1 Three of Wands 2 The Hanged Man 3 King of Swords 4 Page of Pentacles 5 The Sun

 Your hard work is finally paying off.  There are real signs of achievement in your latest venture and the signs are good.  As always, the Three cards indicate it is still early days in this, but you are enthused to go onward and upwards with this encouragement.

In the coming month however, things might not progress as quickly as you would like but it is important that you try not to push things before they are ready it is important to wait and your patience will be rewarded.  Use your time and energy in other ways whilst things are on hold.

Look out for an impressive intelligent man, this person is more than able to help you.  Be aware, though, that he is not terribly sensitive and some of his words may hurt and he may be dismissive of sentimentality.  His input can be very important and can help you considerably.

Whilst your project might be on hold before further progression, this will be a good month to research, read around and learn more about what you are involved in – this will help you to be ready when things start moving again.  Don’t just sit on your achievements and wait for things to happen.

All things are well at the moment and The Sun shines its light on everything you do; remember to keep things in balance, to enjoy the moment and your success and not to get too high on the hype around you.  Be grateful and be grounded to ensure that things continue to succeed for you.

1 Judgement 2 Eight of Swords 3 Six of Pentacles 4 The Emperor 5 Three of Cups

Behaviours of the past will re-emerge, good or bad, that will have an effect on your current situation.  It may even be you who are the harshest critic of yourself, but life generally brings situations around that have not been faced squarely and dealt with the first time.   Whatever you said or did in the past, may come up again and now is the time to do it differently if you weren’t happy with the outcome last time.

A difficult and tense time is likely to get worse if the issue at hand is not dealt with.  You feel that someone will inevitably get hurt if this situation comes to light.  Whilst this may be the case, it is better to deal with the situation with love and forgiveness rather than ignore it, let it fester because it is likely to just get worse.  A wound will only heal when it is treated properly.  You have the strength to face this issue and to get it sorted.

Whilst you may be having a difficult time emotionally, it is likely that there is someone around who can help you – maybe a gift or a loan, perhaps a bonus of some kind which will lift your spirits and restore your faith in humankind.  Make the most of this opportunity and be full of gratitude.

It may be time for you to be strong.  Strong without being arrogant, Confident without being aggressive.  You need to stand your ground and protect what you feel is right – confidence, with love and understanding, will prove a powerful force.

Finding a new balance within key relationships will prove to be a move worth celebrating and will bring those relationships to a happier place.  Perhaps there is confusion about boundaries, which, if made clear through communication and honest consideration, will help move things on.

Position 5  Key advice

 

1 Five of Swords 2 Seven of Swords 3 The Hierophant 4 Knight of Pentacles 5 Justice

There has been frustration and irritation about a situation which is inciting anger in you and a possible confrontation seems the only solution to you.  However, it may be best to consider whether fuelling this conflict is of any benefit to anyone – especially yourself.  Some battles are worth fighting for and some are best left alone to mitigate any unnecessary fallout and unhappiness.  Think carefully about bringing this trouble upon yourself and those around you.

Whilst issues around us cause anger and upset, there are generally two sides to every story.  It may be that you haven’t got all the true information about this situation yet.  It will pay to stay alert and listen carefully about what is being said and by whom to get to the real truth in this issue.  However, it is always worth considering whether your own words or actions have been misconstrued and been part of the problem.  Things are really not clear enough to be interpreted yet so keep your ears and eyes open for validation.

It may be that people come to you with all their problems and you get so involved that it is hard to break away.  If this is the case, compliment though it is, you also need help and guidance when you are struggling.  You don’t need to do this alone – find someone to talk to and who may help you sort out this situation.

It will be much better to focus on the real nitty gritty and to be very meticulous in your attitude this month.  Pay attention to detail in everything you do and put your all into anything you take on – regardless of whether you will be rewarded or not.  Sometimes our behaviours dictate the ultimate payment.

If you truly put effort into understanding those around you, and you put your ALL into everything you do, then Justice will prevail.  You will be rewarded after all your hard work, you will get the credit you deserve and an outcome which will be more pleasurable for all concerned.

1 Seven of Swords 2 The Magician 3 Ace of Pentacles 4 The Fool 5 Ace of Cups

Whether it is you that has not been completely honest or whether it is someone around you, it is clear that there has been some manipulation at play.  This is a difficult situation to deal with but it is not one that can be dealt with by applying pressure to those concerned.  You may need to use subtle ways to find out the truth of what has been happening.

There needs to be some choices made this month about what you need in your life and the direction you wish to take.  You have all the skills you need to succeed but you will need to look for signs to give you clues as to which road to take.

