If you don’t feel ready to jump into the latter half of 2024, the cards are here to prepare you! This month, Neptune begins its retrograde on the 2nd, offering us time to reflect on our unconscious desires and intuitions, our dreams, and overall just dive more “beyond” within ourselves.
In terms of Moon events, we’ll 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’re briefed on that, we can ask the Tarot how these events will look like for you (with one Major Arcana and one Minor Arcana card each). Let’s find out what they had to say!

Your July 2024 Tarotscope
Aries
The Devil & 2 of Swords
Aries, let’s rip the bandaid off: this month isn’t coming with ease, sunshine, and rainbows.
Instead, with the 2 of Swords and The Devil both in play, July is actually a serious month that demands that you look at your unconscious desires (and what is restricting you from them), your unfinished business, and outlying decisions.
For most, the month will feel dark, cloudy, and deeply uncomfortable.
However, if you are willing to do some of the internal work and reflection that these cards ask of you, it can also be a productive one.
Taurus
Wheel of Fortune & Page of Wands (Reversed)
Taurus, the Universe is on your side.
The Wheel of Fortune offers good fortune and, overall, a very whimsical energy that can inject plenty of excitement and alignment into your life this month.
However, the Page of Wands reversed warns against jumping into things too quickly just because of this. Yes, doors are opening, and your energy aligns more with what’s really meant for you, but there is no need to take in everything all at once.
Trust that this is about the larger process at hand, not an energy you need to initiate yourself. Sit back, take a deep breath, and enjoy the ride!
Gemini
The Moon (Reversed) & Page of Swords
Gemini wants clarity this month above all else.
The Moon can be a powerful card of intuition and spiritual insight, but its reversal complicates its 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’re willing to approach large questions with a genuine open mind right now.
This month is about questions and answers, but more importantly, it’s about your ability to seek the truth.
Cancer
The Lovers & 9 of Swords
Cancer, this is a tough month for connecting with loved ones, your relationships, and even your sense of self-love.
The Lovers sheds a spotlight on all of these things, bringing in also a vibe of spiritual intensity. Everything about these topics feels so much more significant and synchronistic this month.
Coupled with the 9 of Swords, you have a whirlwind of self-doubts, second-guessing, and concerns in play, which can be illuminating for you personally but also difficult for advancing any relationships forward right now.
This isn’t a month for major decisions about commitment or speaking without thinking, but it’s a powerful one for honest reflection and tuning in with your feelings about love.
Leo
The World (Reversed) & 8 of Cups (Reversed)
Leo, this is a tough month full of work you know you’ve been needing to do but have been putting off.
The World reversed brings to light any unfinished business — dreams you left abandoned, thoughts you never brought to fruition, and self-doubts that prevented you from taking true leaps of faith.
With the 8 of Cups reversed, it’s time to move forward, but not in an escapist way. And you’ll have to spend this month digging through what’s been left unfinished before you can do that.
What’s the first piece of baggage you’ll be willing to dig into (and maybe even toss)?
Virgo
Strength (Reversed) & 8 of Swords
Virgo may feel like they’re caught in a bind right now.
Strength reversed has a way of spotlighting your insecurities, emphasizing 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 with the 8 of Swords’ energy of restriction and holding oneself back. It’s not a comfortable experience, but it’s something we all experience at some point — even Virgo, who externally always seems to have it all together.
Let yourself have this extremely human moment of weakness, Virgo, and don’t be afraid to ask for help from others in a time of need.
Libra
The High Priestess & 5 of Cups
Libra has the answers that 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’re attuned to your intuitive wisdom, your unconscious, and your spirituality.
However, the 5 of Cups still shows your tendency to linger on the past, deep in your feelings. For some, this is a longing for something once lost, a form of unhealthy nostalgia, or maybe even picking at an old wound.
You know the way forward, but you still have to take steps to get there Libra.
Scorpio
The Hermit (Reversed) & 9 of Wands
Scorpio is taking a moment to catch their breath.
Mostly, this month is about reflection, planning, and observation. The Hermit reversed suggests that often, this process won’t feel super rewarding in the moment, as you may feel quite disconnected from greater epiphanies or solutions for now.
However, the 9 of Wands nonetheless notes that you’re meant to pause, look around you, and take in your surroundings with caution and care. This is not a month for rushing into anything.
Sagittarius
The Tower & 7 of Swords
Sagittarius has a whirlwind of chaos at their doorstep this month.
It’s nothing the wild archer can’t handle, as The Tower does bring chaos and destruction (only to make way for new things), and the 7 of Swords illuminates lies and deception (shedding light on the truth).
But… Sagittarius seemingly always sees to it to find their way in the end.
In a month where not much will be in your control, surfing these stormy waves with an open mind while also checking in with your emotions frequently will be key.
Capricorn
The Magician & 10 of Wands (Reversed)
Capricorn continues their creative streak this month, still opening themselves up to new possibilities and opening doors.
The Magician shows you in a vibrant, entrepreneurial, and outgoing spirit this month. You’re ready to take what’s yours and show up authentically in work, personal projects, and in your communications with others.
At the same time, the 10 of Wands reversed warns against doing too much all at once.
You may be tempted to say “yes” to everything that you can right now, but there is a certain magic to selectivity, too, Capricorn.
Aquarius
The Star & Page of Pentacles
Aquarius is planting seeds for the future, and it’s looking bright!
The Star and the Page of Pentacles are both cards of productive, optimistic positivity in their own right.
Although The Star offers a larger, more spiritual tone that hints that July is a time of healing for you, too, the Page of Pentacles shows the practical day-to-day execution of this intention to be more about developing skills, investing time in work, and establishing healthy daily routines.
What new life will you create for yourself, Aquarius?
Pisces
The Emperor & 7 of Pentacles (Reversed)
Pisces is ready to take life into their own hands.
The Emperor shows you coming through vibrantly, confidently, and expressively. This month is all about taking what’s yours, standing up for what’s important to you, and playing a leading role where you know you’re capable of it.
As a reminder, the 7 of Pentacles reversed notes that you may be tempted to retreat and excuse this as “planning” or “reflecting” (when it’s really holding yourself back or procrastinating).
But at the end of the day, it’s time to shine, Pisces.
