Tarot for Cancer · JULY 2020 · Prudence

Many 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.
