Welcome 2012...

I decided to do a tarot reading on myself today, with the start of the new year and all you know... I did the spread that seemed to call to me. The wheel of the year spread. It's a circle basically marked by the sabbats of the year. Each card is representative of that time of the year. I interpreted it that each card was a representation of me at that time in the upcoming year. So here it is...

Starting from about now. The top left corner, which would be Imbolc, I'll list them going counterclockwise.


Imbolc - Feb. 2: Page of Cups ~ A messenger, vulnerable, yet still taking the risks. Fearless, intellectual, and listening. Emotional.
Ostara - March 20: Queen of Cups ~ Compassionate, creative, receptive, empathic, and intuitive. Nurtures people with patience and love.
Beltane - May 1: The World ~ Queen of the Witches, this card depicts success and completion. Corresponds to the planet of Saturn, a planet of boundaries which will help me define myself and relate to others without losing my individuality. Definition of myself. (I'm highly looking forward to that)
Midsummer - June 20: The High Priestess ~ Master of divination, symbolic of intuition, guidance, and the cyclical nature of life. Reflection on both spiritual and philosophical levels. The dualities of nature. Psychic abilities.
Lammas - Aug. 1: Two of Swords ~ Challenges, difficult decisions, use of other senses to see what is really there. Symbolic of uncertain peace, a frail alliance, and an impasse. Suggests the need to resolve a stalemate or break a tie.
Mabon - Sept. 21: Three of Swords ~ A card of grief and heartbreak. Symbolizes heartache, pain, abandonment, and estrangement. Sometimes betrayal, infidelity, and divorce.
Samhain - Oct. 31: Ten of Swords ~ A card of overkill and ruin. Symbolizes destruction, loss, breakdown of relationships, disillusion and disloyalty. Normally relates to gossip and backstabbing. "Death by a thousand cuts." Doesn't happen all at once.
Yule - Dec. 21: The Hermit ~ Represents wisdom, prudence, illumination, philosophy, introspection, and meditation. Illustrates the concept of solitude and the power of silence. Very critical of oneself.


There you have it. My life for the next year. Now, we remember that every decision we make can change the path of life. So basically, if I continue on the path that I am currently on, this is what will probably happen. If I change it, this too will change. Decisions, decisions... Do I want to change it? Or is this what I really want? Hmmmm....
