Love, dreams, and fresh beginnings — this week brings significant shifts that touch all of these areas.
It begins with a New Moon in Cancer on the 17th, steering us toward deeper emotion, self-reflection, and new developments in our relationships with others and ourselves.
Then on the 22nd, Venus turns retrograde in Leo just as Leo season begins. This transit encourages a focus on passion, self-love, creativity, and the theatrical side of life. Expect to get introspective about how you give and receive affection.
There’s a lot happening — so consulting the Tarot can help translate these energies into personal guidance for the week.
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for July 17 – 23, 2023
Aries
8 of Pentacles (Reversed)
Aries normally charges ahead with determination, but the 8 of Pentacles reversed suggests low motivation and a tendency to avoid tasks. This week calls for genuine rest rather than procrastination. Be deliberate about how you use downtime: if you choose to rest, fully step away from work and obligations so you can recharge.
Taurus
10 of Pentacles
Prosperity and stability appear for Taurus with the 10 of Pentacles. This card highlights long-term security, legacy, and sharing abundance with others. You’re connecting with a sense of purpose that will illuminate present opportunities aligned with your bigger vision.
Gemini
The Hermit
Gemini, your insights run deep. The Hermit invites solitude to nurture difficult-to-explain ideas and inner wisdom. This week favors prioritizing your thoughts, listening closely to inner guidance, and perhaps recording plans or breakthroughs to refine later.
Cancer
King of Wands
Cancer, confidence and creative drive are rising. The King of Wands urges you to step forward and share your light. Move with courage, humor, and initiative — say yes to new chances and take the lead; your energy can inspire others and open doors.
Leo
The Chariot
Leo is on a trajectory toward success. With The Chariot in play during your season, focus, determination, and clear action will bring results. Speak up, stay confident, and commit to the work required: progress follows disciplined effort.
Virgo
6 of Cups
Nostalgia surfaces for Virgo as the 6 of Cups returns memories and familiar feelings. These recollections can reveal insights or tools you can use now in new ways. Reflect on what resurfaces, then bring those lessons back into your present circumstances.
Libra
Temperance
Balance and moderation guide Libra this week. Temperance asks for patience, compassion, and an even rhythm between effort and rest. Avoid forcing outcomes or rushing decisions; a steady, measured approach will yield the best results.
Scorpio
10 of Cups (Reversed)
Scorpio may feel a sense of emotional disconnect or dissatisfaction with current circumstances. The 10 of Cups reversed points to unmet expectations around long-term fulfillment. Acknowledge your feelings without dwelling in them; let dissatisfaction motivate constructive change rather than passive rumination.
Sagittarius
The Devil (Reversed)
Sagittarius has been confronting internal patterns, and The Devil reversed signals release. You’re beginning to detach from unhealthy habits, ties, or influences. This week supports cutting cords that no longer serve you and moving toward greater freedom.
Capricorn
The Magician
Capricorn, you have resources, ideas, and skills ready to use. The Magician empowers you to choose a path and take effective action. Although options may feel overwhelming, trust your abilities and craft a plan — you have what it takes to make progress.
Aquarius
8 of Wands
Aquarius, momentum is yours. The 8 of Wands encourages swift decisions, clear communication, and bold moves. If you’ve been waiting, now is a favorable time to act, speak up, and take calculated risks that push things forward.
Pisces
The World (Reversed)
Pisces may sense that something important is incomplete. The World reversed highlights areas that feel disconnected from your long-term vision. Use this awareness as a prompt for honest reflection: identify what’s missing and consider adjustments that bring your life into greater alignment.
How to Connect Your Tarotscope to the Stars
Your Tarotscope becomes more meaningful when placed alongside current astrological influences. This week’s New Moon in Cancer and Venus retrograde in Leo shine a spotlight on matters of the heart, urging honest appraisal of how you love and are loved. The Tarot may not always point directly to romance; often it reveals the inner work or practical steps you must take first. Start with the insight your card provides, then widen your view to include the astrological context. The planets will illuminate your path as you move forward with clarity and intention.
