What follows is a sample reading of the following New Year Tarot Spread from Biddy Tarot.
2022 was a year of collaboration, working with other people, appreciating the group effort. No one is an island and the value of other people’s input makes the thing better and a success. There was general peace and harmony throughout the year with some celebration as we were coming out of Covid. This all makes for a feeling of stability and security.
The next twelve months will be a time for truth-seeking and practical mindedness. Getting down to the essence, not accepting flimsy reasons and setting good personal boundaries with a sharp clear focus. It will be time to let people know what you want and how you want it. Clarify what you mean in all instances. You will be bold in this endeavor and sometimes a bit impulsive. You might get some blowback from others who don’t expect this new position from you. Stay true to your meaning and don’t let self-doubt or fear of change dull your aspiration to set your position. i.e. don’t let your mind or old programs sabotage yourself. You are in control of your thoughts. You and only you.
You will bring passion and optimism to your relationships. Get ready for some adventures! Your health and well-being will be good with perhaps a tendency to over-indulge in the good life. But generally speaking you will be in good health and that will reflect on your outlook and your generosity to others.
You will spend time growing your spiritual energy and inner fulfillment. There is an abundance in this area and a fertile space for deepening and sharing. You are coming into a fullness here with a growing love and acceptance which manifests for the good of others. Nurture this area and allow it to grow your being.
In the year ahead your focus should be on manifesting through your gifts and talents to create a solid base for yourself in order to contribute to the benefit of others. You are a natural nurturer but you must know that your cup needs to be overflowing before you can share with others. Take good care of yourself in body, mind and spirit and you will happily help others to feel secure, loved and able to manifest for themselves.
To be responsible and accountable for oneself requires courage and perseverance. Once you have found your truth you must protect it and never give it away or fall victim to other people’s censure. There may be those who do not accept your new strength happily or they may be jealous and want to take you down. Draw upon your self-confidence, self-belief and know that you can overcome these tests.
Now is not the time to be apathetic or disheartened in any way. The task at hand is clear and the year ahead is filled with strengthening of self which will lead towards greater self-love and love for all.
Pentacles are earth and business, three are trios and a balance of energy. Here we have a collegial scene. A wealthy business man, churchman and artisan confer on the building of a cathedral. What strikes me today is the respectful positioning of the artisan. He is standing on a workbench higher than the other two and in fact seems to be shining a light on the plans held by the wealthy patron. This is the new order where all work together in an attitude of mutual respect. Bring this attitude to work this week and see if things go along more smoothly. It is good to remember that each of us has unique gifts and talents that are necessary to make the thing work.
