Fiery passion follows closure; a transformative change sets in
Saturnian influences that prevailed in the previous week have reduced in intensity for the Week Ahead (June 15-June 21). Although they still hold sway, they are countered by the positive and illuminating energies of the Sun.
Additionally, cards connected to Jupiter, the planet of knowledge and good fortune, exceed those that represent Saturn.
Mars energies are also significant this week. Actions would thus be driven by passion.
As I had mentioned, last week was extraordinary with The World getting pulled thrice, indicating completion of cycles. This week, The World got pulled twice.
For this week, Judgement and Death have also got pulled twice, putting the spotlight on major transformations and transitions.
Together, the presence of Death, Judgement and The World signifies that we could be collectively moving towards a transformative change.
The universe is giving us a chance to imbibe the lessons learnt and demonstrate the same in our behaviour and actions.
The lone Tower card and a single Wheel of Fortune would test us on our discerning abilities this week. The direction we take collectively will determine the outcomes we encounter in our journey.
The presence of four Queen cards brings much warmth but not exactly the compassion that’s needed because the Queen of Cups is missing.
Elementally, this is a very balanced week. Numerically, there’s a strong call for maintaining this balance through harmony and partnerships.
New beginnings and growth are also indicated.
Among the minors, the III of Pentacles asks us to get back to the grind, to achieve and grow what needs to be accomplished.

[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.
