With a balanced week ahead, focus shifts to the routine

 

Rarely do we get a good balance in elemental energies, and the cards I pulled for this Week Ahead’s (June 24-June 30) column, reveal a perfect balance. 

What does this means at a collective level? That extraordinary situations have settled down and life has more or less ironed out the wrinkles. No karmic or sudden events likely to show up. It’s done and dusted. It also means that for a majority, the daily humdrum of life would come back into focus. Well, dull and boring is good! It’s like a relaxing exhale.

One can now begin on a clean slate. 

The Star, appearing twice, could be an indication of the goodness that could be returning in humanity.

Delusional effects (The Moon), however, still continue to play. But that can be easily overcome with strong cards like The World, Strength, The Hermit and The Emperor appearing among the majors. 

A turning point — expected for the better — is indicated for some.

Reliance on more harmonious energies which are congenial, giving and meditative are likely to prevail. The harsh energies of the previous weeks appear to be behind us. At least for now.

A section may still have to deal with some heartbreaks and anxiety, but our quest collectively is for beauty, love and stability. Amen to that!

[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.
