In the beginning of the month I mentioned that I would be adding a reading option to my offerings, today is the day I do so. What I want to do here is share a little bit on how the reading will work.

The template of the reading spread will be the astrological map of the whole sign house system, but in the reading I will not be overtly considering the planets nor zodiac signs, I will instead be using the narrative of the houses vis a vis the cards situated there as they play out for the year. A basic outline of the spread and how I will be reading the cards is pictured below. I will begin the reading with the general tone for the year ahead, underscored by the cards that land in the angular spots, positions 1,4,7 and 10. This will sketch out how you will enter and move about the year in general, the lay of the land so to speak. Then I will go into the inner and outer aspects of your year, underscored by positions 1-6 (inner), and 7-12 (outer). By inner and outer you can read personal /private versus public.

Once this general foundation is set, I will look at relationships, starting from cards opposite each other, and how this will color your year. Getting into the specifics of the reading and how they pertain to your year, I look at positional relationships, triangulations, making special note of particular considerations as they arise, bringing focus to areas as the cards indicate. Lastly, I will write up a month to month snappy view of the landscape.

I will say that even though for this reading no questions are necessary, I do always encourage a question or focus area, this provides context and that is always welcome. If you have a particular topic or goals you want to see play out next year, this spread can aid in highlighting them, helping you gauge potential and possibilities.
