Your Weekly Tarot Reading for August 11–17, 2024: Take Center Stage!

Leo season encourages confidence and provides an invitation to take center stage in your life to make your wildest dreams come true. Use some time this week to tap into your heart center and consider how to create more time and space for your passions to bring vitality, sparkle, and joy into your current situation. Be you and love who you are. This is your time to shine!

This week’s intuitively pulled Tarot cards show supportive care and guidance through the reminders to shift our vision by embracing new perspectives, seeing the bigger picture rather than just the details, and allowing this to assist in writing new stories for ourselves. When you let go of the little stuff, or whatever is no longer needed, you create space for more of what you love with the good people in your life.

Read on for this week’s Tarotscopes with cosmic insight and advice to navigate your week ahead.

Aries: The Lovers Reversed

Show yourself compassion, Aries. It can be rather challenging to navigate an intense battle between your head and your heart, but being hard on yourself while trying to make a good decision will not be helpful. You will figure out what to do and what feels right; just give yourself the proper time and space.

Taurus: Queen of Pentacles Reversed

Let envy be your teacher, Taurus. Everyone gets jealous sometimes, so there’s no need to let this emotion encourage a spiral meltdown! Instead, let this moment reveal to you what is actually at the root of your longing so you can figure out how to bring in more of what you feel is lacking.

Gemini: King of Swords

Stick to the facts, Gemini. When a situation gets too hot this week, and it’s challenging to find a resolution, it means this is a wonderful opportunity to step away in order to gain more clarity. Don’t let your emotions cloud your vision. Objectively observe all sides, but don’t overthink it as you draw your own conclusions.

Cancer: Knight of Cups

Follow your intuition, Cancer. An opportunity presents itself this week that has the potential to bring you closer to making a dream come true. Your head may be in the clouds, but try not to let the fantasies of what could be eclipse the drive and focus that will be needed to get you to your desired destination.

Leo: The Magician

Make use of your resources, Leo. You can do so much more than you have been giving yourself credit for lately, and now is a wonderful time to invoke that killer confidence and make some major moves! Notice the materials you already have available to you, get out of your comfort zone and see what magic you can create when you believe in your own abilities.

Virgo: The Devil Reversed

If you don’t need it, let it go, Virgo. It may be hard to resist temptation sometimes, but recent circumstances have shown you that temporary pleasure is often not worth the disastrous aftermath. If something causes more drama or heartache when it’s meant to be frivolous and fun, release it to find something new.

Libra: The Chariot Reversed

Embrace the bigger picture, Libra. If you have been feeling stuck with a lack of momentum and inspiration, this week provides an illuminating opportunity to zoom out on the vision of your dreams and stop focusing on the nitty gritty of the minutiae in the details. Don’t let your temporary whims distract you from staying focused on your goals.

Scorpio: Eight of Swords Reversed

Challenge what you know to be true, Scorpio. Sometimes, we can get caught up in the same stories we continually tell ourselves, especially when it comes to how we define our capabilities or what we should be doing. Dare to have a breakthrough by letting yourself burst free from these restrictive constraints and allow yourself to do the unexpected. 

Sagittarius: Nine of Swords

Stop dwelling on the past, Sagittarius. It’s time to let this go! You know that holding onto old feelings and resentments is only going to do damage to you—not the other party. Do yourself a favor this week by examining your feelings and attempting to see the bright side of the lessons learned to release this heavy weight.

Capricorn: Four of Wands Reversed

Make some adjustments, Capricorn. This week provides a lovely opportunity to take a look at your plans more closely in order to notice what’s working as well as what isn’t. Is this the right path to continue? Or could you use a little detour? A moment of rest and consideration will provide all of the answers you need.

Aquarius: Ten of Pentacles Reversed

Stick to the basics, Aquarius. If everything feels off at the moment and you find yourself struggling to get comfortable, take time this week to focus on meeting your needs in smaller ways before you begin to spiral. Eating nutritious meals, getting outside, and just prioritizing the most basic essentials is a wonderful place to start to feel more secure.

Pisces: Eight of Pentacles Reversed

Focus on quality, not quantity, Pisces. Working long hours might seem like a good idea when you have a lot to accomplish, but overdoing it without setting boundaries around your time will only lead to subpar results! Don’t push yourself or rush this week! Know when to stop so you can produce your best efforts.
