You may think this week is tame (and it seems that way at first glance), but it does have surprises in store for us.
You’ll find most of its eventfulness at the very tail end of the week. On the 4th, Venus enters grounding, thoughtful Virgo and a New Moon in Leo will be bringing us a bounty of creative, playful, and perhaps quite dramatic energy to work with.
The transition from July to August may seem seamless at first, but there are plenty of fun shifts this week.
To check in on what this all means for you, we’ve consulted theTarot to see what else is in store.
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for July 29 – August 4, 2024
Aries
Ace of Swords (Reversed)
Aries, you may feel like it’s “go time,” but the cards say you need a pitstop instead.
The Ace of Swords reversed asks you to slow down, both in your mind (which is prone to racing off to distant places this week) and in your actions (especially with your words and conversations).
So much impulse, many ideas, and fresh instincts to start something new can be a positive thing, but they cannot be channeled properly just yet.
Put a pause on what you want to do for now and circle back at a better time.
Taurus
3 of Swords
Taurus is wrestling with hurt and frustration, and it may not even feel so illuminating.
Usually, heartbreak and anguish can teach us valuable lessons and propel us into deeper self-understanding and self-reflection.
However, the 3 of Swords often just feels like a stab to the chest without any rhyme or reason (for now). You’re handling big emotions; this week isn’t about rationalizing them.
Give yourself the necessary space to heal and replenish before you seek conclusions.
Gemini
Page of Wands (Reversed)
Gemini, your passion can take you far.
But with the Page of Wands reversed, you also have to be mindful of your own limitations.
Impulse and big ideas can occasionally be blinding to the truth. Practicalities and realistic plans also need to be on your mind, not just running with spontaneous impulses.
We admire your ambitious, entrepreneurial spirit, but be mindful of how it is used this week.
Cancer
6 of Wands
Cancer, success is just around the corner.
However, the 6 of Wands is a very specific form of it. This is not a week of tangible rewards necessarily, but instead a week of celebration.
You’re more likely to receive social recognition for your efforts rather than physical rewards right now, but that boost of confidence can be just as important as a literal promotion or winning a lottery ticket.
Sometimes, the assurance that you’re on the right path is the most valuable reward of all. Look out for it this week!
Leo
The High Priestess
Well, Leo received this card last week… so what does it mean to receive The High Priestess twice in a row?
This card of intuition and spiritual prowess still indicates that you have wisdom and understanding about your path at hand that can be used to your advantage.
You may be more privy to what lies underneath the surface of every situation than you are giving yourself credit for.
Now is the time to really trust what that inner voice of yours is telling you.
Virgo
Queen of Wands (Reversed)
Virgo, confidence is key… although it may be hard to find right now.
With the Queen of Wands reversed you feel more prone to second-guessing yourself and your instincts even though you sense that others are relying on you right now for insight and guidance.
It may suddenly feel like everything is too much, and you don’t have the energy to manage it all.
Don’t be afraid to lean on others for assurance, support, and assistance, Virgo. There is no shame in asking for help!
Libra
Ace of Pentacles
Libra should keep their eyes peeled for new opportunities on the horizon.
The Ace of Pentacles hints that doors are opening for Libra. This is a great week for planting new seeds of success, especially in the realm of career, finances, and home.
Note that “new opportunity” doesn’t necessarily mean “immediate reward.”
There is nothing particularly glamorous or even exciting about this card on the surface, but you have to be willing to find the potential in everything this week.
Scorpio
3 of Wands
Scorpio is continuing to step up to the plate with expansive, exciting energy.
This week, you continue the trend of Wands cards in your Tarotscope with the 3 of Wands coming up on the table for you.
This is a card of ideas beginning to pan out in your favor, opportunities beginning to expand, and life opening up in truly exciting, important ways.
This is a great week for small travel plans, continuing personal projects, socializing, and speaking your mind.
Sagittarius
King of Wands
Sagittarius, you’re in your element this week with the King of Wands.
This card emphasizes your powerful, charismatic voice, your ability to lead with lightheartedness and humor, and the confidence that radiates from your aura when you’re confident in yourself.
You’re called to channel these wonderful, uniquely you qualities this week.
Others may gravitate toward you more quickly as a result, but also it should just feel good to be more like yourself, of course. (And isn’t that what it’s all about at the end of the day anyway?).
Capricorn
The Sun
Capricorn, it’s time to embrace who you really are and what you really want.
The Sun pulls no punches when asking you to focus on your biggest dreams and desires. This card is all about joy, but particularly the kind of joy that stems from authentic self-expression and self-realization.
You are a force to be reckoned with — creative, bright, and full of potential.
This week, you must know and trust this to be true in order to unlock the light and positivity that this journey of yours can truly hold.
Aquarius
4 of Swords (Reversed)
Aquarius is resisting rest and pause, but it’s chasing after you nonetheless.
It’s not fun to admit that we need time to slow down.
The 4 of Swords reversed hints that you’ve probably needed to take some time for yourself for a while but have been “powering through” your life and its responsibilities anyway.
This week, it will catch up to you if you don’t make time for some serious R&R.
Pisces
The Fool (Reversed)
Pisces, new beginnings are here… sort of.
The Fool reversed indicates that you’re just on the brink of something new, and you can likely sense that changes are afoot.
However, you may also be tempted to rush into things unnecessarily.
Remember that the best new opportunities and fresh starts will find you organically, Pisces. They’re almost here, but there’s no need to seek them out on your own just yet.
