Your Tarot Card Reading for the Week of June 30

You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let’s go!

Mercury moves into Leo and Venus moves into Gemini this first week of the month which makes us all feel more chatty, expressive, and willing to share what’s REALLY on our mind. Surely that’s no bad thing, right? Well, the Queen of Swords offers a note of caution. Some things are best kept to yourself (as a Sun Gemini and rising Sagittarius, I can attest to this truth, I have been burned many times). Don’t censor yourself overly, but do test out any spiky or controversial ideas or opinions on your journal, bathroom mirror, or best friend first! Nothing wrong with preparing and rehearsing a tricky dialogue, a vulnerable request, or an important pitch. Practice makes perfect. Put effort into your communications and you’ll reap the rewards.

If you made the mantra 'do what feels good’ your guiding light this week, where might it lead you? Are you up for this experiment, Aries? I think it could have a good outcome as the Queen of Cups is the patron saint of self care and love, and her presence will amplify your desire for comfort, healing, and relaxation. Maybe you’re ready for a little time out, a little chill week, a phase of taking care of yourself like the precious asset you truly are. Do what feels good. Tell them I said so!

Your love life is always on your mind, Taurus, because you’re ruled by Venus, so you naturally understand that relationship harmony is where it’s at. Happy heart = happy life. The Two of Cups asks you to work on alignment, balance, mutual respect, support, and reciprocated feeling. Give and receive. Strike a loving note and expect it to be echoed back and, if it’s not, find out why not. This can pertain to friends and family, as well as romantic partners, even to colleagues and creative or business partners. We all have to rub along, get along, and work together. Work on your bonds. Strengthen and deepen them and feel grounded and secure.

The Hermit is not a card that I think many would associate with Gemini but it belongs to your Mercury twin Virgo and does represent a key aspect of your similar natures: the desire for solitude. You run your social battery down fast because you invest a LOT in social bonding and communication. You relish the chance to actively recharge, by yourself, in your own space and time. You also love a little solo or private project- often focused on education or research- and this week is a great time to get stuck into something like that, even a backlog of reading. I think you will enjoy discovering a great deal of new self awareness and emotional understanding about yourself too. It’s not often to get to focus purely on yourself. Cancel the parties, shut the front door, close the blinds, and enjoy a week of me, myself and I.

This is a perfect tarot card for you, Cancer, because it celebrates your natural strengths: patience, passivity, psychic ability, wisdom. Sometimes we need to be still and quiet to allow our mind, body and spirit’s intelligence and intuition to come together and create that spark of understanding, the alchemy of knowing. It's one of those woo woo weeks. BLISS. So, get comfortable, get your cards or crystal ball or guided meditations or runes out, and tune in to what lies within.

Chuck the schedule out the window, Leo, because it’s going to be a wild ride this week. And you’re more than ready for some fun, spontaneity, and surprises. The Three of Wands reveals the presence of unseen forces in your realm, nudging, guiding, and cajoling you towards unexpected people, places, and pathways. This week is not going to turn out or end up like you thought, and it’s all for the best. So let yourself be guided. Let the surprises unfold. Look out for the number 3! It IS a magic number and it serves as an omen for you this week, steering you towards your own enchanted pathways.

Do you know just how capable and proficient you really are, Virgo? You are the most organized, shrewd, smart, and efficient sign. If you can’t do it, then who can? The Nine of Wands is a huge reassurance that whatever you’ve been dreading, putting off, or overthinking, you will find it goes much swifter and easier than you think once you get into it. The trick is to make a fast start and then just keep going. So, start!

Power moves only this week, Libra. Think, talk, and act like a Boss. The King of Pentacles is walking beside you offering the wisest and shrewdest of counsel. Remember that the right road longer term is often the harder road short term, so don’t fall for the short cuts or easy options. Test yourself, push yourself, challenge yourself.
The decisions, applications, demands, projects, tasks, and efforts you invest in this week could lay the foundations for great riches and recognition in the longer term future. So think ahead. Be a Boss.

You are on the move, and potentially literally too! The Chariot brings about travel, new vehicles or modes of transport, movement, journeying, purposeful trips, home moves and location changes, but all of it comes with crystal clear intention and ambition. It’s a realization that the place you’re in has perhaps been outgrown or no longer offers what you crave and yearn for. So a look around, a journey, a change of scene is required. Experiment with this idea this week, go change your landscape and see what unfolds.

Put yourself in front of people with influence, unleash your ideas, apply and pitch, propose the new idea, create an invitation. You are about to latch onto a winning wave of good fortune which is not just about luck, it’s about you being consistently noticed, admired, and liked, and now folk are in a position to offer you something as a result. If you’re visible, you’re likelier to reap these rewards, so be a show off, highlight your best successes, show up and be social. What you are offered this week could lay the foundations for great success in the future. You deserve this.

Stop worrying and wondering what THEY think. Cap, you may never know, to be honest, you may never get the outcome, truth, closure, or opinion you so feel you need. Let it go. Instead, refocus your mental energy on your own sphere of influence- your thoughts, feelings, habits, actions, scope, capability, and options. What can be done there that will impact the situation you’re so hooked up on? Start close to home. Start with your own action. You can make more of a positive difference than you think.

The Wheel of Fortune is a powerful omen in the tarot deck, it foretells great change and transformation lies ahead. Potentially in several stages, so maybe what starts this week also shifts and mutates again in August, November, and February. It’s always best to start the ball rolling with an action or step that YOU want to take to manifest a change. Let the Universe know what you’re hoping for! Look out for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius folk too, they might be catalysts for what is coming.

Don’t fear The Tower. It is a forceful card and it can bring about shocking revelations or events but they are typically things that, deep down, you knew were a long time coming, and have been harboring dread about for a while. It’s like ripping a plaster off. A brief moment of pain, and then the healing begins. You can be a passive character and therefore perhaps not take the drastic steps that would benefit you. This week will show you what that step should be, and the Universe is kinda’ going to do it for you. Be grateful. This will all turn out for the best.
