Your week can never be boring or too predictable with a new moon in it.
This week’s New Moon in Leo occurs on the 16th and especially helps creatives envision new artistic heights. In general, we may feel more expressive and ambitious.
As we are still undergoing a Venus retrograde, this powerful lunar event can be a light that uplifts us and encourages us to consider new opportunities and a fresh start (even if it is uncomfortable or requires major changes).
For some of us, this week could be the boost we needed. Using the power of the Tarot, let’s see what it’s likely to get you.
Your sign’s weekly tarotscope for August 14 – 20, 2023
Ram
Queen of Swords (Reverse)
Ram works through the fog that has settled in their minds.
With the Queen of Swords flipped, it’s possible that you’re exaggerating your expertise this week. It can be easy to stumble over your own thoughts and words.
“Did I do that right?” or “Can I actually do this?” are questions that you may often be faced with. With your own abilities under a microscope, that typical Aries confidence is currently waning.
Know that now is the best time for honestly reflection, which also means not relying too much on unhealthy, excessive self-criticism.
Taurus
The world (reversed)
Taurus may feel that something is off this week.
You’re not as close to the end of the road as you thought. Now that The World has turned upside down, everything that seems to fulfill… suddenly seems so far.
Are you sure you’re a long way from what you’re looking for, or do you need to rethink what “success” really means? Or maybe it’s time to remember that you Are worthy of what you seek.
Anyway, something has to be done. It’s time to recalibrate and rethink, Taurus.
Twin
6 of Swords
Twin moving on to bigger and better things.
But… the “bigger and better” has yet to be foreseen. Actually, the 6 of Swords just confirms that it’s time for change and movement, which means you need to leave the old behind and maybe accept some gaps and limbo periods instead.
In other words, you may not yet know what “bigger and better” plans lie ahead, but that’s about it feeling of progress there should be anyway.
Cancer
6 of Pentacles (reversed)
Cancer need to reevaluate what they are now willing to give away.
While you are known for your generous, compassionate, and empathetic nature, the inverted Pentacles 6 suggests that right now you tend to bite off more than you can chew in that area.
Donating your time, effort and resources to others is a noble act. But you also have to make sure you have enough left over for yourself.
Otherwise, the cycle of giving is no longer really a cycle, but just one straight line.
Lion
3 of cups
Lionthis week yes the week to call your friends and loved ones.
With the 3 of Cups by your side, we’re sure that heart-to-heart quality, compassionate exchanges, and good times are on the table for you everywhere.
For some Leos, the flair of the week can be more emotional and heartfelt. For others, the emphasis on heart-centered energy will be light and airy, elevating everyone’s mood.
Whatever happens, it’s a good time to see which of your loved ones could use a friend.
Virgin
The High Priestess (inverted)
Contrary to popular belief, Virgo isn’t all cold logic and riddles.
Virgos can even be quite intuitive. But this week, the inverted High Priestess points out that you may be suppressing something that you intuitively know to be true.
Are you sure you are misinterpreting the signals or thinking too much? Or are you just not listening to the authentic voice within yourself asking you to take a leap of faith?
It’s time to hear the realm of the unconscious, intuitive and spiritual.
Scale
3 of Pentacles
Scale will benefit most from joint efforts this week.
Work environments, educational environments, and gaining new hobbies and skills generally all thrive under the productive atmosphere of the 3 of Pentacles.
Whether you play the role of student or teacher (or maybe even mix both sometimes!), this week is all about learning, communicating and being a team player.
Now is a good time to listen to other people’s ideas and even be receptive to a little constructive criticism.
Scorpion
Ace of Swords
Scorpionyour mind is currently firing on all cylinders.
The Ace of Swords brings forth clarity, positive expression and powerful revelations, all as powerful possibilities. Your mind is ready to solve problems, ask important questions and come up with new ideas.
This is also a great card for communication: have those important conversations, say what’s on your mind, or just jot down some notes of what’s on your mind.
While this is a wonderful energy to have at your disposal, it is ultimately up to you to grab it.
Archer
Queen of wands
Archer finally feels like himself again, ready to take on the world.
The Queen of Wands embodies much of your go-getter, independent spirit. This card highlights your entrepreneurial spirit and encourages you to get after something this week if you really want to.
Inspiration and the urge for adventure are running high with you right now, so it’s also a good time to start something new and a little spontaneous if that tickles your fancy too.
The world is ripe for the taking – which parts will you enter first?
Ibex
7 of cups (inverted)
We have a very simple message for it Ibex this week.
That does not matter What you choose, as long as you Doing to elect. With the 7 of Cups reversed, you don’t want to get caught up in doubts, lengthy decision making, or overthinking your options.
It is very likely that this week will bring its fair share of daydreaming sessions, imaginative thought experiments and strange dreams, but you must cutting through the clouds to stay rooted in reality.
To others you are known for your grounded presence, but this week you must be that grounded presence for yourself.
Aquarius
Knight of Cups (Reverse)
Caught in your feelings Aquarius?
The inverted Knight of Cups indicates that you may have a lot in your heart that would like to be expressed and realized, but there aren’t many opportunities for that yet in the real world.
Whether it’s a taste for romance or a desire for creative self-expression, you look for opportunities that house the deep feelings you know you can share with the world.
But right now the cards call for patience; abrupt actions or random changes can’t fix this awkward silence. Time will pass and eventually the right people and opportunities will cross your path.
Fishing
Dead (reverse)
Fishing is to deal with the beast that is change.
And it’s not always pretty either. The Death card, especially inverted, can be very uncomfortable. Every past source of comfort, every old way of identifying, and every lens through which you once saw yourself can fall away in an instant, without rhyme or reason.
If you’re shedding old skin, it’s normal to experience growing pains and you may feel resistant to becoming a “new you.”
Ultimately, though, you’ll have to shake hands with the version of yourself waiting on the other side.
