Weekly Overview: August 11 – 17, 2025
This week’s tarot horoscopes reveal a period of introspection. Although Mercury retrograde ends this Monday, the cards advise keeping your thoughts, feelings, and ideas private for now. The Sun remains in Leo until August 22, influencing the month’s energy. The North Node stays retrograde throughout August, guiding us to focus on spiritual matters connected to self-care, health, and mental wellness. Saturn and Pluto are also retrograde, encouraging inner work and shifting social priorities. Pluto’s retrograde suggests friendships may take a lower priority, with less social media engagement and more in-person activity due to the Saturn-Pluto retrograde conjunction. The Moon’s movement from Pisces to Gemini signals a week of self-reflection and prioritizing personal needs. The universal tarot card for all signs is The Hierophant reversed, highlighting a focus on inner spiritual and philosophical growth while avoiding premature external discussions.
