Featured Tarot Deck: Santa Muerte Deck
Some notable dates this month include:
Full Moon in Aquarius: August 3rd
New Moon in Leo: August 18th
Aries: Mar 21 – Apr 20
Oof Aries, you beautiful fiery creatures. The Lovers reversed can indicate communications breaking down and your messages not getting across to those you have partnerships with. This can be a romantic or business partnership. Usually, this isn’t made or break, but rather being completely out of sync with those around you. The solution may be as simple as stepping back for a few days and reflecting on new ways to communicate with others. Unfortunately, if you can’t tackle that, it can indicate relationships breaking down and ending. Don’t freak that it’s all doom and gloom, a simple problem has a simple solution. You’re not bigger than it, so have some self-reflection and press forward with a new mindset and attitude!
Taurus: April 21- May 21
All Aces point toward pure potential and the Ace of Swords is no exception, Taurus! The Ace of Swords brings new ideas and mental clarity. This is a good time to write and expand your ideas. You will have high levels of mental clarity. With the month of August upon us, focus outward to new creative ideas and forms of communication. Been on the fence about starting something? Here is your sign!
There is a lot of power in this card, and as the suit of swords, can be used for both good and evil. You will be able to cut right to the heart of a situation and see it very clearly.
Gemini: May 22- June 21
Gemini, the Empress is all about creativity and growth, and your lovelies are set up for a sound August creatively. She is the ultimate mother. She is kind, nurturing, and loving. Everything you put your mind to this month has the potential to not only grow exponentially but to be nurtured for the long term, not just the weeks ahead.
If you are starting a new chapter of your life, take this as a great sign for the growth to come. With that, however, make sure you are creating boundaries for those in your life. People may start seeing you as beautiful and caring. They want to be around you and seek advice from you. The Empress doesn’t hold secret knowledge, and some people may try to take advantage of that. Be kind, but don’t be a doormat.
Cancer: June 22- July 22
This I personally love to see, as a Cancer myself. The King of Pentacles almost always indicates a wealthy man. And this really depends on what you view as wealthy. This doesn’t necessarily mean he is some millionaire. Instead, we are looking at energies that are comparable to not having any wants or needs at this time. He has shelter, food, his bills are paid, and he has a happy and healthy home life. Wealth comes in many forms, doesn’t it? You are no exception to this Cancer.
Your blessings will come this month and it’s going to feel so well deserved. Don’t look for the faults in it, just count your blessings and acknowledge them.
Leo: July 23- August 23
Happy Birthday, Leo! As I have stated before, Aces are full of potential and the Ace of Wands is absolutely no exception. Basically this card speaks to you Leos having full potential on any projects you put your mind to, you just have to get up off that booty and make it happen. Remember that good fortune doesn’t find you, sometimes you have to get up and take it. It presents itself, but without the act of seizing the moment, it will be wasted.
The Ace of Wands is the initial burst of creative energy. It is the raw energy for starting a new project. It’s the motivation, the spark, the idea. You have the courage to pursue something new, different, and exciting. Now is the time to start a new project.
Virgo: August 24- September 22
AHHHH! Oh my gosh as I see this, I have a few Virgos in mind I want to shake and say “see it wasn’t for nothing!” The Four of Wands denotes major life changes and accomplishments. These aren’t small life markers. This is having a baby, getting married, graduating from university, buying your first home, etc, etc. This is a huge deal and you can finally kick your feet up and say “Fuck yes, I did it!”
Sometimes this card can indicate a need to see people or network. Now I’m not trying to suggest that you break COVID social distance regulations, but instead digitally (or similar) lean on those in your circle. Consider them in your corner and wanting nothing but the best for you! They want to prop you up during that big life accomplishment! Let them!!
Libra: September 23- October 23
This card is infinitely better than last month! The Two of Swords speaks to things becoming clear and no more need to guard ourselves against the outside world. There is the stalemate of its upright self, and in reversed we are looking at that stalemate finally getting traction, communication becoming clearer, and life progressing forward again.
If you’ve been at odds with someone or a situation, look forward to that coming to an end. It’s time to stop arguing or butting heads and instead time to start looking for solutions. Work as a team, not against each other, so both walk away happy.
Scorpio: October 24- November 22
To be perfectly honest Scorpio I am disappointed to see this. The Page of Swords Reversed can indicate spiteful behavior. This page can act out of malice because they aren’t getting their way. Remember that when they go low, we go high and don’t allow yourself to fall into the tit for tat antics.
The Page of Swords reversed is a blubbering idiot, who thinks they have all the answers. They are stumbling through life blinding thinking they know it all. We always have room to grow. Even those at the top of a knowledge pyramid, know that they are still always learning more. You are never going to be the most knowledgable in the room about everything, so learn to listen to others. Even if you are technically right, apart of learning is also learning from other’s perspectives.
Sagittarius: November 23- December 21
The Knight of Cups is representative of proposals, new unions, and developments in our relationships. There is a lot to be excited about this month Sagittarius! Consider good news coming in like a Miley Cyrus wrecking ball! Haha! (There’s a throwback I bet you never expected!) Knights as action takers and because of this, we can expect your proposals (romantic or business) to come swiftly and oftentimes unexpectedly!
The news or offers he brings usually carry with them a lot of excitement. They are the kinds of offers or news we hope to receive. Don’t look for the negative in the situation and instead relish in the excitement. Allow yourself that space!
Capricorn: December 22- January 20
You had, had a couple of rough readings the last few months, but finally some respite! The Eight of Swords reversed can indicate that you are finally letting go of the boundaries and restrictions that limited you. Situations become clearer, and your fog is lifted from your eyes. Decision making becomes easy, and you are able to grab the bull by the horns with confidence!
In some situations, someone else may have been limiting your scope and you finally realize that they are not in control of your destiny. We make our decisions for ourself and this is no exception! Remember who the HBIC is, and you’ve got this, don’t ask permission for the future you want, decide it’s yours, and start taking the steps to make it a reality!
Aquarius: January 21- February 18
Aquarius this is your month of giving. Although you may not be from a financial standpoint to tackle charity work, there are other ways you can get involved. Think about when you have too much of something, you donate that to those who could use it. This could be simple acts from clearing out old clothes and dropping them off at a nearby shelter, to volunteering in a program near you.
Remember that getting involved does not mean you have to be wealthy, and it does not mean you need to dedicate your life to it. Balance is everything. You can find it, just do a little self-reflection before pushing forward.
Pisces: February 19- March 20
This is less than great to see my Pisces friends. The Hanged Man reversed can indicate that you are being impulsive and making rash decisions as a way to distract yourself from some sort of inner discontentment. It suggests that you may be jumping from one bad situation to the next without considering where this behavior is taking you.
It may be time that you ask yourself if there are feelings you trying to avoid. If there are, consider what you fear will happen if you do? If you genuinely don’t know what to do in terms of your direction in life, just stop, breathe, and wait for things to become clearer. Meditate on it, and potentially try to look at this situation from a new angle.
