Network, value morality in this illuminating week
A rather uncertain period of nearly two months appears to now be behind us at least for this week — June 29-July 5. The tail end of the cycle may, however, persist in minor pockets.
As you know, life moves in cycles.
Last week, Venus did the job beautifully in halting the uncertainty with her gracious presence. This week, as I shuffled the cards, The Empress, the Venus in tarot, was peeping out from below the tarot deck and randomly jumping out of the pack. But she didn’t make an appearance this week. Minor cards that represent the Venus energy did appear though -- with II of Cups reminding us about the importance of harmony, balance and beauty.
It was heartening to see the appearance of The Star, building hopes and positivity. Some may have to deal with The Tower energy before experiencing the bliss of The Star, but more importantly, cards that represent The Sun have appeared in large numbers. This should be an illuminating week for the collective, with wisdom shunning darkness and happiness overcoming any remorse.
The two Justice cards remind us that every action has a karmic reaction. Allow the super consciousness to guide you in decision-making this week.
Planet Mercury — led by The Magician — has outnumbered the Sun, giving direction to the energy of vitality. The collective free will — and here the individual free will plays an important role — will need to make good use of these energies to move towards a better tomorrow.
The majors form only a quarter of the total cards pulled, bringing the focus to the day-to-day affairs.
Mercury prompts us to get down to business-as-usual with a focus on networking, travel, upskilling, and thinking on our feet.
But remember, this could also be exhausting as indicated by the X of Swords.
The Earth element dominates the cards this week. With all three Earth zodiacs appearing, the focus would be on work, careers, financial security and stability.
The Kings are missing from the reading, which should keep matters surrounding ego and authority in check.
Three Knight of Cups indicate a quest for emotional stability. These should serve as the foundation for great new beginnings as number 1 appears five times. With number 7 appearing four times, the collective is asked to make choices with determination and aligned with goodness.

[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.
