1. Centre (three cards)
What’s surrounding you right now. These cards can be very loosely interpreted, looking at the energies and influences around you. There is plenty of room to maneuver here – how do you react when you see these cards? Do they make you feel contented, proud, annoyed, confused?
2. Dusk (two cards)
What’s leaving your life at the end of this year. Interpret these as ‘past’ cards – important influences in the past year which have brought you to the centre cards above, but which are now losing their significance. How do you feel about these cards? Are these energies you would like to carry forwards, or are you glad to see the back of them?
3. Horizon (two cards)
What’s coming into your life as you move into the new year. You may already be feeling a glimmer of these energies and influences moving in as you look forward into the new year. How do they relate to each other, and how do they relate back to the cards which are leaving your life?
4. Focus (two cards)
Where to focus your energy in the new year. Here are some suggestions for new year’s resolutions!
5. Tools (one card)
A resource you can draw upon to help you. I like a ‘final word’ card in my tarot readings, and here I felt that it should be in the form of a tool to keep handy for the first months of the new year. You might want to adapt this position to suggest somewhere to not focus energy, or if you like to build an ‘outcome’ card into your readings then this card could also serve that purpose.
