Weekly tarot reading: Rare opportunities for some, tough tests for others

This week, running from August 11 to August 17, brings unexpected twists. Some will have a unique opportunity to change their lives, while others may face serious challenges. Here's what the Tarot cards predict for each zodiac sign, according to Metro.
Aries
Card: Queen of Swords
You need space and freedom from others' control. Don't wait for permission. Do it! You know what you're doing. State your position and reclaim your autonomy.
Taurus
Card: Five of Swords
A conflict is brewing, so it's time to speak plainly. Express your feelings and try to understand the other side. After a pause, make a decision together. Everything can be settled.
Gemini
Card: Eight of Cups
You won't get what you wanted, but it's for the best. Walk away with dignity. Growth begins here through refusal, vulnerability, and overcoming. The world has something bigger in store for you.
Cancer
Card: The Tower
You've held onto something destructive for too long. It's time to tear it down, once and for all. Speak up, draw the line, break free from the trap. The pain is short-lived; healing is inevitable.
Leo
Card: Six of Pentacles
You give too much, yet receive silence in return. It's unfair. Time to set boundaries and, if needed, let go. Your energy is not endless. Respect yourself and set priorities.
Virgo
Card: King of Cups
You sense that someone close needs support. Show compassion and offer help through words, actions, or simply by being present. Your emotional intelligence is your greatest asset. Use it where it matters most.
Libra
Card: Six of Cups
An old feeling resurfaces. This could be an ex-partner, a childhood friend, or someone from the past. You're ready to reconnect, just take the first step. Your heart already knows who's worth returning to.
Scorpio
Card: Queen of Wands
You're holding back a passion that's ready to burst out. Stop waiting. Do what you've long felt drawn to, like love, travel, creativity, or life changes. Only you decide how to live. Time to act.
Sagittarius
Card: Eight of Swords
You're making assumptions about others and getting them wrong. Don't guess, ask directly. Clear answers will free you from worry. Clarify the situation and move on.
Capricorn
Card: Nine of Wands
You're exaggerating the problem. Fear has blown it out of proportion. Talk to someone rational to regain your footing. Start acting, and the anxiety will fade.
Aquarius
Card: Page of Cups
You want care and support, and that's okay. Allow yourself to be vulnerable. Tell loved ones you need warmth and attention. This is the time to be gentle, not strong.
Pisces
Card: Seven of Cups
Your ideas are ready, and it's time to bring them to life! Don't put off inspiration. Turn dreams into projects, create, experiment, and take action. This week is your launchpad.
