First, The Wheel … then Death … and the Devil … And the Changes just keep on comin’ with the Tower!  Don’t try to hold on too tight because this is one time you ought to roll with it, come what may.  The energies from that Sagittarean Blue/Full Moon on the Summer Solstice are huge waves of transition and transformation fanning outward now.  It is likely that some people/situations that you have counted on as being there for you may no longer be there in quite the same way.  Perceptions are a-changin’.  You will be able to replace them with some more realistic and reachable dreams and goals if some fantasies fall apart this month.  Dreaming is important, but it’s also important to be living in reality.  Keep in mind that you have all the resources you need inside you to deal with life and to achieve what you want to do, and you will get through this time without a serious problem.  Just keep cool, because tempers might be flying today … take care with your words, don’t make assumptions, and think before you speak … Silent reflection is your sanctuary.  Continue the conservative track with your finances and deal with any problems in a straightforward manner.  This is a time when a relationship might end, so if this relationship is important to you, then now is the time for damage control.  Pay attention to what you are doing with your health, as it is critical now.  Be careful to minimize your stress wherever possible.  Allow yourself relaxing downtime, but ease up on the alcohol and drugs today as these things will not be enjoyable today.  Remain upbeat and positive.

Your focus is paying off.  People around you appreciate you and your efforts and notice the quality of what you do, even when you don’t get paid.  You’re on the right track; keep doing what you’re doing.  This is an extremely positive card relative to work and career.  Your work is appreciated and generally well regarded, and that’s a very good place to find yourself.  If you are seeking employment, this card hints that you can expect success fairly quickly.  In relationships, people see you in a positive light as someone who has the qualities that they are looking for … even if love hasn’t quite developed yet.  If you’re dating, you’re likely to meet someone through work or through their work.  Stay sharp!  Your finances are looking healthier and this card can mean that your proverbial ship has come in, though you still must do your part.  Your health is also taking a positive turn for the better.  You are reaping rewards from the work you have done and the quality of it.  Keep upbeat and moving forward to ride this wave of Abundance.  Spiritually, learn more about rituals from the past to deepen your spiritual understanding and practice.

Acting on yesterday’s choices, we strike a balance through collaborative efforts in the business or personal realms, or both, with a partner.  Being forceful in action is not required; gentle give-and-take today furthers achievement of your goals.  Experience a smoother work day as you continue to explore the right fit.  Keep cool and keep moving forward.  In your meditation today, don’t hesitate to ask the Universe for what you are truly due or worth.  Energy work aimed at balancing the chakras and/or mind, body and spirit and will improve body health when done today.  A spiritual partnership with another might be just the thing to make expanding your horizons more of an exciting adventure.  Taking the time to care for yourself spiritually and emotionally is essential to enjoying spiritually successful relationships with others.  Your rebalanced self is Square One.

This card has everything to do with how you are bound spiritually to the material, and so you must look beyond superficial appearances and go deeper into the truth and meaning of a situation.  If you are feeling restrained, know that you always hold the keys to your freedom in your hands.  Don’t give up hope.  No matter what your situation is, you always have options to choose from.  First, don’t let other people tell you that your options are limited.  If you come to that conclusion, be sure that you are coming to it on your own.  Regardless, it will be crucial to remember that you can free yourself from whatever restrictions are holding you back, at any time you choose to do so.  You may have the feeling now that you are not in control of your life.  Sometimes, this happens as a result of your own actions, but more often as a by-product of inaction.  So, take action, take whatever steps you can to give yourself the feeling, however slight, of being in control.  Even if that is merely making a choice on what you are going to have for dinner.  Small steps are important, too.  If you’re feeling trapped at work, consider whether or not the trade-offs are worth it and choose to act.  You are not trapped unless you choose to be trapped.  Same approach with your relationships.  Take steps to keep the magic alive, or choose to end the codependence and take a breather.  Keeping a positive mindset is of the utmost importance right now.  Positive affirmations are important and will benefit you.  Take a look at who you surround yourself with … are they upbeat and positive, or overly critical and fault-finding people who nitpick you to the point of you feeling depressed?  Take stock and take action.

Today is a great day to stroll down Memory Lane and allow nostalgia to be the lens for looking back on how things used to be.  This isn’t about getting stuck in the past; this is just a wistful reverie.  When we were younger we felt more creative in the moment … so allow that same creative fire infuse your day, whether you’re at work or at home.  Dream with your partner … what kinds of goals do you both want to achieve to manifest the future you envision together?  But, if you’ve run across your Old Flame, think long and hard about whether to re-start up this emotional relationship:  Exes are exes for a reason.  If you’re thinking of investments to make, look to things that are retro, nostalgic or that appeal to children.  Money can come to you today through someone from your past or through inheritance.  On some matters, like your health, where you’re experiencing problems, answers might be found when you retrace back to your own childhood to examine where the roots of your physical problems might lie.  Our emotions are very much tied to our physical well-being, you see.  Perhaps these insights will lead to discussions with family members about the physical problems that they have faced.  Spiritually, ritual can be helpful to you now.  You may find beauty and meaning in recreating some of the spiritual rituals that you knew as a child.  Updating and reinventing your old traditions will serve you very well at this time.
