges you to wait until Wednesday, September 30. Look at the symmetry. Not only is it the last day of September, literally helping you close out a month and a chapter, but it is the day that Mercury moves from balanced Libra to powerfully influential Scorpio.
If you want to make sure they hear and feel what you're saying, wait until Wednesday. That's divine timing at work.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

This week's tarot card for Virgo: Ten of Wands, reversed
Two weeks ago, you received two cards, and one of them was the Nine of Wands reversed. This was a hint that you were not taking advantage of an opportunity. This week, the Ten of Wands reversed tells me you've got work to do and you are ready to dig your heels in.
Thanks to Eros moving into Sagittarius on October 2, Virgo, you're about to feel an extra surge of inspiration regarding something you're passionate about. You may have felt stuck in the mud before and could not fathom how to get out, but under the waning gibbous moon in both Gemini and Cancer energy this week, you finally figure it out.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)

This week's tarot card for Libra: Knight of Cups
You know you are in love with love, Libra, and the Knight of Cups is acknowledging that for one reason: you let your heart take flight on the idea of love rather than the presence of it.
This isn't about you messing up, because you don't even subscribe to that. You believe everything happens for a reason, and you're right. Mercury shifting into Scorpio under a waning gibbous moon that passes through Taurus and Gemini energy reveals that to you on September 30.
Funny thing is, that moment is all you need to get right back in the saddle, which you do on October 1 when the 10/1 Portal opens.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

This week's tarot card for Scorpio: The Hierophant
Last week, the Page of Swords gave you new revelations. This week, The Hierophant is encouraging you to believe in them. Because once you do, Scorpio, miracles happen.
While Mercury moving into your sign usually makes some folks pull back from expressing themselves, you will become more intrigued by what has captured you so you can investigate why you believe it and either speak on it with more conviction or inevitably let it go.
This is not to say that you will make the declaration exactly on September 30 when the transition happens, but you absolutely will once October sets in.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

This week's tarot card for Sagittarius: Four of Cups, Reversed
According to the Four of Cups reversed, you're in your Hakuna Matata mode. As of this week, you're wiping your hands of this, giving a nonchalant shrug, and walking away.
There's no need to stress over what you can't control, can't change, or what has naturally run its course, Sagittarius. When the waning gibbous moon is in your opposite sign (Gemini) from Wednesday to Friday, you have a decision to make, and you choose yourself. As you should.
This may not have been the result you wanted, but you're still grateful for the experience and proud of the way you handled yourself. That's all you can ask for, right? Now, onto the next phase.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

This week's tarot card for Capricorn: Eight of Cups
This Eight of Cups means one thing for you, Capricorn: you are over it. You've made it through the desert, survived the drought, been baked in the sun, and squeezed water out of cacti. Now, you want to see the promised land, because old promises led you to a land of raisins and prunes.
The good news is that the journey officially ends when you finally walk away and go in a new direction. Even better news is that on October 3, you begin a new journey of lushness with gorgeous scenery and water that never runs dry. How do you get started? Well, you just start.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

This week's tarot card for Aquarius: Ace of Wands
Last week, the Five of Wands appeared reversed to acknowledge an inner conflict about attracting what you wanted, but it was not what you wanted. This week, having the Ace of Wands show up means you're ready to pivot and start over, because this isn't it.
On Tuesday, the energy of Angel Number Day 9/29 combined with the waning gibbous moon in Taurus makes you so grateful that you never settle. Other people call it stubborn. You like to see it as exactly what it is: you know what you want, and you're going for it, not what someone else wants.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

This week's tarot card for Pisces: Six of Swords, Five of Wands, Reversed, and Nine of Wands
Just like the three cards that came out to greet you, Pisces, this week is jam-packed for you. You have a lot going on, and it's because you are being divinely guided to a long-awaited breakthrough in October.
You're about to experience the change of a lifetime, one that changes the trajectory of your story and gives you a fresh narrative. The way things fall into place, it will make you wonder why it seemed so complicated before. You may even get even more frustrated by the delay when the truth is revealed, but per the third-quarter moon in Cancer on October 3, let it go.
Just focus on how sweet it is to finally be where you've always wanted to be, and relish the fact that it is better than you thought it would be.
