Getting Ready for the Aquarius July Reading
Alright, so today I decided to sit down and pull some cards specifically for the Aquarius energy coming up in July 2024. It’s something I like doing, just getting a feel for the month ahead for different signs, kind of a personal practice I’ve developed over time.
First thing, I needed some quiet. Went into my usual corner, the one with the comfy chair. Shut the door, told everyone to give me half an hour or so. You know how it is, need to clear the head a bit before diving in.
I grabbed my go-to tarot deck. It’s pretty worn, feels familiar in my hands, which I like. Didn’t do anything fancy, just held the deck for a minute, thinking about Aquarius and the month of July. Sort of setting the intention, asking “What’s the main vibe? What should they maybe keep in mind?”.
Shuffling and Drawing
Then came the shuffling. I shuffle quite a bit, maybe too much sometimes, until it feels ‘right’. There’s no science to it, just a feeling. I cut the deck into three piles, then put them back together in a different order. Did that a couple of times.
For this kind of monthly look, I usually stick to a simple three-card spread. Nothing too complicated. Past influence, current situation, potential direction. Keeps it focused. So, I spread the cards out face down and just let my hand hover over them for a second. Picked three cards that sort of called out to me.
Looking at the Cards
I flipped them over one by one. Didn’t immediately jump into meanings. Just looked at the images, the colors, the overall feel of each card first.
- The first card I pulled felt… well, a bit stuck. Like something needing a decision.
- The middle one had a different energy, more about balancing things out, maybe resources or values.
- The third one seemed like it was pointing towards needing to communicate clearly, maybe some planning involved.
This is the interesting part for me, seeing how they sit next to each other. Do they clash? Do they tell a story? Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes it takes a minute.
Figuring Out the Flow
So, I started piecing it together in my head. That first card, the ‘stuck’ feeling, maybe represents something left over from June, some indecision carrying over. Then the middle card, the balancing act, seemed like the core challenge for July – juggling stuff, maybe money, maybe time, trying to keep things fair and stable.
And that last card, about communication and planning? Felt like advice, almost. Like, the way through the juggling is to be really clear about plans, talk things through. Don’t just assume things will work out.
I wasn’t looking for super specific predictions, more like the general energetic weather forecast for Aquarius in July, based on what I pulled. It felt like a month needing conscious effort in managing resources and clear communication to move past any lingering indecisiveness.
Wrapping Up the Session
I spent a few more minutes just looking at the cards together, letting the overall message sink in. I usually jot down a few keywords or phrases in my notebook – just quick notes like “decision point,” “balance resources,” “clear plans.” Helps me remember the flow later.
Then, gathered the cards, gave them a quick thank you shuffle, and put them back in their box. Session done. Felt like a productive little check-in. It’s always interesting to see what comes up, just part of my routine now.
