This week, July 5, Mars goes to Taurus and that spells stubbornly†
Mars tends to be progressive, ambitious, assertive and forward-thinking… and Taurus can be more determined, patient, entrenched, so to speak.
It is like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object and therefore you might feel yourself stalling on matters that really require action.
You may feel frustrated. Know this will pass.
In the meantime, think about how you can actually make progress on your challenges when Mars moves into Gemini (a sign of solutions) in August.
Let the tarot guide you through the challenges you need to prepare an answer now, ready for the August mood swing.
Ahead, you’ll find your zodiac sign’s tarothoroscope for the week ahead, from July 3 to July 9, 2022.

Twin
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for this week: the hanged man
Meaning: The Hanged Man is a true limbo map, so you’ll feel quite stymied by this Taurus-inspired Mars. You’ve come to a dead end in your efforts, and really all you can do is take a break and sit for a while.

Tarot card for Scorpio for this week: Three of Swords
