Life is offering you seeds of great potential; sow them with care
There’s a flip side to every coin. If you think you stand half a chance to land either heads or tails, you are right. But which one comes your way is not determined by chance but by your intentionality, because nothing happens by chance.
The Week Ahead (September 2-September 8) throws up several possibilities for new beginnings. With Shravan coming to an end and the New Moon in Virgo this week, I was not surprised to pull out five Aces during the readings. In tarot, Aces are like seeds with great potential in their respective domains. Each of the Aces has appeared, with the Ace of Pentacles (the seed with the potential to materialise dreams) surfacing twice during the readings.
These offer great opportunities for us to make fresh starts at a collective level.
If there’s a project that’s going nowhere, you can plan to restart it this week.
If you’ve been thinking of making an important purchase or a decision, do it this week with strong intentions.
The question is, what intentions are you setting for yourself? What do you plan to do with these opportunities? How do you plan to realise your dreams?
A great opportunity does not come knocking twice. If it passes, you miss the chance.
I mention this because while we’ve got five Aces, The Sun and The Magician, we also have The Moon.
Planet Moon has appeared seven times, and its energies can delude you into believing what you think is right. But that may not be the case always.
Every coin has a flip side to it.
Those who see through circumstances nonjudgementally with clear intentions will ace this week. Those who get caught in a cloud of thoughts, fears and worries may get deluded on the way forward.
The week also gets a very emotional feel to it with the balance extraordinarily tilted to the water element — also associated with the moon.
Which way is your balance tilted? Are you making decisions with a sense of compassion or greed? Are you pursuing your dreams with intentionality? These are some of the questions which can help you make strong strides 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.]
