3 Zodiac Signs With Incredible Momentum Through July’s End (+ Tarot Advice To Make The Most Of It)

Everything is going really well, it almost feels like you have the Midas touch (King of Pentacles).

You’re learning new skills, drawing more people into your vision (Page of Pentacles), and making moves faster than ever before (8 of Wands). Let’s get into what that means for Virgo, Scorpio, and Aquarius for the rest of July! 

The cards drawn represent:

• Working For You: What’s working for you in the present.
• Working Against You: What’s working against you in the present.
• Your Hopes: What you’re hoping for.
• Your Fears: What you’re afraid of happening. 
• Advice: A Piece of advice on where you might look to go next or how to handle the personal part of the experience.

Virgo

Working For You: The Lovers. The choices you’ve made have brought you to where you are, and your life is impacted by who you love and bring into your life. You have a good, strong relationship that reflects your values and is healthy and resilient enough to weather what life can throw, even at a time of fast movement and momentum. 

Working Against You: Death. Change is the most inevitable part of our human experience, and part of change is having things come to an end. But what would our lives be like, if it weren’t for the old making way for the new? You’re not able to embrace the change that an end is bringing to you, and are trying to hold on to something that isn’t for you.

Your Hopes: Nine of Cups. You’re hoping for the absolute best, and the highest levels of emotional contentment. Your ideals are more centered on how you will feel and how you’ll be able to control your experience more than they are connected with external validation points. 

Your Fears: Page of Cups. You’re nervous about getting swept up and swept away in all the momentum of the moment. You are, after all, still a Virgo. Of course, you’re curious and open to emotional experience, but you’re also grounded in just how far you’ll let it sweep you away, especially if exploring where it leads might land you close to some of your shadow self’s realm.

Advice: King of Swords. Rise above. There will be times when it will be easy to allow yourself to get mired into the details of what is going on, but that’s not your task to take on. There’s a reason that the King of Swords is often pictured as sitting from a lofty angle, be it on a mountaintop or lost in the clouds. As the ruler of the suit representing intellect he’s able to see things with clarity, albeit from a high level.

Scorpio

There are so many major arcana cards in this one it merits a warning. When you see so many of the major cards (those that are unsuited, such as The Devil, The Tower, and The Empress), they bring with them an emotional weight and significance. Whereas cards in the suits deal with smaller life events, the major arcana cards represent large turning points or moments of intense archetypal experience.  

Working For You: Two of Pentacles. Working with competing priorities and under tight deadlines isn’t just a line in a job description – it’s been how you’ve been living your life. Your ability to be flexible, and keep multiple things in flight is nothing short of incredible. It’s part of why you have so much momentum in the first place. 

Working Against You: The Devil. Work hard, play hard, as they say. The flip side of your working hard, at break-neck speed, and with multiple projects is that you’ve been slipping into over indulgence to the point of creating some difficult to crack habits. 

Your Hopes: Eight of Pentacles. You’re hoping that you’ll be able to gather your skills and abilities towards mastery. You’re willing to put in the time and effort to look at things with a detailed eye and repeatedly practice the fundamentals, if you’re just given the time (and materials) to do so. 

Your Fears: The Tower. It’s so hard to think of everything we’ve built being upended in one fell swoop, and you’re afraid of any sort of upheaval and change, much less the kind that are completely life altering. You’re not looking to have your illusions shattered, or your world changed, Scorpio – you just want to continue to succeed, just the way you’ve been.

Advice: The Empress. While you’re juggling projects, major life milestones, and trying to master your craft, have you been caring for yourself, or is ‘self care’ an unchecked task far down on your list?

Aquarius

Working For You: The Magician. Resourceful and capable, there are very few situations lately in which you haven’t been able to take charge and make things happen. The sorts of problems you’ve been facing haven’t just been perfect for showing off your skills, but for sharpening them as well. The feeling of manifestation has been empowering and confidence-building, helping you to build a lot of the momentum you’ve been experiencing.

Working Against You: Six of Wands. There are instances where it doesn’t matter how impressive what you’ve done is, the recognition you deserve just isn’t there. Don’t let the lack of recognition stop you from doing all the work that inspires you. It doesn’t feel like it now, but it’s ultimately your opinion that will carry the most weight.  

Your Hopes: Seven of Swords. Ever the sharp thinker, you’re hoping that there’s a way you can think and strategize your way out of an otherwise difficult situation, and outthink any bad luck that might be coming your way. Think carefully about the implications of what you’re doing. 

Your Fears: Strength. Self-doubt has taken over where confidence should be, Aquarius. Your own capabilities and empowerment have become a blind spot, and it’s made it difficult for you to see the unbiased truth. This insecurity has left you risk-averse, fearing what the consequences of the ‘incorrect’ move would be. 

Advice: King of Swords. It looks like there’s a lot going on in your life right now, especially when it comes to how what is working for you (your own resourcefulness) can clash with the power of what is working against you, your own mind and how it harbors self-doubt. Often, that tension and conflict can disable our ability to make decisions, or engage with our world as fully. The King of Swords advises you to rise above those fears. Remember where you are and what you are working towards, and don’t lose your long-range vision due to short-term setbacks. Clarity of thought and purpose will help you navigate.
