“Fine Tuning Skills to be a Worthy Competitor”
What skills do I bring his week? The Scholar
Where do I need to focus my efforts? The Forgotten
Benefit gained: Five of Wands
The Scholar wants you to bring your well-tuned investigative abilities to everything you encounter this week. You naturally apply a Virgo-like approach to any puzzle, possessing the ability to examine situations from all angles to find answers. If you come up empty, you don’t hesitate to ask for a fresh set of eyes for perspective. However, a self-defeating attitude undermines your efforts-you lose the game before you even try. Apply The Scholar's self-analysis qualities by digging deep and researching where you might be failing to give your all.
​
The Forgotten suggests you may feel lost in the shuffle, believing you have nothing valuable to contribute -your attempts are just being drowned out by noise. You struggle with making successful transitions or taking opportunities in fear of getting it wrong. Falling into avoidance because you’re scared of comments, criticism or conflicts. Funny thing is, you actually want to get in the mix but at a certain point have to stop thinking about it & just take the leap. If you mentally obsess about others' opinions or comments, you'll remain forever trapped in internal battles, feeling irritated and defeated. There’s always going to be pushback & smack talk, don’t let that stop you. Discover exactly what's causing your anxiety or what annoys you to the point of distraction, then address it.
​
5 of Wands represents survival of the fittest, indicating the benefits gained when you redirect your attention toward self-improvement. By focusing your efforts on developing yourself and your skills, you build confidence and spark motivation rather than allowing internal battles and trivial annoyances to derail you. These are the challenges to overcome before success is gotten. Use your natural observation skills to pick up tricks from the competition, picking out what works ones so you can use later. Allow it to spark a fire to get in the ring, take your shot & to eagerly compete with the best of them. If you fail, you learn something valuable for next time, fine tuning what you need to be better prepared to face potential difficulties while showing everyone what you're truly capable of.

“Initiating the Conversation for Reunion”
Problem/Issue: The Joyous IChing 58
What Hinders: Queen of birds -4 of Coins
What Helps: King of Books-Dreamtime-3 of Wands-Whale
Numerology: 2 + 6 = 8
This week attempts at coming together (2) for open communications may be met with resistance. Dragonfly, a territorial creature of water & air, hints you may need to shift your emotional perspective to create genuine change, foster receptive interactions, and restore goodwill through friendly exchanges. Its appearance indicates a powerful (8) positive change can occur if you are open to it, even while working within the limitation of others (6). Perhaps others have used your words against you, as justification for closing their hearts, or you've done the same to them. There’s a genuine need to create space for personal expressions or perspectives different from your own. Kind, gentle words are essential, although perspectives need not be in perfect agreement or alignment with yours for a peaceful reconciliation. The Queen of Birds turns her focus inward, unwilling to let go of anything, choosing instead to hold onto old grudges, biases, and prejudices. Closed off, she refuses to meet halfway or shift her thinking. Preferring to maintain a skewed memory of events, protecting only her own perspective and wounds as valuable. Queen of Birds may represent a mother figure or close female in your life. Reinforced by the 4 of Coins, she keeps her thoughts private, communicating only the bare minimum-keeping it to dry facts or curt commands. Her resistant behavior towards change, is hardly the generosity of spirit we are looking for. In contrast to the Queen, the King of Books-shares everything he knows. Dreamtime represents creation through sound—here suggesting the initiation of conversations that discard patterns impeding the creation of your desired reconciliation. Being the bigger person (King to Queen) and breaching the standoff is the first step towards letting go and becoming receptive to this change. Miracles are possible when you can let your heart & imagination flow freely allowing yourself to take risks in expressing yourself. Whale suggests changing the environment could be helpful—the King indicates it should be someplace where you can be alone in the quiet. Breaking the surface tension can introduce fresh perspectives (3 of Wands) offering a creative vision focused on a more cooperative future. You may have to put yourself out-there- an extension of yourself in good faith, anticipating that goodness will be returned to you.
Guidance for July 13, 2025:
“Tricky Circumstance to Trip you Up”
Sometimes, beyond anyone's control, plans do not go smoothly, and we cannot get where they want to go. Frustrating slowdowns appear– whether from accidents, conflicts, or obstacles of every kind. Stalled, we are forced to adapt to the limitations imposed upon us. Gemini energy strives to adjust to this rocky landscape, encouraging mental flexibility regarding what you're capable of achieving under such challenging conditions. You don't have to abandon your goals or dissolve your dreams simply because initial plans have failed. There's no need to sell yourself short due to another's incompetence or lack of teamwork. Overwhelmed, you may feel that you’ll have to shoulder all this on your own since others are unreliable. However, Epoch indicates that you may be down, but you're certainly not out. Just keep your head. That may prove a bit difficult given the circumstances but take a quiet minute to collect your thoughts away from additional chaos and recenter yourself. Accept this momentary pause—unwelcome as it may be—as an opportunity to acclimate and plan your next steps. Inspiration may spring forth in this space of seeming inaction & perceived disaster.
The situation: The Afflicted Gemini/Mercury/ Capricorn/Saturn
Don't do this: Sacrifice/ 3 of Pentacles Reversed
Do this: Epoch/4 of Swords Reversed
Guidance for July 6, 2025:
“Juice Is in The Journey; Not the Destination”
What you want? Knight of Pentacles
What are you fighting against? Ace of Cups
What will you leave behind? The Chariot
Knight of Pentacles reveals your serious desire to be on the road towards improved circumstances (health, finances, material comforts) making some real tangible gains. You’re prepared to invest your time wisely, knowing it can be a slow, methodical process. You’ll want to approach this with practical dedication - paying attention to details while avoiding any unnecessary risk. Anything worth doing, takes time & sustained effort to make advancements, but movement can be slower than you’d like. Getting momentum going may be a frustrating challenge. Both The Knight of Pentacles & the Chariot share a singular focus and an unwillingness to compromise. Chariot represents a win at all costs mentality that leaves no room for doubt, absolutely “Hell-Bent” on getting what they want. Chariot wants to get this done as effectively and efficiently as possible. However, the true "juice" lies in the journey itself, not simply reaching the destination. The Ace of Cups challenges you to weigh how you've spent your time in the past and whether it brought genuine fulfillment. This card suggests tremendous potential for emotional clarity & true contentment but warns that these gifts might be overlooked in your relentless pursuit of victory & material goals. Are you racing to the finish line to avoid such a thing? There may be profound emotional or spiritual insights—perhaps healing—that you're unconsciously avoiding. The current lack of momentum invites you to grasp & appreciate the richness of the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or rushing towards the future. While I do feel success will be gained, you’re invited to enjoy & savor the process; you’ll gain so much more than racing to the end. If you did that, you'd miss the transformative "juice" that flows through the middle of your experience. It takes time …..but you’ll have it.
