Today's tarot card for Aries: King of Wands
Aries, you are a strong personality type and are often considered an outstanding leader who helps others recognize their positive traits when working as a team.
On August 20, you may find yourself playing a highly supportive role at work or in a relationship, where your insightfulness sparks imagination and helps encourage change.
You may not even try to do this; it will happen naturally by your presence. In other words, today's message is to be who you are, and life will handle the rest.

Today's tarot card for Taurus: Three of Pentacles, reversed
Taurus, it's a good thing that you tend to be slightly hard to push away when things don't work out as planned. Today, the Three of Pentacles, reversed, suggests that teamwork requires more time and effort on your part.
Remember that people often need extra encouragement when their skills don't match what's required.
Ask questions to assess how things are or what's needed from others. You could learn new things that help you make life easier for everyone involved.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Today's tarot card for Gemini: Six of Wands, reversed
Gemini, you are a thinker, and once you have formed your ideas, you tend to stick to them. However, your mind is malleable and you can retrain it to see things in a new light.
It will take time, but it can be done on August 20. The Six of Wands, reversed, indicates that you may confront themes or past instances where you felt devalued. Restore your belief that you are, and others' opinions or treatment don't define you.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Today's tarot card for Cancer: Six of Pentacles, reversed
Cancer, trust the process, especially when it feels like there are things you don't understand but need to. Your intuition is sharp, and you ought to believe it when your gut nudges you in a particular direction.
However, things take time to reveal themselves, even under adverse circumstances, as indicated by a reversed Six of Pentacles. Note that guardian angels or forces are working behind the scenes on August 20, helping to support your highest good.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Today's tarot card for Leo: Knight of Cups, reversed
Leo, you have such high standards, so when you set goals for yourself, you often think that others are doing the same. Sometimes they are, and there are times when they will not. Both circumstances are OK.
On August 20, the Knight of Cups reversed, represents unrealistic thoughts and ideas of how circumstances ought to be. You may need to reshift your ideals and try to adapt to the reality of the day.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Today's tarot card for Virgo: Queen of Swords, reversed
Virgo, you are never intentionally mean to someone, but there are times when people may describe your personality as stern due to your desire to encourage excellence. But, on August 20, the tarot suggests that you be slightly more lenient and soft.
A little gentleness can promote more goodwill in others and a desire to help than goals that feel hard to reach, even if you think they are possible.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Today's tarot card for Libra: Knight of Pentacles, reversed
Libra, you are a sign that promotes closeness and unity, so when there seems to be a break in intimate conversation or connection, you want to fix the problem as soon as possible.
It takes more than you to resolve conflict, though, and you may realize on August 20 that other people are not open to building bridges as much as they would prefer to burn them.
Today's advice from the Knight of Pentacles, reverse card, is to step back and see what happens next.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Today's tarot card for Scorpio: Ten of Wands, reversed
Scorpio, because you're always searching for the facts and to get to the heart of a matter, you have gained an abundance of wisdom.
Today's tarot card, the Ten of Wands, reversed, allows you to apply the lessons of human nature that you've learned over the years.
Trust your intuition on August 20, and let it guide you more than the opinion of others. Today's truth comes from within.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Today's tarot card for Sagittarius: Ace of Wands, reversed
Sagittarius, you are bold and honest. While the truth may set a person free, the delivery does matter.
Today's advice from the tarot card, the Ace of Wands, reversed, is to gift others with your thoughts from a more gentle approach. An ear may be more receptive to words that are kind and soft than raw and delivered without tact.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Today's tarot card for Capricorn: Nine of Swords
Capricorn, Wednesday may be a tough day ahead if you're not careful. On August 20, the Nine of Swords warns against impulsive acts like shopping for emotional reasons without price comparing or choosing to spend money instead of saving it.
You may find that it's best to celebrate a win that involves being frugal rather than a deal that ends up becoming a luxury you wish you had not purchased.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Today's tarot card for Aquarius: The World
