Momentum towards a new cycle presents fresh challenges
Transitions and closures could be the highlight for this week beginning July 27 to August 2.
A combination of The World, Death, Wheel of Fortune and The Tower indicate major changes at a collective level.
Based on the cards pulled, I see a significant Saturnian influence matched almost equally by the illuminating Sun. While you may have to operate within certain conditions or limitations, your higher self will guide you well.
Cardinal energies prevail this week, making it outcome-based and action-oriented. Growth will be the desired focus, but beauty and harmony could be the missing links.
The week is likely to spotlight the importance of balancing partnerships. This can be a tough task when compassion and courage are absent.
One is asked to maintain moderation and pay heed to the importance of introspection and deliberation before acting or communicating anything that’s on one's mind.

[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.
