The Weekly Tarot Horoscope For August 10 - 16 Has A Message For Your Zodiac Sign
Design: YourTango | Photo: SHOTPRIME, Canva Weekly tarot horoscopes are here for August 10 - 16, 2026, with the Empress card coming out as this week’s main energy. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 12 puts a spotlight on each zodiac sign's divine role and gifts.
We will simply not be able to hide our glow-ups or deny the responsibility that aligns with our personal power this week. Not only are we encouraged to show off, but by doing so, we are reminded that by doing so, how we look is evidence that hard work pays off. This week, especially with Mars and Ceres moving into Cancer energy (on August 11th and 12th, respectively), we are a glowing example of how being self-aware and having a big heart makes you an inspiration to all.

This week's tarot card for Aries: The Empress, reversed
You’ve been second-guessing yourself or your actions lately, needing outside validation. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo on the 12th restores that fiery self-confidence you’re so well-known for, Aries.
You don’t need anyone’s permission to shine or do what you do best, but you do need to do your best. It’s when you know you’re not living up to your potential that you start doubting yourself.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

This is the week that everything finally makes sense, Taurus. Everything you’ve been through is proven to not only be beneficial but necessary to your growth and current position.
After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? You are living proof of that, and thanks to the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo on the 12th, you will wear that journey with pride.

This week's tarot card for Gemini: Four of Wands, reversed
If dance like no one is watching were a person, you would be the poster child this week. You have a lot to celebrate, Gemini, but you’ve been keeping it to yourself for some reason. But on August 12th, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo combined with Ceres shifting into Cancer energy permits you to celebrate out loud.
You deserve to pat yourself on the back. You worked hard for this, and now that everyone can see your efforts weren’t in vain, you want to shout it out from the rooftops (as you should)!
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

This week's tarot card for Cancer: Five of Wands
This week, you sense that someone wants to challenge you. And you’re not wrong. This inner knowing and heightened awareness have you on the defensive. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re overthinking or exaggerating, Cancer.
Thanks to Sunday’s Waxing Crescent Moon in Libra, you’ll have a better handle on your emotions and be able to explain your feelings and avoid the uncomfortable tension being carried into next week.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)

This week's tarot card for Leo: The Lovers, reversed
You were trying to give peace a chance, but thanks to the New Moon Solar Eclipse in your energy on the 12th, you can see and confidently admit that you are the best option.
You’re not settling or making nice anymore, because you know you deserve better. By Friday, August 14, you’ll make your intentions known and set your standards under the Waxing Crescent Moon in Virgo.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

This week's tarot card for Virgo: Four of Cups
Three astrological bodies (Waning Crescent Moon, Mars, and Ceres) shifting into Cancer energy early in the week causes you to pay close attention to the people or places you consider to be a safe space. There have been some questionable actions or comments, and you know better than to ignore them.
It won’t send your anxiety into overdrive because you already knew this was coming, but it will force you to make the necessary changes you were trying to avoid.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)

This week's tarot card for Libra: Tower
Oh, Libra, you are ready to shake things up this week! Your Cardinal energy is abundant (thanks to Moon, Mars, and Ceres in Cancer, Juno Retrograde in Capricorn, and Moon in Libra), so you can’t help but want to start something new.
Interestingly enough, this isn’t what urges you to make a big move. It is not until the Waxing Crescent Moon shifts from Leo to Virgo on Thursday that you really get the urge to put your plans into motion.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

This week's tarot card for Scorpio: Seven of Pentacles, reversed
This week begins with you reflecting on the efforts you’ve made to best manage a relationship you once believed was fated or destiny, Scorpio.
When Juno goes retrograde in Capricorn and Mars moves into Cancer on Tuesday, August 11, you understand the importance of self-protection. You're not selfish for wanting to prioritize your comfort, so don't let anyone try to make you feel that way.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

This week's tarot card for Sagittarius: Nine of Wands
Sagittarius, there is a focus on your life journey this week. Every day is a winding road, and the Nine of Wands indicates that the path you've traveled certainly hasn't been entirely easy.
But you are finally happy with where you are. Though you of course have plans to go further and do more, you feel the most appreciation for your journey when the Waxing Crescent Moon rises in Virgo on August 14. That just so happens to also be the day when you can see clearly where you should go or what you should do next.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

This week's tarot card for Capricorn: Two of Pentacles, reversed
It’s true, Capricorn. You’re used to being busy. But this card shows that you are a little too overstimulated and juggling too many things this week.
You don’t need to slow down. You couldn’t if you wanted to. But you do need to reprioritize. When the Waxing Crescent Moon moves into Virgo the planner’s energy on Friday the 14th, you’ll be able to get things in order.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

This week's tarot card for Aquarius: Six of Swords
You’re ready to spice things up this week. The Six of Swords shows that it’s because a change is necessary.
The same old same is not working anymore, Aquarius. So, as a result of the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo unlocking a new level within you on August 12, you’re about to show a side of yourself that no one has ever seen before.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You’re in the mood for love this week, Pisces. More importantly, love is the mood for you!
