Your 2020 Summer Tarot Reading
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
General Reading: 8 of Cups
For Fire signs, this summer is about releasing what no longer serves you to make room for fresh beginnings. Your courage and passion will light the way, and your bravery will be a key asset as you step away from the past. Embrace change with steady conviction, even if letting go feels difficult.
Love Reading: 7 of Swords
Be mindful of who and what you allow into your life this season. With many things in flux, keep your integrity and aim to complete tasks and commitments—especially in matters of the heart. The 7 of Swords warns against taking shortcuts in relationships; stay honest with yourself and others about what you truly value.
Career & Finance: Queen of Wands
The Queen of Wands brings confidence, independence, creativity, and dynamism. This is a promising card for your professional and financial life: pursue your ambitions with charisma and self-assurance. Your creative energy and leadership can help you manifest the career and wealth you desire this summer.
Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
General Reading: 9 of Cups
This season encourages Water signs to explore dreams, desires, and inner longings. You may find yourself daydreaming or imagining a different future. Those wishes are within reach, provided you come back down to earth and take practical steps to make them happen.
Love Reading: The Hanged Man, Reversed
If love felt paused recently, the reversed Hanged Man suggests movement is returning. Progress may be gradual rather than instant, but this card indicates that forward momentum is building. Keep clarifying your desires and remain patient—this season offers progress toward what your heart wants.
Career & Finance: The Empress, Reversed
Financial abundance may feel a bit delayed this summer. The Empress reversed hints at a temporary pause as you refine your goals and align with your deeper wishes. This is not a permanent setback—focus on inner growth and planning now, and the prosperity you seek is likely to follow when timing is right.
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
General Reading:Judgement, Reversed
Air signs may face self-doubt or overthinking this season. Your intellect is a strength, but too much analysis can stall progress. Use this time to clear mental clutter and avoid letting second-guessing keep you from acting on meaningful opportunities.
Love Reading: The Tower, Reversed
Love may feel stagnant or unsettled, but the reversed Tower suggests no sudden catastrophic changes are imminent. Instead of expecting upheaval, focus on self-care and steady emotional growth. Redirect energy into personal development and the clarity provided by addressing judgment and doubt.
Career & Finance: 4 of Pentacles
This card points to a cautious approach to resources. You may be guarding your time, energy, and money more closely this summer. While prudence can protect what you’ve earned, remember that occasional generosity toward yourself or others is healthy. Balance saving with small rewards so you don’t become overly restricted.
Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
General Reading: 6 of Pentacles
Generosity and balance around giving and receiving are highlighted for Earth signs. You may feel especially inclined to support others or contribute to your community. This is a positive period for sharing resources and fostering mutual support, but be careful not to overextend—preserve your own boundaries as you give.
Love Reading: Temperance, Reversed
Relationships may need recalibration. The reversed Temperance suggests a lack of balance or mismatched expectations, so focus on self-care and small adjustments before diving deeper into commitments. Restoring equilibrium through personal boundaries and gentle self-love will help you engage more healthily with partners.
Career & Finance: The Emperor
The Emperor signals leadership, structure, and financial growth. This is a prime time to step up in your career with confidence and authority. Trust your skills and take decisive action—demonstrating responsibility and vision could lead to notable rewards by the end of summer.
