Welcome to the close of July and the start of August 2023.
We begin this week under a Full Moon in Aquarius on the 1st — a moment that invites you to embrace independence, broaden your perspective, and celebrate the quirks that make you unique.
A Full Moon can feel intense and energizing, but remember that its impact depends on how you use it. To make the most of this powerful lunar energy, be intentional: notice what needs attention and act with purpose.
Below is a practical tarot-based overview for the week of July 31 – August 6, 2023, to help you channel the lunar energy in ways that fit your sign.

Aries
The Sun (Reversed)
Aries may feel a little dimmed this week. The Sun reversed softens your usual enthusiasm and self-assuredness, so you may notice less drive and fewer spontaneous impulses than usual. This is a temporary lull — don’t push yourself into forced productivity. Rest when needed and let energy return naturally.
Taurus
The Devil (Reversed)
Taurus is ready to shake free of old patterns. The Devil reversed points to releasing burdens and reevaluating what’s been holding you back. Use the Full Moon’s renewal energy to start small changes that lead to greater freedom and healthier habits.
Gemini
10 of Swords (Reversed)
Gemini needs to accept endings, though letting go might be hard. The 10 of Swords reversed suggests some denial or stalled healing. Honest reflection will help you move forward; acknowledge what’s finished so you can create space for renewal.
Cancer
3 of Wands
Cancer benefits from a patient, optimistic stance. The 3 of Wands encourages you to keep faith in your plans and trust the process while waiting for results. Maintain a clear vision, stay open to opportunities, and be ready when your efforts begin to pay off.
Leo
2 of Cups
Leo should keep the heart open this week. The 2 of Cups points to mutual connection and emotional honesty. While vulnerability can feel exposing, retreating from others won’t serve you. Be candid about your feelings and allow authentic connections to deepen.
Virgo
6 of Cups (Reversed)
Virgo, the present calls for your attention. The 6 of Cups reversed warns against getting lost in nostalgia. It’s fine to learn from the past, but focus on applying those lessons now. Channel emotional reflections into practical steps that improve your current life.
Libra
Wheel of Fortune
Libra is reminded to trust the unfolding process. The Wheel of Fortune emphasizes cycles, fate, and shifts in momentum. This week asks you to release control, resist overthinking, and accept change. Luck often arrives when you let go and move with the flow.
Scorpio
The Moon (Reversed)
Scorpio faces murky feelings and unanswered questions. The Moon reversed suggests that trying to dissect every mystery right now may be unproductive. Instead, allow ambiguity to exist for a time and focus on what you can observe clearly. Let some things unfold without forcing explanations.
Sagittarius
Queen of Cups (Reversed)
Sagittarius may feel emotionally overwhelmed. The Queen of Cups reversed signals heightened sensitivity and difficulty managing intense feelings. Give yourself permission to feel, practice self-care, and set gentle boundaries while you process what’s arising.
Capricorn
The Star
Capricorn, opportunities for healing and renewal are emerging. The Star brings hope, spiritual renewal, and a renewed sense of purpose. Trust your intuition and allow small, authentic changes to guide you toward new possibilities that begin from inner alignment.
Aquarius
5 of Cups
Aquarius is confronting disappointment and loss this week. The 5 of Cups highlights grief and what feels lacking. Acknowledge these feelings but use them constructively: identify what’s missing and create intentional steps to fill those gaps rather than dwelling without purpose.
Pisces
The Hanged Man (Reversed)
Pisces may resist stillness and struggle to trust inner guidance. The Hanged Man reversed describes restlessness and a sense of disorientation. Although surrendering is hard, persistent effort to listen to your intuition will help. Be patient with the process and keep practicing trust.
