What karmic debts are you offloading this week?
Two important major cards — Judgement and Justice— showed up in the readings for the Week Ahead (June 3-June 9), indicating that the day of reckoning is here to deliver the karmic fruits.
The High Priestess has appeared for the second time in two weeks. What revelation is she going to make? Some may require courage to face the reality, while some may have to make tough choices. We pay for the choices we make and the directions we take.
Wherever there are loose ends or stalemates, The Magician is expected to quickly turn matters around and keep hopes alive.
The Wheel of Fortune, which indicates a jackpot or a significant turning point, is conspicuous by its absence this week. Why do I bring this up? Because, this time the major card is represented by its minor counterparts — the tens or X — in large numbers.
The minor tens, which symbolise endings in our day to day lives, showed up five times during the reading, which is exceptional. Of these, X of Wands, a card that depicts extreme struggles that could be nearing an end for some, appeared thrice. This could indicate relief through unburdening of certain karmic debts.
The presence of three queens indicates that those with nurturing capabilities—mother figures, good team leaders or team players— could come into prominence.
In the hierarchy of reaching the pinnacle, the leader is but one, the King of Pentacles, who is likely to bring good stability. For some, desires are expected to manifest entirely.
With opposing elements (fire & water, air & earth) craving for dominance, matters could be in a state of flux. To make it more fiery, planet Mars appears six times in the readings, while the boundary-setting Saturn comes four times. As opposing forces pull at each other, a balance of sorts is likely to quietly fall in place.
Unlike other columns on zodiac signs, I make efforts every week to bring out decan-specific readings for the twelve Sun-signs. Each zodiac sign (30 degrees) is divided into three decans (10 degrees). This makes the reading more focused and accurate. It also provides better cues for the collective whole.
Which decan of the zodiac does your birthday fall in? Given below are the decan-specific tarot card readings for the respective Sun-signs.
