This July brings some of the most significant astrological shifts we’ve seen in years. Uranus moves into Gemini for the first time since 1949, reshaping how we think, speak, and connect. At the same time, three major planets—Neptune, Saturn, and Mercury—turn retrograde, encouraging us to slow down, reflect, and reconsider our next steps.
It’s a month of big questions and powerful realizations. As the sky shifts, the Tarot can offer clear, practical guidance. Its messages help identify what is ending, what is beginning, and how to stay grounded through the transition.
Use this month’s Tarotscope to uncover insight, comfort, and direction. The guidance can be subtle, but when you listen closely it points the way forward.
