The Autumn Equinox, on September 22, marks the end of summer and signals 2025 is coming to a close.
While many people reserve their resolutions for New Year, the final full season of the year is actually a perfect time to reboot – or at least pick up where you may have fallen off in January.
So, let’s draw three tarot cards for your star sign to help guide you: one for where to rebalance, one for what to let go of, and one to reveal the fresh intention you should plant now.
Autumn also brings the Witch’s New Year in the shape of Samhain (or Halloween). Fancy some more insight into what it holds for you? Get my unique and limited edition reading here.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Rebalance – The Devil
Stop chasing something you know is no good for you in the long run. Temptation visits all of us, all the time, but you’re old and wise enough to know that this one won’t end well. Stop.
Let go – The Sun
A doorway you didn’t enter might well have led to good things but that moment has now passed, so put it firmly in your past and don’t look back. Better opportunities are coming (but you’ll miss them if you don’t turn and look in front of you).
Plant a fresh intention – The Star
Plan for a dream come true and manifest it by February 2026. You are due a wonderful wish to be granted, make it count, invest in your biggest dream!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Rebalance – The Emperor
A relationship has gotten out of kilter, someone has too much control (is it you?) and this dynamics needs urgent attention to stop it self destructing. Step back, recalibrate, behave differently. Focus on making things flow two-way, not one!
Let go – Two of Cups
A close relationship really has run its course. Once upon a time, you were like soul mates, but things have cooled and soured. Let this go. Maybe, once free and released, the bond can heal and return to you both. Just let it be for now.
Plant a fresh intention – Knight of Cups
Focus on creating a new social circle, building friendships that are brewing nicely, activating new acquaintances in places you go to often, saying hi to familiar faces. It’s easier than you think because you have natural charm and warmth. People want to get to know you.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Rebalance – Death
Your year has brought many changes and it’s not over yet! Keep adjusting and adapting, and expecting more opportunity to grow, shift, pivot, and transform. You are moving into a 2.0 version of you, ready for 2026. Embrace this process.
Let go – The Hierophant
A paradigm, model, framework or ideology you set great store by simply doesn’t work for you anymore – you don’t really believe in it, and perhaps you’ve outgrown its limitations. Find your own rules! Be a rebel and break free.
Plant a fresh intention – Six of Wands
Act like you’re a winner already (you so are) and build on the best successes you’ve had this year. Do more, amplify, repeat and plus it, add bells and whistles, expand the scope. You are in demand and when you play to that success story you’re irresistible!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Rebalance – Eight of Cups
Stack up the setbacks and problems you’ve encountered this year and sift through them for silver linings, life lessons, nudges you still need to act on, and surprising outcomes. Not everything bad was that bad. Many things worked out well in the end – savour that truth and use it to build resilience. You can handle anything.
Let go – Seven of Cups
Wishing and pretending don’t make things so. Reality bites. You are prone to magical thinking, to deluding yourself so that you can remain as is, in your comfort zone shell! Come out and peek at the current situation as it truly is. And tackle it accordingly. Avoidance only creates delay and further harm.
Plant a fresh intention – Judgement
Be fully and wholly yourself, undiluted and full throttle. You are a wild, wonderful, beautiful person and personality, and sometimes you diminish yourself to fit in, not be ‘too much’, or avoid rejection. Take off the filters and let the world take you at your full glory… things will change (for the better).

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Rebalance – Five of Cups
Grief isn’t something you can ever ’complete’ or put away for good. Once you’ve loved someone, or something, for a long time, life will always bring you reminders. Embrace your grief as a part of you vs a challenge to overcome. It’s okay.
Let go – The World
You have completed something important and meaningful and it’s time to celebrate and then reset your intentions, but you’re hesitating. You are lingering in the ‘old world’, maybe not wanting it all to end. You can’t stay here, it’s a limbo place. Get ready to move onto your next, amazing chapter. Everything has a life cycle.
Plant a fresh intention – Ace of Swords
You are done with biting your tongue and not saying what you feel needs to be said. Other people’s ‘peace’ is not worth sacrificing your own for! A new era of you speaking up, rightfully and compassionately, when you see untruth, injustice, or unkindness in your realm is waiting. Start with the hardest truth and the most difficult dialogue. You will handle it beautifully, the air will be cleared, and things restored to normal.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Rebalance – Six of Swords
Something ended in the last six months and you’re still kind of getting used to the ‘new normal’, learning how to feel like yourself in this new landscape or role. Take your time, be patient, but root yourself firmly in the here and now.
Let go – Seven of Wands
Let go of competing or trying to attract the attention of someone or a group of people. If you have to fight this hard for it, then it’s not meant to be. Whatever this ‘prize’ is, it’s not for you, and forcing it your way would feel like a hollow victory. Let go of what feels like over-effort.
