July 2024 is here and the astrology hints at a month filled with chaotic events, where logic seems to take a backseat, and emotions run high. (Although you probably guessed that after a certain Supreme Court ruling that was announced on July 1.) We might find ourselves facing unexpected challenges, witnessing dramatic shifts in our personal lives and on the world stage, and navigating through a whirlwind of experiences that test our resilience and patience.
I do my best to relay positive information regarding astrology and tarot on public forums because fear-mongering doesn’t get us any closer to solutions. But even I have to admit that the astrology for this month is…less than ideal.
My advice is to find your center this month. Better yet, be the center of the storm. Focus on remaining grounded and calm. This is why, for the July 2024 Tarot Spread, we are focusing on centering ourselves and seeking support from our community.
Card 1: Present StateThis card represents your current situation and emotional state as you enter July 2024. It sets the tone for the reading. If it’s a court card, it will represent you, any other card will represent your situation.
Card 2: Chaos and ChallengesCard Two reveals the specific areas of your life where chaos, conflict, or challenges are likely to arise. Look past the card’s general meaning and analyze the imagery. I recommend using the classic Rider-Waite deck. At the very least, avoid a minimalist tarot deck. An example of looking into the imagery — if you pull the Six of Swords, you might have issues near a body of water (going to the beach, kayaking down a river, etc). Card Two will help you anticipate and prepare for turbulent events.
Card 3: Support and CommunityThis card highlights the sources of support and community that will be most beneficial to you during this time. It points to where you can find comfort, guidance, and solidarity. If this month proves to be a tough one on a personal level, don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you know a friend is struggling, reach out to help. Be there for each other.
Card 4: Inner CalmCard Four shows how you can cultivate inner peace and maintain your calm amidst the chaos. It offers advice on practices or mindsets that will help you stay centered.
Card 5: Unexpected EventsThis card warns of any sudden, unexpected events that could occur. There will definitely be scandalous events on the world stage, which may or may not personally affect you. This card will provide insight into the nature of these events and how they might impact you.
Card 6: Finding Ease This card indicates the areas of your life where you can find ease and simplicity. People usually say “Don’t take the easy way out.” Ignore that advice for July. Look for easy. The world is complicated enough. This card will guide you on where to focus to bring more tranquility and relief into your daily routine.
Card 7: Guidance for the MonthThis card provides overall guidance and advice for navigating the month of July. It encapsulates the main message or lesson you need to keep in mind to get through this challenging time successfully.
While the external world may seem unpredictable and overwhelming, your inner world can still be a sanctuary where calm and clarity can be found. I hope this July 2024 Tarot Spread helps you in centering yourself, anticipating challenges, and seeking the support of your community. Share your experiences with others and create a supportive network where you can all grow together. Community and inner peace are our greatest allies.
