Your star sign's tarot card reading for the week ending 22nd June wants you to work on your important goals
Mars moves into Virgo this week until August, which nudges us all to bring practical thinking, precision, and organisational prowess to our big rocks and goals. Cancer season starts too and a rarely-discussed aspect of this sign is that they're Cardinal (aka born at the start of a new season - in this case, summer), which makes them strong initiators. Put together with this week's card, The World, and I think this is a week to not only activate an important goal or mission, but to make mega powerful progress on it too, come hell or high water. Dig in, grit your teeth, push hard, and take the necessary steps to get this ball rolling, and rolling fast! Head towards your most heartfelt ambition, with purpose and intent, because you can move mountains this week!
The Star is such a magical card, it's like receiving a cosmic wish pass from the Universe, granting you a dream come true. Don't waste it on something trivial or easy. Think about what you most daydream of, what you fantasise about, what you'd love to happen if you could wave a wand. And then make overt steps in this dream's direction. I promise that magical, unexpected, serendipitous, and inspiring events will unfold to conspire to help you. Anything is possible this week, Aries.
You feel like your mind is whirring this week and churning out all kinds of random, useful, unwelcome, weird, creative, madcap, and positive ideas and scenarios. It's a little overwhelming. Taurus, use your tools to help cut this all down to size. Write it all down. Prioritize. When an idea keeps spiraling or repeating, tell yourself you're already on it, and forcibly block it from popping up! Talk to a friend, the mirror, or yourself about what's running through your brain, like a commentator. Tame the content, use the content, direct the content. Feel calmer.
People underestimate just how moral and ethical Geminis actually are! We get a bad rep sometimes, unfairly so, because we are fundamentally kind and helpful, eager to help everyone succeed. The "other twin" emerges when we've already been wronged.Gemini, someone may've wronged you recently and maybe that 'other twin' is itching for some vengeful or mischievous action. I know it's tempting. But don't engage in it.Play fair, play nice, give them the benefit of the doubt, let them off the hook. I'm not saying put yourself back in the line of fire, in fact you should withdraw, but just don't go meddling or making chaos for them. I promise karma will sort it out anyway. You do you. You're bigger and better than petty feuds.
Whatever you've recently felt let down by, please don't spend another minute on it. Move on and let it fade into your distant past. Why? Because the Eight of Cups promises that MUCH better is just around the corner and the demise of this lost opportunity was really about clearing it OUT of your way so you could get to the god stuff. This week will bring surprises, good news, unexpected offers, and second chances. Get ready!
You are a playful little pussy cat when you're in a good mood and the Six of Cups brings happy vibes, nostalgic reunions, and affectionate energy to your lion's den this week. Enjoy! Take a clean slate with friends and family and wipe off any old soul debts or imbalances. Start fresh. It's as much a burden on you, as them, to carry around blame or anger or resentment. Let it go and do something fun and interesting together. The good energy you'll create will lift all ships, because you ARE the rising tide. Bring the good vibes and reset the mood.
If ever a sign could scupper their chances of success before making one single move, then it's you, Virgo, which is a long-winded way of saying you can be your own worst enemy. It's your own self doubt that does it. That inner judge / critic who pulls apart your ideas and confidence to execute them. The Page of Swords asks you to consciously and forcefully shut this voice UP. You are going to make a bold leap into the unknown and start something exciting, and you don't need this kind of sabotaging dialogue in your mind as you do so. Say affirmations, drown it out with music, keep busy, talk to upbeat friends. Get on and do what you got planned. It WILL be successful.
Happy days all week long for you, Libra, because The Sun is the tarot's happiest card and blesses everything in your life with literal cosmic sunshine and lollipops! Blissful relationships, new romance, ambitious plans being landed, new options and opportunities arising, projects coming to a successful fruition, unexpected and inspiring invitations. You're in demand and in the midst of what's cooking, so you can't fail to land the hottest, best, and brightest opportunities. Look out for exciting Leo folk in love, work, and friendship. Together, you can make magic!
Ready for a spooky kinda' week, Scorpio? Of course you are, you were born ready for spookiness! The High Priestess activates a spiritual awakening in your psyche. Heightened sensitivity, interest in the unknown, new insights bubbling up from someplace deep within, a curiosity about the occult and what rituals, arts, or practices might suit your nature. Go full woo woo. I can tell you that your Pluto ruler and Water element suggest you might possess skills in or around empathy, clairvoyance, and telepathy. Scrying and tarot cards might help you turn feelings into messages.
