Monsoon is here in full swing and Mumbaikars know pretty well what it’s like to navigate their way this season. And guess what? Tarot for the Week Ahead (July 15-July 21) has a very Neptunian twist to it.
Primarily, water is the single largest element that has appeared in the cards pulled out for this week.
What does it tell us? Well, it places a greater stress on emotions. Emotions can be of different kinds. Given that the positive energies outweigh the negative ones in the cards pulled out, the week should be more about congeniality, happiness, self-care and celebration for a majority or at a collective level. Lucky turning points are expected for some.
However, there’s a strong presence of delusional energies — The Moon card has appeared thrice — which could sway you off track. If you are going deep into your subconscious to weed your garden, it’s fine. But if you are going to get entangled in negative thinking, it’ll not help anyone.
One should also pay attention to clarity of thought before jumping to conclusions or making any big decisions. Thankfully, The Sun card has appeared to show us the way.
It’s better to stay put than to head out in a cloudy weather. Here I am referring to our minds and not the literal weather, which one also needs to constantly check before stepping out.

[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.