There may be a new lifestyle opportunity arising for you, perhaps you are a little bored with your situation right now.  You are still in the early stages of looking for something new and it may not be quite clear what those changes might entail but there is a lot of energy building around you, suggesting change.

It may be that The Fool is, on the one hand indicating that a change would be good for you, but on the other hand he will be pointing out that you need to be aware of the pitfalls of new adventures, so make sure you are considering every detail of these possible changes, that you make the best use of them when they arise.

You have a desire to grow a particular relationship whether it is one you are currently in (and take it to new heights), or a new one that has caught your interest.  There is a lot of energy around this new desire.  It is always exciting at the beginning of a new adventure and we can always justify why we want to do something, but you will need to make sure that this is really the right one to pursue.

1 Three of Pentacles 2 Three of Cups 3 Seven of Swords 4 Seven of Wands 5 Page of Pentacles

It seems there are real signs of your hard work in the past coming to fruition right now.  It is a thing to celebrate and be proud of.  Whatever the venture or investment is, there are indications that all the right decisions have been made so far.  As this is still in its early stages, it is not time to sit back and wait for things to happen, you should use this boost to motivate yourself to continue doing things the way you have to date.

A celebration of some kind is on the cards for August to do with you, or someone close to you, this will be something joyful such as a birth, an engagement  or other celebration regarding emotions.

It may be that someone around you is perhaps not being completely honest with you – this could be a member of the family, or a partner.  For whichever reason this is happening you will not find the answers by applying direct pressure.  Find a more subtle way of communication and listen carefully to what is being said and by whom.  This may be the time to look at your own behaviours to see whether you are being completely open within a relationship – we are often afraid to be honest about how we are feeling, to avoid conflict – but solutions can’t always be found if the problem isn’t aired.  You need to decide on the issues that need tackling but dealing with them in a frank and loving way will prove more productive.

You are feeling tired and have lost some enthusiasm for a project, a job, or a business and you are finding it difficult to stay committed.  It is important that you make a decision on what you need to work on. If you tackle just one issue properly and get it sorted, you will see the benefits.  By not knuckling down to finish the task in hand properly will make it much more difficult in the future.

Focus is needed on advice and learning on the business, work or ventures side of your life.  Whatever you are working on will benefit from some research or learning and some constructive advice from someone with knowledge in this field.  The signs for success are already there but it will only come when the right knowledge and experience is applied to the project.

1 Four of Pentacles 2 Five of Cups 3 Queen of Pentacles 4 Five of Wands 5 The High Priestess

In the past it may be that you have been very careful about your financial situation, keeping things to a norm without taking any risks.  Whilst this is a good thing at times, it also means that other opportunities are missed because there is a fear of them not working out.  Holding on to something too tightly could mean that you are not opening yourself to anything new, you could be avoiding opportunities which could mean a better standard of living.

If things on the romantic side are difficult at the moment then some work needs to be done to bring the relationship back on song.  By avoiding conflict or discussion, for fear of the relationship ending, you could also be avoiding bringing a happy solution to the problem.  With love and forgiveness on both sides there is more of a chance to resolve the issues.

The Queen of Pentacles demonstrates the qualities needed to be a provider of support financially, as well as physically and emotionally.  It may be that you are being called to pour more attention, affection and loving energy into your relationships.  If you yearn for financial independence, then that is what you should be working on and finding ways of achieving it, good things rarely come without some effort being invested into them.

Sometimes we can stagnate our own progress by allowing obstacles or hindrances to block our way.  The truth is, that any problems put in our way are to help us grow and learn.  If you feel that you are stuck with no way out then you need to apply thought and actions to get out of the situation.  The solution is firmly in your own hands.

The High Priestess indicates a new direction coming to the fore, it may be a spiritual awakening or just a new way of doing and looking at things, it is not clear just yet in what way that change is coming.  This month may not be the time to make important life-changing decisions – things will become clear as and when the time is right.

Position 5  Key advice

 

1 The Magician 2 Seven of Cups 3 Two of Pentacles 4 Nine of Pentacles 5 The Moon

What you have experienced in the past is now providing a clear sign of the way you don’t want things to be in the future – you are at a crossroads and you feel ready to go with it but you don’t know how.  If you feel that things are not moving forward as they should, you may need to consider ways of progressing what you want by being proactive.  The Magician indicates that you have all the skills you need to make these decisions and to follow through with the appropriate action.

