Take a deep breath… it’s safe to exhale now.
Mercury retrograde will come to an end this week on the 28th as this planet of communication and thought finally goes direct. Additionally, as Venus heads into its home turf of Libra on the 29th, we’re finally catching a break with more astrologically smooth-sailing energy.
This can be a powerful time to reflect on current progress (especially any made during the recent retrograde), find peace and prosperity, and cultivate love and kindness in your life.
Excited to see how this vibe will resonate with you? Us too! We checked in with the Tarot to see.
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for August 26 – September 1, 2024
Aries
The Chariot (Reversed)
Aries, success is only what you believe you can do.
Although The Chariot reversed may present roadblocks and obstacles, the central reality it illuminates is a greater obstacle that lies within you.
You have to trust that you are capable of great things, Aries. Your dreams are not as distant as they seem.
The sky is the limit… but for now, you are the limit that needs attention first.
Taurus
Ace of Pentacles
Taurus has many ripe opportunities at their disposal, ready for the taking.
However, with the Ace of Pentacles signifying this, it’s important not to look for too much all at once.
In other words, this is a very specific kind of opportunity. It will not be glamorous or perhaps even too immediately exciting. We’re looking specifically for practical ideas and seeds of success here.
Look toward what can help you build a greater future… but don’t expect the future to already be built for you.
Gemini
7 of Cups
Gemini, indecision will come to bite you later if you don’t shoo it away now.
The 7 of Cups can be intoxicating and enticing, drawing your week into a whirlwind of emotion and dreamy haziness.
You may find yourself daydreaming more easily, drawn into escapist fantasies and possibilities. However, these “options” you are prone to exploring right now may only be distractions from what really matters.
Be honest about what truly needs your attention right now, Gemini.
Cancer
9 of Swords
Although Cancer has been putting in the work to make progress in the past few weeks, things finally seem to be coming to a head.
No longer can you avoid the impending anxieties, insecurities, and concerns that you may have been attempting to previously brush aside.
The 9 of Swords asks you to confront what you’re really scared of, to face your fears… to walk into the light once and for all.
Face your demons, or they will find a way to face you, Cancer.
Leo
9 of Wands
Leo is pulling back and observing… which is harder than it seems.
The 9 of Wands depicts a state of patience, observation, and plenty of energy being expended in the process.
Make no mistake — you may feel like you’re not moving anywhere, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a workout and a half!
You will need ample amounts of rest to compensate for the effort you’re using up this week. Prepare appropriately!
Virgo
King of Cups (Reversed)
Virgo, the answers are within… but you don’t need to settle on them just yet.
The King of Cups is usually a beacon of spiritual and emotional insight, indicative of the maturity and internal stability you’ve worked very hard to cultivate over time.
Reversed, however, you may be struggling to hold this part of you together.
Take this week to recollect that emotional energy and pause before settling on any major decisions that require an intuitive instinct.
Libra
The Lovers (Reversed)
Libra, sometimes the love and connection we seek must come from within.
The reversal of The Lovers may indicate that there is trouble in paradise for many Libras, not finding partnerships and friendships to come with much ease right now.
At the same time, this card flipped upside-down can be a good opportunity to reconnect with self-love, self-reflect on what your needs are, and find the divinity that lies within.

Scorpio
3 of Swords (Reversed)
Scorpio, this week is all about healing.
The 3 of Swords reversed points to this week being a time of patching up old wounds, which also means you’ll need to be honest about your feelings and be vulnerable about what still hurts.
Be proactive about your healing and self-improvement this week.
If you find yourself struggling to proceed in your day-to-day life and routines, consider that there may be a “hidden injury” (in the heart) that is calling for your attention before you extend it out to the world around you.
Sagittarius
Knight of Cups
Sagittarius, romance, creativity, and love are all in the air!
The Knight of Cups brings a wonderfully sweet, affectionate, intuitive, and potentially romantic aura to the table for Sagittarians.
You may be embodying this soft-hearted spirit this week, or you may also notice that others are extending a more open-hearted attitude toward your direction.
Either way, it’s time to let love in.
Capricorn
The Fool (Reversed)
Capricorn, you may have a reputation for having all the answers, but we both know that it’s much more complicated than that beneath the surface!
The Fool reversed is a reminder of what you don’t know. This week is all about humility, taking things slow, and not rushing into anything new unnecessarily.
You may think you need to have everything figured out immediately, but rushing will only lead to resistance.
Take things slow and steady, and don’t rush yourself (or the Universe).
Aquarius
2 of Wands
Aquarius, the world is your oyster, and it’s ready for you to open it!
The 2 of Wands is a bright, exciting card of opportunity, travel, potential, and expansion.
Not everything will pan out immediately, but the seeds for these exciting opportunities are finally able to be successfully planted. Set your intentions loudly and proudly, Aquarius.
Where would you like to go? What would you like to do? It’s time to announce it to the world.
Pisces
8 of Swords (Reversed)
Pisces needs to let go of the restraints that have been holding them back.
This week is all about honestly identifying the ways in which you may have been unnecessarily hindering your own success.
The 8 of Swords reversed says that there is no longer any room for allowing insecurity or shame to rule your life decisions.
These limits have held you down long enough, Pisces.
What Does Your Tarotscope Really Mean?
Receiving your weekly Tarot card can be illuminating, but sometimes the heads-up into the near future can actually yield more questions than answers.
Why? Well, seeing the truth and knowing what to do with it are two different things.
That’s why we recommend taking some extra time to reflect on how your card can actually resonate with your life circumstances and personal energy. You can try:
- Diving deeper into your Tarot card
- Meditating on your result
- Journaling about its potential meanings
