Weekly tarot horoscope reading for July 6 to July 12, 2026

Neptune goes into a long retrograde this week which gives us pause for thought, time to re-evaluate our own blind spots, delusions, and secrets. Perhaps something is ready to surface?

Venus moving into practical Virgo gives us all the desire and ability to repair, heal and restore ailing relationships, so maybe these home truths can be useful and productive.

This is a week to realise how things really are, and go on to do something constructive about it.

Let the tarot cards guide you through the secret you’re ready to voice, and the action you should take.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for this week: Six of Coins

Meaning: You’ve bitten your lip for a while now, but you truly feel like you’re owed a favour (or two) by folk. You notice other people’s stinginess and selfishness more than most because you’re such a giving person. It stings when it is not repaid or even acknowledged.

What to do? Well, this was never a contract or a transaction, it was literally a gesture of good faith, and you got a buzz from doing a good turn, so that perhaps is all you will get. Don’t ask for more, it won’t arrive. Simply remove this person’s, or crowd’s, name from your hit list in future. Don’t be so ready to help. They don’t appreciate it and you can’t un-see that.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Page of Swords

Meaning: You are realising the ways in which you’ve hedged your bets, even strung someone or something along because you liked the idea of having it as an option, despite never wanting to commit 100%. The consequences of that procrastination are catching up now.

So, make a decision. Poop or get off the pot, as they say! It’s high time, and you already know, deep down, what you want to do. So just get on and do it. You can’t hold onto things you’re not going to need or use or appreciate, let them be enjoyed by someone else. Move along.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Fool

Meaning: You are about to get a huge wake-up call. This has been brewing for a while, but may have felt like frustration, boredom or just numbness. You have long outgrown something (or someone) and the symptoms of restlessness have been surging but you’ve pushed them back down.

It all comes to a head this week, and you leap into something completely new and off-track and unexpected. Everyone is gobsmacked! Just do it, Gemini, you don’t need a long-term masterplan, just the courage to leap into the unknown and keep on going. A new era is dawning, out of the blue but powerful all the same. This is it.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Six of Wands

Meaning: You’ve been way too cautious recently and talking yourself out of doing bold things, applying, asking, demanding or changing. You have spun new webs of self-limiting belief just to keep your shell hard and intact and remain in the comfort zone.

It’s breakout time, Cancer! You are blessed, lucky, fortunate, and full of magnetic charisma, and the good things you can see on the horizon are real, coming for you, and deserved. So say yes, go for it, put your name in the hat, have a go, join in. Don’t side-step away from the good life. Run towards it. Full throttle.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot card for Leo for this week: Judgement

Meaning: If you look in the mirror this week, you will see the truth written on your face plainly. Whatever you’ve been keeping to yourself, deep down, will surface and be clear to see. It’s a home truth, some kernel of self awareness about your true nature, traits, desires and beliefs. And it’s empowering.

You are ready to accept you are what you are, and live a life aligned with that. No more pretence or trying to fit in where you never will. No more shape-shifting or approval0seeking from dead sources. You are worthy. You deserve your limelight. Just find the right stage… I think you know where it is already. This is an awakening week.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Ten of Wands

Meaning: You don’t like showing weakness because you believe in stoicism, keeping going, and always doing your best. You never lapse when you could rise. But you are tired, Virgo. In fact, probably exhausted in some respect, be that physical or mental.

It’s time to take a break and use summer as a season of rejuvenation and relaxation, of letting your mind, schedule and lifestyle recalibrate around your new energy levels and needs. We all evolve. You have changed but kept the same routines and rituals. They don’t really suit you anymore and change is needed, but first rest is needed. A tired mind doesn’t come up with good ideas, after all.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for this week: Six of Cups

Meaning: Truth is, your mind has been wandering to the past a lot more than you like to admit. Maybe it’s a romantic past life you’ve revisited, or a long lost friend or family member, or even a place or role you can’t let go of.

Ask yourself why, this week. Ask yourself what might still be worthy of rekindling or reinventing in your present day. Because, deep down, at an intuitive level, you truly think there’s something there still. Go find out.Nothing to lose. You can always let sleeping dogs lie back down again. But if you don’t conclude this story one way or another, you’ll always wonder.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Temperance

Meaning: Presenting a strong, assured, fearless front to the world is your default mode. Everyone thinks you’re impenetrable. However, you feel quite insecure sometimes, like you’re not stable enough in your foundations or home realm. You yearn for certainty, clarity and commitment, but never ask for it because that’d be weak, in your mind.

Scorpio, if certainty and commitment is what you need, then you’re worthy and entitled to ask for it. We all need to know where we stand, what the label is, what the long-term plan looks like. Find your foundations. Ground yourself. Get clarity on the things that make you feel insecure, get the truth either way because then you can live in tune with that reality vs a dreaded, but imagined, scenario that may never unfold.

This is a week to pin down the stuff that matters most and make it feel safe and strong. And the way to do it might well be for you to be vulnerable and make a commitment. It’s a two-way thing.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: Page of Cups

Meaning: A childhood memory, whim or passion is reigniting within you and will burst into bright flame this week, demanding your attention and bringing a great deal of wonder and affection back with it. So let yourself be led back to your childhood and gaze around at the realm. What moves you? What had you forgotten? What feels like it deserves a place, a role an acknowledgement in your life now?

Your inner child would be amazed at how strong, capable and assured you are, compared to how they felt as a kid. You can do so much good for ‘little you’, and it’s always healing, heartwarming and cathartic to do so.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Knight of Coins

Meaning: You don’t think you’re getting what you deserve, which doesn’t surprise me really, because you work very hard — and to a very high standard, too. You are diligent and expert and prolific. The problem is that your high output has become the ‘new normal’ and therefore you bust a gut for the same payback or recognition as others.

It’s time to recalibrate, be that renegotiating the rate or pace of work, looking at new roles, or stepping down your productivity a notch for an easier ride. This might even not be about work, but at home or within your family. It’s important that you are receiving fair returns for your investments of time and energy. Make that a priority right now. Take steps to redress the balance and see what happens.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Page of Wands

Meaning: You’ve been feeling too stifled and constrained recently and you’re dying to kick back, play it reckless, and lead a more spontaneous way of life. It’s how Aquarius rolls! So, let’s make this summer one of freedom, travel, exploration, following your instincts and saying yes to new invitations and ideas each day.

Take time to know your must-do chores and priorities, and make them defaulted and streamlined so they happen easily and swiftly. This will free up more time and energy for you to do things which please and delight you, and that’s important. When you feel your wings are too tightly clipped, you get snappy and a bigger blow-out is likely. Avert this crisis by making adjustments now. Trim your commitments and schedule. Make time for play.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Death

Meaning: You are really ready for a change. You haven’t said this to anyone because you don’t want to upset or offend anyone, but you already feel that you’re halfway out of the door, certainly emotionally.

You’ve withdrawn and are ready to pivot onto a new path. The part of you that loved or engaged with what you’re doing right now has pretty much died off, you’ve already grieved it, and you just want the green light to go, go, go. So do it!