It seems that there needs to be some effort put in to resolving some issues within a relationship.  The Seven cards are all about decisions and options and they suggest you carefully look at different ways to improve your situation.  There is nothing wrong with the relationship – this is about sorting the outside issues that are affecting it.

There is the possibility of an offer of financial help which should be used to the full to create a better lifestyle for you.  If financial opportunities arise for you it is important to make the best use of it to maximise the potential – money can make money.  On a relationship front it would make sense to optimise any income from both sides of the partnership.

With some effort and diligence on the financial front there are indications that you are likely to be a really positive place in terms of money.  This is as a result of all the hard work and effort you have put in and you should be reaching a stage where you feel very secure financially.  Enjoy.

The Moon card always depicts lack of clarity or confusion in a situation.  Things are not meant to be crystal clear right now.  Providing you are focused on keeping your head above water, emotionally, financially and physically you can afford to wait to see how things develop. Now would be a good time to listen to your intuition and to go with your ‘gut feelings’.

Position 5  Key advice

 

1 Four of Swords 2 Ace of Swords 3 Ten of Swords 4 Queen of Pentacles 5 Page of Wands

A recent trauma or difficult time has left you exhausted and unhappy.  Whatever the tragedy has been, it is important to understand that a period of time to recuperate and heal is imperative.  Whilst pain just hurts and overcomes us when it happens, it is a life lesson we need to learn from.  Whenever we face our demons and make a stand we are arming ourselves for a brighter future.  Take some time and find ways to make yourself feel better.

It is likely that recent events have also sparked a real change in attitude to life or religious beliefs or opinions about major things and this in turn could make current relationships (not necessarily romantic ones) that bit more difficult.  Those around you may not be able to see eye to eye with you on your current thinking.  However, we must all develop and learn through life and it is for you to make the decisions about your own beliefs.

Sadly it looks as though the trauma is regarding a key relationship and it has resulted in a bitter ending.  Painful as it is, the key to recovery is to understanding that this cannot be changed and instead of focusing on the ‘what if…..?’ attitude, it will help you to heal by accepting that this was meant to happen.  The only way to deal with this difficult situation is to realise that, for you, it is better now to look forward to new starts rather than backwards.

The Queen of Pentacles is an admirable person who can provide support for herself and others in a financial, emotional and physical ways.  It is time to embrace her qualities and believe in yourself and work to your own financial independence so you can feel the pride of achievement and success.  Focus on what your capabilities are and how to use them for yourself.

You are at the start of a new journey and it is gathering apace.  You may have an idea that appeals to you and there are signs that it could work for you.  It is important to research and to talk to knowledgeable people about it (even if they seem to criticise it – turn their negatives into positives).  Focus on the feasibility and make sure your aims are realistic.

1 The Star 2 Six of Cups 3 Two of Swords 4 Page of Pentacles 5 Nine of Swords

If you have had a period of waiting or hoping for better things then it is likely that now things may start happening.  The Star indicates a period of time when despite some sorrow there is hope and it is just a matter of time.  Keep your faith in the future strong and make sure you give yourself the sustenance to keep going.

Looking at past relationships with regret and longing to revive that relationship might be something you are focusing on right now.  Whether it is possible to revive this relationship, or not, the important thing is to not gloss over how it was in the past.  Be very honest with yourself about the true way things were between you and if you wish to give it another go then it should be with clearer vision and understanding of what went wrong last time.

The Two of Swords indicate anxiety about a relationship and that conflict is being avoided to ‘keep the peace’ if you like.  It is important to consider facing this issue and ways to tackle it rather than living in fear of ‘what might happen’.  Living with fear and anxiety within a relationship is as dangerous as dealing with the outcome of facing the conflict head on.

An idea of a business opportunity or a job/venture has sparked your interest and the signs look good with regard to it.  There needs to be a lot of work put in with regard to learning about this notion and it would be good practice to talk to experienced people within this field if you are to take it to the heights it could reach.  It will not progress without the effort being put in.

Whatever painful thoughts are dominating your mind at the moment, be aware that your own mind set is in your own control.  Feeling guilt, depression and anxious about the past will not help the present.  Sometimes the more it is dwelt upon the worse it appears to be.  Make an effort to shift your mindset to more positive thoughts.  Do not punish yourself too much, everyone makes mistakes – the way to overcome them is to make sure those mistakes are never made again.

Position 5  Key advice

 

1 The Emperor 2 Four of Swords 3 Four of Pentacles 4 Six of Pentacles 5 Three of Swords

A strong male personality has made a big impact on you in the past, this is someone who had quite a lot of input into your life.  It could be someone in a romantic relationship, it could be a father, brother or even the male side of your own personality but this strength and command has been playing a big part in your past.

