If you don’t feel ready to jump into the second half of 2024, the cards are here to help you get ready! This month, Neptune begins its retrograde on the 2nd, giving us time to reflect on our unconscious desires and intuitions, our dreams, and generally just dive more “beyond” into ourselves.
As for lunar events, we have a Cancer New Moon on the 5th and a Capricorn Full Moon on the 21st. Additionally, Leo season takes over on the 22nd, catapulting us into a more passionate, vibrant astrological season that encourages you to be your authentic self.
Now that you are informed about this, we can ask the Tarot what these events will look like for you (with one Major Arcana and one Minor Arcana card each). Let’s see what they had to say!

Your July 2024 Tarotscope
Ram
The Devil & 2 of Swords
Ramlet’s rip off the bandaid: this month doesn’t come with ease, sunshine and rainbows.
Instead, with the 2 of Swords and The Devil both in play, July is actually a serious month that requires you to look at your unconscious desires (and what’s holding you back), your unfinished business, and external decisions.
For most, the month will feel dark, cloudy and very uncomfortable.
However, if you are willing to do some of the internal work and reflection that these cards require of you, it can also be productive.
Taurus
Wheel of Fortune and page of wands (reversed)
Taurusthe universe is on our side.
The Wheel of Fortune offers luck and, overall, a very whimsical energy that can inject a lot of excitement and alignment into your life this month.
However, the reverse page of wands warns against jumping into things too quickly by doing this. Yes, doors open and your energy becomes more aligned with what is truly meant for you, but there is no need to take it all in at once.
Trust that this is about the larger process, and not about the energy you need to get started yourself. Sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!
Twin
The moon (reversed) and page with swords
Twin want to Brightness this month especially.
The moon can be a powerful card of intuition and spiritual insight, but its reversal complicates the unconscious chaos and makes that power feel inaccessible, uncontrollable, or more uncertain.
But as you choose to embody the expressive, logical, and curious Page of Swords this month, you are now prepared to approach big questions with a genuine open mind.
This month is about questions and answers, but more importantly: it’s about your ability to seek the truth.
Cancer
The lovers and 9 of swords
Cancerthis is a difficult month for connecting with loved ones, your relationships, and even your sense of self-love.
The Lovers shines a spotlight on all of these things, and also brings with it an air of spiritual intensity. Everything about these topics feels so much more significant and synchronistically this month.
Combined with the 9 of Swords, you have a whirlwind of self-doubt, doubts and worries at play, which can be enlightening for you personally, but also difficult to move relationships forward at this time.
This is not a month for important decisions about commitment or speaking without thinking, but it is a powerful month for honest reflection and tuning into your feelings about love.
Lion
The World (reverse) and 8 of Cups (reverse)
Lionthis is a tough month full of work that you know you were supposed to do but have been putting off.
The upside-down world brings to light all the unfinished business: dreams you abandoned, thoughts you never realized, and self-doubts that kept you from taking real leaps of faith.
Now that the 8 of Cups has been turned, it’s time to move on, but not in an escapist way. And you’ll have to spend this month sorting through what’s unfinished before you can do that.
What’s the first piece of luggage you want to dig into (and maybe even throw away)?
Virgin
Strength (reverse) and 8 of swords
Virgin may feel like they are in a pinch right now.
Reverse power has a way of spotlighting your insecurities, highlighting weaknesses, and, all in all, showing you the parts of yourself that don’t feel quite right.
You may just not be feeling like yourself this month, which is also evident in the energy of limitation and holding yourself back from the 8 of Swords. It’s not a comfortable experience, but it’s something we all experience from time to time – even Virgo, who always seems to have everything in order.
Allow yourself this most human moment of weakness, Virgo, and don’t be afraid to ask for help from others in times of need.
Scale
The High Priestess and 5 of Cups
Scale has the answers they need, but that doesn’t make them any easier to swallow.
The High Priestess hints that your intuition has already shown you the light. This month you are attuned to your intuitive wisdom, your unconscious mind and your spirituality.
However, the 5 of Cups still shows that you have a tendency to dwell deeply in your past feelings. For some, this is a longing for something once lost, a form of unhealthy nostalgia, or perhaps even picking at an old wound.
you know the way forward, but you still need to take steps to get there Libra.
Scorpion
The Hermit (reverse) and 9 wands
Scorpion takes a moment to catch his breath.
This month is mainly about reflection, planning and observation. The Reverse Hermit suggests that this process will often not be super rewarding at the moment, as you may feel quite alienated from larger revelations or solutions at this time.
However, the 9 of Wands nevertheless notes that you are meant to pause, look around, and take in your surroundings with caution and care. This is not a month to rush into action.
Archer
The Tower and 7 Swords
Archer has a whirlwind of chaos ahead this month.
It’s nothing the Wild Archer can’t handle, as The Tower brings chaos and destruction (only to make way for new things), and the 7 of Swords highlights lies and deception (and sheds light on the truth).
But… Sagittarius seemingly always makes sure he finds his way in the end.
In a month where you have little control, it is crucial to surf these stormy waves with an open mind and at the same time check your emotions regularly.
Ibex
The Wizard and Magic Wand 10 (reverse)
Ibex continues their creative streak this month, still opening themselves up to new possibilities and opening doors.
This month, The Magician shows you a lively, enterprising and outgoing spirit. You are ready to take what is yours and show up authentically in your work, personal projects and in your communications with others.
At the same time, the reversed 10 of wands warns against doing too much at once.
You may be tempted to say yes to everything you can right now, but there’s also a certain magic in selectivity, Capricorn.
Aquarius
The Star and Page of Pentacles
Aquarius plant seeds for the future, and things are looking bright!
The Star and Page of Pentacles are both cards of productive, optimistic positivity in themselves.
While The Star offers a larger, more spiritual tone indicating that July is a time of healing for you too, the Page of Pentacles shows the practical, daily execution of this resolution to become more about developing skills, investing time in work and establishing healthy daily routines.
What new life will you create for yourself, Aquarius?
Fishing
The Emperor and 7 of Pentacles (reversed)
Fishing is ready to take life into her own hands.
The Emperor shows that you come through lively, confident and expressive. This month is about taking what’s yours, standing up for what’s important to you, and taking on a leadership role that you know you’re capable of.
As a reminder, the 7 of Pentacles has the notes reversed that you might be tempted to withdraw and excuse this as “planning” or “thinking” (when really it’s holding yourself back or procrastinating).
But at the end of the day, it’s time to shine, Pisces.
