This week, July 5, Mars moves into Taurus and that spells stubborn.
Mars is usually progressive, ambitious, assertive and forward-facing… and Taurus can be more resolute, patient, dug-in, so to speak.
It’s like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object and therefore you might feel yourself grinding to a halt over issues that actually need action.
You might feel frustrated. Know that this will pass.
In the meantime, think about how you might actually make progress on your challenges when Mars moves into Gemini (a sign of solutions) in August.
Let the tarot guide you as to what challenges you need to prepare a response to right now, ready for August’s change of mood.
Ahead you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the week ahead, July 3 to July 9, 2022.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for this week: The Magician
Meaning: Mars is your ruling planet – so this transit might actually bring some benefit to you.
You can use this impasse or limbo to really get super creative about some lingering issues that have bothered you for a while this year.
The Magician brings innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity to your world, so put it to good use and focus it on the things which have gotten in your way.
Turn problems to opportunities, see the openings created by changes, spot the silver linings to amplify and work with. Come August, you’ll be unstoppable!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for this week: Eight of Wands
Meaning: You’ve been the subject of crossed wires, mixed signals and poor communication, and being caught in that cross fire has created problems for you all round.
You want to get to the bottom of it, but it’s hard as this isn’t a problem of your own making.
The Eight of Wands asks you to talk to others about what’s going on, get their take and ideas on how to fix it. The more eyes on this, the better.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: The Hanged Man
Meaning: The Hanged Man is a true limbo card so you feel pretty thwarted by this Mars in Taurus vibe. You have hit a dead end in your endeavours, and actually all you can do is take the pause and sit a while.
As you do, think about things from another angle, a new perspective, a different outlook. Pretend you’re reviewing your life through the eyes of another. I promise that there’s an interesting take in there that will unlock your next steps in August.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for this week: Four of Cups
Meaning: Everything you need to address your issues or obstacles already lies under your hand – you’re just not seeing it, and therefore not using it, and therefore not tackling it.
The Four of Cups asks you to reconsider your advantages, gifts, strengths and positives. Spot something you’ve overlooked, because it’s super valuable, and work out how you can deploy it to address a major issue this week.
This is easier than you think.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for this week: The Hermit
Meaning: Use this blocked Mars in Taurus energy to retreat from the battles you’re fighting and take a break, behind closed doors, in privacy, away from the heat and noise.
The Hermit advises some alone time to reboot, recalibrate and recharge. You need a period of quiet and solitude to really think things through and make a robust plan of action.
Take yourself and your life seriously. Make up a strategy that you can kickstart this week.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for this week: Seven of Swords
Meaning: You always try to solve problems, heal wounds, and make things better. But not everything is your problem or your duty to fix.
The Seven of Swords sees you trying to resolve the unresolvable, and it’s exhausting.
Step back this week. Let Mars in Taurus grind the forces at play here to a halt, and let things fall apart or collapse. Only then can they come back together in a new, more positive or sustainable way.
You can’t force this. Let time do its work instead.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for this week: Ace of Wands
Meaning: You’ve been experiencing growing pains as a result of needing a new hobby, routine, goal or activity to get your teeth into.
You’re an Air sign, and new stimulus is always required, but you’ve yet to figure out exactly what that looks like. It’s okay, Libra. Chill. Don’t feel like you have to get this up and running right away.
Let things simmer. Let your mind work through options sub consciously, and the right idea will emerge.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Three of Swords
Meaning: You are a creature of revenge. I wouldn’t cross a Scorpio, no sir. Well, someone did, and they are surely going to regret that, but the Master Plan is currently on pause.
The Three of Swords shows you dwelling on this, and actually you’d be better off and happier if you put that energy into processing your feelings, letting go of them, and distracting yourself elsewhere.
Consider just removing this source of pain, vs punishing it. Revenge usually only leads to more trouble…

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for this week: The Lovers
Meaning: You are feeling angry with yourself because you’re confused and conflicted about what you want, and without knowing what you want it’s kind of hard to manifest it.
The Lovers sees you encountering a head vs heart scenario, possibly a temptation away from a trusted or loved person or place. You feel torn. It is bugging you.
Sag, don’t take any action, don’t follow a temptation. Just let this rest a while, and let your feelings simmer down. Prioritise figuring out what you want, and know it might take a while to truly emerge, but trust that it will.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for this week: Nine of Coins
Meaning: You’ve hit a snag in your long-term strategy to achieve something important in life.
The Nine of Coins sees you happily making steady improvement and working your way towards a really rewarding, material goal (work, money, home, or health).
Mars in Taurus brings a snag, a delay, a frustrating block. Don’t worry and don’t try too hard to unblock it.
Time will loosen the knot and then you can swiftly unpick it and carry on with your work. Wait until something changes before you attempt to do that.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for this week: Two of Coins
Meaning: So much going on, so many demands and invitations and opportunities and situations. Yikes!
It’s busy, Aquarius, and you’re feeling a little stretched, but don’t worry. Don’t have a hissy fit and cancel loads of things just because you want to make a point. Don’t let Mars in Taurus make you cut off your nose to spite your face, because it could.
The Two of Coins asks you to go with it, keep being busy, take it on the chin. All of this is going to come to fruition in a beautiful way and you’ll be glad you stuck it out. Don’t give up.

February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for this week: Queen of Cups
Meaning: Whatever maddening or stressful situations arise this week, Pisces, just sail on through it with good grace, high hopes, and the faith that all will be well. It will!
The Queen of Cups asks you to pay extra-special attention to yourself this week and schedule pamper time, relaxation, treats and fun. Having something to look forward to will help buffer the impact of any Mars in Taurus shenanigans. You’ll remember that you have got (better) places to be!
