Two energetic and productive planetary shifts are happening this week. How they influence you will depend on your sign and circumstances.
On July 10th, Mars — the planet of drive and assertiveness — moves into detail-oriented, efficient Virgo. This transit boosts focus, stamina, and the urge to get things done, helping you tackle tasks with determination.
The following day, July 11th, Mercury enters expressive, theatrical Leo. As the planet of communication and thought meets this creative sign, conversations and self-expression take on more warmth, confidence, and flair.
Want to know how these energies play out personally? We consulted the Tarot to highlight themes and guidance for each sign for the week ahead.
Your Sign’s Weekly Tarotscope for July 10 – 16, 2023
Aries
Knight of Wands (Reversed)
Aries may feel the urge to charge ahead, but momentum could be sputtering. The Knight of Wands reversed points to ambition and drive that are present but blocked—either by burnout from moving too quickly or by short tempers and impatience.
This week calls for restraint: pause before making impulsive choices and give yourself time to recover energy so you can move forward more effectively.
Taurus
The Hanged Man
Taurus, you’re invited to shift perspective. The Hanged Man suggests stepping back, reassessing, and considering alternative viewpoints rather than pushing ahead on autopilot.
Make space for quiet reflection this week—revisiting the facts with fresh eyes will reveal options you might have missed while staying constantly busy.
Gemini
8 of Pentacles
Gemini enjoys a practical, productive streak this week. The 8 of Pentacles favors steady work on existing projects rather than starting something new.
If you organize your priorities and focus on finishing what’s already on your plate, you’ll make solid progress and feel rewarded by tangible results.
Cancer
7 of Wands
Cancer is in a determined, independent mood. The 7 of Wands shows you standing your ground and exerting effort to overcome obstacles—leadership and persistence are highlighted.
You may not get help from others, but you don’t necessarily need it; your determination will carry you through challenges this week.
Leo
King of Wands (Reversed)
Leo might need to temper ego and impulse. The reversed King of Wands warns against aggressive or prideful behavior and suggests taking a step back before making major decisions.
Consider where to channel your energy constructively—and remember that leadership sometimes means delegating or passing the baton when appropriate.
Virgo
10 of Wands (Reversed)
This week invites Virgo to release burdens. The 10 of Wands reversed signals the need to lighten your load and let go of responsibilities that no longer serve your goals.
Clearing away excess will create space for fresher opportunities and allow you to pursue larger aims with less strain.
Libra
4 of Wands (Reversed)
Libra may notice social friction or a lack of harmony in friendships and community circles. The 4 of Wands reversed doesn’t spell disaster but does suggest temporary distance or awkwardness with people who usually feel steady.
Allow things to settle naturally—this awkwardness is likely short-lived and will pass in time.
Scorpio
Page of Pentacles (Reversed)
Scorpio’s curiosity and ambition are strong, but the Page of Pentacles reversed calls for more planning and experience before launching new ventures—especially work- or home-related projects.
Be patient, seek needed information or a second opinion, and refine your approach rather than rushing into action.
Sagittarius
5 of Wands
Sagittarius faces external friction this week. The 5 of Wands signals chaotic energy or conflicts in your surroundings rather than internal emotional loss.
Avoid stepping into disputes that aren’t yours to solve. Staying out of chaotic situations and letting tensions dissipate will serve you best right now.
Capricorn
7 of Swords
Capricorn may be tempted to take shortcuts or pursue unconventional tactics. The 7 of Swords highlights creative problem-solving but also warns to consider the ethics and long-term consequences of such approaches.
Weigh whether the outcome justifies the method before acting; not all success is worth compromising your standards.
Aquarius
10 of Cups
Aquarius is likely experiencing contentment and emotional fulfillment now. The 10 of Cups suggests that your current circumstances may become the memories you look back on fondly.
Notice the small joys around you and offer gratitude for what’s already present—this appreciation deepens the positive energy you’re living through.
Pisces
10 of Pentacles (Reversed)
Pisces continues to wrestle with material or lifestyle misalignments. The 10 of Pentacles reversed points out aspects of your current setup that don’t match your long-term vision.
Pay attention to the small irritations—they can reveal what needs to change. Use this week to identify adjustments that will support a more sustainable future.
