Ready to make waves?
Uranus retrograde begins in the fixed sign of Taurus on the 28th, slowing the pace and asking us to accept the changes that have already unfolded for now.
Then the Full Moon in Pisces on the 30th invites release—clearing out what you’ve been holding in your heart and making room for something new.
Finally, Venus retrograde wraps up when the planet of love and beauty turns direct on the 3rd. From start to finish, this week brings several notable astrological events that can help you imagine new directions for the future, as long as you stay flexible and take action.
With that in mind, here’s the Tarot guidance to support you as you move forward.
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for August 28 – September 3, 2023
Aries
King of Wands
Aries, you may feel like the world is yours this week. The King of Wands brings bold leadership, confidence, and a readiness to act. This is a moment to claim what you want—speak up, launch a project, take a daring step, or start a creative pursuit. Your energy is magnetic; use it to move forward with intention.
Taurus
7 of Cups (Reversed)
Taurus, you might be prone to overthinking. The 7 of Cups reversed suggests many possibilities are clouding your judgment, and searching for a single “right” answer may be unnecessary. Sometimes making a choice—even an imperfect one—frees you to progress. Trust that picking a direction is often better than waiting for perfection.
Gemini
3 of Wands (Reversed)
Gemini, you want to move ahead but may feel stalled. The 3 of Wands reversed points to a period of waiting or delayed progress. It can feel frustrating, but this pause can become a useful planning stage. Use this time to refine your strategy rather than forcing action before things are ready.
Cancer
2 of Wands
Cancer, you’re preparing to set off with new plans. The 2 of Wands encourages future-oriented thinking: travel, creative ventures, and entrepreneurial moves are favored. With a powerful Full Moon nearby, this is an excellent week to set clear intentions and map out your next steps.
Leo
7 of Wands (Reversed)
Leo, you don’t have to carry everything alone. The 7 of Wands reversed recommends putting down some tasks and accepting help. Your natural drive pushes you to power through, but rest and delegation will serve you better right now. Allow others to support you so you can recharge.
Virgo
5 of Pentacles
Virgo, the 5 of Pentacles signals a challenging stretch in finances, career, or home life. You may sense a lack or emptiness in these areas. While uncomfortable, this gap also creates space to build something new. Practical planning and small, steady steps will help you rebuild stability.
Libra
The Hermit (Reversed)
Libra, you’re emerging from a period of solitude. The Hermit reversed suggests it’s time to reengage with the world and find balance between introspection and social life. Gradually step back into connection and allow your ideas to be tested by real-world interaction.
Scorpio
5 of Swords
Scorpio, beware of conflict and underhanded behavior this week. The 5 of Swords can point to deceit, manipulation, or people acting unfairly to get ahead. Stay alert and protect your boundaries, but avoid getting pulled into pettiness. Respond with strategy and integrity rather than retaliation.
Sagittarius
King of Pentacles (Reversed)
Sagittarius, you may be wrestling with control issues around money, possessions, or career. The King of Pentacles reversed highlights anxiety about stability and the urge to micromanage outcomes. Accept that not everything is within your control; focus on practical actions you can take and release what you cannot change.
Capricorn
Ace of Wands (Reversed)
Capricorn, inspiration may feel blocked right now. The Ace of Wands reversed signals burnout, hesitation, or uncertainty about where to begin. Lean on your natural discipline to break tasks into small steps and reignite momentum gradually. You have the skills to overcome this pause.
Aquarius
9 of Pentacles
Aquarius, enjoy the rewards of your efforts. The 9 of Pentacles invites you to relax and savor personal comfort and independence. Schedule time for self-care and pleasures that recharge you. Focus on what you want in this moment rather than obligations to others.
Pisces
5 of Cups (Reversed)
Pisces, you’re moving forward from past disappointments. The 5 of Cups reversed indicates healing and the willingness to leave grief or regret behind. While letting go can be hard, this week supports new emotional growth and the ability to embrace better possibilities ahead.
Your Guide to the Full Moon in Pisces
Your Tarotscope offers personal insight for the week, but it also helps to be aware of the larger astrological backdrop. Each Full Moon has its own flavor, and this Pisces Full Moon emphasizes emotional release, compassion, and creative imagination.
Use the energy to reflect, set intentions, and clear what no longer serves you. Practices like journaling, quiet meditation, or ritual release can be especially powerful now.
Reflect on the month and consider which seeds you want to plant as you move into September.
