The beginning of a new year is an obvious time for divination. If you use the tarot, you have very likely already read your cards for the year ahead. But there's another way the tarot can guide you through the next 12 months: your tarot year card. This method uses a kind of numerology based on your birth date to pick a card which indicates the issues and lessons to be learned during the course of the year. Even if you're not familiar with the tarot and don't own a tarot deck, you can still work out your year card (and it's easy to find the meanings for the card you've picked online).

Tarot Year Card
To work out your Tarot Year Card, add together your birth day and month with the digits of the year ahead to get a 4-digit number. So for example, if you were born on 17th May, your calculation would look like this:
When you have found your 4-digit number, add the 4 digits together. In our example you would therefore add together 2 + 0 + 4 + 3 = 9
If your answer is a number between 1-21 then that is the number of your Tarot Year Card. If the calculation gives an answer higher than 21 (e.g. 25), add the digits together to get a number within the range 1-21 (e.g. 2 + 5 = 7).
The number you end up with should correspond with one of the Major Arcana Tarot Cards, as listed below:
- Magician
- High Priestess
- Empress
- Emperor
- The Lovers
- The Hierophant/Pope
- The Chariot
- Strength
- The Hermit
- The Wheel of Fortune
- Justice
- The Hanged Man
- Death
- Temperance
- The Devil
- The Tower
- The Star
- The Moon
- The Sun
- Judgement
- The World
