Miss Michele's Horoscope Spread

Miss Michele is doing a Horoscope Spread for 2008. At the beginning and end of each month, we will look back and see how the trends and themes indicated in the tarot manifested themselves in that month.

The year begins with the Three of Pentacles, an emphasis on work and learning in January. This card shows a financial endeavor off to a good start. With new bookkeeping and tracking software and a clear vision and goals for 2008, this card makes a lot of sense already. Miss Michele may also undertake a small home renovation project, such as painting.

February's card warns Miss Michele to rest or she will once again fall ill. The Ten of Swords indicates forced rest or illness, as well as the possibility of a friend's betrayal, which will, in turn, make me extremely weary and tired, and perhaps even physically ill.

Things get better in March with the Two of Cups. Either I will reconcile with the friend from February, or things will get a lot better in terms of career and business partnerships. Things with RECON may begin to come to fruition in terms of profitability as we complete our third issue under new ownership. This one will be on time and as close to perfect as three people can make a magazine!

The Four of Swords, in April, indicates yet another need for rest. I should take it easy in regard to paintball as the season launches. Spring is a time for renewal, and I will start to feel overwhelmed before the paintball season even gets into full swing. I'll be longing for a vacation. Will it come? It looks like it will, as I drew the clarification card of The Chariot.

May brings still more travel, as the Six of Swords figures prominently. I say prominently because this is always a strong card for me, and indicates travel for business and also an escape from worry. I will be leaving behind the stress of April--things will not be as bad as I imagined. I can handle it all!

June brings the Major Arcana, Judgment. This is a scary card, as it heralds a major choice to make and a new life direction. My inner conflicts regarding my work will disappear and I will be presented with new opportunities. I will be given the chance to reinvent myself. I will also receive long overdue payments.

The Queen of Cups in July warns me to trust my intuition, perhaps in regard to decisions made in June. Coming as it does in the heart of the summer, and the paintball season, I don't know what to make of this.

The Two of Rods, in August, reveals yet another business opportunity, and perhaps a move. Last August we were pretty sure we were going to be moving to Salt Lake City, and that never came to fruition. What will take place this year? I will be frustrated by waiting...things are in progress, but not moving rapidly enough.

September, with the Ace of Swords showing, brings whatever came up in August to fruition. The time is now.

October brings the Page of Cups. Could indicate news of a birth or a wedding.

November brings a curious Major Arcana, the Death card. I can only imagine that whatever plans were set into motion in August, culminating in September and becoming reality in October means I must release something from the past in November. Perhaps too much work or unprofitable ventures?

Finally, December 2008 brings the Queen of Rods, indicating balanced career and family interests, and, to come full circle, more career success!

The General Atmosphere for the year is indicated by the Knight of Swords. Knights typically indicate new people and changes. As we can see by the ups and downs of the 12 months, and the prominence of swords in this reading, 2008 will be a year of change. It will be a year with an emphasis on business and rapid movements, but not a lot of heartfelt emotions. It will feel as if every day and month is a battle as I fight to hold on to the present but, in reality, need to let it go for positive change to come about.

Emphasis in 2008 will be on rapid activity, some of it forced, as well as feminine influence, indicated by two Queens.
