Welcome to 2025, magickal souls! 🌙✨ The start of a new year is a time for reflection, intention-setting, and dreaming about the future. For many of us, 2024 was a whirlwind of change and challenges. Personally, I faced a year filled with health issues, job changes, and moving house twice. It was one of the most intense years I’ve experienced, with moments that tested my resilience and faith. But through it all, my tarot practice was a steady source of clarity, grounding, and hope. Tarot reminded me to trust the process, to find lessons in every challenge, and to embrace the unknown with courage.

I want to share this New Year Tarot Spread with you because it’s a ritual that has helped me reconnect with myself and the universe, especially during times of uncertainty. It’s a way to reflect on the past, align with the present, and step into the future with intention and confidence.

My New Year Spread Interpretation

When I pulled my cards for this spread, I received the following:

1. Past Year in Review (Four of Wands): The Four of Wands represents celebration, community, and finding joy in milestones. Despite the challenges of 2024, this card reminded me of the moments of joy and connection that anchored me through the chaos. It speaks to the importance of recognising the good times, no matter how small, and celebratingpersonal achievements.
2. Current 
3. Energy (Queen of Pentacles): The Queen of Pentacles is a nurturing, grounded figure who embodies abundance and practicality. Right now, I’m focused on creating stability in my life—both financially and emotionally. This card reassures me that I have the resources and strength to take care of myself and those around me, and that it’s important to balance nurturing others with self-care.
4. Opportunities for 2025 (The World): The World is a card of completion, fulfilment, and new beginnings. This card suggests that 2025 will be a year of significant milestones and opportunities to step into my full potential. It also speaks to travel, expansion, and achieving long-term goals. For me, it’s a sign that everything I’ve been working towards is coming together.
5. Challenges Ahead (Three of Swords): The Three of Swords represents heartache, grief, and emotional challenges. It’s a reminder that difficult emotions may arise this year, but these moments of sorrow are opportunities for growth and healing. This card encourages me to process my emotions fully and not shy away from the pain, as it will ultimately lead to transformation and resilience.

As the overarching theme for 2025, this card reminds me to approach life’s challenges with grace and patience. It’s a call to trust my inner power and recognise that true strength comes from kindness, self-control, and emotional balance.

Why This Spread Matters

Reflecting on the past year is a powerful practice. For me, 2024 brought unexpected twists and turns—some good, some difficult. I learned that growth often comes from discomfort and that every challenge holds an opportunity for transformation.

Each card in this spread tells a story, offering insights into where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you’re headed. It’s a way to connect with your higher self and the universe, asking for guidance as you navigate the months ahead.

How to Use the Spread

1. Set Your Space: Before you start, create a sacred space. Light a candle, burn some incense, and ensure you’re in a quiet, peaceful environment. Take a few deep breaths to centre yourself. I love to add crystals to my space—amethyst for clarity, rose quartz for self-love, and black tourmaline for protection.
2. Shuffle Your Cards: As you shuffle your deck, focus on your intentions for the New Year. Ask the cards for clarity, guidance, and insight. Take your time and trust your intuition.
3. Lay Out the Spread: Place the cards in a crescent shape or a layout that feels right to you. There’s no right or wrong way to do this—follow what feels natural.
4. Journal Your Insights: Write down your interpretations in a journal. Reflecting on your readings over time can bring deeper understanding. I find that journaling allows me to see patterns and themes that I might have missed in the moment.
