Your Tarot Card Reading for the Week of July 21
Leo season and a New Moon in Leo are upon us, so let the drama commence. The Moon tarot card casts a mystery theme over proceedings, so expect dramatic revelations, powerful secrets to be unearthed, and illusionary bubbles to be popped. The Leo vibe ensures all of this sleuthing, truth-seeking, and honesty WILL be fun and uplifting, so don't fear the consequences of what ensues—sometimes it's best to know what's what, right? You can't build anything worthwhile on wobbly foundations so take time to find out where you stand in all the key areas of your life that you're looking to develop and work on. And Leo season also adds a dose of flair, confidence, WOW factor, and fun to everything. The New Moon in Leo ensures whatever you discover this week will be put to good use in activating a fresh start or clean slate. Here's to truth and new beginnings!
Whatever you're having, I'll have some too because it's obviously working! The Ten of Pentacles is a rewards card, a celebration of being on the right path, of doing the right things in the right way and with the right people. Your Aries empire is thriving, you are wealthy in ways that count, abundance is yours, and life is panning out as it ought to. So, celebrate! Take a week to show gratitude, give thanks, appreciate the folk around you and your own efforts, toast the good times, take wisdom from the bad. You are doing great, just keep going!
You're not known as a dreamer—you prefer tangible, practical, valuable things that you can see, feel, and count. What good are ideas and fantasies, really? Well, the Nine of Cups reveals they're the origin of all riches, rewards, and opportunities. Everything starts in the mind, so why not cultivate a powerful, ambitious imagination and make your fantasies really worth pursuing? Dare to dream this week, Taurus, and journal everything. Make these daydreams manifest IRL and watch your life take off!
Summertime is fun time! We are all reminded of school holidays, trips away, staying out late with friends, doing what we liked, tasting freedom and pleasure and spontaneous endless summer days. Recreate that feeling in your realm this week, Gemini—you are the zodiac's Peter Pan after all. Have a midnight feast, watch movies all day, make a water slide in the garden, eat ice cream every day, sleep late, read childhood books. Life is worth celebrating and enjoying, it's precious and fleeting, make this week a whole summer holiday in 7 days! You won't regret this, you'll remember it forever.
You're looking for inspiration and motivation this week and I am pleased that the Queen of Wands arrives to give you some pointers on your quest. Look for Fire sign women (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), be they famous influencers or personalities, know-it-all colleagues, or lively friends. Look for classes, tutorials, online forums, new books or podcasts around a theme that intrigues you and that you'd like to learn more about. Look for places locally that have a show, event, class, gathering, circle, or sale on something that you're keen to get involved with. Seek and you shall find. This quest will be successful. Inspiration incoming.
Leo season is here and the Ten of Cups brings you love! Romance is always high on your agenda because lions love to love. This week will bring all the gushing vibes you enjoy: secret admirers, falling in love moments, new attractions, deepening bonds, declarations and grand gestures, gifts and compliments. If you're single, consider a charismatic Water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) who offers you something creative and quirky. If you're attached then prioritize your love life this week and reap the rewards of feeling adored and appreciated (because everyone wants a Leo, duh).
It's time to declutter, Virgo, and I know that's music to your ears. Not just your physical space though, this one goes deeper. It's time to remove the dead weight from your life. Go through your devices and delete unwanted or outdated apps, photos, message threads, and playlists. Next, overhaul your daily stimulus sources—radio, music, shows, news channels, and TV—to see what doesn't bring you education, comfort, or pleasure. If it's not a source of one of those things, remove it. Consider yourself a curator called in to design the best inputs and environment for yourself. What does it look like? What needs removing? That is the task of this week. It will feel good.
Although your ruling tarot card is Justice which obviously has very close relations with Truth, you are a sign who can have a slippery relationship with total honesty and transparency. For starters, you're very diplomatic and charming. Truth can feel like bad manners. You're also an analyst and you just like collecting data and seeing all sides to all things, which makes it hard to pin down a singular version of anything. Truth is, well, multi-faceted, depending on who you ask, right? Well, this week you need to embrace truth. Your version. And then express it, say how you feel, speak up without a filter. And then listen to the response without overthinking. This dialogue will break new ground in a relationship that has gotten tense.
Step back and take a beat this week, Scorpio. Reflect and review your current workload, social commitments, to-do list, home routines, and work priorities. Are they right? Are they making life feel fulfilling and rewarding and in flow? If not, why not?The Seven of Pentacles has a "time out" vibe and gives us pause and space to consider what we're doing, instead of just ramming onwards at full pace. Life is fast, busy, demanding. Make sure you're consciously doing stuff you want or need to do. And maybe it's as simple as that. Matrix your life is terms of want and need. Whatever isn't in those boxes maybe doesn't deserve the time and energy it's getting.
Success once again, Sagittarius! Hooray for you! Jupiter's sign is always lucky, always winning (even when it feels like you're losing), and always optimistic about the odds (with good reason, see points one and two). The Four of Wands has you outgrowing your current goals or realm, it's time to step up to the next level or find new landscape to grow into. You need to do this regularly because you're so energetic and keen to advance, learn, grow, and have a go. Keep refreshing your horizons and ambitions. This is how you sidestep boredom or restlessness, which are dangerous allies for you (you know it).
