If there have been plans regarding career and ambitions, then you are very close to achieving it in the coming days. The Justice card is reassuring and spells the logical and right way ahead which is yours, to begin with. The Eight of Wands shows the amount of fire and go-getting attitude you possess and all that won’t go to waste given that the forces that matter are working to getting you to where you want to be. You might not feel any closer to your goals but trust the fact that all that is working behind the scenes to get it all together in the best possible manner. Primarily this has to do with work situations- expansions, new ideas, new directions and a host of leads about how to get to the big league. Do take time to prioritise so that you give everything a fair chance to work in the best possible manner.

Feeling gratitude for everything good in your life will help overcome major turbulent emotions you are likely to experience in the coming days. The Judgement card indicates that feeling a lot of gratitude and the appreciation of life will help you while you go through some emotional lows. The good feeling of gratitude will help elevate things in your mind and allow you to suppress or challenge the feelings of being overwhelmed. The card, Strength indicates this unsteady time. This is also a period of great learning because you will understand the dynamics of mind over matter. Cancel negative thoughts and replace them with three positive statements in your head. All you need now is great strength and clarity about your thoughts so that you don’t manifest the not so pleasant situations.

There are two things you will need to pay attention to — especially if you are a male and born under the sign of Gemini. The important women in your life and also the money that you have accumulated over the years. Both are substantial and both of these need to be nurtured and given importance given the fact that the key female energies apply to both — the actual women that surround you and the money which is female energy. The Empress shows that the binding elements in your life could be the mother, wife, sister or good friends and they need to be feted, applauded and show appreciation for the role they play in your life. The Seven of Pentacles is all about the comfortable position you are in regarding finances. Sometimes, it’s good to worship this energy and given appreciation too.

As you juggle through finances, you are also party to happy family situations. Family plays a big role in your life and this is accentuated right now. The Two of Pentacles shows that most of your expenses revolve around activities featuring family. Of course, much thought goes into your allocation for each thing but when you think of how much the family benefits you reach a happy state and don’t begrudge the spending. There are travels indicated again to do with family obligations which you are very happy to do. Overseas travels are indicated and again here is where you will be debating on what you will need to spend on. The Ten of Cups shows a lot of happy times with your loved ones. Enjoy this phase!

Most of your plans require a clear and logical mind to get them executed and implemented. The Four of Swords shows the amount of thinking going in at present to ensure that you create the kind of life you wish to live. This applies to all areas of your life. Meanwhile, the three of swords shows how you will need to think with a sharp and coldly objective manner to get things going. Working with the head and not the heart is the need of the hour. Ensure that you don’t get emotionally rocked for laying out rules and processes. The Four of Swords is also about lying on a bed of thoughts that are in the germination stage — for them to fully become big trees you will have to systematically run through them.

There are many battles to be won before you get the stardom you are seeking. The Four of Swords shows a battle within as well as outside of you. This can create a feeling of frustration and annoyance as everything seems ganged up against you. This is because you are in the battle mode and you feel unless you treat things aggressively people could ride roughshod over you. You can see the bright days ahead, but it is elusive and somehow out of your grasp. The Star card shows that despite you being so talented and accomplished you are running in the battle mode. It would be good if you go a bit easy on others and on yourself so that the transition towards all that limelight and stardom is smooth and easy. Don’t look for it, but take it for granted that it will come your way.

There are two things you would need to do at this point in time — be carefree and undertake adventures and look at the world in different ways and the other is to focus on things you would like to achieve on the work front. Both are very important for your well-being. The Fool card shows that while too much impulsiveness could lead to some tough situations; a bit of planning and letting go of things you have been holding on to need to be set free making you happier. The Ace of Wands shows that you are highly capable and talented, but you will need to make efforts to see things through. Consistency and keeping the fire alive is your responsibility. Take these seriously and you will make a difference to the world. The universe is also supporting your plans.

There are benefactors in your life who will prove to be the guiding light in your progress and future plans. It could be a person in a high position, a father figure or a powerful friend who can make things happen. The King of Pentacles brings money, power, and authority in your life. Recognise such people and make the best of their inputs. It will take you far. The Page of Wands is about looking at your off-springs and seeing how they will achieve things matching their talents and hard work. You need not worry because they are entirely capable of looking after themselves in the best possible manner and know how to make things work.

Between the things you want to achieve on the work front and that on the personal part, there is a lot you will be carrying making you feel heavy and overwhelmed. The Ten of Wands indicates the load you are carrying in your mind and body about the things you wish to achieve. And the Six of Wand shows that you are fixated on achieving both — somewhere, you feel you lack the time and that is why the hurry to do things. As you look at new avenues and directions you are also trying to balance your personal life which all put together could take a toll over your health. You are likely to experience back pain, heavy head, headaches and perhaps urinary tract infection. Take a lot of fluids to keep yourself cool and hydrated.

The illusionary fears you are experiencing is making you incredibly nervous and fearful. That is the influence of The Moon which will have you making things larger in your mind than it really is. Take a break and don’t listen to scary stories fed to you by people and things that could go wrong. Most of these are unreal and they are not going to happen. It is in your interest to always think of the best outcome instead of the worst. Having said that there is some big change ahead of you. This is because of the appearance of the Death card. This is something you might now be prepared for and again there is nothing to fear. Whatever is this, it is a lesson being taught to you as part of the karmic plan.

The predominant feeling now is that while seemingly there is everything in your life, to achieve this balance and grip over all these things is feeling like it is all elusive and you are not in control over things. The Magician shows that almost everything you wish for is right here and within your reach. But the Hanged Man makes everything complicated and feel like there are many obstacles to reaching your goals. The Hanged Man is also something that comes when you need to think out of the box when it comes to tricky situations. You will need to think creatively and differently to be able to bridge the gap between feelings and reality. Right now, it’s all good as you enjoy some relaxing times. Do not stress too much about getting things done. They will.