Jupiter is always looking out for you, Sag, and you're often the envy of others because you always seem to land on your feet and come up (from whatever depths you've been to…) smelling of roses. The Ten of Pentacles gifts you with resources and riches once again, but the trick here is to invest them wisely, and the guiding light is to think long term. Look ahead. What's important to you? What ideals or goals do you have around your health, wealth, work, and home? Now's the time to use what you already have to make these areas even stronger, brighter, more secure in the future. Speculate to accumulate.
The Queen of Wands brings adventure and fun into your life this week and she's giving you full permission to focus on enjoying yourself, so take a welcome break! You work harder than almost anyone else. You are a serious character. But, underneath that ambition and stoicism, beats the heart of a romantic, a playful and very funny soul, and a curious child. Let these versions of you lead the way this week, let them pursue whatever fancy quest seems most appealing. Push aside chores, duty, and commitment. Others can wait! You are ready to step out of the rat race and simply enjoy yourself.
Chuck all your best laid plans out of the window Aquarius because the Three of Wands reveals your best path ahead lies on the uncharted, unexpected, and unplanned territories that you've yet to even notice. Step off the well trodden track. Coincidence, omens, serendipitous events, and de ja vu will guide you. Tune in to the unseen forces that swirl and caress you. Align yourself with what is actually in front of you rather than what you had planned or hoped for. When you work with what's there (vs what should be there) you will find success and traction.
Education is the main theme for you this week. The Page of Pentacles is the tarot's lifelong student and shows up when we need to take on board new knowledge or skills. Whether this manifests as formal or informal studies is not important. What is important is that what you learn can be immediately applied to your everyday life and help you to progress- be that in home, health, wealth, or career. Learning opens doors. Education raises your potential and vibration. Studying creates discipline. Pursue excellence and rise!

Virgo Season Is Here — & It's Coming In Hot
The last month of summer is a spectacle. From retrogrades to eclipses, we are leveling up our power and proving that mindfulness and pragmatism are the only useful ways in which to handle matters. We'll be golden as long as we don't second guess our initial responses and use our wits to get us through maddening situations. The days between August 22nd and September 22nd are coming in hot, so grab the SPF and prepare to ring in the next month with passion, flair, criticism, compassion, and perfectionism. What a mix! Before we dive deep into the astrology of Virgo season, it's important to note that the earth sign gives excellent advice and is a loyal friend. You can always count on this throughout the upcoming weeks when times get tough. Understanding that help is on the way is an essential lesson that we all need to acknowledge, since we can also get a little stubborn during this period. If you need a helping hand, reach out to a friend, family member, or loved one, and they'll be eager to assist, even though we might be prideful. Therefore, reciprocation is a must. It's essential to match the energy others provide you with (and vice versa) to keep the good vibes going and flowing. Overthinking is another thing we should watch out for. Virgos are known for their analytical skills, but can be prone to taking the analysis a little too far and ruminating over matters. The Mercurial sign tends to replay situations and conversations, giving others the chance to live rent-free in our heads, so we need to check ourselves when we go down the rabbit hole. This obsessiveness isn't coming from a bad place. We'll want to do good by people and be the best versions of ourselves, which can lead to us trying to be correct and careful in our words and trying hard not to upset anyone. However, we'll also be offended if people don't adhere to the rules we've set for ourselves. The patient and hardworking earth sign allows us to organize and prepare for the upcoming season. As a result, we'll be hyper-focused on restructuring our lives. Making small moves toward progress will enable us to evolve at our own pace. To do so, meditating on The Hermit (the tarot card associated with Virgo) will clarify what we wish to draw into our aura. Since Virgo is pure of heart, we can connect with our true essence to assess what we need. However, the planets are also stirring up some trouble, testing our calm demeanor. The total lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7th urges us to commit to another. The solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21st allows us to celebrate ourselves. Putting ourselves first is necessary at this time. We are the ones who can design our future. Taking stock of what is important and what is not is a great way to kick off the transcendent energy. Beyond eclipses, Uranus commences its yearly retrograde in Gemini on September 6th. The erratic and rebellious planet will re-enter Taurus, returning to the end of June and early July. Revisiting this timeline means we have another chance to replay situations, work them out and try for a better outcome. Austere Saturn, also retrograde, jumps back into Pisces on September 1st, asking us to deal with the residual drama from the beginning to mid-May. And, yes, exes will resurface bizarrely during these planetary moonwalks. Important Astrological Dates: August 22nd: The sun enters Virgo, bringing forth kindness and empathy. August 23rd: The New Moon in Virgo allows us to reach our goals. August 25th: Venus enters Leo, spicing up romantic matters. September 1st: Saturn re-enters Pisces, pushing us to create boundaries. September 2nd: Mercury moves into Virgo, making communication concise. September 6th: Uranus Retrograde In Gemini begins, redefining our views and ideology. September 7th: The total lunar eclipse in Pisces gets us one step closer to our goals and dreams. September 18th: Mercury finds a middle ground Libra, balancing out the way we express ourselves. September 19th: Venus walks into Virgo, helping us find a realistic perspective to matters of love. September 21st: The solar eclipse in Virgo is an inspiring moment of determination and motivation.

