THE MAGICIAN ~ 1

This is a time for making things happen. You will feel the winds of change flowing through you. You will feel charged with energy. You have the ability to influence the world around you. Things will change, because you yourself are changing. It is as if you need only point, and things will happen. The world is at your fingertips. You are in charge of your own destiny. Build things. Take matters into your own hands. Plant the seeds of your own future. Take command. Soak in the warmth of the sun. It will be a year of independence, strong will, enterprise, and new beginnings.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS ~ 2

This is a time when things come together. The past adds up. There is the present. And it is flowing off into the future in a continuous stream. You feel as if you are part of things. You feel connected. Part of the web. You see the picture emerge from the tapestry of your life. You may even feel "at one with the universe." What you do not changes everything. Flow with the currents. Launch projects when the time is right. Sail with the winds. Pay attention to your dreams. Go with your hunches. And when you don't know which way to turn, take a hot bath. Watch for the changing phases of the Moon. This will be a year to develop intuition, with an emphasis, on the need for harmony and balance. Not recommended for marriage, although relationships may be prominent this year.

THE EMPRESS ~ 3

This is a time for cultivating things. It is as if things are in no hurry to get finished up this year. They are like crops that you hear growing little in the sleepless night. You wait and worry over them, but there is no forcing a thing that is not ready to come into it's own. Watch, wait and preserve this year. Hang on and carry on with plans. Some things have to be raised, and some things have to reared. If something resists coming about, don't be in such a rush, instead be patient and giving. Incubate your ideas by sleeping on things before making decisions. For inspiration, get outside and look at the stars. This will be a year for emotional clarity, a time for creative expression, even the creation of new life.

THE EMPEROR ~ 4

This is a time for determining things. Batten down the hatches and full steam ahead for this year. The air may be changed with politics, and power is the name of the game. But it's all subject to which way the wind blows. And at all times remember you are in charge of your own life! As things take shape around you, get a foothold if you can. Focus on creating a semblance of order. Think in terms of plans and strategies. Anticipate the future moves of others. Make decisions and sense dangers. For inspiration watch a good thunderstorm. This will be a year to establish foundations and build something. This year finds you having to set boundaries, claim your own authority, and order your world. Stability is the goal.

THE HIEROPHANT ~ 5

This is a time for living up to things. You may start to feel as if you have to walk on water this year. The standards are extremely high, the challenges great, and nobody is satisfied with the results. Whatever is done must be done better than ever before. Whatever is assessed will be found missing something. But count your blessings. Self-righteousness may rule the scene, but few practice what they preach. When the public turns its critical eye on you, you must be sure to live up to the scrutiny. Take advantage of the chance to prove your own worth. Pay attention to details, follow guidelines, and serve others with dedication and enthusiasm. If you sense the intervention of a power outside yourself, consider it a sign. For inspiration, take a sauna, gaze into a fire, or just sit in the dark. Escape into things above and beyond yourself. This will be a year of a desire to be free and unrestricted, even though you will be dealing with conventional laws. Rebellion and restlessness could be present if you got into a rut in your Emperor year. Change I predominant this year, as well as an intense need to "get out there" to explore beyond you own world.

THE LOVERS ~ 6

This is a time for finding things out. The look of love is in your eyes this year. And you drink in the world around you. Sparks fly. In business, look for mergers and acquisitions. Consider a change in careers. The year will find you attracted by someone or something, to the point of distraction. Infatuations and love affairs run rampant in the woods. Things feel "predestined," even allurements and temptations. Some will test the waters of existing relationships and find them tepid. You may switch partners, alter positions, or change roles. Whatever you do, it will make you feel young again, new again, vital and alive. Read the look in others eyes, discover your sensuality, and return to nature. If you have trouble getting in touch with your own feelings, don't be afraid to take your clothes off. This will be a year of making a choice, usually about love and relationships. It's a time for commitment, responsibility, and family obligations. There's some kind of choice between risk and security. It's a time of combining the head with the heart, a time of integration.

THE CHARIOT ~ 7

There will be plenty of fires to put out. The environment may even seem unstable at times. Yet it's a time when rising stars tend to shine. Stay on top of things, and turn inward and muster up your courage, know that you can do it! Grasp the reins of your own life and pull your own strings. Heroic efforts will pay off suddenly in sure, swift, thrilling victories. To clear your mind of distractions, get some good strenuous physical exercise. This will be a year of purification of health. A time for gaining wisdom through change, even possible transformation. Spiritual questing and rejuvenation through nature.

STRENGTH ~ 8

This is time for having much strength. Steady does it this year. It is a time that calls for sacrifice. This is the year when you will find out what your past adds up to. You may even question its worth, and you may give up something, but hang there because this is a year of transition, a critical turning point. However you emerge from this, make it for the better. This is a time when rewards and punishments are handed out, not randomly mind you, but with equity and fairness. If you life seems to hang in the balance, don't be surprised, you cannot go forward just yet; you can only look back, with nostalgia or regret on the past. It is time of steady nerves, preparations and strength, for help with your problems; try yoga or other forms of peaceful meditation. Hang on to the moment; these are the good ole days. This will be a personal year where you'll find the strength to endure and to come into your own power. A time to wrestle with control issues, this 8 year is about manifesting and learning the laws of abundance.

THE HERMIT ~ 9

This is a time for understanding things. It is a time for hiding and seeking, when you will look for and find the answers to perplexing problems. It's also a year when you will be drawn into the silence of yourself. It's a good time for giving and taking professional advice. It is a good time to get off by yourself, take a break from the mundane, and escape the rat race and the routine. The time is right for correcting old habits and resolving long-standing differences. A light goes on, a voice cries from the wilderness, and suddenly the answers come, often from a small voice within you. To relax take a few deep breaths, drink tea, cook with herbs, touch stones, watch birds fly home to their nests and hold up a candle in the dark. This will be a year of major completions, endings, and closure, the 9 brings wisdom and connection to higher forces. It's also a time of great reward and mastery. You may be called upon to hold the lantern for others on the path.
