We have Five of Cups and Ten of Swords starting the July 2024 tarot horoscope. As doom-and-gloom messengers, these cards have a distinct warning for the collective. If you don’t take care of your mental health (and physical/emotional health), no one else will. Everything else comes second… because how can they not?
The Sun adds weight to this message by reminding us that our body is our soul’s home. You cannot shine to your greatest capacity if you are eclipsed by old wounds, recurring memories, trauma responses, and so on. Working with a therapist is definitely highlighted here with The Hierophant. But meditation can help you find holistic health and be grounded within too.

Growth is the name of the game and you will grow too. What can stop you?
