Take the turning point with awareness and courage
Determination and courage meet good fortune this week, leading to a sense of satisfaction at a collective level. It’s only through strong commitment and belief in one’s abilities that one can find abundance. Don’t waver from the path even if questions are raised.
Once you reach your destination you’ll realise you were never far away from it. What was lacking was the awareness.
This Week Ahead (July 6-July 12) the focus for the collective will largely be around careers, social status, financial security and stability driven by the core need to protect the turf — whether it’s the home, the family, society or community.
New beginnings are indicated. Turning points would amplify growth and the need to express gratitude.
Collectively we’re at a stage this week where we’re reaping the fruits of our actions, which sets into motion new cycles.
These actions could largely be driven by self-interest. Since nobody’s showing us a mirror — which can bring self-awareness — a balance could be missing this week.
The energies are mainly expansive and supportive, but must be used wisely.

[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.