Daily Horoscope for August 19, 2025
General Daily Insight for August 19, 2025 A moody and touchy vibe could leave us unsure where to tread. When the emotional Cancer Moon clashes with impatient Mars, claiming that we've followed the rules might not be enough to prevent hurt feelings. Still, as the warm Sun trines wise Chiron at 1:29 pm EDT, resolution may ultimately come from whatever conflicts burst onto the scene — which are likely about much more than their initial provocations. The Moon goes on to conjoin abundant Jupiter, adding to the potential for optimism. Aries March 21 – April 19 Sharing about an insecurity today could make it less intimidating. Choose your audience carefully — not everyone is equipped to hear you out and provide the validation you crave. Don't worry — as the vibrant Sun in your 5th House of Self-Expression collaborates with tender Chiron in your sign, some will potentially find your experiences relatable. They could have similar worries to share. Although your particular spin on suffering has unique qualities, you're not totally alone. Let that supply the perspective you need. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Retreating from an interaction that isn't going anywhere productive may be a wise move at present. While the volatile Moon in your verbal 3rd house spars with combative Mars in your 6th House of Daily Routines, perhaps someone is only bickering with you because the two of you are getting in each other's way. Don't jump to interpreting the conflict as anything more significant than that — do what you can to take space. You can check in later to see if any issues remain. Gemini May 21 – June 20 You may feel like you have a little extra money to spare. Your first impulse might be to buy something that all your friends have so you can fit in with them. Before splashing out, let this draw attention to any insecurities that you could address. While the illuminating Sun in your communication sector supports sensitive Chiron in your social zone, talking or journaling out your concerns could clarify your priorities. If you still make the purchase, at least you'll know why you're doing it! Cancer June 21 – July 22 Being grateful for the resources you have could shift your perspective today. While the vital Sun in your finance zone eases touchy Chiron in your 10th House of Career, you may be dealing with angst over having a career that somehow doesn't measure up to whatever you were raised to expect. That can be hard, whether or not anyone is directly commenting on it now. If you have enough money to meet your needs, though, that ought to count for something! Leo July 23 – August 22 Being yourself can help you transcend almost any ongoing cultural differences. Yes, certain forces have shaped you, but you are more than that — and so is everyone else you interact with! As the primal Moon in your secretive 12th house starts a debate with clumsy Mars in your communication realm, some hidden sensitivities could be revealed in the course of your conversations. If that happens, simply address the offenses as they emerge, and then move on without dwelling on them excessively. Virgo August 23 – September 22 A direct confrontation could seem unappealing at this time. However, allowing friends to weigh in on a personal drama of yours risks amping up the conflict, even if it results in more people rallying to your side. While the powerful Sun in your secluded 12th house aligns with healing Chiron in your intimacy zone, you're better off trying to work things out in private. Although that probably feels unpleasantly vulnerable to you, consider that your opponent may be in the same boat. Libra September 23 – October 22 You may presently find that you're unable to nurture others in the way they expect and still accomplish what genuinely needs to happen. Maybe you're coming down harder on yourself than you need to, though. As the good-natured Sun in your social sector supports angsty Chiron in your relationship zone, you should talk to someone you trust for a reality check. You can't make everyone happy — and whatever it is, you're probably not the only person who has ever dealt with this challenge. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Shedding your resentment over a frustrating work or health situation may now be an option. As the vivacious Sun in your goal-oriented 10th house engages with wounded Chiron in your 6th House of Responsibilities, you might be able to see how your suffering brought you closer to finding your life purpose. Of course, you shouldn't be required to put on a smile concerning whatever happened. Being happy about the good parts and sad about the bad parts is acceptable as an honest answer. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 Putting a personal wound in a bigger context could take away part of its power. While the clarifying Sun in your philosophical 9th house checks in with cranky Chiron in your self-expression sector, you may realize that you're not the only one who grew up with certain unhelpful inhibitions. It's more likely that cultural norms came down hard on pretty much everyone in that regard. Some people might not be ready to open this door, though, so be careful who you confide in. