Get ready for a new week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Here we are at the end of August and heading into a new month, back to school, towards the autumn, and into the final third of 2026. It’s a dramatic shift from the long, lazy days of summer to the more organised, practical, and scheduled rituals of the incoming season. Let yourself straddle both worlds this week, it’s a unique liminal space, and enjoy the lingering indulgence of August alongside the reorganised and ready vibes of September. What last pleasure of the Summer is still waiting to be picked? What must you do before the season ends? Let the tarot guide you. Looking for more insight?

Aries March 21 to April 20 Love in all its forms are on the cards for you right now (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Empress Meaning: Summer lovin’ is still on the cards for you, Aries! If this is a romance, then Libra and Taurus are particularly good signs for you, and this could be more than a fling. Either way, the Empress has powerful love energy all around her, even foretelling fertility and the beginning or growth of a family. Enjoy the great outdoors, be around nature, make simple, homely pleasures the focus of your week — a snooze in the garden, a homecooked meal, a game with friends, a nighttime stroll. Simple indulgences that remind you how easy it can be to live a good life. Live it now.

April 21 to May 21 Time to say what needs to be said (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Judgement Meaning: The Full Moon in Pisces has not long passed and you’re still ruminating on ideas, insights and inspirations that hit you hard last week. Coming to terms with new info takes you a minute because you deliberate deeply and widely. You like to feel sure and certain of your position before saying anything but, this week, you’re ready to spill your thoughts and response. Judgement brings clarity, self awareness, understanding. You see where you fit, why things are the way they are, and how you play a role in it. And you’re ready to talk about it now.

It’s not time to light the home fires, you’re still busy having adventures and planning more to come. That’s okay, as you’ve got another three weeks before autumn kicks in — so fill your calendar with outings and trips and new venues you are dying to check out. Put purpose into your travels, make an agenda, create goals to seek and find in each outing. Take lots of photos, you will want to remember this special time. Feels like a bright idea might just spring out of it, too. Travel broadens and reboots your mental capacity. It’s like an injection of creativity. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Gemini Cancer June 22 to July 23 We all need rest; you more than most this week (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Ten of Wands Meaning: Full Moons always drain you a little as you’re ruled by the Moon and it’s the most intense phase of its cycle. So, rest up this week, Cancer. The Ten of Wands warns of burning the candle too brightly, so keep to a loose and lightweight schedule, and get plenty of deep rest and restoration. A change of season (maybe it’s the light and temperature shifts) also often makes you tired. Listen to your body, take heed of your rhythms and natural clock, and carve out time to look after yourself in the best ways — good food, hydration, rest, relaxation, company, and stimulus. Treat this week like a spa break. You will come through feeling much restored.

And you still get weekends to play, right? The Queen of Coins shows that whatever you take ownership of and focus on getting organised this week will turn out great — whether it’s health, wealth, work, or home. Take charge, be the boss, set the tone, make the agenda. Lead the way, Leo, like you were born to do. It’s time to shape up! Head here for everything you need to know about being a Leo Virgo August 24 to September 23 It’s your time (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Virgo for this week: The Fool Meaning: We are into your sign’s season now — your birthday era — and The Fool grants you a fresh start in any area of life you feel stagnated, bored, or trapped. What do you wish would change? Make that wish! Visualise and breathe life into it and then take an overt or symbolic step in its direction to make that commitment to it. Let the Universe know that you want this clean slate, new beginning, fresh start. Travel, technology, radical shifts, bold leaps into the unknown, deals with Aquarians, and progressive good causes are all good ideas with this card’s energy, or something aligned with one of those themes. It’s your time to make a change, for you alone. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Virgo Libra September 24 to October 23 Make the most of these final days of summer fun (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Libra for this week: King of Cups Meaning: Keep the good times rolling, Libra, after all you are ruled by Venus so pleasure will always find you easily. The King of Cups is relaxed, at peace, chilled, and the centre of all good things in his realm. Folk are drawn to him for a good time, as they are with you. And it’s not just about partying or play (though they can feature too), it’s about good company, fellowship, deep talks, a shared understanding and togetherness. Being with folk you love and like doing things together that will imprint memories and bonding to sustain you all through the autumn and winter to come. Squeeze every last drop of summer out of this week. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Libra Scorpio October 24 to November 22 Death is the tarot’s card of transformation (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Death Meaning: Death is your star sign’s totem card and a strong omen of change and transition, preceded by an ending (a welcome one). Leave something behind in August that you don’t wish to carry on sustaining. Just drop it. Let it go. Release the hold it has over you. New growth will come when you have extricated yourself from this chore, place, role or bond, and take you all the way to a rebirth and renewal happening around your own birthday later in the autumn. This major shift starts here this week. And it starts with letting go of something you know you have outgrown. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Scorpio Sagittarius November 23 to December 21 You’ll feel so much better once you do this (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Knight of Coins Meaning: Back to school, September is here, heading into autumn — time to let summer flings and frivolities go. In a way, you’re relieved. It’s hard keeping up the pace that others seem to expect of you when the sun is shining and folk are on holiday. You love to be in the thick of it, but boy does it eat up time, money, energy and resources. The Knight of Coins suggests you spend this week decompressing and reorganising. Get yourself a sensible, feasible, and prioritised to-do list going for the month ahead. Make sure you’re ticking the right boxes and using your depleted energies wisely. Make sure you’re getting rewards and recognition for the work you’re doing. Have a little overview of things. Make a few tweaks. Time to get busy. Head here for everything you need to know about being a Sagittarius Capricorn December 22 to January 21 Taking control comes easily to you, Capricorn (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Two of Wands Meaning: You enjoy the turn of a month because it’s like starting a new page in a journal, a clean sheet of paper, inviting you to reprioritise, reorganise, and think about your goals and strategies once more. The Two of Wands says that you must make some cuts. You can’t keep all the plates spinning that are currently in motion, or you’ll drop and break them. You need to zoom in on what matters most, delay and delegate the rest, and focus on the top goal. Decision-making comes fairly naturally to you, but you need to carve out some quiet time to do this early on in the week. Don’t skip it! Head here for everything you need to know about being a Capricorn Aquarius January 22 to February 19 Don’t feel bad being a bit selfish from time to time (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Eight of Swords Meaning: Summer can be quite a time for compromise and sacrifice because everyone suddenly has ideas of what to do, holidays need to be taken and enjoyed, folk have longer days and more options. And you’re actually quite wrung out with it all, as you kind of prefer your own pace, company and priorities! The Eight of Swords asks you to wipe the slate clean. A new month means you can leave any summer disgruntlements or frustrations behind in that season. Don’t keep on overthinking it. Don’t assume or project your fears or annoyances with people onto them as their problem. Start anew, step back a little from being so involved, and have a lovely week of doing what you want to do! Head here for everything you need to know about being an Aquarius Pisces February 20 to March 20 Things are about to start looking up (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk) Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Eight of Cups Meaning: Your Full Moon has passed now but the aftermath has you a little shaken and stirred, you’re feeling sensitive and perhaps dwelling on the things you coulda, woulda, shoulda said, done or stuck to this summer. But Pisces, don’t worry or fret. There’s still a whole third of 2026 to go, and I think the best is yet to come for you. The Eight of Cups asks you to let go of any and all disappointments and fix your gaze ahead to the future. You will get second chances, you will receive exciting and unexpected opportunities. And they’ll be all the sweeter because you doubt their presence. Prepare to start getting some lovely surprises.
