Reader,
Every year carries its own kind of growth. You feel it in your body before you ever name it. Something shifts. Something settles. Something opens.
As the conversations about end-of-year reflection ramp up, I want to share a few tools this month that you can experiment with as you meet your own end of year.
First up: Your Tarot Year card.
The idea is simple. Your birth month plus your birth day plus the year you’re reflecting on or stepping into. The total points to one of the Major Arcana cards. That card becomes a sort of lens for the year.
It’s not a prediction – more like a way of understanding the inner story you’ve been living or the one that’s starting to unfold.
I first learned this from Doug Upchurch and Colette Baron-Reid years ago in a tarot class. It stuck with me because it offers such an easy entry point into deeper insight. It helps you see things you may have already sensed, but hadn’t quite put words to, yet.
It can highlight:
- The places you’re stretching or the growth edges coming up
- The parts of you needing more support
- The patterns you keep meeting again and again
This is where tarot becomes less about getting “answers” and more about helping you stay aligned. It gives your year a shape and you get to choose how you move within it.
How to Calculate Your Card
The beauty of this method is that you don’t even have to know tarot or have a deck to do this. All you have to do is calculate the card and then look up your card and it’s meaning online.
- Birth month + birth day + the year you’re exploring.
- Reduce the total to a number between one and twenty-two.
- If it’s higher than twenty-one, add the digits together.
22 (2 + 2) becomes four.
36 (3 + 6) becomes nine.
Example:
Birthday: April 15
Looking ahead:
4 + 15 + 2026 = 2045
2 + 0 + 4 + 5 = 11 → Justice
Looking back:
4 + 15 + 2025 = 2044
2 + 0 + 4 + 4 = 10 → The Wheel
Once you have your card, that’s where the fun begins.
