i still have yet a lot to learn
but i was curious as to what the new year 09 has in store for me
and as i was reading it it seemed it was about my past.
i'm a little clueless now
so i would some insight from you guys.

i used the yearly spread:

11 10 9  8
12         7
1           6
2   3  4  5

each card represents a month
1:January
2 February
so on so forth


and this is what i got
1: five of wands
2: page of cups reversed
3: seven of wands reversed
4: the star
5: knight of swords
6: the world
7: knight of wands reversed
8: the magician reversed
9: the hermit reversed
10: two of pentacles reversed
11: knight of pentacles
12: king of swords

i'll be looking forward to your insights.


oodles of love,
lotus dew.

Hello Lotusdew,

I could not get so many reversed cards even if I tried hard enough. I dont usually do reverse cards myself, but I will have a go at it. Others are more than welcome to put their insights to this, if they like.

1: five of wands -  Arguments, debates, possibly in the work environment. Care should be taken to put these arguments to make a productive outcome through them, as it may lead to one if it is done without malice and anger. The possiblities that such arguments/debates can be good, only if it is done the right way. These are not major arguments; almost niggles and minor issues. Just take care that they dont compound and become big issues.

2: page of cups reversed - delayed news or obstacles on some message about love and romance or even delays in the fruition of a work related issue.

3: seven of wands reversed - You may not have the upper hand in a certain situation or not be in a winning position. But I get the feeling this may be due to lack of self confidence. It would be good if you kept your emotions under control.

4: the star - all hope is not lost in a certain situation. You may start again or review the situation, but do it with a positive mind and attitude.

5: knight of swords - Things could be on the move, possible travel and you may be on the fast lane of life. Dont get too carried away of this pace as the Knight can be also illusive. Just use common sense.

6: the world - End of a cylce, attainment of wishes and ambitions by the middle of the year.

7: knight of wands reversed - pace slowing down and lack of that fiery energy. I feel this could be the result of fast pace back in May with the Knight of Swords. I see tiredness and possible exhaution.

8: the magician reversed - sense of helplessness and possibly health issues. Suddnely you feel you cannot cope with it all, even though you know you've done everything right. You may feel you have lost the tools to solve things, but I feel this is only a delay and not a total defeat.

9: the hermit reversed - dont give in to too much to seclusion just because things have slowed down. You still need to be out there and use all the knowledge you have.

10: two of pentacles reversed - Perhaps it is time that you did more than juggling of your assets and resouces and took some risks.

11: knight of pentacles - back on track, but this time wiser and slow mover. Nothing wrong with that and it is only natural that you will take that stance. This knight is known to be a bit too slow at times, dont sit there waiting forever though while opportunities come and pass you by.

12: king of swords - A man of strenght, fair play and one who rules with an iron fist. Perhaps this is your new attitude towards life and your affairs or someone with these attributes coming into your life to make you feel that way.

You have five court cards which means you will interact with people a lot or be affected by their personality traits. I have a sense next year will be a roller coaster of events on the professional/work side of your life and I also feel you should look after your health and not overdo it.

You have four major arcana cards both upright and both reversed. Take advantage of the upright ones in the first half of the year and the second half of the year will simply caution you to make amends in your attitudes.

Romance might be touch and go but your ruling energies will be based on creativity and possibly money matters.
I am now beginning to sound like an astrologer, eh?

All the best to my friend.

Just follow your intuition...
Blessings
