Weekly Tarot Reading: June 23rd to June 29th 2012

The Tarot reading for June 23, 2012 through June 29, 2012 might seem a little frightening at first glance. It starts with the Death Card, a card that often intimidates novice readers. However, this card is actual very positive in the first position of the Celtic Cross Spread. This reading ends with the Seven of Swords, which can indicate opposition. Usually, however, this opposition can be overcome.

Card 1: Death — You need to transform yourself and/or your situation, and sooner rather than later. Act immediately for best results. If you really cannot change the situation, you'll have to let it go to avoid negative consequences. Sometimes the old really does have to make way for the new.

Card 2: The Fool — Forces that you can't control surround you and you have a choice. Either fight these or trust in them. If you focus on the moment, other things should take care of themselves. A person in trouble may need your assistance to avoid disaster.

Card 3: Eight of Cups — Make sure you are aware of the physical, mental, or emotional sacrifices that can and probably will be involved in the present situation. Consider the gains to be had, and don't avoid sacrifice just because it might be uncomfortable.

Card 4: Six of Wands — Learn to use victory to your advantage. It will last longer if it is shared with all who made it happen. These people can help you prepare for future challenges. This isn't the time to strike out on your own. Also, make sure you want what you're after before you're too committed.

Card 5: Ten of Cups — You've likely been successful in the past, and this success has brought about much success. Your reputation is solid and almost untouchable. The influence of a successful person may be starting to wane, but you can succeed on your own in dealings with friends, relatives, and business associates. In fact, these individual successes will be crucial to the larger situation.

Card 6: Page of Swords — Information and ideas are important, and you will soon find yourself encountering these things. Some of these things will take you by surprise and your ability to communicate may be tested. Gossip, privacy, and discretion, probably relating to a young person, will be involved, so think before you speak.

Card 7: Knight of Swords — Ideas can be made real, but plans that don't go your way may lead to aggression or defensiveness. Help may be given, but only in return for something of equal weight, so be prepared to lend a hand in order to curry favor.

Card 8: Seven of Cups — Most others may think you are confused and distracted, possibly caught in your own little daydream, but there are a few who see you as inspired. These few may come in handy. However, someone important may think you are hiding something and refuse to help you when the time comes.

Card 9: The Sun — You hope everything will turn out well, almost perfectly, but fear that this may be a little too much to expect. Ideas and goals are great, but you should note that it is the enjoyment of the journey that is most important. The destination is only a product of this journey.

Card 10: Seven of Swords — Take a moment to evaluate the opposition and don't underestimate its strength. Be aware of prejudice, fear, and deceit, but also realize that logic and persistence can win the day. You may have to use all your reserves to win, but winning is certainly a possibility.
