Pitch and propel ideas in energised week ahead
Firing on all cylinders! That’s how I would describe the Week Ahead (July 1-July 7), going by the tilt towards the fire element and Mars, a symbol of assertiveness and aggression. Being a cardinal force, Mars is a very useful energy if handled well.
Looking at the tarot cards I pulled, the upcoming week could well be a very productive week collectively, indicating that projects could see progress, new ideas could be conceptualised and extra efforts could see some tasks getting accomplished.
Basically, there would be some forward movement irrespective of what issues concern you.
The presence of major arcana cards like The Sun, Wheel of Fortune, The Emperor and The Magician should certainly accelerate the momentum.
But, if the Mars energy is not used creatively and positively, it could create hurdles and blockages. How you use this energy is in your hands. Certainly, avoid heated arguments or any aggressive behaviour.
On the other hand, if the energy is not given an outlet, the impact could be internalised. So hit the gym or get going with activities which will help you expend this energy.
The presence of three Queens surely provides nurturing opportunities to negate any ill effects of Mars energy.
How do you plan to use your creative energies this week?

[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.]
