This is an exciting month for you, Gemini. All of this renewed action is just the push you need to further explore ideas that you had already been mulling around. This dynamic energy favors your communication style and quick decision-making skills, even if you do go back and forth a bit while making up your mind. Now is the time to dive in head first and seize the currents to lead you to your dreams. In Tarot, the Two of Wands shows us looking out over our dominion with the world in our hands. We've been contemplating our next move and now we have the support from friends and colleagues to give it our best shot and expand the empire. We will need to be courageous as we set out on this passionate, new adventure , but if we can do it, the effort will pay dividends. Material increase is indicated with these endeavours, so focus on your aspirations and make it happen. Though the energy is fast and productive, it will still take time before you can harvest the fruits of your labor. Because you're more comfortable with the light and airy aspect of life, the time between begining a new adventure and finally reaching the destination can cause restlessness and a desire to change route. Don't give in; stick to the plan. This is the perfect opportunity to foster an appreciation for patience. Rome wasn't built in a day, so check your goals, keep on the path and follow through to reap the rewards.

It's natural to freak out a bit when you see the Death card, but it's not as bad as it looks. It would be much worse if it were reversed, so at least you have that. At this point, there's not much you can do except surrender to the change. I suppose you could resist transformation, but in doing that you're only delaying the process ultimately. Besides, when one thing comes to an end, it makes space for something new to be born. As painful as it may seem, it's for your own evolution as a person to take you one step closer to becoming the highest version of yourself The end of something in your life is nearing, but right on the other side you'll find positive change awaits. This type of transformation is, in reality, a renewal and even a rebirth after death. This is the phoenix rising up from the ashes. The transformative process is like getting an update to your software. Now you're open to new ideas and new opportunities that had been passing you by. You can discard what is no longer serving you in order to become leaner, more efficient and definitely improved. Don't skirt change this month! The sooner you dive in, the quicker you'll come out the other side. The Tarot cards indicate this month that we're finally going to catch a break from the Universe. Of course there will be challenges along the way, but it's nothing we can't overcome by being self-aware and carefully observing the cogs in the machine that surrounds us. After weeks of stagnation, some emotional upsets and discord in our most intimate relationships, watery Cancer and the intuitive Moon will be making way for us to shine like the Sun as we approach the sign it rules, Leo. This month get ready for the speed to pick up and prepare to claim your victory as things come into balance. There's no time like the present and right now, it's showtime! Tarot Reading for July
This Tarot card initially may seem a bit daunting, after all, the Five of Cups is also known as the Lord of Disappointment. The good news is that it's reversed, so we've flipped the disappointment on its head and we've been able to take control of the situation from an emotional standpoint to rewrite the narrative. We step fully into our personal power and take responsbility for our actions and the way we feel about situations. This is clearly still an influence of the Moon in Cancer before the zodiac continues through the cycle drawing on Leo's Sun for a different kind of energy later in the month. Because we've taken the time to check in with ourselves, we're on steadier ground and we now make room in our lives to be able to enjoy things once again. We get our head into a more positive space and it is from here that new alliances can be formed and old friendships can be nurtured. We're holding our chin high and our hopeful expectations keep us on the path to victory and success this month. The challenge this month is to stay grounded amid the influx of buoyant energy. We've got to play the long game here so keep your eyes on the prize. You'll be tested in July and defeat is certainly one of the possible outcomes if we aren't careful. Pride comes before a fall so be realistic about what your contributions are and how much you've actually accomplished. If you are in a struggle or competition, do not underestimate your opponent or you will end up being woefully unprepared for the task at hand. Don't cut corners to win either because it will only lead to an empty victory which really isn't worth much in the grand scheme of things. It's easy to dilute ourselves into thinking we've got everything covered so we don't have to keep putting in the work, but this weakness is also a challenge we must overcome this month. All talk and no action won't be enough to get you by this time. Moral strength, preparation, intellect, quick thinking and hard work are required to turn defeat on its head and come out victorious. Great news here! The energy in your environment is incredibly supportive this month and encourages us to keep moving foward. We'll be able to put some of our material problems behind us this month as we move out of the darkness and into the light. We can start to move on from that all-consuming worry as we finally start to see where this is all going. You can expect your finances to get better this month and you may even start a new job or project. Although this work would seem to be temporary, it's enough to bolster your high vibes and spring you toward your goals. As the Universe appears to be cooperating more with the way you think things should play out, you may even turn to your more spiritual side as a token of gratitude for the wind at your back. The Tarot cards advise you to get busy this month and take advantage of the swift activity surrounding you. Things are moving fast and you better not be left behind. Hold on to that hope we saw bring in the month and keep a positive attitude while you're going through the motions. Where things were stagnant before, now we see them take off so run with it! The Eight of Wands also indicates that the movement will be in an area of passion, adventure and even love. Get a head start so you don't find yourself playing catch-up all month. You made it! The Sun is shining bright in Leo and if you've taken the stage and committed, you'll be one hell of a performer this month. It is showtime and