The week of August 17 to August 23 marks a significant astrological shift as Leo season gives way to Virgo season on August 22. According to tarot reader Kerry King, this transition signals the end of the party and the beginning of a period focused on clearing house, decluttering, and restoring order and control.
Final Days of Leo Energy
King encourages making the most of the remaining Leo days with abandon, celebrating and playing without worrying about the aftermath. After this, it's time to review matters with a clear head and discipline. The tarot readings for each sign offer insights into what this week brings.
