July Thirtieth the Day of TANGIBLE PRESENCE: Those born on July 30 make their presence felt in a very physical fashion indeed. Not only are they individuals of substance but they also have a sense of how material aspects of life operate. The solid, sturdy people born on this day dwell on the earthly plane, which is their dominion, and it may be hard to convince them that they should develop their spiritual side. Taken up with the here and now, with the energy of doing things, they do not specialize in introspection or philosophical detachment.

Jack of Hearts: The Card of Sacrifice through Love: As one of the three fixed cards, the Jack of Hearts feels strongly about their version of love. They are surrounded by the Christ spirit of sacrifice through love. Even though they are a Jack, which are sometimes immature and crafty, they are influenced by the wisdom of the Christ spirit, which gives them higher guidance and higher motives in general. They must watch, however, that their martyrdom does not get out of hand. They can also become escapists and misguided, but this is the exception. Love is their power and birthright. They have come to love others and to show them the way by their example. They often make sacrifices in their life and their personal fulfillment may be given up for some higher cause or philosophy. As born leaders, they must be successful in their own profession. They all carry the spirit of higher love within them and all people they associate with are in some way uplifted by their presence. They find their greatest fulfillment on a spiritual path.
Your Karma Cards are the: King of Spades and Eight of Clubs - These two are your strongest karmic 'buddies'. When you meet one of these, there is a powerful energy between you. Ace of Clubs, Two of Hearts, Nine of Hearts, Seven of Diamonds - You also share karmic bonds with these cards, but not as strong as the first two. You will often find people of these cards in your life.
