On the 24th, Uranus turns retrograde, and on the 25th Mercury, the planet of communication and technology, enters Libra. These transits set a tone of internal change, reevaluation, and a need for clearer communication.
If all of this feels like a lot, don’t worry — we’ll use the Tarot to check in for the week ahead and highlight the key themes each sign should pay attention to.

Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for August 22 – 28, 2022
Aries
The Devil
Aries, you’re used to charging forward, but this week requires a different kind of courage. The Devil card points to obligations, temptations, and emotional baggage you may have been avoiding. The shortcuts that used to work no longer apply — it’s time to face what you’ve been putting off.
Expect difficult conversations, honest self-reflection, and the possibility of accepting that you can’t always come out on top. Tackling these issues head-on will free you up to move forward with more clarity.
Taurus
9 of Swords (Reversed)
Taurus, you’re confronting inner fears and winning small but meaningful victories. The 9 of Swords often signals anxiety and sleepless nights, but reversed here it suggests you’re beginning to let go of unproductive worry.
Don’t suppress your feelings—work through them. Facing anxieties directly, instead of burying them, will help you reclaim peace of mind.
Gemini
7 of Wands
Gemini, you’re still dealing with the draining energy of Wands, but this week brings a more proactive stance. After last week’s caution and guardedness, the 7 of Wands asks you to stand your ground and tackle obstacles head-on.
Progress may feel like an uphill climb, but you’ll find hands-on opportunities to solve problems rather than waiting passively. Keep pushing — your efforts matter.
Cancer
8 of Cups (Reversed)
Cancer, trust your intuition. The 8 of Cups reversed warns that something might look fine on the surface but feel off inside. You may resist these nudges, wondering if you’re overreacting, but your inner voice is worth listening to.
Even when reason points one way, your heart often knows the right path. Allow your emotional wisdom to guide you.
Leo
4 of Wands (Reversed)
This week isn’t the best for coordinating group efforts or social plans, Leo. The 4 of Wands reversed suggests friction or delays in celebrations and connections. Instead of forcing interactions, take time to focus on yourself.
A temporary setback with others doesn’t define your larger trajectory. Use this quieter period for personal reflection and recharge.
Virgo
King of Swords (Reversed)
Virgo, leadership and communication have been prominent in your life, but the King of Swords reversed asks you to temper that drive. You may be ready to speak and take charge, yet others aren’t necessarily prepared to receive your direction.
Consider passing the baton when appropriate and listening more than lecturing. A softer approach will serve you better now.
Libra
Wheel of Fortune
Libra, the Wheel of Fortune brings shifting circumstances and the possibility of unexpected good fortune. This card encourages you to flow with changing events, even if they don’t look glamorous at first glance.
Accept blessings as they come and trust that being flexible will align you with new opportunities.
Scorpio
5 of Wands (Reversed)
Scorpio, opt out of petty conflict this week. The 5 of Wands indicates scattered energy and potential squabbles, but reversed it suggests stepping back from drama.
Retreat into your own world if needed; disengaging from unnecessary fights protects your focus and peace.
Sagittarius
6 of Pentacles
Sagittarius, your generous spirit is highlighted. The 6 of Pentacles encourages sharing your resources—whether that’s time, knowledge, or encouragement.
Offer help freely without expecting a return, and do so with sensitivity to whether others are open to receiving advice. Your generosity can make a real difference this week.
Capricorn
Ace of Wands
Capricorn, a surge of creative energy and motivation is here. The Ace of Wands brings inspiration, new projects, and a passionate push to get things started.
While you’re naturally practical, allow ideas to flow without overanalyzing them at first. Embrace momentum and explore the spark before refining the plan.
Aquarius
3 of Wands (Reversed)
Aquarius, pause on launching big plans just yet. The 3 of Wands reversed suggests that although your goals are promising, they’re not ready for full pursuit.
Feelings of anticipation may surface, but patience will serve you best now. Hold steady and let the timing align before committing fully.
Pisces
The Lovers (Reversed)
Pisces, your heart may feel unsettled this week. The Lovers reversed points to confusion around relationships, choices, and aligning actions with your values.
Avoid rushed decisions and give yourself space to sit with difficult emotions. Clarity will emerge if you allow time and gentle reflection.
Busy Astrology, Busy Schedule
This week’s transits and tarot cards can feel intense, but they simply reflect shifts already present in your life. The stars and cards provide language and perspective for what you’ve been experiencing, and they offer guidance for how to approach the coming days.
With this awareness, you’re better equipped to navigate a busy schedule — not by forcing outcomes, but by responding thoughtfully. Use these energies to prioritize what truly matters and to act with intention.
