Weekly Tarot Reading: June 29th to July 6th 2012

The Tarot reading for June 29, 2012 through July 6, 2012 encourages you to stand up for yourself if you want the situation to resolve to your satisfaction. However, ultimately, you'll have to go on faith and intuition as confusion will rule the day. This Celtic Cross Spread will guide you through the coming week, but you will have to rely on your instincts as much as anything.

Card 1: Five of Wands — You need to understand what true competition requires of you. Respect those who are your opponents but remember to stand up for yourself and your point of view. Don't be a victim and don't give in to anger, hate, frustration, or prejudice.

Card 2: Three of Cups — Too much or even too little celebrating will block your progress. Moderate yourself and your behaviors or there will be nothing left to celebrate. Showing too much or too little gratitude may be the root of the trouble, so be appropriate in your displays.

Card 3: King of Swords — You should value and pursue intellect and its power. All major changes in history were caused by ideas, and your ideas can be just as powerful. But you'll need to organize these ideas first.

Card 4: The High Priestess — You're going to have to trust in both your own intuition and the unseen forces that are affecting your life right now. There is much to be said for listening to your own inner voice. Seek out another intuitive person to help you if needed.

Card 5: Queen of Swords — Past ideas, especially those pertaining to independence, will affect the present situation.Use both information and ideas as weapons and try not to be held back by sentimentality. You'll have to take the lead on this, as the influence of someone who usually does this is starting to wane.

Card 6: Five of Cups — You may have to face a period of disappointment or rejection, possibly caused by walking away from someone or something. With a little forethought, you might be able to avoid making a crucial error. Either way, you may need some help to deal with the resulting emotions.

Card 7: The Devil — Trickery and temptation abound right now. Someone you trust may be lying to you about something important. Coose your words carefully and do not volunteer information. Everyone has ulterior motives so take heed. You should play to win.

Card 8: Nine of Pentaclse — Others see you as a naturally independent person, full of ideas, inspiration, and wisdom. However, they may also think you are a little shortsighted. Confound their expectations if you can.

Card 9: Two of Cups — You hope that you can get involved in a sincere and honest relationship, one where respect is important and emotions are exchanged freely. You fear is that you cannot establish with anyone, not in business or at home. Do what you can to overcome this fear for it is all that is stopping you.

Card 10: The Moon — You might have to deal with darkness, fear, and confusion. You'll have to start moving without a clear sense of which direction you should travel. Depend on faith, intuition, and the forces you cannot see to guide you.