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Doing something significant all by yourself could seem important today. Under the circumstances, you might be rubbed the wrong way by someone else's efforts to help — their purported love for you may feel more stifling and controlling. As the forward-moving Sun in your intimacy sector interacts with entrenched Chiron in your 4th House of Roots, you'd probably benefit from looking critically at a belief you took on in your childhood. Your current relationship dynamic isn't necessarily the same as the one that shaped you. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Raising your concerns in a social connection may seem crucial right now. You're probably not just complaining for no reason — it's likely that you genuinely care about improving your connection. Even so, as the attentive Moon in your detail-oriented 6th house agitates pushy Mars in your legalistic 9th house, you might find it hard to discern which issues truly warrant a confrontation. Nitpicking will quickly wear out your companion's patience. Stick to the most important grievances, and leave the petty complaints out of it! Pisces February 19 – March 20 Your financial status might have you worried at the moment. While the impulsive Moon in your speculative 5th house goads brazen Mars in your 8th House of Big Money, a risky investment scheme may be appealing. Through the lens of desperation, however, you'll potentially struggle to get a clear view of the important details. You're better off finding out how far you can get with your own honest efforts to increase your earnings. A positive result could really lift your sense of self-worth!

Your horoscope for the week ending 24th August is asking for careful decision making
Dreams can come true this week, so be careful what you wish for! Mercury in Leo harmonises with Mars in Libra on 18th August, making us more aware of our emotions. It's important to be mindful of tonality because it can create issues that affect dynamics. The Sun enters Virgo on 22nd August, allowing us to be concise and deliberate in our actions. The following day, the Black Moon in Virgo (the third New Moon in a season of four New Moons) brings power and energy to our visions. This is a potent time to manifest and assert our hopes and goals for the future into the universe. At times, you can be loud and boastful. However, in the days ahead, you are swapping your bravado and attitude for a more refined state of being. This means substituting mindfulness for drama and contemplation for impulsivity. Staying in your lane will be difficult, but you will relish the quietness. Focusing on one task is the way to ensure you finish everything on your to-do list. With your mind running fast, you shouldn't take on more than you can handle. Be aware of your limits and try not to overextend yourself. Once you take on matters, you'll be energetically lighter. Hustling all day is exhausting, especially when the volume of assignments is piling up. To be real, you need to escape the noise and bustle of life. Consider visiting your family or a place no one will find you to decompress from social media and madness at the office. Being thirsty for a response from your crush or ex doesn't win them over. To get the attention and affection you're craving, leave them on read to make a statement. The less you respond, the more of a splash you'll make. They won't like it when you flip the narrative. Even though you're putting your best foot forward to push down the jealousy you're feeling, it isn't easy. No rebrand can keep your emotions from being seen — the only way to deal with your sentiments is to admit them to yourself and others. Honesty is always the best policy. With your solar return in gear, planning your birthday celebration will be fun. The only foreseeable issue stems from the invitation list of both naughty and nice people. Perhaps a mixture of each attendee will make for a wonderfully spicy and decadent party. You just have to pick a theme. You're always down for a good time, but you must set a curfew and get beauty rest because work requires you to give 100% of your energy. Keep it cute at happy hour with one or two 'tinis. Save the hard shots for the weekend when you can sleep in. Plotting the end of summer bash for your family and crew isn't going as swimmingly as you'd think. You're wanting a big soirée and everyone prefers a low-key vibe. You can have haute cuisine in bathing suits if you choose — you're the one making the rules, so go for it! Issues at the office are spilling into your personal life. The reason being is that you're overstating stories and information from both parts of your worlds. Maintaining boundaries between them is vital to ensure you don't have to yap or fill in the blanks about the aspects of these entities. Being independent doesn't mean having to be tough 24/7 when you're sad. If you're needing comfort, call up a close friend and have a sleepover (like you did in junior high school). Share secrets, order a pizza, and watch old rom coms. Time with your BFF will boost your spirits. As much as you want to, it isn't your job to rationalise other people's actions. Rather than justifying their feelings, own yours. You don't need anyone gaslighting you and making you question the facts of a situation. Never let anyone dim your light or mess with your peace of mind. There has been a lack of consistency in your ship. The cosmos are urging you to step up and express your sentiments. If you have anything that needs to get off your chest about the direction of your partnership, speak up. It will form a healthier connection between you both.
