Self awareness reveals natural leadership power

Love & Relationships - The Emperor

Power dynamics are important, they shape our interactions and sense of identity.

The Emperor suggests you’re struggling with a power dynamic in your inner circle, someone has an upper hand and is wielding it wrongly.

It’s time to correct this by changing the mood, activity, and frequency of contact.

This person is likely to be very similar to you, almost a cosmic twin.

Re-set the energy by behaving differently this August.

This will work. Be consistent.

Work & Purpose - The Sun

You are entering your most powerful and successful era!

The Sun is a bringer of success, prosperity, joy, and ambition, almost inviting you to enter a realm of reward by making a confident step through a portal.

You need to apply, pitch, ask, challenge, or create something- almost like a sacrifice or ritual.

If you do it boldly, led by hope not fear, you will be met with great success.

International opportunities are also possible.

Omen to look out for - Nine of Cups

Look for the number 9 or repeats of it.

Look for symbols of wish making and dream fulfilment i.e. stars, magic lamps, genies, fairies etc.

Look out for a situation where you need a dash of luck to succeed.

If you notice one of these omens then you’re in the right place at the right time to get what you most want.

Take a step right THERE AND THEN.

Taurus

Love locks in, but big decisions linger - Taurus, August is all about knowing what (and who) you want.

You can win whatever game you choose to play this July

Love & Relationships - Ten of Coins

All Taureans crave stability, certainty, and control- it’s hardwired into their nature.

The Ten of Coins delivers these much-sought things into your love life this August via proposals, commitments, declarations, intimate connections, legal agreements, and shared goals.

If you’re single, then a solid, loving fellow Earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) could enter your realm and become your ‘everything’.

A happy ever after in love awaits.

Work & Purpose - The Lovers

You feel a bit confused about your direction this August- maybe a head vs heart schism about your path or next step.

Take your time, don’t be pressured into a snap judgement.

Do the mental gymnastics and research to understand your situation, options, and potential fully, and wait until you feel clear and calm about a certain option.

And then, and only then, take decisive action.

Omen to look out for - Queen of Wands

Look out for women who inspire, excite, or wildly entertain you.

Listen to them carefully.

Look out for Fire sign folk (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) who invite you someplace.

Look out for course, books, shows or podcasts about leadership.

If you notice one of these omens then you’re being advice, opportunity or insight that will help you to rise, take ownership, and fulfil a leadership role you’re destined for.

Gemini

Step back, learn more, and let the universe show its hand - Gemini, this month is a masterclass.

Illustration of three tarot cards: Three of Wands, Page of Coins, and The High Priestess.
You are rising, this is your time

Love & Relationships - Three of Wands

Step back from the pressure or expectation that it’s YOU who has to do all of the organising, fun-creation, and effort.

Let things swing as they would without your 24/7 influence, and see what’s really there.

Sometimes you do too much for others, and it’s taken for granted.

The Three of Wands shows that August will bring plenty of openings for folk to show you their true feelings and intentions towards you.

Work & Purpose - Page of Pentacles

Education is your BFF.

All Geminis love learning and studying- you never really left that school mentality.

The Page of Coins wants you back in the classroom, potentially for career (re)training, or even personal development.

Whether it’s formal or informal will depend on your circumstance and opportunity, but however you do it, seek education and stimulate your mind with new knowledge and skill.

What you learn could take you places!

Omen to look out for - The High Priestess

Look for the number 2 or repeats of it.

Look for couples who catch your eye, and ask yourself why.

Look out for psychic experiences or interludes, uncanny or strange occurrences, and notice where you were / what you were doing.

If you notice one of these omens then you’re receiving instruction from a higher being about what is important for you in relationships vs what you need to do / own / work on solo.

Cancer

See the truth, honour your intuition, and glow up - Cancer, August is a mirror and a map.

Three tarot cards: Seven of Cups, Three of Wands, and Judgement.
Coincidence, creativity, and collaboration

Love & Relationships - Seven of Cups

Avoid the temptation to retreat into your Cancerian exoskeleton shell and spend more time thinking, vs doing anything, about your love life and key relationships.

You can project, assume, overthink. It doesn’t do any good. Instead, verify, discuss, ask, challenge, check.

Get clarity on where you stand and take steps from that point (not what you imagine to be the case).

Work & Purpose - Three of Wands

Luck, karma and fate are conspiring to bring you new news and ideas this August, so let them do their thing and don’t get in the way!

Tune into your intuition and gut instinct (which is very powerful for you).

Notice random events or acts, coincidence, omens and signs. Pay attention to your dreams.

Decipher messages and nudges and signposting from the psychic intel you receive!

Use it and new doors will open!

Omen to look out for - Judgement

Look out the number 20 or repeats of it (maybe in year format i.e. 2025).

Look out for mirrors, reflective surfaces that show you clearly or in a flattering light.

Look out for descriptions of you, your star sign maybe, or personality type that really resonate.

If you notice one of these omens then you are being told to update and upgrade your self image.

You are more powerful, beautiful, smart, and talented than you currently think.

Get up to speed on your magnificence!

Leo

Step into your power, Leo - this month, your creativity and confidence light the way to exciting new beginnings.

