As we reach the halfway point of the year, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the journey taken so far through the lens of tarot. At the beginning of the year, I did my traditional annual tarot reading. This involves drawing two tarot cards for each month to provide guidance and foresight for the year ahead. This annual tarot reading has been a fascinating experience, offering both accuracy and enlightenment as the months have unfolded.
My personal origin of annual tarot reading
I began this practice several years ago and now it has become a tradition on New Year’s eve. I often look back and the year before’s reading and see just how accurate each month was. I also like to look at the beginning and end of each month to see what happened in the previous month and what is coming up and see just what unfolded.
So far, the predictions have been remarkably accurate, resonating deeply with the events and energies I’ve encountered. Each pairing of cards has painted a vivid picture of the month ahead, helping us navigate both challenges and opportunities with clarity and purpose.
July’s tarot predictions
As we transition into July, I am excited to share the insights and guidance that the tarot has revealed for the coming month. The cards drawn for July are the Eight of Pentacles and the Six of Pentacles. These cards together weave a narrative of diligent work, mastery, and generosity, offering us a roadmap for the weeks ahead.
Insights for July: The Eight of Pentacles and the Six of Pentacles
Eight of Pentacles: Mastery and Dedication
The Eight of Pentacles is a card that embodies the essence of hard work, dedication, and the pursuit of mastery. This month, we are encouraged to focus on honing our skills and becoming true experts in our chosen field. Whether engaged in further education, acquiring new skills, or perfecting our craft through persistent practice, our efforts are paving the way for future success.
This card suggests that we may have recently embarked on a new path, be it in our career, education, or personal development. The Eight of Pentacles reassures us that our hard work and dedication are not in vain. Even if progress seems slow or the journey feels arduous, every step we take brings us closer to mastery. Our unwavering focus and commitment will eventually lead to the success we seek.
Moreover, this card invites us to pay attention to the finer details of our lives. By making continuous improvements and adjustments, we can enhance our overall satisfaction and well-being.

Six of Pentacles: Generosity and Balance
The Six of Pentacles complements the energy of the Eight of Pentacles by emphasizing the importance of generosity and balance. This card represents the flow of giving and receiving, urging us to share our abundance with others while also being open to accepting help when needed.
In July, we may find ourselves in a position to offer assistance to those in need, whether through financial support, sharing our time and energy, or providing guidance and wisdom. Generosity will not only uplift others but also create a sense of fulfilment and spiritual growth within ourselves. The Six of Pentacles reminds us that every act of kindness and generosity we extend will come back to us threefold.
Conversely, if we are on the receiving end of generosity, embrace it with gratitude and humility. Allow the support of others to help us regain our footing and work towards self-sufficiency. This card also highlights the importance of maintaining financial harmony, ensuring that the inflow and outflow of resources are balanced and sustainable.
