Counter challenges with courage, compassion
Sudden changes could be around the corner.
Courage, focus, will power and your intrinsic skills can help you overcome any hurdles in the Week Ahead (July 8-July 14).
On the other hand, over indulgence and misjudgement can throw one off track.
There are great blessings to counter any negative energies. Tap into these to usher in happiness and success.
Significantly, the Queen of Cups has showed up thrice, indicating a need for great compassion and empathy.
A state of flux is indicated with both fire and water competing for dominance. Make sure you use these energies wisely. How you fuel your passion and creativity in your life, and how you soothe your anger, will be critical.

[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.]
