AUGUST 2025 TAROTSCOPES
August 2025 Tarot Spread Clarissa Dolphin Explains It All Tazama African Tarot Deck
Theme for us all:
Knight of Wands and Three of Cups reversed
Joie de vivre and spreading joy are the primary principles for living and the main spiritual directive from the tarot for the month of August. If you are like me and feel like the wider world is a dumpster fire, despite it all, Knight of Wands coupled with Three of Cups reversed brings festivities, joy, delight, love and communion among kinfolk, and strangers too actually. Amidst the worst tragedies, the human spirit finds a way to laugh, smile and sing. This crucial enlivening is what the lords behind the tarot are inviting us to do as we journey through the eighth month in a year that has felt like fiendish eternity.
Aries - Five of Pentacles
Aries, ask for assistance. Seeking help can be really challenging for the Ramsicles of the world at times, but there seems to be something major on your plate that is haunting you and requires helping hands. A thought, communication, memory, project, burnt bridge or idea is lingering under the skin. Eliminate the looming-dooming and pain by soliciting a perspective shift from some trusted aids.
Taurus - Ace of Pentacles reversed
Loss might be an illusion. Obviously, material shortfalls are quantified. If numbers are down, it’s a calculation, it’s not something you made up in your head. However, the illusory part is that it’s not all doom and gloom, there is something more fortuitous down the line than what was lost. Another gainful opportunity is calling to you to be manifested. In the meantime take care of your body and mind. It’s a long game that begs for endurance, but you are likely to see major progress by the end of the year.
Gemini - Empress
Dipping into the fertile gardens of super goddess queens, Gemini, that’s your destination and orientation. Abundance is flowing to you in all directions, love, friendship, career, money, you name it, claim it, it’s yours to cherish in August. This is a directive to do things like pampering and to partake in activities that boost general life enjoyment. Also, allow yourself to be food for eyeballs, your radiance is glowing for all to see and consume.
Cancer - Eight of Cups reversed
Emerging from a depressive state or circumstance is never easy, Cancer, so take care of yourself as you come up for air and relieve these burdensome things weighing on your heart. There is a lot of love in your environment and support available to you, don’t forget that. You just might need to brood in solitude for a little bit as you process and transmogrify the residue of heartbreak. And you don’t need to rush for any opportunities either, you’re not missing anything. Stay steady in the knowledge that the gloriousness meant for you will find its way to you at the perfect time.
Leo - Four of Cups
The fierce over the top Leo that everyone likes to pigeonhole you as is certainly not the persona projecting into the world this month. Sensitivity is high for you, so is intuition. You are picking up on signals and intuiting hidden emotions, as well as portending events that are going to happen in the future. Sudden unexpected shifts in circumstances, boons and a strange turn of events is the name of the game in August. As always, it will work out in your favor.
Virgo - Eight of Wands
OK Virgo, go off! Literally, as in travel and explore the world. This can also be metaphorical, with a directive to pass time in every direction that stimulates you. Wins, romance, spice of life, that’s the name of the game right now. All things fortuitous come to you, in general, but also from engaging in thrill.

Libra - Two of Swords
A major decision needs to be made by your birthday New Moon on October 21st, Libra. In the meantime, ruminate on it, there is literally no rush and all of the information hasn’t revealed itself anyway. Partnership is a huge part of sealing the deal and there will be no good agreement if the other party can’t live up to their end, obviously. Watch and wait for now, see what these players do and continue having conversations.
Scorpio - The Fool
It is high time for you to be able to do whatever you want, Scorpio. Let loose and be free. All pilgrimages and spiritual pursuits are blessed in this time period, so is letting go of oppressive agreements. Channeling from other dimensions is the real deal and you are being led in a specific direction that may be totally irrational, but it is the way. Trust your cosmic direction.
Sagittarius - Knight of Cups
Love and romance is intoxicating and the most fertile course of action to pursue this month, Sagittarius. Relationships are probably sizzling right now, yes, let’s feel the heat, but this is not restricted to relational romance. Inspiration is the hot topic. Make it happen. Dullness has no room here. Travel, take a risk, send love letters and immerse yourself in everything you adore.
Capricorn - The Star
It is time to shine and heal, both. How does one balance healing with beaming? Does radiance and exposure contaminate the healing process? No, not in this case, Capricorn. Water is especially curative, as is meditative spiritual pursuits of all kinds, as is adornment with gorgeous jewels and luminous fabric. Anything that glimmers is something you need to connect with right now. Embrace that fairy vibe and glow.
Aquarius - Queen of Pentacles
Many obligations rest with you, Aquarius, you are the nurturer of all things and you’ve got this. The Queen of Pentacles is blessed, abundant, living in a garden with ripe fruit, beautiful flowers, animals and everything she could possibly need to be whole. You are this character in August, overflowing with capability, abundance, and resources. Go for it, but enjoy your bounty at your own pace, on your own chosen time.
Pisces - The Devil reversed
Horsing around and playing hooky would be amazing, but shirking off burdensome obligations only makes them linger around longer. There could also be pressure from external forces or people to do things that do not sit right with you. On one hand, there is a bite the bullet message this month, but you can never feel imprisoned, you’re a malleable nonconformist. Do what you gotta do, perhaps fake it until you make it a little bit, but stand strong on your limits, refuse to give in when boundaries are starting to feel like they’re being violated.
