Your weekly tarot horoscope reading for August 11 to August 17
After weeks of missed signals, mental fog or rehashing old conversations, the planet of communication and clarity is moving forward again. It's time to speak your truth, take the next step and move with intention.
This week's tarot question is: What truth is ready to be spoken or acted on now that Mercury is direct?
Let the cards reveal what's been simmering beneath the surface, and how you can use your voice and power wisely.Looking for more emotive, detailed game-changing insight? Come see me for a reading.
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: Queen of Swords
Meaning: You need space. You want autonomy. You want someone or something to stop breathing down your neck, trying to oversee you or micromanage what you know perfectly well how to deliver.
Space is important, control is vital, freedom to make your own mistakes and learn from them is the end game. Explain this. Act on it. Don't ask for permission, get on and make this work for you.

April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Five of Swords
Meaning: A conflict or simmering tension that has really fractured your mood and wellbeing is ready to be spoken about overtly and honestly. Say it how it is. Explain how you feel and how this has impacted you.
Seek to fully understand their feelings and position too. Then press 'pause' and consider a resolution/compromise/next step. Reconvene to discuss that and hopefully find yourself on the other side of this squall. It can be resolved.

May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: Eight of Cups
Meaning: You are not going to get what you want here. I know that's a bitter pill, but trust me, the Universe is working in mysterious ways to bring you what you need, to deliver an outcome that will take you towards your greater good.
We learn most from setbacks. People respond to vulnerability. Opportunity comes from attention. People respect those who handle adversity with courage and honesty, so be like that, and you will get something even better out of this debacle, trust me.

June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Tower
Meaning: You spend a lot of time absorbing s***, covering up issues, adapting and turning yourself inside out to avoid having to change, confront, or feel pushed outside a comfort zone. All of that ends this week, though, because it's time for you to blow this all up!
Speak up, express yourself, say what needs to stop happening or be ended altogether. Other folk will listen. You have endured this fading, false, negative energy or collapsing situation for long enough, it's time to rip the plaster off, endure a moment of pain, and then move into healing and rebuilding mode. Don't stagger on any longer. End it.

July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Six of Coins
Meaning: This is a moment where you realise things aren't balanced, there's too much take and not enough give, it's one-sided, you're carrying too much of the load or responsibility. And that is not sustainable.
Use your voice to share the truth of this situation and then use your confidence and self-esteem to step back and let stuff fall down. If they won't carry it, why should you? If it can't be carried, maybe it shouldn't be in play at all. Be brave and let things fall apart if necessary. You have been doing too much.

August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: King of Cups
Meaning: You have observed and noticed a loved one struggling or enduring something really tough recently, and you're ready now to offer the help you can see they do clearly need- whether that is practical or simply your presence and attention.
You have strong emotional intelligence, you know how to position this, and what to say in what tone. Bring all those soft skills to bear as you orchestrate a situation where they find it so easy to say yes to your assistance. They need you. Be there.

September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Six of Cups
Meaning: A reunion or rekindling of a loving relationship is on the cards this week, and will be initiated by you. So, who is it that you miss?
Maybe a Water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio), or a childhood friend/family member, an ex… you decide. Ramble around Memory Lane and see where your heart beats fastest. This bond can be repaired and restored, you just need to take the first step this week. Are you ready?

October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Queen of Wands
Meaning: You have been denying yourself a passionate goal or action, and you feel the pressure of this suppression mounting to the point where it's gunna' blow! So, do whatever it is that is stirring you so violently. Get it out of your system.
You are ready to take ownership of this action, and you're the only one answering for how you live your life, so live it how you want to! This could pertain to relationships, travel, creative ideas, lifestyle changes or education.
Head here for everything you need to know about being a Scorpio
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Eight of Swords
Meaning: You've got your assumptions about how someone truly feels about you all wrong. It is not what you think it is. And now you need to clarify, refute, validate, and establish the facts.
You can't carry on projecting your worst fears or self doubt onto other folk in this way, it's self destructive, and also all made up! You don't know what they think, maybe you never will, so who cares. Ask directly. Establish what you need to know, and move on regardless.

December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Nine of Wands
Meaning: Something has gotten out of proportion in your mind, like it's going to be way more awful and difficult than it really is, and you need a 'reality check' conversation with someone practical and shrewd to bring it all back down to Earth!
You are going to get on and face this task or issue in the next two months, you have a bit of time to research and prepare, but ideally you should get going because action will quell all of the angst you're feeling. Jump in and start swimming!

January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week:
Meaning: You want gentler treatment, you want to be protected and looked after, you want, in fact, to be the 'child' vs the adult right now. And that's okay. We all flip roles, we all swing between taking responsibility and wanting someone else to do so for us.
Be overt in what you need, and why. Ask your partner/family/friend for help. Share why this makes you vulnerable. You don't have to be stoic and stiff, you can unwind, collapse a little. Someone once told me 'we are all mush inside', and it's true. Be mush.

February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Seven of Cups
Meaning: All of your wonderful, imaginative ideas are brewing and ready to be taken seriously and worked on. The retrograde made you hesitant, you had other fish to fry, it hasn't been the right moment for activation recently, but now you feel free, in flow, and enthused. More Trending
You want to start things, to invent and innovate, to create and design, to pitch and propose and apply. Breathe life into your fantasies, as many as you can, and make this week all about creativity and manifesting.

Girlfriend shows OTT way her man keeps their belongings safe at the beach & people beg him to try the ‘Balkan method'
SHORE THING Girlfriend shows OTT way her man keeps their belongings safe at the beach & people beg him to try the 'Balkan method' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DAY out at the beach always sounds like a good idea when the sun is out. But when you get there, you realise it isn't as relaxing as you imagined, from trying to dust off sand to making sure your personal belongings are safe. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Fjona shared the OTT measures her boyfriend took to keep their items safe on the beach Credit: TikTok/@fjona_04 2 But many recommended the 'Balkan method' instead Credit: TikTok/@fjona_04 Taking to social media, Fjona revealed she was at the beach with her boyfriend when he came up with a holiday hack to keep their belongings safe so they could go for a swim together. Rather than taking on the usual tactic of asking someone to keep an eye out he decided to bring their items into the ocean. Fjona wrote: "Your boyfriend is an overthinker so you have to put all your stuff in a plastic bag and take it with you while swimming." In the video, we saw them taking a dip in the crowded sea. Next to the couple was a pool float bobbing along, which was holding up the plastic bag with their items. The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @fjona_04 with over 400k likes. But people were quick to offer the pair an easier solution. One commented: "Teach him the Balkan method." The user went on to explain that the 'Balkan method' was to put your items in a bag, dig a hole in the sand and place them there. You then want to cover them slightly before putting your beach towel on top. Shoppers 'need' new suitcase from Primark - it's perfect for EasyJet and there's even a matching £7 flight essential too Another agreed: "What? Everybody knows that the safest place for your money, car keys and other important belongings is under your clothes and/or towel." "Much better than the people that ask others to look after their belongings!! "Imagine going to the beach for a relaxing day and being given a job to do so you can't even have a nap on your sun lounger because you have to be a security guard for someone you don't know," penned a third. Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." Meanwhile a fourth said: "This is such a good idea because this is what puts me off going to the beach as an adult as there's no parent to watch my stuff." "That's genius for solo travellers,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "Wait that's actually a good idea."
