External forces prevail; step forward, intuitively
Karmic influences hold strong sway on events in the week ahead (April 5-April 11).
The collective energy is shifting from personal needs to a higher expression of the superconscious.
With a deeper understanding of the inner truth and guidance from the higher self, the spotlight is on overcoming dependencies and shattering illusions.
Domain Kings and Knights have remained absent for the second week in a row, indicating a lack of dynamics. Matters could remain unresolved at our conscious level of understanding.
Like the previous week, cards related to Saturn appeared six times, exerting pressure to double down on efforts under restrictive conditions.
This time, there aren’t any major turning points either. But change could be forced through sudden events with The Tower appearing twice.
However, there’s more awareness about the likely consequences, and a hope for renewal that rides on The Star which also appears twice.
The universe offers a choice through The Lovers.
But the intellect is clouded and thus the need for clarity to discern well.
Only when the ego surrenders can spiritual guidance help in the discernment process.
What the collective intention wishes to grow will manifest.
Wisdom may come from past experiences. But intuition reveals the way forward.
Choose intuitively!

[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.]
