The Tower (The Present Global State)
September begins with upheaval and sudden changes. The Tower suggests that we may see unexpected events or crises that shake the foundations of what we consider stable. This could manifest as natural disasters, political shifts, or societal unrest. The energy is one of disruption, but also of necessary transformation—something that needs to be broken down for renewal.
Ten of Swords (The Global Challenge)
The challenge card shows the Ten of Swords, representing a sense of ending, pain, or betrayal. This indicates that the world may face a moment of significant hardship or loss, perhaps a culmination of tensions or conflicts that reach a breaking point. It’s a reminder that sometimes things need to hit rock bottom before they can begin to heal. There may be a sense of exhaustion, where old methods or systems finally collapse under pressure.
The Moon (Natural Disasters & Environmental Factors)
The Moon points to a period of uncertainty, illusions, and hidden dangers related to nature and the environment. This card suggests that the month could bring unpredictable weather patterns, floods, or other natural disasters that are difficult to foresee or understand fully. The Moon also warns of unseen environmental threats—things lurking beneath the surface, not immediately apparent but potentially dangerous.
Five of Wands (Political Climate)
Politically, the Five of Wands indicates conflict and competition. This card suggests heightened tensions between nations or within countries, with factions battling for control or dominance. Expect political rivalries, debates, and possibly more aggressive stances on international matters. There could be protests or political movements clashing over ideologies. But I guess, we’re used to that, already.
Four of Pentacles (Economic Outlook)
The Four of Pentacles reflects a conservative or restrictive economic atmosphere. People and governments may be holding tightly to resources, money, or power. This suggests economic slowdowns, fears around scarcity, or a refusal to take risks. On a global scale, it could indicate a lack of economic growth or difficulty in sharing resources fairly.
The Magician (Technological Advancements)
The Magician brings a sense of innovation and mastery over technology. September may see significant breakthroughs in technology or science, with humanity using its tools to manipulate and transform reality in powerful ways. This could involve new inventions, advancements in AI, or breakthroughs in medicine. It’s a time when creative thinking and skillful use of technology are highlighted.
Seven of Cups (Social Unrest & Human Rights)
The Seven of Cups suggests confusion or illusion in matters of social justice and human rights. People may be overwhelmed by too many choices or conflicting narratives, making it hard to discern what is real or meaningful. Expect distractions, misinformation, or a multitude of movements and causes, some genuine and others misleading.
The Devil (Health and Wellness)
The Devil card warns of temptation, addiction, or control in the realm of health and wellness. There may be concerns about public health crises, such as pandemics or diseases linked to excess or neglect. This card also points to unhealthy dependencies—on substances, technologies, or practices—that need to be addressed. It’s a call to break free from harmful habits or systems that constrain well-being. It may also indicate a deceitful action concerning health matters.
Two of Swords (International Relations)
The Two of Swords represents a stalemate or a difficult choice in international relations. Diplomatic negotiations might be stuck, with nations at a crossroads, unable to agree on a path forward. There could be tension between peace and conflict, where compromises are hard to find. The energy is one of careful deliberation, with critical decisions hanging in the balance.
Judgement (Spiritual Awakening or Change)
Judgement signifies a global awakening or a call to action. On a deeper level, it suggests that humanity is being called to reflect on its choices, to rise to a higher purpose, or to correct its course. This card heralds a time of reckoning, where actions and decisions of the past come to bear, prompting a collective need for redemption, change, or spiritual renewal.
The High Priestess (Hidden Forces or Secrets)
The High Priestess reveals hidden knowledge or secrets influencing the world. This suggests there may be unseen forces at play—perhaps secret negotiations, hidden agendas, or confidential information that could change everything once revealed. The month could see revelations or disclosures that shift public perception or uncover deeper truths.
The Sun (Potential Outcome for September)
Despite the turbulence, the Sun brings a positive potential outcome. This card symbolizes hope, clarity, and joy. It suggests that while September may be fraught with challenges, there is light at the end of the tunnel. A sense of collective enlightenment, success, or breakthrough is possible. The Sun encourages us to stay optimistic, knowing that after the storm, there is a chance for growth, renewal, and brighter days ahead.
September 2024 looks to be a month of significant global events, marked by upheaval, conflict, and uncertainty, but also by innovation, awakening, and potential for positive change. We may see natural disasters, political tensions, economic caution, and social confusion, but there is also room for breakthroughs in technology, diplomacy, and collective spiritual growth. The Sun card at the end offers hope that whatever the world faces, it will come through stronger, with a clearer vision for the future.
Pay attention to The High Priestess placed in the Hidden Forces or Secrets position.
The High Priestess is a card of mystery, intuition, and hidden knowledge. She sits between two pillars, representing the balance between darkness and light, the known and the unknown. When this card appears in the position of hidden forces or secrets, it suggests that there are unseen energies, confidential information, or subtle influences at work behind the scenes. Let’s explore what this might mean on a global scale:
Unseen Powers and Hidden Agendas
The High Priestess hints at secrets that have yet to be revealed—perhaps involving powerful entities or individuals operating out of the public eye. This could suggest covert negotiations, secret alliances, or political maneuvers that are not yet visible to the general public. Governments, corporations, or other influential groups may be orchestrating significant moves behind closed doors, preparing to unveil something that could shift the balance of power globally.
