Expansive energies which can lead to growth are high, but the turning points may not be entirely devoid of frictions. Both Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, and Mars, the warrior planet, are on an equal footing for the Week Ahead (June 17-June 23). Whether the Mars energy gets deployed as hard work or wasted in fury, will set the collective direction. Making choices will not be easy given the presence of deluding energies as well. How one handles these turning points will decide who emerges the Magi, who the Hermit.
[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.
