So, basically I have a confession to make.  I am addicted to planners.  There, I said it.  I have probably purchased twenty or more planners in my life, none of which I have ever used.  Oh, I get all excited for the first few days, maybe weeks, and put stuff down in it, but then it gets tossed aside like some lonely little toy, and is never seen again.  Well, until I come across it a year or two later when I feel that familiar tug of, “I’m such a loser. I planned nothing.”

Well, this year is different.  Different I tell you!  Not only did I ACTUALLY find a planner that I LOVE and I actually USE, I took this great little five day freebie thing called the Planathon by Amber McCue, and it got me all hot and bothered about planning.

Then I started thinking.  Since I am a tarot reader and it’s like, you know, my business, how could I use my beloved deck in helping me to plan for my life and business in 2015?  Well, it turns out I totally can, and now I can share that with you!

WINNING!

So, what are some of the ways we can use tarot cards to plan our year ahead.  Well, you can do a 12 months spread, for each month you place a card in position and use it as a forecast of the energetics of that month.  For example:  I just grabbed my deck and picked a card for January.  This card captures the energetics of this upcoming up month for me, and I was very please to see this card:

What does this card mean for me in the immediate new year?  Well, it means that I will be stepping into my calling, and that I will be experiencing a time of reflection and self evaluation.  It also means that i will open myself out more fully to a completely new way of being in my life, and that I will be doing work that not only is personally fulfilling to me, but helps and inspires others along the way.

Pretty awesome little card for January!

Now I will repeat this for each month for the next twelve, and I am going to make note of each card and the meaning for me right in the margin of my planner.  That way, I can use the cards and the energetics they carry as guideposts for 2015!  These will not replace my daily card practice, those will be the up-to-date energy for that day, which can be affected by all sorts of things that can happen between now and then.

Why don’t you grab your fav deck and pull a card right now for January?  Go ahead, I’ll wait.

So, did you?  Share in the comments what your card was!  If you know what this card means for you, let us know, and if you have no idea, that’s okay!  We can offer up some interpretations for you.

The other way you can use tarot for preparing for 2015 is by using a New Years Spread.  These are very popular, and they are a great way to shed the old and bring in the new.

One of my most favourite traditions in my family, is immediately after midnight on New Years Eve, we run upstairs and open the back door to say “Goodbye!” to the previous year, and then we run to the front door and say, “Welcome!” to the new year.  It is actually quite emotional, as another year of our lives has gone by, and the new year coming is so full of promise and hope.  And in the spirit of this tradition…

Here is a spread I created just for you!  You can download it right here.  The basics of this spread are to identify what you need to let go of for 2014, and also what you are most excited about for this upcoming year.

And if you do not want to do the spread for yourself, I am offering a 2015 Your Big Beautiful Year readings, and you can book them right here!

And as things are winding down for 2014, I invite you to use your tarot cards for some deep self reflection and personal development.  It is such a powerful yet beautiful tool to dive deeply into your own life and feelings.  One of the best resources for this type of work is a workbook called Tarot For Yourself by tarot matriarch Mary Greer.  

And in case you missed it, I will be launching something very yummy in the new year myself!  I am launching my very first ever online beginners tarot course called Dabbler to Diva, and if you would like to be invited to participate in this beta round of this class, not only will you get a steep discount, but you will also receive lifetime access to this training, as well as lifetime access to the private Facebook group!  And as an added bonus, you will get a discount on level 2 when it rolls out sometime in fall of 2015!
