Year Ahead Spread, 2017

Last January, I shared my personal Year Ahead Spread for 2016.

Turning the Wheel to 2017

The Wheel is always turning, whether we mark that turn or not. Nonetheless, it is easy to let the Wheel turn without acknowledgement, and so we recognize turns of the Wheel and honor them at certain points.   Here I’ve drawn the cards that numerically represent 2017: The Wheel comes first, not only to acknowledge…

Reading with the Orbifold — Major Associations

In any standard tarot deck, there are a certain proportion of Minor Arcana, Court Cards, and Major Arcana, leading to a certain mathematical probability of cards coming up in any given reading. The ratio is 40:16:22 or 20:8:11 (reduced), or a percentage of just over 50% Minor Arcana, just over 20% Courts, and just under…
