STEP ONE:
How old are you? I’m 43.
Okay, now add up the numbers in your age until you get ONE, single digit number. For me, that’s number 7 (4 + 3 = 7).
STEP TWO:
Now, find the Major Arcana card in your Tarot deck that corresponds to that number. Since I got #7, I’m going to pull out The Chariot.
Your Major Arcana card depicts the main theme or general vibe of your current year. Since I got The Chariot, it shows that my 43rd year has been all about progress, momentum and moving forward.
Take a look at your Major Arcana card – what are the keywords you associate with it? What’s it all about? How has it shown up so far in your current age-year?
Personally, I’ve experienced The Chariot as a series of small successes and forward momentum in many areas of my life, particularly on issues that I’ve been stuck in for a while, like lower back issues, gut problems and blocked creativity (all sacral chakra stuff….hmmmm).
STEP THREE:
Okay, now here’s where things get really interesting… find the four Minor Arcana cards that correspond to your number. For me, that’s all the 7’s – Seven of Pentacles, Swords, Cups and Wands.
These Minor Arcana cards depict the areas of your life that you’ll be experiencing the most growth in during your current age. “Growth” can be experienced as lessons, breakthroughs, success, challenges or simply just “doing the work” in a particular area.
I like to think of the Minors as lessons I’m trying to master.
Have a look at your 4 Minor Arcana cards – what lesson does each card present? what areas of your life do they show up in? What situations, challenges or opportunities do you feel they stand for? How are you “working through” each card’s lessons at your current age?
Here’s what I wrote for all my cards:
7 of Pentacles – patience and nurturing something – I’ve had to be patient while treating both a long standing gut issue and lower back issue
7 of Swords – authenticity and honesty – I’ve gotten better at not hiding my true self in social interactions with others
7 of Cups – choosing – I’m still working on this one! I can get very overwhelmed by all my creative ideas for new projects and courses
7 of Wands – assertiveness – I’ve had numerous opportunities to practice being assertive in business, my relationship, and in a very specific interaction with my bank!
EXTRA STUFF:
*Fun Tip: you can always look at your cards for your last year (prior age) or next year (I’ll be 44 soon, which will be an 8 year for me!) – this will give you an even more expanded perspective on how these cards operate in your life.
**If your age first adds up to 10 (before you further condense it to just ONE number), you’re extra lucky!!! This means you actually have two sets of cards!!! You’re going to want to look at all the 10’s (Wheel of Fortune, and all the minor 10’s) AND the 1’s (The Magician and all the Aces)….this shows that your year will be a transition year where you’ll be wrapping many things up and starting new projects and new directions.
Journalling Questions:
Ask these questions for each card…
♥ What area(s) of your life does this card show up in? And how? (Can you connect it to an experience, challenge or opportunity you’ve had recently, in your current age?)
♥ How are you “working through” each card’s lessons at your current age?
