Aries: The Devil

The sun in lavish Leo is lighting up your house of fun, leisure, and sex this month—and the Devil card, replete with all of its deliciously hedonistic temptations, is inviting you to give into your pleasure-centric impulses. A little summer debauchery is fine, but beware of overdoing it and winding up at the mercy of your vices. You don’t want the occasional indulgence to turn into a bad habit, but when the Devil’s involved, it can be a slippery slope. All of our actions have consequences, so be willing to own up to yours and find a balance between having some fun and going overboard. Read your full August monthly horoscope.
Taurus: 8 of Swords

Leo season finds the sun in a frustrating square-off with your sign, so you may be feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. And with the Eight of Swords here, it’s easy to fall into a victim mentality and convince yourself that there’s no point in trying to break free of whatever’s weighing you down. But the truth is that regardless of any tough circumstances you’re facing, you still have agency over your situation—and you might have more than you think. So whether you’re feeling trapped by a relationship, job stress, or something else, it’s time to open your eyes and start taking steps toward change. You can’t control everything that happens, but you still have some power in your hands. Read your full August monthly horoscope.
Gemini: The Hanged Man

Energetic Mars is in your sign all month, motivating you to jump into action and be more impulsive. But Mars is also squaring off with restrictive Saturn mid-month, and your ruling planet Mercury is stationing retrograde—so the Hanged Man is here to remind you that pressing pause on your projects and surrendering to the vibes of the moment is a necessary part of the journey. Instead of charging ahead, the Hanged Man wants you to take a chill pill this month and observe what’s happening around you. How does it look like it’s going from the outside? If you let go and stop fighting gravity, you can simply enjoy the stretch and the change of perspective.
Cancer: 5 of Pentacles

This is certainly a challenging month in the cosmos, and hard times are an inevitable part of life. But what’s important in times like these is knowing who you can turn to for support when you’re struggling. If you need a hand with something this month—whether that’s a non-judgmental ear to vent to or a tangible favor—don’t be too proud to ask for the help you need. When facing difficult circumstances, it can be easy to isolate and feel like you should be able to handle everything on your own. But there are all sorts of helpful resources at your disposal that can help pull you through the storm clouds to sunnier days, so long as you’re willing to ask for help or accept the offers.

Leo: King of Pentacles

It’s your birthday season and it shows, Leo! Whatever your intentions are this month are no joke, because the King of Pentacles does not play around when it comes to success—and you’ll have plenty of abundance and confidence to pull from to support you in slaying your goals. Put together your plans with pragmatism and level-headedness, as this approach will give projects long-lasting potential and allow you to build something truly lucrative. The new moon in your sign on August 4 can be a fabulous time to start planting seeds for whatever it is you’re manifesting, so allow your inner leader to step up and start making magic.
Virgo: 6 of Cups

Your cosmic ruler Mercury is retrograding through your sign this month, so you might find yourself strolling down memory lane and revisiting some situations from the past. And the warm and nostalgic energy of the Six of Cups is encouraging you to lean into every moment of it. This card is all about the rose-colored magic of times gone by, as well as the sentimental sweetness of childhood—so it’s a fabulous time to explore your happy memories and perhaps even focus on some inner child healing. Think back to the most carefree and joyful summers of your youth and tap into that energy as you approach life this month. Your birthday season starts on August 22, so it’s a great time to reflect on your experiences and make some new happy memories, too. Read your full August monthly horoscope.

Conflict is inevitable sometimes, and the Five of Wands indicates that there are some discordant vibes in your midst. It may be hard to resist the urge to get caught up in the drama, but with Mercury retrograding through your career sector through the second half of the month, it may be a good idea to try to fly under the radar and not get lost in the chaos. Additionally, it’s important to stay true to yourself and not allow any inner turmoil to throw you off your game, either. Sometimes getting too many people’s opinions on something personal to you can make you second-guess your decisions or become conflicted about your feelings. Read your full August monthly horoscope.
Sagittarius: Ace of Wands

What’s really lighting up your heart right now? Keep your spirit open to creative ideas, perspective shifts, and desires that emerge now. Read your full August monthly horoscope.

You’re on top of your game, Capricorn, and sometimes that means you’ve got to deal with some hater energy. The Seven of Wands indicates that you’re coming up against some competition or opposition, and it may require you to stand up for yourself, be firm about your stance on things, or otherwise defend your turf. You’ve worked hard to get where you’re at, so don’t let yourself be shaken if you sense that there are people trying to take you down a notch—they don’t have the power to shake your confidence or take your place. You won’t always have to fight for what you have, but this month, put on your game face and don’t back down. Read your full August monthly horoscope.
