Extraordinary situations continue to hold sway this week (June 10-June 16) as well. Major arcana cards — which symbolise the archetypes — emerged as the single largest cohort. Cards that signify transformation (Death), courage (Strength), sacrifice (The Hanged Man) and awakening (Judgement) — each appeared twice during the reading session.
What situation could evoke a sense of courage? What do we need to let go?
On the other hand, Temperance and Justice ask us to maintain a balance, do things in moderation.
Some of these cards signify new beginnings. Death has appeared in Scorpio’s second decan, indicating that the past is being left behind to make way for new memories. The second Death card has appeared in Aquarius, third decan, pointing towards collective beliefs that are undergoing a transformation.
For sure, The Fool doesn’t stand a chance in the presence of the Hierophant. The rebel at heart, would find it difficult to fit within the confines of rigid frameworks. Learning is required to grow.
Two Kings among the court cards — vis-a-vis only one in the previous week — signify competition or the emergence of two clear domains, both almost equally strong. A tug of war can be expected.
The choices (The Lovers) made will set the direction for the future.
[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.
