Bruja Tarotscopes: August Tarot Horoscopes For Every Zodiac Sign
:upscale()/2025/07/24/654/n/1922441/e7b4fdda6882467723fbd8.82533143_.jpg)
This month, we're celebrating because Mercury turns direct on Aug. 11 — just two days after the full moon in Aquarius on Aug. 9. August feels lighter, cosmically speaking, as Mercury — the planet of communication — wraps up its retrograde, bringing some much-needed clarity and reprieve to this summer's intense retrograde season.
The Aquarius full moon, which starts off the month, is making a harsh square to the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, allowing you to assess relationships with money, personal values, and morals that have created friction in your inner worlds. However, it's also allowing you to create new timelines that center on healthy boundaries around indulgence — which is often associated with poor self-worth — by trading it for better self-regulation.
The Aug. 23 Virgo new moon will be sitting at zero degrees, creating a rare situation. Planets at zero degrees are powerful and don't allow themselves to be easily influenced by other planetary transits. This equates to the new moon being in the sign of Virgo, which is associated with purity and virginity. Meaning, it asks us to assess how we are being authentic and raw with ourselves, and in what ways we are being performative and self-shaming to appease the patriarchy. Try writing prompts, meditating, and doing mirror work as magic rituals for this new moon. This will help you unlock a higher perspective.
Now, what does your tarotscope have in store for you? Tarotscopes merge the divination tools of tarot and astrology horoscopes based on your zodiac sign to provide you with a magical fusion of forecasting. Read on for your sun and rising signs to understand how August's tarot reading will influence you.
Tarot Card of the Month: 9 of Wands
The overall tarot card pull for the general collective is the Nine of Wands. This card carries the motto of "onward and upward"; it's a card of prevailing and perseverance. August reminds you of all that you've been through. You can reflect on your efforts and take pride in your journey; you are learning how to turn lemons into lemonade. However, it's not a month limited to challenges. It also provides you with the resilience to set your intentions toward big dreams.

August presents an opportunity for you to reassess what feels good and explore ways to create more moments of peace and tranquility, allowing you to recuperate. You could feel physically lethargic thanks to this energy. Rest is healing.

You are viewing your life and the world around you through a different lens, one that is mature and rooted in spiritualism rather than self-sacrifice.
