Yearly Reading for Tarotists

  This is a page from an old notebook.

The reading of the New Year can be done on one’s Natal Birthday or it can be done on New Year’s day.  The prep is no sexual contact  for 24 hours prior; a thorough cleaning of the whole house; taking a ceremonial or herbal bath and donning all clean clothes.

Before shuffling take a moment to acknowledge and give thanks to one’s spiritual allies.

Shuffle and then lay out the center card which gives the general energetic theme for the incoming year

Starting at the first position in the diagram lay out 12 cards counter clockwise. Each card is the monthly adaptation of the theme card’s energy in the coming year. Your  Theme Card is paired with the card of the month. These pairs will reveal an energetic tone.

This layout is  to be done with a standard  78 card Tarot deck, in the RWS or Marseille style.
