August 2024 Tarotscopes

The theme: Be a decisive queen

How are you settling into Leo season?

August has some super dynamic transits — I’m looking at that Aquarius Full Moon on Aug 19th 👀 in particular. Plus a Mercury retrograde dominating the month from Aug 5th-28th.

If you’re in the Northern hemisphere, sink into that peak summer feeling — go slower, finding the juiciness and enjoyment at every available opportunity.

If you’re in the Southern hemisphere, the depths of winter are calling you inward to find your own inner warmth and vibrancy at your core.

The major theme that’s coming through the cards this month is decisiveness.

But we’re not talking forced, crowd sourced, or out-of-obligation decisions, obvs. We’re approaching decisions from within, with self trust, with having your own back. Decisions that, once made, you can soften into with your whole being because they feel right in your bones.

What’s a Tarotscope?

It’s like a horoscope, but instead of interpreting planetary movements (although I sometimes mention those :), I pull a card for each zodiac sign and share the themes and energy coming up at this time.

Read the cards for your Sun, Rising, and Moon signs for a richer three-card spread.

If you don’t know your Sun (that’s the sign you’d typically read your horoscope for), Moon, and Rising/Ascendant signs, get your birth time and city, if possible, and plug it in over here.

Here are your cards for August 2024:

Leo - The Chariot

Happy solar return Leo!

You’re h-o-t- t-o- g-o! If there’s something you want to start, now’s the time. This is like a graduation — done with one thing and ready to set your sights on a new stage of life. Let your emotional waves propel you, emotion is energy in motion after all, where are you moved to go? 

Look to the Leo New Moon on August 4th to plant seeds for this next phase.

If indecisiveness is an issue, it’s time to explore what’s weighing you down. It could be old frameworks, wounds from the past, even physical stuff that’s slowing your roll. Consider where you want to go and what can be let go for a smoother ride. Remember: What once helped you survive won't help you thrive.

Reflection: What’s the coolest thing I could do in the next six months?

Practice: Road opening spells can help you get unstuck. Set an intention for where you want to go and open up to support, guidance, and protection from spirit. There are many ways to do one (like a simple candle spell!) — find the right way for you.
