Overall

Mostly minor arcana cards, meaning that situations in the coming year are those that you can influence and affect. So don’t sit back and let life happen to you – make it happen for you. Quite a few cups and coins, indicating emotional and material issues are pre-dominant, but not in a negative way overall, although some situations will need some management by you. Self-actualisation in terms of creativity and learning – this has a real ‘feel good’ factor attached to it for you.

1^st House – this is about you, how you project yourself and how others see you. Here you have the Lovers card – indicating a relationship issue and some choices to be made. Gemini (the Twins) rules this card. Maybe this is about the ‘new’ and the ‘old’ you, perhaps a bit of a struggle going on here.

2^nd House – this is about your money and self worth, things that make you feel safe and secure. You have the 5 of Swords here, which indicates perhaps some dispute and a win / lose situation. Perhaps a family argument over money or similar. Basically, no-one is really going to win here, perhaps a compromise would be a good idea.

3^rd House – Your day-to-day environment; communication, neighbours, siblings, short journeys. 6 of Pentacles – generosity, charity, being kind to others and doing good. Perhaps work or fund-raising for a local charity, or a generous donation. Or something very altruistic. This is you – doing something positive and good for the charitable good locally.

4^th House – family, home, roots and emotional security. Prince of Cups – Fire of Water. A young man (or possibly girl) dominating this, their needs; a teen or twenties – and their needs are very emotional – they are perhaps dreaming a little too much romantically and not being practical. They will end up in a situation that will bring out the mothering in you. This situation will dominate your family life this year. A youngster’s love situation going wrong.

5^th House – Your self expression, creativity and everything that is fun for you. The Star card – fantastic – everything will be what you hope for in this respect and better. And it’s not short-lived, whatever you do in this aspect has a longer term future. Good for you – go for it!

6^th house – Work and health. Attitude to work, daily life. 5 of Coins – not so good I’m afraid. A bit of a rough patch, possible redundancy or temporary loss of income. I get the impression you may be supporting others in some way, and perhaps won’t be able to do so in the coming year very easily – or at least not as much as before.

7^th house – long term relationships, romantic and business. 7 of Swords. This can sometimes indicate deception, or things not being how they appear at face value. Not necessarily romantically, and I wonder here whether there’s something legal going on where you perhaps don’t yet have all the facts that you should. Or something might even be a little dishonest (or corrupt).

8^th House – joint finances and possessions, may also be about personal psychology and sexuality (woo! hoo!). Here you have the Queen of Pentacles – which is exactly where you would want to be. This is you – and you are in charge of this House and all its properties, in a loving, caring and also practical way. This is what you will be minding in the coming year.

9^th House – Higher learning and your belief systems – and you have another 9 here too – the 9 of Cups. This is a very lucky card, it’s the ‘wish’ card and signifies that you will achieve the self actualisation that you crave. Lovely!

10^th House – Career / profession, responsibilities, your reputation and standing. Interesting – here you have the 4 of Cups which is a card of dissatisfaction or boredom – perhaps signifying that you don’t feel that you have the recognition yet that you would like professionally or by reputation. I think this might come when you achieve what you desire in your 9^th House (higher learning).

11^th House – your aspirations and personal goals; social groups. King of Cups. A loving man in your life is key here. I don’t know if you have met him yet or not, but he is key to your feeling of overall fulfilment. Without him, you don’t quite feel whole.

12^th House – Privacy, secrets, karma. The Magician – this is a marvellous card. This is the card of going forwards with all the tools you need to do / be anything you want to be. I don’t know if you’re a bit shy and hide your light under a bushel – if so, no need – you’ve got everything you need to be the success you want to be. Go for it! And Happy New Year.
