What does the week have in store? Your tarot horoscope reading for August 10 to August 16

Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) A busy week of cosmic transits as chatty Mercury moves into confident Leo, passionate Mars moves into security-focused Cancer and we get a Solar Eclipse in Leo with the New Moon. Boldness is a theme here; boldness to be ourselves, claim our rights, pursue our goals, and feel confident to strike out towards a dream or vision. If not now, then when? No one ever feels ‘ready’ for the bold leaps they make, they just do them anyway. Let the tarot reveal what you should just do anyway this week. Looking for more insight?

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Page of Cups Meaning: Your inner child has all the best ideas for your future right now, because you’ve reached a point of coming full circle in your evolution and personal growth.

You may have noticed a surge of childhood memories, an interest in visiting old haunts, reuniting with friends, looking at photos or playing old tunes. Revel in the past, unleash your inner child, because they know exactly what bold leap you need to take this week! It was there waiting for you all along.

You’re calculating and analytical, so the decisions you come to have been long, long thought-through and pressure-tested. You don’t do anything lightly. This week you’re going to put the wheels in motion on a long-term vision that you’ve rationalised, researched, dreamt of and ruminated over for a long time. And no one can stop you. No one can thwart this juggernaut of a plan! Get to it, the time is right. Aim far, far ahead and take the step that best reflects that future vision, and now you’re on your way.

Great results don’t happen overnight, they take time and determination. And you have realised this and are now ready to commit to something. Look ahead to a year’s time. Where do you want to be? What do you want to look, feel, and act like? What’s changed? Capture that vision. Hold it tight. Particularly around health, wealth, work and home, because these are all areas within your own gift and control. You can take taking steps this week that will accumulate into what might be the biggest glow-up of your life so far! Head here for everything you need to know about being a Gemini Cancer June 22 to July 23 Create your very own dream team (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Six of Coins Meaning: You are super protective of your inner desires and often keep them secret for fear of rejection or challenge. Sometimes you smother them. But this is changing this week, because you can see ways that your ideals align with someone else’s and how, if you joined forces, you could help each other. This is a team effort. So take that bold leap and talk about your dreams, your hopes, your fantasies for the future. Get support, help, ideas, and buy in… and align with someone on the same kind of path with whom you can make a strong union to combine your power and help each other get to your destinations. You know who it is. Just talk to them. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Cancer Leo July 24 to August 23 Death is the tarot’s transformation card (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Leo for this week: Death Meaning: Lots of Leo energy this week, as it’s your season, your New Moon, your eclipse, and Mercury is in your sign. All in all, you are the celestial nepo baby for the week, and no demand can be refused! Death wants you to end the thing you know needs to end (but have put off or dreaded) and start the thing you know you yearn to have in your life. Just do it. No more excuses or putting it off, now is the time because the Universe is backing your every move. What you put in motion now will carry you on its back until November, bringing great transitions and upgrades and improvements in all life areas. This is your window of opportunity. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Leo Virgo August 24 to September 23 Give yourself some credit (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Four of Cups Meaning: All of this confident Leo energy is making you re-look at things… and you find that your life, your opportunities, your potential is much better, stronger, and more positive than you’ve been feeling it is recently. Maybe you’ve let the inner negative critic talk too much? Tell that voice to quieten down, because you have everything you need, you’re already wealthy in all the things that count in life, and the best is all still yet to come. You can take any direction you like from here, you can change course, go faster, or simply stop and celebrate and relax for a while. Virgo, life is good. Feel that deep in your bones and let it stir you to make things even more spectacular.

That might sound like hard work, but it’s really not because it all happens stealthily, under wraps, then the fences are built and don’t get tested until someone steps out of line again (and maybe they never will). The upshot is that you feel in control, protected, ready — so do this now and save yourself a heap of trouble later on. For too long, you’ve been manipulated or browbeaten by someone overbearing in your life, and they’ve run out of road. You must guard your peace, defend your space, and put things in place that help you relax and feel taken care of. This step will change how you feel within.

Once bitten, twice shy, right? But maybe you shouldn’t judge what’s available now by the past. Don’t let mistrust spoil your chances now. Put your doubts to bed and take what’s on offer regardless, be led by your very best hopes and not worst fears. You have no cause to be suspicious or defensive, not in this situation, so go forwards with confidence. Perhaps this is a good karma plot twist acting like a reward or mitigation for what you once endured.

So, alongside all the Leo-y energy swirling this week, I guess the question could be ‘what would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?’ — and that, my Sagittarius friend, is exactly what you should then do! Act like you’re an unstoppable winner with everyone on your side. Act like you’ve made it, are in demand, and about to land your greatest ever success. Stir up the energy and aura of winning, succeeding, thriving and creating. When you’re in flow, you’re irresistible, and it’s time to land your biggest ambitions.

Which is to be? Don’t try and be everything to everyone, it won’t work, and you’ll lose out on all fronts. Be ruthless and focus, be discerning and pick a side. It’s the one with the greatest reward matched to its feasibility. It’s the one you can make tangible, practical, moves on in the coming fortnight, and drive results. You can see the lay of the land, you just need the necessary time and energy to get to it.

You want more of it, you want better control of it, you want the ability to grow what you have and make investments for the future that will remove insecurity or doubt. You are in a wealth mindset, so this is the week to manifest your financial goals. Wear green, make wishes and bury them and plant something over it, carry Tiger’s Eye or Sunstone crystals, create an affirmation about wealth and say it three times daily. And take practical, logical actions and steps too, showing the Universe your overt ideas and pitches and strategies. This feels like a lucky week. Head here for everything you need to know about being an Aquarius Pisces February 20 to March 20 One last push (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Eight of Coins Meaning: The bold leap you need this week is to dig deeper than you’ve ever dug and push past all of your doubt or fatigue. Keep going. Persist. Don’t give up. A huge cosmic reward awaits you and will make all of this slog worthwhile, meaningful, and valuable. You just can’t see the path ahead right now, so just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Summon your powers and do it. Karma is watching your progress, liking what she’s seeing, and the bonuses and payback will soon roll in.
