The Week Ahead for July 29-August 4 is all about kindling your inspiration and creating new ideas. But hurdles in the form of mood swings and stalemates would need to be overcome to allow one to transform gradually.
The Emperor, appearing twice, provides us with the requisite push. The Ace of Cups — also appearing twice — blesses us in abundance to move towards our goals and objectives. Imagine yourself as a newly unfurled leaf. All the conditions are conducive to growth. But nothing comes on a platter. You have to make that effort to move to the next level. The environment is good for us to dream big and move towards realising them. The Justice card reminds us to act by what we would like to see materialise in our lives.

[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.]
