      Your summer tarot reading

      First card: Seven of Wands

      Signifying the past; represents standing firm and defending yourself.

      Good news! This summer will be filled with vibrant social energy, so get ready for nights out with friends, travel, and meeting new people. However, this energy may also lead to competition, comparison, and the pressure to prove yourself. You might notice that inner critic offering louder commentary during this time, but don’t let it govern you. This card encourages you to remain true to your values and display resilience, regardless of challenges. “Summer’s heat reflects this card’s fiery spirit, motivating you to rise to the occasion,” Coke advised.

      Second card: Two of Swords

      Signifying the present; represents indecision or avoidance of truth.

      If you’ve been delaying a decision that weighs heavily on your heart, this card calls you to pause. Summer tends to be chaotic with intense emotions and many activities, yet the Two of Swords urges you to take a step back and reflect before acting. Its appearance suggests you are seeking inner clarity and may be torn between two paths without knowing which to choose. Coke encourages you to stop, breathe deeply, and find your inner peace as you progress.

      Third card: Knight of Pentacles

      Signifying the present; represents stability and grounding.

      Although summer might be filled with various activities and spontaneous plans, the Knight of Pentacles highlights the significance of maintaining a routine. “He embodies diligence and patience amidst the summer chaos,” Coke described the card. Progress may be slow but maintaining discipline and responsibility will yield results. Those results won’t be immediate, so be patient and keep putting in the effort.

      Fourth card: The World

      Signifying the future; represents completion and fulfillment.

      This card suggests that a personal or spiritual cycle is reaching its conclusion. You may achieve a milestone, find closure, or gain a new perspective. Everything will start to align perfectly. “This card indicates that you are on the verge of new growth—possibly through travel, personal achievements, or the arrival of something significant,” Coke said. It’s a sign that a celebration is on the horizon.

      What this tarot reading means for your summer

      This summer will bring transformation and may challenge your courage and patience at times. “You need to defend your dreams, protect your peace, and stand firm against pressure,” Coke cautioned. In uncertain times, this spread reminds you to avoid hasty actions and instead progress gradually and deliberately. Fortunately, all this effort and resilience will pay off by the end of the season. This summer represents a crucial turning point for you, and by handling internal pressures thoughtfully and embracing the hard work ahead, you'll conclude the season feeling more complete and at peace with who you are and who you are becoming.