A Period of Revelation
This card often symbolizes a time when hidden truths come to light. In September, we might expect some startling revelations—whistleblowers, leaks, or investigative reports that expose what has been concealed. There could be uncovering of secrets in areas such as finance, international relations, or even within scientific and technological fields. The High Priestess encourages us to look beyond surface appearances and question what is being withheld.
Manipulation of Information
The High Priestess can also point to manipulation—control over information, propaganda, or misinformation campaigns. In this context, it suggests that certain truths might be obscured or distorted by those in power. Media, social platforms, or political entities might play a role in shaping public perception, concealing certain facts while promoting others to sway opinions or maintain control.
A Call for Reflection and Silence
Lastly, The High Priestess is a reminder of the power of silence and reflection. This might mean that some decisions or strategies are being held back deliberately, waiting for the right moment to be revealed. The card suggests that this is a time for patience and careful consideration. The forces at play are deep, complex, and not yet ready to be fully understood or acted upon.
We should also be prepared for revelations that could change the current narrative.
Tarot prediction on different regions
Next, my global tarot prediction focusing on different regions: East, West, South, and Southeast, representing various continents or influential geopolitical areas. For this reading, I’ve used my personal “Four Corners of the World” Spread, with each card representing the energy, challenges, or events likely to influence these regions in September 2024.
- East (Asia, Australia): The Star
- West (Europe, North America): The Hanged Man
- South (Africa, South America): The Wheel of Fortune
- Southeast (Middle East, Southeast Asia): The Emperor
1. East (Asia, Australia): The Star
The Star card shines brightly in the East, bringing a message of hope, inspiration, and healing. This suggests a period of renewal or recovery for Asia and Australia. There may be breakthroughs in science, medicine, or technology, leading to positive advancements. Expect a focus on humanitarian efforts, environmental healing, and spiritual growth.
- Asia: Countries like China, India, and Japan may experience a shift toward more progressive, forward-thinking policies, or engage in international efforts for peace and cooperation. This could also mean steps toward sustainable energy or environmental restoration.
- Australia: May see a period of calm and inspiration, potentially leading in conservation or environmental protection efforts. There could be a focus on community well-being, mental health, or innovative social policies.
Overall, The Star suggests that this region will shine as a beacon of hope, perhaps setting an example in global cooperation or innovation.
2. West (Europe, North America): The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man appears in the West, indicating a period of suspension, delay, or reevaluation. For Europe and North America, this could be a time of reconsidering policies, strategies, or social values. The energy here is one of pause and reflection, suggesting that these regions may need to take a step back to gain new perspectives.
- Europe: Could face political or economic stasis, where decisions are delayed or current systems are put on hold for a period of deep reflection. There might be a need to rethink approaches to immigration, economic strategies, or international relations. This card also suggests a possible shift in public consciousness toward alternative views or movements.
- North America: The United States and Canada might experience political or social deadlocks, where progress feels slow or stuck. It could be a time of introspection for these countries, where they are challenged to look at their foundations and consider new paths forward. This card suggests the need to let go of old ways of thinking to make room for new insights.
The Hanged Man calls for patience and a willingness to see things from a different angle, indicating that this period is not for direct action but for inner work and reevaluation.
3. South (Africa, South America): The Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune lands in the South, bringing a sense of change, fate, and opportunity. For Africa and South America, this card suggests that September could be a month of significant shifts—both positive and challenging. The wheel is turning, and with it comes the chance for new beginnings or unexpected turns of events.
- Africa: May see changes in political leadership, economic fortunes, or environmental conditions. This could bring both opportunities for growth and unexpected challenges. The energy is dynamic, and there’s potential for breakthroughs in sectors like technology, trade, or governance. However, it also suggests that stability may be in flux, and adaptability will be key.
- South America: The continent could experience fluctuations in economic stability, social movements, or natural events. The card implies that things may move quickly—what was down may rise, and what was stable may shift. This period could bring both fortune and tests of resilience, urging nations to adapt swiftly to the changing tides.
The Wheel of Fortune reminds these regions that while they can’t control all the changes, they can harness the opportunities presented by them to shape a better future.
4. Southeast (Middle East, Southeast Asia): The Emperor
The Emperor takes a commanding position in the Southeast, representing authority, structure, and governance. This card indicates that the Middle East and Southeast Asia may see a focus on leadership, control, and the enforcement of order. There may be an emphasis on building or strengthening power structures, either through political maneuvers, military actions, or legislative changes.
- Middle East: Could experience a period where strong leadership or authority becomes prominent. This could manifest in assertive governmental policies, increased control over resources, or efforts to consolidate power domestically or regionally. The Emperor’s presence suggests a desire for stability and order, but it may also bring challenges related to authoritarianism or resistance to change.
- Southeast Asia: Nations in this region might see a push for more structured governance or leadership changes. There could be a tightening of regulations or an emphasis on national security and order. The card also hints at the potential for growth through disciplined strategies, indicating that the region may seek to establish itself more firmly on the global stage.
The Emperor calls for clear, strong leadership and emphasizes the importance of rules, structure, and discipline, but it also reminds us that power must be wielded wisely to avoid oppression.