Be still. Be quiet. Be passive. Make this week a glacial, calm lake of still waters. Glide through, making as few ripples as possible. Divert your energy from doing into thinking. Float on your back and gaze at the stars. Reflect, meditate, observe, analyze, daydream, fantasize, imagine. The High Priestess is hovering over you this week and is ready to gift you her wisdom and insights and ideas. They will bubble up from your own subconscious, but it is her quite magic that dislodges them, so think of her, be like her, seek sanctuary from busyness and just be still. She will speak to you soon.
You are sign noted for needing freedom and space. You like to roam, be spontaneous, and serve your own needs. That said, you love affection and intimacy and fellowship as much as the rest of us mortals. The Devil sees you kinda struggling between these two versions of you this week, and maybe having some stark revelations about what it is you DO and DO NOT need or want in your closest relationships. Work it through, don't back down, say your piece. You are responsible for how you live your life, no one else, and you're also responsible to take the consequences of that. The Devil tells us to be who we really are, and own the outcomes of that self's choices. Be authentic, everything will get easier when you are just simply who you want to be.
Abundance is your mantra and life theme this week, Pisces, and as the final sign of the zodiac that suits you because you have a little bit of the previous eleven signs in your nature. You are a melting pot of cosmic traits and forces. What would you like more of? What do you wish to attract and amplify in your realm? Focus on that this week, and be ready for whatever comes, even if it doesn't seem to have the right label for what you wanted. Say yes to it anyway, the Universe is bringing you a multitude of new opportunities and ideas. A flurry of energy. Welcome it. Be abundant.

Pope Leo XIV gets rock star's welcome at Catholic influencer festival
Vatican Youth Jubilee VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday received a rock star's welcome at the Vatican's festival of Catholic influencers — priests, nuns and ordinary faithful who use their social media presence to preach and teach the faith — as he urged them to ensure that human relations don't suffer with the spread of digital ecosystems and artificial intelligence. History's first American pope was mobbed by hundreds of influencers, their cellphones hoisted high to stream the encounter, when he arrived in St. Peter's Basilica after a special Mass. The pilgrims have descended on Rome for a special Holy Year celebration of so-called 'digital missionaries,' part of the Vatican's weeklong Jubilee for young people that culminates this weekend with a vigil and Mass in a vast field on Rome's outskirts. Leo thanked the young people for using their digital platforms to spread the faith, and he gamely posed for selfies. But he warned them about neglecting human relationships in their pursuit of clicks and followers, and cautioned them to not fall prey to fake news and the 'frivolity' of online encounters. 'It is not simply a matter of generating content, but of creating an encounter between hearts,' Leo said in a speech that showed his ease switching from Italian to Spanish to English. 'Be agents of communion, capable of breaking down the logic of division and polarization, of individualism and egocentrism.' 'It is up to us – to each one of you – to ensure that this culture remains human,' he said. 'Our mission – your mission – is to nurture a culture of Christian humanism, and to do so together' in what he called the only networks that really matter: of friendship, love and the 'network of God.' Warnings against going off-message For the past two days, the Vatican's message to the young influencers has been one of thanks for their social media evangelizing, but also a warning to not allow their posting to go off-message or to neglect the human dimension of all encounters. For Leo, the issue is particularly heartfelt since he has said that addressing the threat to humanity posed by AI will be a priority of his pontificate. The Rev. David McCallum, an American Jesuit who heads a leadership development program and presented Monday, held periodic breaks with instructions for those in the audience to actually speak with the person next to them, for up to 10 minutes at a time. Cardinal Antonio Tagle, the head of the Vatican's evangelization office, urged the influencers to avoid anything that smacks of false advertising, coercion or brainwashing in their posting, or to use their platform to make money. He noted that he himself had been victim of a fake video advertising arthritis medicine. 'Brothers and sisters, be discerning,' Tagle told the influencers in his homily at Tuesday's Mass. A mini World Youth Day in Rome Tuesday began with groups of influencers and young pilgrims passing through the basilica's Holy Door, a rite of passage for the estimated 32 million people participating in the Vatican's 2025 Holy Year celebrations. This week, downtown Rome swarmed with energetic masses of teenage Catholic scouts, church and Catholic school groups. It all had the vibe of a scaled-down World Youth Day, the once-every-three-year Catholic Woodstock festival that was inaugurated by St. John Paul II. The most recent one in Lisbon, Portugal went viral thanks to the Rev. Guilherme Peixoto, a village priest in northern Portugal who also happens to be a DJ. He's in Rome this week, though it's not clear if he will reprise his now-famous set that woke the young people up before Pope Francis' final Mass in Lisbon. In it, he spliced into the set both St. John Paul II's exhortation to young people to 'be not afraid' and Francis' appeal in Lisbon that the church has room for everyone, 'todos, todos, todos.' ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.
