Find out the one-card tarot horoscope for your zodiac sign on August 9, 2024.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Tarot card: The Tower
Life can surprise you, Aries. Sometimes you don’t know you’re passionate about something until it happens. Today you might find yourself interested in a topic or project that’s outside your comfort zone, and that could bring chaos into your daily routine.
Don’t worry about things you can’t control. If you decide to embark on this new journey, the details will work themselves out along the way.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Tarot card: Justice
You want everyone to be treated fairly, but you know it’s difficult for people to have the same experiences as others. Even if you can treat every person in your life with the same care and attention, their experience is unique. This is a warning for you, Taurus.
Take things as they come. Accept that some people don’t like what you do and others think you’re great. Don’t take criticism personally. Focus on your suggestions. Leave the rest out.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Tarot card: The Emperor
You can be intimidating, even if you don’t mean to be. Your strength can make others see you as forceful. Don’t pretend to be someone you are to assuage others’ fears.
Instead, show yourself as a gentle giant or the type of person who is strong when it counts and gentle and kind when it is needed.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Tarot card: Judgement
You are at a crossroads, a fork in the road that can be both exciting and frightening. You have to make an important decision: which path to take.
You won’t know the outcome until you get there, but what situation feels right for you right now? What are you hoping to experience? Choose from your heart. Let it guide you.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Tarot card: The Magician
You have so many wonderful qualities, talents, and abilities. Knowing which tools from your metaphorical toolbox to use can be daunting, especially if you’re trying to become a parent.
You may want to seek advice from others. Reach out to friends, family, or mentors you trust. They can share their experiences with you or help you analyze your situation and figure out what’s best for you.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Tarot card: Death
Endings can be sad, but closing a chapter in your life means opening a new page in your book. Every day you say goodbye to an experience and become wiser, stronger and more relaxed for it.
Today you will discover who you are and what you want from life. With this knowledge, you can decide what to say no to and what to accept. Instead of getting angry about the changes, focus on the joy you will experience by trying something new.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Tarot card: The High Priestess
You’re in luck, Libra! You’ll meet someone special who has all the beautiful qualities and characteristics you admire. This person could become one of your best friends. This is a time to socialize. Go out and have fun. You never know who you’ll meet.
Scorpio (October 23rd – November 21st)
Tarot card: The Chariot
Ask for what you want, Scorpio. When it comes to success, you might be surprised at how easy it is to pop up on a boss’s radar as a potential candidate for a job, a promotion, or a responsible role. Be open about your career ambitions. When you let people know what you want more of in your career, they’ll think of you when the opportunity arises.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Tarot card: The Hanged Man
Are you putting parts of your life on hold? It seems polite to wait for a friend before making plans with someone else, but sometimes you can’t wait. You have to put yourself first. You may want to be there for a friend, but not to your detriment. If you’d rather not do something, say no. Explain an alternative and it will be easier to say no.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Tarot card: The World
Say thank you, Capricorn, and remember what makes you happy. Happiness can be created or manifested because you are destined to be where you are in this moment. Count your blessings today, both big and small. Showing gratitude helps you remember what is most important in life.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Tarot card: The Empress
You easily feel maternal, perhaps even overprotective, of the people in your life. This can be a wonderful asset for friends who need a role model or someone to look out for their interests. Be careful not to be insensitive to other people’s feelings, even when you’re pretending to do good.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Tarot card: Wheel of Fortune
Pay attention to numbers and things the universe uses to speak to you, like a song on the radio or a conversation with a friend on the way to work. Even in moments when you are working on quality, your inner voice is speaking to help you decipher what you need to know.
