There's abundance for all; few open their doors

 

Last week’s extraordinary delusional energies have receded. What we see on the horizon is a turning point with the lucky Wheel of Fortune (Jupiter) appearing thrice in the cards that got pulled out for the Week Ahead (July 22-July 28).

The week is influenced by the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima. Jupiter, which is also known as Guru, deals with knowledge. So the week ahead is getting an illuminating push forward. How aware are you of your circumstances and variables surrounding a matter when a turning point confronts you? Are you making an informed decision? These are important questions to answer.

However, as an after-effect of the previous week perhaps, indecision has taken a stronghold. Like the Knight of Pentacles which has come up thrice, there is hesitancy in moving forward.

Collectively cautious but optimistic, we are likely to take measured steps towards this change. There might be good reasons for being cautious though.

The Emperor may say it’s time for action, but The Hierophant is telling us to stick to the norms even as we get compelled by The Fool to rebel.

When turning points appear, it also means one chapter is closing while the other opens. Whether one is fearful of the change or one is confident, will dictate how one can tap into Jupiter’s energy of abundance. 

Earth energies which show us the results of our actions are stronger than any other element this week. What one has created or the result one gets to see would depend on the actions taken in the past. The turning point would thus be different for different people.

[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.]