The Swords suit teaches us that intellectual acceptance of tragedy can help to heal us, in that we can learn to reconcile the hurt in ways that will help us grow. Understanding the impact of the pain and how it affects us, and why, is important to overcome the personal issues resulting from such trauma.  It is time to understand that you have been hurt and that now you need to heal.

By holding onto financial security and not taking any risks you may be missing out on opportunities that can take you onward and upwards.  Of course it is right to be careful with money and it is right to protect the standard of living you have fought to achieve, but try to optimise other opportunities that could bring so much more to you.

Having said that, it is possible you may benefit in a financial way from an unexpected source and the financial constraints that have haunted you recently are backed up by this income.  Your faith in humankind is likely to be restored having been let down by someone in the past.

The Three of Swords indicates betrayal (in any sense of the word) –  and, since it is in the Key advice position, it is likely to be spotlighting times in the past where you have been let down. The positive message in this card is that, although it was painful, it is important to recognise that without that betrayal you would not be where you are today with the endorsement that you not only survived but found the strength to believe in yourself and create a better reality.

1 Six of Wands 2 King of Swords 3 King of Pentacles 4 Two of Swords 5 Four of Pentacles

At last!  After all the hard work and effort put into recent times there is concrete evidence that your input has created a lasting effect.  You are in the right place and doing the right things.  You should be recognised and be credited for your achievements and abilities.  The going was tough but you’ve proved you have the bottle – the only way is up.

There may be a male around you who is impressive and intelligent.  He is not terribly sensitive and his words can sometimes hurt but this person will play a large part of your life in August.  It might be the masculine side of yourself, however, that you may need to encourage to come out.  Using logic and less of your emotional self might be the way to deal with things this coming month.

Whatever the state of your relationship, The King of Pentacles is a great character to have around you, either as a physical partner or as a role model for your own behaviours.  Being methodical, diligent and a great provider in a relationship is worth its weight in gold.  He will suggest you both work hard to establish a secure foundation in your life to build on.

Whilst things may be going well in financial way it is important to not avoid issues that need sorting this month.  Avoiding conflict will create bigger issues that will take more to sort out than dealing with the problems in hand.  With two kings in the reading the advice might be to sit down and talk man to man – keep it straightforward and unflowery, logical and honest, so there is little confusion in what needs to be done.

Even though you have a sound financial situation, it is important to understand that growth will not happen if you hold on too tightly to what you have for fear of losing it all.  When we achieve success, and are doing well, we should be able to relax and enjoy that time without fearing for the future.  Great opportunities could be there for you if you free yourself from your self imposed restrictions and are occasionally prepared to try something different.

1 Seven of Pentacles 2 Seven of Cups 3 Death 4 Page of Wands 5 Ace of Cups

Something has given you cause to be concerned about your finances.  It is likely to be connected with your work or your home life and it is creating tension and anxiety.  The Seven of Pentacles suggest that a decision is necessary in this situation and naturally that decision could be making you worry that all could be lost.  This is true, but you could also have a lot to gain.  Providing your decision is backed up with research, and it is an informed decision, then you should go ahead confidently and make the most of this opportunity.

Decisions appear to be on the cards for your love life too.  The Seven of Cups indicates that things are a bit ‘up in the air’ and that it is not really clear what is going on.  There is only one thing we can really do when we don’t have clarity in a given situation and that is to focus on what you do know….that is, how you feel and what you need and want – not in a selfish way – but maybe it is time to be honest with yourself and be clear in your head about what is right for you.

The Death card in this reading has fallen in the State of Key Relationships position;  this does not necessarily mean the end of your romantic situation.  Given all the cards in this spread it may suggest that now is the time to make some changes – maybe alone – maybe together – what is clear is that the situation up until now is not progressing.  Leaving the old way behind and starting anew may be a difficult decision but living the old way of life and all its insecurities have not been allowing you to grow.  Even death cannot stop the sun from rising each new day.  Focus on the bright light of the future and leave the sad times behind.

The Page of Wands echoes these words – there is much to be gained in looking for a bright new start.  Talk with people who are experienced, research what it is that excites you and walk the new road with knowledge, care and attention.  Even if people dismiss your thoughts and ideas, you can turn negatives into positives to help you on your journey.

With the Ace of Cups we have exciting new feelings and desires.  By letting go of the past you are allowing wonderful new emotions and desires into your life.  There is lots of energy for a bright new adventure if you are ready to look forward not back.