victory is on your side. The success you experience this month is due to your good decision-making, balanced emotions and intellect and showing authority as you move forward. The Chariot is the card of Triumph so as long as you hold yourself accountable, you'll be moving in the right direction and you will have gained control of the natural forces shaping your life. This is a spectacular moment for celebrating hard-earned success, so congratulations on sticking it out and bringing your game face this month. It's worth it! Book an Online Tarot Reading or Give a Gift CardMany of you will be celebrating upcoming birthdays and will be looking forward to what this new trip around the Sun brings. Celebrate on, but keep in mind that there will be another task at hand this month that can affect our pocket, and not in a good way. This July we'll need to be prudent about where our money is going and how we can maintain our material wealth. As a someone ruled by Cancer, your gut feelings will serve as an important guide, however you really need to get practical when it comes to money matters. In Tarot, the Six of Pentacles is also known as the card of Success, so when it's reversed, you can already start imagining what that might look like. This month analyze all financial decisions with a fine-tooth comb so you don't miss anything. If you're thinking about taking out a loan or borrowing money from a friend, take a closer look as there are likely to be hidden implications. As much as the person may be your friend, it's probably not pure altruism that's motivating this gesture of support; there will be a price to pay later. If you're analyzing a new investment opportunity, give it a closer look as this month holds the possibility of becoming prey to a malevolent financial scheme, or even a loan shark. You may even get sucked into paying a bribe, and while it might alleviate the present tension, it will only open you up to becoming further compromised. The key here is due dilligence. Give your material and financial decisions more than a once-over as they may not turn out to be what you initially thought. If you are aware of where that energy is going and of any leaks in the system, you'll be prepared to call it off or take any necessary detours that will save you in the long run. This Tarot card suggests the dark night of the soul is almost behind you as the movement picks up in your material realm. That's certainly good news! This month we're finally moving in the right direction. The action may come about more slowly than we would like, but there's gratitude to express for the renewed activity nonetheless. It seems like the world has been turned on its head, and for many people it has. During these next few weeks you'll see the consolidation of your material goals as you move into a space where your finances may now be restored. If it's been a bit tight economically, we now have a respite from worry as the money begins to flow again... in the right direction. You may even receive a job offer or the possibility of collaborating on a new project. It's likely that the employment will be temporary, but you're not exactly in a position to be passing these opportunities up at the moment. Go for it, give it your best and get to work. Even if it is for a short time, the exercise in being productive can open our mind and fill our energy reserves so that we're ready for future, more long-term professional possibilities. This card also indicates that this monetary stability can even come in the form of a gift, inheritance or possibly a loan with great terms. Your luck is changing but the only way to make it stick is to not rely on luck, but take matters into your own hands and make it happen! The Tarot card backing your this month could not play more to your strengths. The Queen of Pentacles aides you in bringing out your nature proclivities and inclinations. Working with the wonderful energy of the cards brings stability and beauty to your life. As a Taurus, you can certainly appreciate the finer things in life and you're not afraid to put the work in to earn them. That's exactly what this month has in store for you. As an Earth sign, you can vibe right along with the Queen of Pentacle, or the great Earth Mother. She brings out your nuturing side and gives you gentle guidance in tending to your affairs. This is a generous, charitable energy that leads you to be productive in a paused, patient way; just your style! Your taste for opulence and love of luxury can be satisfied this month by throwing a little elbow grease into your work. The best things in life may be free, but that doesn't negate the fact that there are still plenty of amazing things in life that are far from free. You are dedicated and head strong so any time spent developing your practical talents will pay off. Move forward step by step in a solid and secure way, donning your hat as Mr. or Mrs. Practical and you'll find that milestones are met and you'll be approaching your goal before you know it. We're entering your native month and according to the Tarot cards, things are looking great for you! Even the final result of the general reading is pointing to the Sun, which is your governing body. This is your time to shine, and there's almost nothing more Leo than that. This month you get to tap into a new drive and new energy for life! This powerful and vital flow pushes you right into the action which is exactly where you would prefer to be. We've seen things moving pretty slowly the last few weeks and a certainy lethargy can start to set it, however a now you've regained your strength and you have new ambition to pour into your projects and hobbies. All of this abundant energy in your environment throws the door open for new possibilities now. If you have some ideas you would like to explore, now's the time to go for it. This may mean a new relationship, new goals, exciting new challenges. The sky is the limit and emotional satisfaction is yours to be had. Get moving and followup on any ideas or opportunities that are coming to you at this time. It will be an excellent way to honor yourself and channel that innate energy to blast forward and shine! The Tarot cards this month play to your strengths as you power forward and directly challenge more established ways of thinking. A sense of enlightenment and adventure stoke your inner flame and have you ready to so some exploring this month, even if it's more in the inner realm or in terms of concepts as opposed to acting things out in the physical world. With the Hierophant reversed, idealism envelops your world and you start to look more deeply into the structure of things to see if perhaps there is an alternative way of doing things. You don't back