Weekly Tarot & Astrology: Choose What Feels True
August 24–28, 2026 Choose what matters
This week isn’t asking you to reinvent your life.
It’s asking you to notice what excites you, make thoughtful adjustments, choose what genuinely feels right, and remember which parts of your past are worth carrying forward.
With Virgo season underway, Mercury moving into Virgo, and Friday’s Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse approaching, there’s plenty happening astrologically.
But our tarot cards make the message much simpler:
Knight of Wands • Temperance • The Lovers • Six of Cups
Follow the spark. Find your balance. Choose what aligns. Remember what matters.
Monday & Tuesday — Knight of Wands: Follow the Spark
There’s something wonderfully energizing about beginning a Virgo-season week with the Knight of Wands.
Virgo may be practical, but that doesn’t mean we have to lose our enthusiasm.
And as Mercury enters Virgo on Tuesday, ideas can begin to feel clearer and easier to shape into something useful.
If something has been exciting you lately, pay attention to it.
You don’t need the whole plan. But you may be ready to take one small step toward making the idea real.
Ask yourself: What am I genuinely excited about right now?
Wednesday — Temperance: Adjust, Don’t Overhaul
Midweek, Temperance reminds us that progress doesn’t always require a dramatic change.
Sometimes it’s about adjusting the balance.
A little more of this.
A little less of that.
Virgo energy can make us very aware of what could be improved, but not everything needs fixing.
Look for the small adjustment that makes things feel easier rather than the big change that leaves you overwhelmed.
Ask yourself: Where would a little more balance make a meaningful difference?
Thursday — The Lovers: Choose What Aligns
As the Moon moves into Pisces and we begin building toward Friday’s eclipse, The Lovers brings us back to choice.
This card isn’t only about relationships.
It’s also about alignment — the choices we make when we know what matters to us.
You may find yourself looking at something differently this week and asking:
Does this still feel right for me?
You don’t need to choose what makes sense to everyone else.
Choose what allows you to remain true to yourself.
Friday — Six of Cups: Remember Without Going Back
Friday brings the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, illuminating the balance between Virgo’s desire to improve and Pisces’ ability to surrender.
We’ll explore this eclipse much more deeply in our special Lunar Eclipse forecast.
For our weekly guidance, the Six of Cups offers a beautiful message about the past.
Memories, old relationships, familiar places, or even an earlier version of yourself may come to mind.
Some things deserve to be carried forward.
Others were simply part of getting you here.
You can honour where you’ve been without needing to return there.
Guidance for Your Element
💧 Water Signs — Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces
Queen of Cups
Listen to yourself before looking outside yourself for an answer.
Your sensitivity isn’t something that needs to be managed away this week. Give yourself enough quiet to hear what your intuition has been trying to tell you.
Your reminder: Trust what you know beneath the noise.
🌬️ Air Signs — Gemini, Libra & Aquarius
Ace of Swords
Something becomes clearer when you stop overcomplicating it.
A conversation, decision, or realization may help you see a situation differently this week.
Clarity doesn’t mean knowing everything.
Sometimes it simply means knowing what’s true for you.
Your reminder: Choose clarity over confusion.
🌿 Earth Signs — Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn
Eight of Pentacles
Small, consistent effort matters more than getting everything perfect.
This is especially fitting as Virgo season begins. Focus on what you’re building rather than how far you still have to go.
Your reminder: Keep showing up for what matters.
🔥 Fire Signs — Aries, Leo & Sagittarius
Three of Wands
You’ve already begun something.
Now give it room to grow.
The Three of Wands asks you to look beyond what’s immediately in front of you and consider what could become possible if you keep moving forward.
Your reminder: Think beyond where you are now.
This Week’s Message
The Knight of Wands brings the spark.
Temperance helps us work with it wisely.
The Lovers asks us to choose what genuinely aligns.
And the Six of Cups reminds us that moving forward doesn’t require forgetting where we’ve been.
This week, you don’t need to force a fresh start.
Follow what excites you.
Adjust what isn’t working.
Choose what feels true.
And carry forward only what still belongs in the life you’re creating.
Reflection
- What is exciting me right now?
- Where could a small adjustment create more balance?
- What choice feels most aligned with who I am today?
- What from my past do I want to carry forward — and what can I leave there?
Weekly Affirmation
I follow what inspires me, choose what aligns, and carry forward only what supports where I’m going.
