Weekly Tarotscopes by the Tarot Priestess(16th August- 22nd August)

By Mahasweta Mazumder

Aries (March 21 - April 20):

You may have never encountered a wiser woman than the High Priestess. And, like all the smartest individuals in your life, she keeps her secrets close to her heart. The tarot card serves as a reminder that in order to know yourself, you must tune out the noise and look within. You have all the intuition you need to make life's most important decisions. The High Priestess challenges you, asking you to discover the truth of your innermost aspirations.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21):

Your card of the week is the Devil, which represents addiction, power, and control. The Devil wishes to provide your greedy heart with all that it craves: gluttony, fame, money, flattery, and quick pleasure. It is critical to be attentive and to examine your personal excesses. Excessive amounts of anything, even the wonderful stuff, become poisonous. And the Devil enjoys going overboard. Take into account any dominating habits or thinking processes that result in bad actions.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21):

This week, you're investigating the sources of authority and control in your life: Analyze where you feel like you're being bossed around and where you feel like you're the boss. The Emperor demonstrates that some of these dynamics must be altered. Step one: Determine the source of the imbalance. Step two: Seek change while also changing your own behavior. Step up and take charge—this is an inspiring week for you.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22):

Your weekly card is the Page of Pentacles. She's a bright, sparkling student who enjoys learning. Put yourself first by putting your efforts into education. This is an excellent time to return to school at any level. Finish the course. Allow yourself to be curious. Get out of your own head by immersing yourself in a fascinating subject.

Leo (July 23 - August 23):

This week's energy is playful, so embrace your inner child. Take part in things that make you feel like you're having fun. The Page of Wands is the Tarot's perpetual wanderer. Make a travel plan. Go to an amusement park. Go somewhere enjoyable. Buy something interesting for your home. Spend time with the children in your life. This is an excellent time to reconnect with an old acquaintance or pursue a new activity. You'll appreciate being able to pick up where you left off.

Virgo (August 24 - September 22):

This card evokes a sense of unity, mutual support, encouragement, and collaboration.  It may also be termed "sisterhood," true mutual respect, and is often shown as three women enjoying their connectedness in a dance with elevated cups. It emphasizes all of the advantages of a harmonious relationship.

Libra (September 23 - October 23):

The Seven of Wands indicates standing up for what you believe in and remaining firm in your convictions. When others put you in a position to defend your case, you rise to the occasion. You are adamant about your principles and aspirations, and you are not afraid to stand up for them. You are unconcerned about upsetting anybody, nor are you concerned about what others may think of you. The Seven of Wands provides a clear message: don't compromise your views and opinions to make others feel more at ease or to avoid an argument.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22):

The Seven of Pentacles represents a crossroad. You've worked hard, things are growing well, and it appears like there will be a good harvest. Congratulations! This is an occasion to be proud of. There is still work to be done before the fruit is ready, but getting this far is an accomplishment. It's also an opportunity to hit the pause button for a few seconds. Take a break from your work and examine what comes next. This might be a turning point, or it could not. It may be time to change course, adapt your strategy, or simply make some little adjustments.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21):

The Two of Cups is the card that represents true love. This Tarot card foretells only positive connections. When you receive the Two of Cups, you can bet that you will be thinking about personal connections. Your knight in shining armor is on his way to you. It might also symbolize great friends who are set to play a significant role in your life. These friends will be a beneficial influence and will wish to work together with you.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20):

It indicates that you are focused on the negative. Perhaps you have lately lost your job, and you are struggling to cope. When we lose something we care about, it can be difficult to find the bright side. We allow ourselves to be overtaken by the grief, regret, and loneliness that an event like this brings. However, if you take the time to look around, you will notice that this event has many good elements. Your family will unite around you in love and support.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18):

This energy is where discipline, dedication, and entrepreneurship meet. It is steadfast and sturdy as a united front. The King of Pentacles represents a generous and steady person who can be counted on to be consistent.   Wealth and security reign supreme. Believe in the path that is unfolding in front of you.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20):

The Nine of Swords is a card that depicts self-defeating behavior. It denotes profound sadness, worry, being overwhelmed, and burdened.   You may possibly believe that there isn't much you can do to improve your condition. This is not true. If you want to be liberated from this, you must first look in the mirror. Are your life's issues really as severe as they appear? The tarot card Nine of Swords has come to warn you that you may be wearing a victim's cloak.
