Your weekly tarot horoscope reading for August 5 to August 11 (2024)

The New Moon in Leo has unleashed our creativity and desire to perform, be applauded, and get praise for what we’re good at.

A Mercury retrograde this week makes us focus on the basics, the analogue, the low-tech, the face to face dynamics vs the technological channels.

Get closer to people you want to impress. Be there in person. Show up. Your power is in your presence.

Let the tarot tell you where you need to be visible this week.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Temperance

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Temperance. A powerful card about balance and moderation. Perhaps a gym, a place of rest and wellbeing, a spa, a library, a chill out zone, a relaxing outdoor space you love to be in.

Perhaps you need to change your location and usual haunts this week to ones which totally counter the mood you’re in. If you’re hyper, go chill. If you’re chilled, get hyper. And environment can be the short cut to the feeling you’re chasing.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Two of Cups

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Two of Cups. Romance is on the cards. If there’s someone you like then make obvious signals (eye contact, interest, humour, compliments… let them get the hint).

If you’re keen to make eyes at your partner then spoil and surprise them this week. Carve out time for the two of you to do something wonderful together, something a bit magical. Make marvellous memories.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Justice

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Justice. You need to fix something, redress the balance, say your piece, make sure the truth is heard and resounded clearly to whomever needs to hear it. Don’t rely on others to make your case or represent you.

Justice shows you will be vindicated and justified… but it requires your presence, your ability to speak and persuade them of your position. This is easy peasy to you – words come naturally. Use this power.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: King of Cups

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by King of Cups. Someone needs support and care. You are the zodiac’s mother, its nurturer, its healer.

This is a person you love deeply, possibly an older male, and they just want you to spend time with them, talk to them, hear their woes, share some comfort and time. This is you at your best. Healing others heals you too. Every ounce of care given returns a little drop of love back to you. So give generously.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Knight of Wands

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Knight of Wands. Time for adventure and fun, Leo! Get together with friends or family (or a new suitor, maybe a sexy Fire sign – Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) and have yourselves a wild time!

Travel, explore, try new things. Be spontaneous. Plan to do something but don’t overthink the options. Pick a choice that jumps out at you and just go with it. Everything will fall into place and you will make magical memories together. A magical summer outing.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Empress

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by The Empress. This is someplace loving, nurturing, warm, and safe. Possibly family or with close friends, or your loved one.

Draw closer to wherever you get your comfort and security. Be around those who show you unconditional love and care. Be good to them, appreciate them, tell them how much you adore them and need them. Make this a week of love and healing, and fill up your heart with a warm glow.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: King of Swords

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by King of Swords. You are advised to seek professional or expert advice or help with something that is beyond your own powers (and you know it). Whether this is an actual appointment, a consultation, a Q&A, or an informal enquiry… you decide.

It relates to something you wish to do in the future that you know will be challenging or has aspects linked to it that you don’t yet fully understand. It’s time to ask those questions, and get some answers.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Ten of Coins

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Ten of Coins. This is a week to get your financial future health looking rosy and glowing! Attend a lecture, a workshop, an appointment, or a forum. See a professional. Visit a friend who knows their onions.

Think about debt, savings, investments, mortgage, pensions… and get the latest intel on what’s possible for you, what could work harder or smarter… and make some tweaks for the future. This will pay back handsomely.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: The Hanged Man

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by The Hanged Man. Go to different spots, venues, cafes, shops, roads, and parks this week. Change it up, switch it up, be different. Locations all have different energy and the quickest way to shake up your life is to go to new places.

The Hanged Man reveals you’ve gotten into a rut and can’t see the wood for the trees on a particular situation. Changing your usual haunts will help you gain a new perspective on it… and the answer/resolution will become clear!

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Five of Swords

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Five of Swords. This is a conflict zone, a place where there is tension and pressure, and your role is to cut to the heart of the matter, draw out the poison into the light, and come to a healed resolution for all concerned.

You’re shrewd, practical, dispassionate. You are good at resolving differences, when you don’t have skin in the game, because you can see things clearly and logically. Help them solve this issue and it won’t be forgotten.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Six of Coins

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Six of Coins. This is a place of generosity, friendship, shared values, and good deeds. Maybe it’s time to join up to a cause or charity or community project that you feel aligned with.

Put your cleverness to good use and contribute, Aquarius. You are a progressive, humanitarian person, and want to see the world be a better place. So, play your part, do your bit, join in and feel good about it.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Knight of Coins

Meaning: Your presence is required in a place represented by Knight of Coins. This is something you’re all into at the moment and it related to health, wealth, work, or home. Perhaps a new DIY store, the gym, a website about money hacks, a new career opening at work that you wish to pursue.

Be present there, wherever it is, this week, and work hard, put the effort in, and you will be hugely rewarded, beyond your expectations. A little bit of graft will go a very long way and get results.
