This Week Ahead (July 13-July 19), there’s an extraordinary stress on balance. This could be both in terms of the need to maintain a balance in life and the reciprocal karmic effects that even the scales of justice.
What goes around comes around.
There is a big focus on justice at a collective level. The areas where it is likely to be more pronounced are partnerships and relationships.
The triggers could likely be delusional energies that prevail this week, leading to a lack of clarity and wisdom.
There could also be a clash between sentiments and reasoning.
Mid-point difficulties and challenges are indicated. Indecisions could create delays.
A coarse correction can at times be necessary in life.
If you feel stuck, look at it as a phase where you are required to make certain sacrifices. This could be a renewal process that’s much needed.
This will apply mostly to those whose birthdates fall in the third decan of their Sun-sign. By nature, third decan natives are mutable and thus more adaptable than the others.
For some, there’s hope of unexpected opportunities that could come up quite magically.
So for this week, avoid hasty moves. Have the courage to do what is right. Have command over your will and act in a righteous manner.

[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.]
