As Leo turns to Virgo season on August 22, the party is over and it’s time to clear house, declutter, get things in order and feel back in control again.
You know what, that’s a good feeling — but it doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of those final days of Leo action.
Go big or go home, be wild, have fun, celebrate and play with abandon and don’t worry about the aftermath too much. Life is for living, and this is one of those times.
After this, you can start to review matters with a clear head, a sober heart, and a strong dose of willpower and discipline.
What final celebration, good news, attention or revelry will this last week of Leo season bring you?
Let the tarot reveal all.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Hermit
Meaning: The Hermit is Virgo’s card which makes me think you’ve been hankering for the more orderly, routine and structured nature of this season for some time. Partying and play are all very well for a while, but you yearn for your usual habits and objectives.
You have new ideas and a fresh burst of energy to put them in motion. Get to it then. The insights you’ve had this summer are going to make for a fruitful autumn, and there’s still more self awareness and learning to come, you’re on a roll of having epiphanies and knowing just what to do with them. Life feels in flow.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Knight of Coins
Meaning: Thank goodness for the incoming energy of Virgo and autumn, that’s what you think! The Knight of Coins has you already getting back down to business, streamlining and organising your time and space, and working hard on the goals and ambitions you want to bring home before year end.
You have big ideas, and lots of motivation, and now is a great time to work hard on bringing them to fruition. Every ounce of effort you put into your home, work, wealth and wellbeing this week will be rewarded and will pay back in positive ways. Invest in yourself.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Devil
Meaning: A change of star sign season gives you the chance to reboot, recalibrate, start afresh. You have racked up some unwelcome habits or self-limiting quirks this summer — fun at the time, but you don’t want to carry them forward to a new season or year.
So, clear the slate this week. Start again. New game. All is possible. The bonds that keep you tethered to people, places, roles or habits you no longer want are loose this week, The Devil comes to invite you to look in the mirror, see what changes you want, and make them a reality. This is a window to recalibrate. Use it!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: The Lovers
Meaning: Potent sexual chemistry around you this week, Cancer (as ever). Look out for Geminis, especially, or folk who have multiple personalities and keep you guessing. Perhaps this is a long-running flirtation that has arisen again, though it never seems to get traction. Perhaps a hot/cold friendship. Perhaps an ex who always pops up when you least expect it.
Decide how you feel about this before you do anything. Don’t respond until you have a game plan that works to deliver your end objective. Be strategic, otherwise you will be swept back into the ‘game’, and it’s one you’ve already played. What do you want to happen?

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: Two of Cups
Meaning: The final week of your star sign’s season brings absolute confirmation and reassurance of how loved, admired and appreciated you are by your inner circle, and beyond. Bliss! Revel and bask in the attention and glow. And make sure you reciprocate, it’s not a one-way street (unless it’s a road closure).
Tell folk how you feel about them, make lovely plans for the incoming Autumn, share gifts and treats, call up old pals, pay compliments, be a light and kind presence for folk. You are a highlight for most people, you bring the warmth and fun and love. Remember that, Leo, because we need you on good form.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Five of Cups
Meaning: You are ruled by Mercury and this makes you a Mercurial person, in that you can be contrary and unpredictable. As your star sign season begins, you’d expect to be in a good mood, but the week carries a tinge of somberness or even grief. What are you fretting over? Something from the past has echoed and triggered a sorrow that you thought you’d left behind.
Well, it’s a sign that the healing is still ongoing but that now is a window of opportunity to make more progress. How? Simply let the emotion emerge, name it, look at it, figure out why it’s surging, and then sit a while and reflect on the old wound. Come at it from a new angle. Then, carry on with your wonderful life. This is just a moment.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Six of Coins
Meaning: So many nice surprises lie in store this week, Libra — lucky you! The Six of Coins reveals it’s down to all of the good karma you’ve put out into the Universe this year, and you’re being rewarded in a roundabout way for all of the help, generosity and support you have shown towards others.
Put more credit in the bank by sharing your success and good fortune. Be good to others; it makes you feel great, and it builds up those good karma points for the future. Look to charity, community and good causes too, something there might catch your eye and be a lovely upcoming project for you.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: The Emperor
Meaning: The frivolity of Leo season has worn a little thin for you, Scorpio, and you’re ready, oh so very ready, to get back down to business! The Emperor sees you hatching a cunning plan and being the early bird who got the worm, the early adopter who sets the trend, the hardest worker who gets the prize.
You are unstoppable and forceful when you’re galvanised to action with a serious purpose, and this is the case this week. Don’t scare everyone, though, make allies vs enemies. Persuade vs push. When you have folk on side, you can go much further, much faster. Be bold and stride out, the world awaits your next move.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Strength
Meaning: Leo season is always mega hectic for you as you share the lion’s lust for life and exuberance. It can get exhausting though and you’ve felt depleted as the summer has worn on. Strength visits you this week to remind you of your abundant nature and vitality, that you actually recharge and thrive on company and activity.
Take a rest but don’t wallow in a pit because it’s not how you restore your spirits. Come to being around good people, doing things which promote your confidence, prove you can do something well, and help you feel fitter, stronger, faster, better. You are coming back to firing on all cylinders.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Queen of Swords
Meaning: Virgo season is like a welcome ‘back to school’ vibe for you, and you’re ready to embark on a very important solo project. This is intellectually challenging and stimulating; potentially career-focused, but may be educational, creative, or just a topic or skill you really want to acquire knowledge of.
Get to it. Create your ‘back to school’ schedule and programme of learning. Revel in new stationery and timetables. Buy books. Allocate time to this. What you learn and do here may well prove to be the making of your autumn and winter success.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Death
Meaning: The shift of the astrological seasons sparks something deep within you. This is the beginning of 2026’s biggest shift or transition for you personally, all starting within, a change of heart or outlook, swiftly followed by an ending you call time on.
You are ready to let something go in order to pursue something new. You are pivoting. This process starts now and carries on through Scorpio season and the end of November, so it’s a forceful and swift process but with enough room to do something truly significant. An old version of you has run their course. Time to rise again.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Justice
Meaning: You are so well liked and admired — maybe you don’t realise just how much, but I can vouch for it — and this week brings validation after an event or unfair episode in your life that really rocked you. It turns out you were in the right. It turns out that other folk got it wrong.
The truth comes out and justifies your position and standing, and that feels great. That is the final gift of regal Leo to you, before practical Virgo kicks in. This recognition will lead to a change in some relationships, and in your self image. Let that unfold. Be patient, no rush. Take it all in.
