 Wheel of the Year Tarot Spread
 by Kim Huggens This spread is designed for use as a "What's in store for me this coming year?" spread, but it is slightly different from your usual month-by-month round-up spread. Instead of having cards representing each month of the year, and instead of looking at specificevents that will happen in the querent's life each month, this spread does not pay any attention to dates or months. It focuses on the themes that will run through thequerent's life for the next twelve months, and can also be used at any time of the year. Ihave found it to be most effective when done on birthdays or New Year's Eve, and itmakes a very nice 'gift reading' for a close friend.This spread is based on the Pagan 'Wheel of the Year.' The use of the eight festivals hereis are used as representations of concepts, just like we might use the different growthstages of a flower to represent different aspects of our lives. Even though the spread is based around concepts and festivals that have associations with dates and months of the year, this spread does not address
when
the events are going to happen. So, even if lotsof cards that indicate transition appear at Imbolc, it does not mean that transition willoccur around February 1st in the querent's life!The Wheel of the Year spread is most useful for Pagan or Wiccan querents, though forquerents who are unfamiliar with the concept of the Wheel of the Year, simpleexplanations about what each festival represents should be provided. There are
three cards
for each part or position of the spread, and there are
eight  positions or parts
. Since Yule represents the birth of the Sun from the depths of Winter,I begin the reading with that holiday.
 Yule/Winter Solstice:
Three cards. Yule is the time of the rebirth of the Sun from the
of 00