Plant a fresh intention – Eight of Swords
Do something meaningful and unique just for you. No one else need agree or approve. No one else has a say here. And this also isn’t about doing what others might predict or expect. Strike out and treat yourself to something wild, spontaneous, and totally unique. You have earned it.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Rebalance – Temperance
Temperance is all about balance, moderation, harmony and finding your solid ground when all around has been changing and shifting – 2025 has felt that way. Know now that you’re on safe ground. You can place down roots, make plans, and settle down into stability.
Let go – Five of Coins
You have been dwelling on a loss or regret and it’s gotten out of proportion mentally. What happened was a while back and there’s nothing to be done about it now. You are torturing yourself, and to no avail. Accept that we all make mishaps and missteps, and look ahead. Rebuild, recover, renew. The best is all still yet to come!
Plant a fresh intention – Four of Wands
You’re ready to rise! You have outgrown your current ‘level’ and beaten all competition, and now it’s time to step up to the next challenge, and receive a bigger reward too! Seek promotion, advancement, progress, or a change of scene. You are ready to rise.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Rebalance – Ten of Coins
Sometimes, Father Time is the best ally. Time moves everything along, softens blows, introduces new perspectives, heals wounds, and provokes growth. So, think back to something bad and see now how it turned out for good. And realise whatever bothers you now might also turn out the same.
Let go – King of Cups
You can’t solve their issues or help them live their lives. You have strength and courage to spare and folk often try to draw on it – but to no avail, and it frustrates you. Let them be. Know that we all do our best and each have different limitations… they have just met theirs.
Plant a fresh intention – Knight of Swords
You are in the mood to make a challenge, broaden your territory, expand, push back and out! A fight is on the cards but a righteous one, and one you can win, and will relish doing so. Prepare for battle!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Rebalance – The Chariot
Always feeling like you don’t belong or could be doing something else. Wanderlust is a blessing and a curse in your life story. Right now, you’d do well to settle to the tasks at hand vs gazing out of the window dreaming of something else. Focus and finish what you began.
Let go – Three of Cups
You could have fun in a padded cell! You’re ruled by Jupiter and always lucky, happy, and carefree. Yet, the time for fun comes later, after the work is done. Don’t get distracted now or rush ahead to the prizes you’ve yet to earn. Focus and get to work, let go of wishing the task was done, and simply get it done.
Plant a fresh intention – Eight of Coins
Having experienced such fatigue and distraction with your latest project, relationship or ambition, rethink what comes next. What do you truly have appetite for? Hard work is inescapable, so you have to love what you do. Step back and consider what that really is.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Rebalance – The Lovers
You have had your head turned by something (or someone) and it’s distracting you from the current priority. You can’t just pretend this isn’t happening, but nor should you let go of all you currently have and chase something new. Stop, pause, think, consider, weigh up the options. Balance the scales and decide what matters most.
Let go – Page of Swords
Release your indecisiveness. You have blown hot and cold about something for a long time and you’re in danger of missing out altogether as the moment will eventually pass. Let go of procrastination being an option – it isn’t. Time to decide.
Plant a fresh intention – Six of Cups
You intend to reunite or reignite an old flame – be that personal, family, childhood-related, romantic, or work-based. Something you once loved deeply can be resurrected and you can see how it now work out better than before. You’re preparing to breathe life back into a sleeping lion.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Rebalance – Nine of Cups
You have leant away from a heartfelt dream and pursued what you felt was right ‘on paper’ or what others approved of. It just doesn’t sit right with you and it’s time now to redress that decision and change course. Follow your passion and interest.
Let go – King of Wands
Let go of feeling like you have to have a major purpose or life plan. It can be paralysing sometimes, trying to dream up a master plan that just doesn’t resonate or feel right. Simply live life, following interests and curiousities, dealing with what is right in front of you, and spending time with people you love and like. Keep it simple.
Plant a fresh intention – Two of Swords
You are preparing to make a big decision – maybe that is what all this overthinking and trying to plan has been about. Start to research the options ahead of you and pro-actively discuss them with folk you trust. Set a deadline (eight weeks?) to have scoped, pressure tested and come to a final conclusion. You will do the right thing, you always do.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Rebalance – Five of Swords
You’ve been embroiled in a tense situation and things are reaching a head. The outcome of this will be a new dynamic and rebalanced energy which you need to play a role in keeping up too. Prepare to consider compromises and new ways of interacting. A fresh approach is needed.
Let go – The Hanged Man
Let go of remaining in a limbo simply because you feel it’s a ‘better the Devil you know’ scenario. You deserve better than what has been served, and there is better out there. Step back and don’t accept any more of this rubbish. Move on.
Plant a fresh intention – Two of Coins
Get ready to welcome a massive surge of new news into your realm! Start saying yes to everything coming your way. Open up to new ideas, people, places, and activities. See the remainder of 2025 as a doorway to welcome in as much fresh energy as possible.
