Just a few days into our brand new year. Howzit going?
According to the Tarot, this is a Chariot Year, Major Arcana Card #VII (7).
The Chariot VII
From The Russian Tarot of St Petersburg
Artist: Yuri Shakov
So what does this mean? It’s going to be an important year from the point of view of having to work hard, be disciplined, be focussed on what it is that you wish to achieve – especially on the spiritual and more elevated levels. But on the mortal plane, hard work and dedication are seldom wasted. We’ll all need drive, and determination, so buckle up folks and noses down – holidays are over.
Each of us has a personal Major Arcana Card for the year ahead. If you’d like to know yours, and a brief note about its significance, send me your day and month of birth, I’ll work it out. Suggest you pop the info into the Comments box, after this post. There’s a formula to work it out, I do mine every year, and the info is personal to you, whereas the above remarks about Card VII apply to the entire planet, holus bolus.
Seven, by the by, is a karmic number and reckoned to be powerful. So if you find blessings and burdens arriving in your life from your past, don’t be surprised. This is the year for them to manifest.
Bon Voyage – I wish all my readers a happy, healthy, safe and fulfilling year.

Oh come on, Ginny – I shall endeavour to do my Best, not my worst! Your Major Arcana card is V(5) The Hierophant: you may find yourself either sheltering in, or fighting against, conventional traditions and ideas; religious issues could arise this year. Take your pick – Bon voyage! Just concentrate on the universal driving energy of the Chariot, Card VII – determination & hard work result in success, remember.

Hi Linds! Your Major Arcana Card is XI, (11) The Hermit: this card is about solitude, and reflection. So a quiet year for you, despite the busy energy of Card VII, the Chariot. This might be the year you take up study of some sort – possibly looking for spiritual wisdom. Have a good year.

Thanks for your good wishes, Gerda! Your personal year card is The Wheel, Card X. So! it’s a year when Destiny will play a role, when you will reap past rewards and burdens; whatever actions we take – whether good or bad, they all have consequences. Oh – and on a lighter note – you may just find that Lady Luck smiles on you this year. Go & buy a Lotto ticket!

Your Major Arcana Personal Year card is Card XIII, Death. Before you dash off screaming, remember it is the supreme CHANGE card – old energies/events finally come to a natural end, and there’s room in your life for rebirth, new beginnings. Boldly approach radical change – go for it!
