August Tarot Reading For The Zodiac Signs — Expect To Take Chances
Art by Stephany Torres
You don’t need to be a total tarot reading expert to get advice straight from the universe. Remezcla’s got you covered. And who am I? I’m Sofía, an intuitive tarot reader, writer, and fellow astrology enthusiast, with four years of experience. Every month, I will shuffle my deck and ask “what do these signs need to know about the upcoming month?” I pick three cards for each Zodiac element, break down what each of them mean, and explain how they connect to you .
Every Zodiac sign has a corresponding element that groups them together: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are air signs; Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are fire signs; Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are earth signs; and Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water signs.
So, read the message that corresponds to your sun sign — the one that falls on your birthday. Or if you’re a super astrology fan, read the messages that correspond to your Big Three (sun, moon, and rising signs). For example, I’m an Aquarius sun, Aries moon, and Taurus rising. To find out your own Big Three, input your birth information here to create your birth chart.
Keep on reading to see what the cards have to say about the month ahead. Good luck!
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius got The Hermit reversed, Ace of Cups, and Six of Cups. The Hermit reversed is isolation, loneliness, and withdrawal. Ace of Cups is love, new relationships, compassion, and creativity. And finally, Six of Cups is revisiting the past, childhood memories, innocence, and joy.
You have to leave your bubble, air signs. For August, the universe is asking you to go out there and take emotional risks — you’ll be surprised by how many will work in your favor. This month comes with brand new opportunities, especially when it comes to romance, family, and friendships. Love like you’re a kid again, without any of the heartbreak or distrust time (and other people) have instilled in you. It’s okay to have your alone time, especially at the beginning of the month, but don’t stay there. Go out, travel, meet people. You won’t regret it.
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius got The World reversed, The Chariot, and Temperance reversed. The World reversed is seeking personal closure, short-cuts, and delays. The Chariot represents control, willpower, success, action, and determination. And finally, Temperance reversed is imbalance, excess, self-healing, and re-alignment.
There’s so such big energy right here, fire signs. You’ve got all Major Arcana cards, and what that means is that there are big changes and big momentum coming your way this month. In August, you’ll be tested… but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, even if your mind goes straight to the worst-case scenario. There are some loose ends that will finally be tied. There will be an opportunity for closure, especially when it comes to regulating your nervous system. You’ll be reacting differently to an offer (or for some, a rejection) that mirrors something in your past. Things will come full circle. You’re moving ahead, regardless.
Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn got Queen of Cups, Page of Wands, and Seven of Pentacles. Queen of Cups represents compassionate, caring, emotionally stable, intuitive, and in flow. Page of Wands is inspiration, ideas, discovery, limitless potential, and free spirit. And finally, Seven of Pentacles is long-term view, sustainable results, perseverance, and investment.
You’ll be in a creative flow in August, dear earth signs. You’ll be focusing on building something sustainable, using both your practical and creative skills. You’re the one steering the ship, not so much with your mind, but your heart and intuition. While your practical nature is important to you, for this month, the universe is asking you to go with the flow of yourself: how you feel, both emotionally and physically. Start with you, the rest will follow. For you, that’s usually the other way around, isn’t it? The sky’s truly your limit, think outside of what you think is possible.
Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces got Six of Swords, Nine of Swords reversed, and Three of Cups. Six of Swords is transition, change, rite of passage, and releasing baggage. Nine of Swords reversed represents inner turmoil, deep-seated fears, secrets, and releasing worry. And finally, Three of Cups is celebration, friendship, creativity, and collaborations.
You’re going to have a more relaxing time this month, dear water signs. You’re moving into smoother, calmer waters — both with you and your relationship with others. Make sure to release all that fear and worry that’s no longer serving you. Ask yourself: is what I’m worrying over something I can do something about right now? Is it relevant to my current situation? Or is it something that I’ve held on to because it kept me safe in the past? Allow yourself to have fun with people. Catch up with friends. Let go.