down when faced with a challenge and this gives you just the brazen energy to march to the beat of your own drum this month. Your creativity is ramped up and you're open to new ideas. This willingness to see things from a different perspective is especially efficient in fostering creativity in the spiritual sense. Maybe you're ready to make contact with the more esoteric side this month which could lead to enhanced intuition and guidance. However this creativity takes shape, it's sure to buck social norms and step outside the parameters established by mainstream society. No worries though, if anyone can handle the scrutiny, it's you! Don't be afraid to think outside of the box in July, it may even be necessary! When we're in the thick of it, it's important to remember that it's only temporary and this too shall pass. There are countless clichés to sum up the point, but they are hardly a salve to an open wound, especially when it come to the ego. This month we will be faced with a challenge that could have some heavy consequences. There may already be an air of discord in the environment which creates a feeling of uncertainty as we're met with the first few days of July. The card of the Sun is native to July, so to see it reversed means that there is some shadow work to be done this month. Our ego and symbols that represent what we think defines us will be put to a stress test. This can appear as tension in a romantic relationship, other issues at home or even at work. When we're asked to take a long, hard look in the mirror, it can be an uncomfortable experience, not to mention when there's criticism involved. Even if it's constructive criticism, there's a chance we become dear to the words of wisdom because it's too hard to send the ego to the back seat. You got this; you can absolutely do this. Fight off the nagging, depressive feelings and ride out the storm. Life unfolds in cycles so try to find your silver lining while in the eye of it all and know that Sun will be out again. The tarot reading this week asks us to be authentic in ourselves to deal with change gracefully. Sometimes we get too caught up in the tides that surround us that we forget we know how to swim. We can then end up so far off course that we become disoriented and lose touch with our sense of direction. The influences at work this week are extending a lifejacket to us but we have to swim toward it, even if it's just a doggie-paddle. The message is go with whatever works for you and start swimming! Read on to see the particular challenges and hints from the universe on how to tackle the week. Weekly Tarot Summary
This tarot card looks tremendously frightening at first glance, but let's all take a collective sigh; it's actually good news when it's reversed. We start off the week feeling more balanced and more in tune with ourselves than we have in a while. The bigger picture isn't always clear but what we can gleam from the broad brushstrokes is that we're in this together so we're more inclined toward actions of selflessness and altruism. We have to be careful, however that selflessness doesn't turn into unnecessary self-sacrifice. Right now we're able to see past the material world and connect with something bigger than ourselves. This renewed spiritual understanding broadens our perspective which allows us to see even more possibilities before us. Sometimes having too many options can lead to indeciveness so this is where we'll want to take some time aside and get real with our aspirations and limitations. Due to the overzealous desire to be altruistic and put others first, our challenge this week lies in finding the balance between being open to all and still exercising discernment and caution in our dealings. We can support our friends, neighbors, business partners, etc. but there is a risk that our projects get cancelled, we experience a loss in our homelife or there may even be a con-man lurking around for alms when he's really a thief. Our love for the other cannot get in the way of using good, sound judgment. When the Lord of Gain is reversed positioned as the challenge, we know we're facing the possibility of material loss. It would behoove us to avoid over-spending and any excesses (in food, drinks, vices, etc.) that are unchecked. This is where we'll see the universe back us up by provided a loving, supportive environment where we can become centered. This card is particulary indicative of support and harmony in romantic relationships, however even when we have this beauty and balance sometimes we still need to make a choice. This can be about setting your boundaries, turning away from temptation or doubling down on commitment. These relationhips can subtly pull us in one direction or the other, but as long as you stay true to your compass, you'll find companionship and fulfillment in navigating life's challenges together. After the period of stagnation that we saw last week, there's now movement and it's happening quickly. The advice is to keep up with the pace, roll your sleeves up and lean into the flurry of activity. It's imperative that you stay optimistic and face the future with hope even when things look bleak. Nothing lasts forever and the wheel of life is going to keep turning so you might as well enjoy the ride. Things are moving so quickly now that you may even receive an unexpected message regarding a project or matter of your homelife that kicks the situation into high gear... FINALLY! Run with it, but try to check in with yourself periodically so that you're making decisions out of love, expansion and honesty instead of fear and desperation. Change is on its head, so we're having trouble adapting. We'll only see this card reversed as the outcome if we don't heed the warnings. We've seen that the changes in our lives have now gained momentum and the speed is picking up, but if we don't stay true to ourselves throughout the bustle of activity we'll end up overwhelmed, over-extended and perhaps even a bit resentful. In reality the reason is because we haven't established and enforced our own boundaries, but instead we're inclined to keep the mask on, keep up the show and continue going through the motions. That's simply unsustainable and while it may work for you in the short-term, you won't be able to keep up the juggling for long and you'll eventually drop something... and let me tell you, it won't be graceful. You would be doing yourself a huge favor by learning to be aware of your limitations and drawing the line in the sand. No need to maintain the charade while you do it either. Suffering on with a brave face or some sort of counterfeit happiness is a waste of your energy. Do what you can within your possibilities, the universe is on your side.