You feel empowered to make those big decisions

Love & Relationships - Two of Wands

You are always popular and in demand, both in friendships, family circles, and romance.

It’s time for you to know and act on the relationship priorities that you most value and wish to serve or build.

Know your inner circle, your key folk, and treat them as such.

Don’t get distracted or taken offline by new projects or faces.

Show loyalty and commitment and it will be returned tenfold, because you ARE loved.

Work & Purpose - Knight of Coins

August, despite being holiday season, might feel like hard work for you but the rewards will all be worthwhile so keep your nose to the grindstone... and then celebrate when the job is done, you’ll feel all the better for it.

Be determined and diligent in your efforts, whether this is related to career tasks, education or personal projects.

It will be demanding, but it will also be rewarding, and that’s a happy balance.

Omen to look out for - King of Cups

Look for dreams about love and romance, and notice WHO you’re dreaming about and how you feel.

Look for instant sparks and attractions with strangers.

Look out for chance encounters with someone you’re immediately fascinated by.

If you notice one of these omens you could be meeting or about to (re)connect with your future soul mate!

If you’re single (even if you’re not...) this could be IT!

Virgo

Justice, closure, and a second chance you didn’t see coming - Virgo, it’s time to reset.

Three tarot cards: Justice, Four of Cups, and Eight of Cups, arranged with a sun carving and decorative elements.
Green lights all round to go for your dreams!

Love & Relationships - Justice

Play fair, be nice, stay on the straight and narrow, but don’t sacrifice yourself or your desires and needs to keep the peace either.

Balance is what is needed.

Maybe you’ve been ridden over too many times, maybe you’ve crossed lines you shouldn’t have.

Be honest and admit where there have been injustices in your close relationships recently.

What can you learn here? What could you change?

If you’re single, a beautiful Libran soul will enter your realm and perfectly suite in with your lifestyle.

Work & Purpose - Four of Cups

I think you feel a little complacent, maybe even bored or tired of your role or projects.

This happens.

We get a bit burnt out, we hit a wall, we need a change.

Use August as a refresher month.

See things with new eyes, get a fresh take on stuff, take a break and return with clear vision and a rested mindset.

If you can get away and take a complete break, then do.

You are renewing and restoring your energies.

Omen to look out for - Eight of Cups

Look for the number 8, or repeats of it.

Look for second chances, repeats, reruns, reinventions of old ideas in new guises.

Look out for memories or echoes of situations where you missed out on something but, maybe just maybe, it was for the best in hindsight.

If you notice any of these omens then you’re being given a chance.

Libra

Solitude, strategy, and a smart plan forward - Libra, this is your long game era.

You have everything you need; now make it work for you

Love & Relationships - The Hemit

Solitude is a great healer and restorer. A little absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Giving someone the gift of missing you is often enough to reset the dynamic and return that loving feeling.

Don’t be scared to withdraw and get some peace and quiet, don’t be nervous of creating a boundary.

The Hermit hints you need space.

You need solitude so you can think (and so can they...).

Work & Purpose - King of Swords

It’s a good month to make a 10 (or 5) year plan!

What’s the goal, the key objective? What’s the strategy to achieve it? What are the tactics and timescale?

The King of Swords brings precise thought, clarity, inspiration, and innovation to your realm, helping you future proof and create shrewd plans of attack to get where you want to be- wherever that is!

This is a planning and research month.

Omen to look out for - Five of wands

Look for the number 5 or repeats of it.

Look for the feeling of frustration and resentment, sit with it, and notice who or what it sticks to.

Look out for situations where you feel stuck / overwhelmed / done to / stagnated.

If you see any of these signs, then you’re being shown first things first, the places you’ve outgrown and can immediately withdraw from.

Act on this insight.

Scorpio

Challenge accepted - Scorpio, this month you win, lead, and love on your own terms.

Three tarot cards, Seven of Wands, Ten of Coins, and Ten of Wands, arranged on a purple surface with crystals and decorative elements.
A breakthrough is coming

Love & Relationships - Seven of Wands

There is competitive energy in your relationship realm, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Sometimes it serves to be tested or tempted or offered a challenge which helps you rise to the occasion!

Look out for people who inspire new ideas or energy in your love life or friendships.

Look out for sparky Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) who motivate you to BE different.

Maybe this August’s love life move is to set your own goal or target and MAKE it happen!

Work & Purpose - Ten of Coins

If I said it would ALL be alright in the end and you’re destined for riches no matter what, then what power move would you confidently make?

Perhaps THAT is the step you’re destined to take this August.

The Ten of Coins promises a career and wealth happy ever after, as long as you stick to the plan and deliver consistently against it.

Be measured, well paced, and keep showing up, and people will believe in you, invest in you, and help you get where you want to go.

Respect is earned over time.

Omen to look out for - Ten of Wands

Look for the number 10 or combinations of it.

Look out for thins which have deflated, wilted, melted, or withered.

Notice places which look invitingly relaxing and comforting. Notice safe sanctuaries and rest zones.

If you notice one of these omens then you’re being invited to activate a phase of deep rest and hibernation- maybe for a hour, maybe for a weekend- you decide.

Rest is restorative right now.

Sagittarius

Work & Purpose - Three of Cups

Wouldn’t it be great if work felt like play?

That is their business, not your business.
