Looking At The Year Ahead: A Tarot Reading

This is the second year that I have decided to do a full year tarot reading, and I’m deciding to share it here soon after doing it tonight. I am sharing it in this way, so it is more raw and hopefully more honest. I have a feeling that I have a great year ahead of me, but the cards still have a lot to say, and I am excited to see these cards in action.

To start, my husband insisted that I do my spread for this year with my Lord of the Rings tarot deck that we got from Half-Priced Books. I’m kind of wondering if I should have used a deck that knows me better, but, in the end, I haven’t done a reading in a while, so I took the opportunity to involve my husband by letting him choose a deck. Here is the whole spread in one:

Having so many reversed cards is a bit nerve wracking for me, but I remain positive in the face of these reversed cards.

Here is month one. January;

In January I need to make sure to keep my heart straight, and know where I’m going. I want to be a writer, but I am a teacher, and I should not lose focus of that. My teaching is just as important as my writing. These kids depend on me, and they deserve that I don’t put my writing above them.

Month two. February:

The Empress is a very motherly relationship, so I am concerned about how my mother type relationships will do in February, but, in the end, I know that I have control over it. I will need to take control over all of my maternal relationships to keep the year moving smoothly in February.

Month three. March:

In march I need to make sure not to lose sight of how far I have come in life and my journey. I have so much farther to go, but I have also come so much farther than I could ever imagine.

Month Four. April:

In April I will finally reach a time of abundance and prosperity. Not that abundance and prosperity were not available before, but I can really see them in this month. This month with be marked by the prosperity that will follow me throughout the year.

Month Five. May:

In May, I just need to be open to receiving help because things could go off the rails if I am too stubborn to be helped.

Month Six. June:

I will be letting go of some shame in June and calling for help. I carry a lot of shame on my shoulders and feel that I need to carry things that are not mine. Maybe in June, I will be letting these things go.

Month Seven. July:

In July things will fall back into place after the crazy time that June was.

Month eight: August

This will represent pride in myself.

Month nine. September:

The pride in myself will bring bravery and courage in myself. People need my gratitude at that time.

Month ten. October:

I might need some help in this month to be what I want to be.

Month eleven. November:

This card shows that I am headed to where I am hoping.

Month twelve. December:

The Magician shows that my goals will be fulfilled.

Full year readings can be very difficult because so much can change in a year easily, of course. I, however, prefer to do these readings. Partially it is out of ritual, but I also enjoy the small insight into my life.

I will of course think about these cards so many times over the coming months. There were interesting meanings in all of the cards, and I will reconsider each card right before the beginning of each month. There is so much that can happen, but it is nice to do a reading and a little better about things.

Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about my reading.
