Your Weekly Tarot Reading for August 4–10, 2024: Get Creative!

This week starts with a few notable cosmic moments providing opportunities to work with this energy rather than against it! Our new moon in Leo on the fourth encourages us to set intentions around our creativity. This is a wonderful time to dive into new projects that allow you to fully express yourself, especially around something you feel passionately about. Indulge every form of self-expression and allow your pursuits to take center stage! 

Mercury also goes retrograde, and even though this has become a much-feared transit in pop culture, there’s no need to get dramatic (even though it is Leo season!). Think of this time as a wonderful opportunity to slow down and be more mindful, especially when it comes to all forms of communication. Show yourself and others patience and compassion because kindness can make a world of difference.

This week’s intuitively pulled Tarot cards help us clear the haze of confusion with reminders of self-care and visionary inner exploration so we can see the bigger picture, especially when it comes to our accomplishments. It’s okay to be confused, especially during these planetary transits, but try not to let this energy interfere with who you know yourself to be in your heart. 

Read on for your Tarotscopes for cosmic guidance and insight into your week ahead!
