Zip through tasks this week, on the fly
On getting a bird’s eye view of the tarot cards pulled for the Week Ahead (January 13- January 19), a word that comes to mind is `swiftness’.
The energies that surround the collective, point towards sudden gains and quick turn of events leading mostly to success.
VIII of Wands which depicts momentum appeared thrice during the reading. It also represents the planet Mercury. Mercury-related cards were pulled five times during the reading indicating a strong focus on communications, networking events, breaking news, and travel, among others.
Number 8, which signifies success, came through nine times among the cards pulled, which is unprecedented and points towards major accomplishments.
An exceptionally good card The Star, which stands for the realisation of a grand vision and inspiration, came up thrice.
While there would be lessons to be learnt for those who do not gain much this week, for the lucky ones who do, the gifts could be unexpected and significant.

[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.]
