Hello 😊 from Boolaroo and welcome to the first Oracle post for 2024! I hope the end of the calendar year was as magical and love-filled as you hoped. We had a pretty quiet New Year’s Eve as we have a fireworks-shy dog (and another who couldn’t care less!), so we enjoyed a quiet night in. This week, I’ve done a combination of weeding and cleaning up front and back yards at home, as well as sorting and putting away stock on shelves at the Boolaroo Showroom. I’ve also been thinking about what sort of year I want to have – well, I’ve been thinking about that for some time but am now actually putting pen to paper in my new diary 😊. So that’s what’s inspired today’s Oracle offering. I am available for In-person readings at Boolaroo as well as Email readings all through January, and am excited to offer these as a positive and uplifting experience to get you enthusiastic about the year ahead. This post is also intended as an opportunity to kick start your year inspired by your Personal Tarot Year Card – let’s get into it.
Now, let’s get into today’s Oracle Inspiration for you! Numerology and Tarot can offer some insight into the energy of the coming year and while a universal tarot year card is useful for world events, your Personal Tarot Year Card is specific to you. This is how you work it out: add the numerals of your birthdate and this year together and reduce to a number between 1 and 22. For eg, mine is 4 Feb 2024 –> 4+2+2+0+2+4 = 14. If your answer comes to 23 or above, add those two numerals together.
Here is the list of Major Arcana cards that correspond with your birthdate this year, the main keywords associated with the card, followed by a selection of words that also describe different aspects of each card. Choose which resonate with you for the purposes of this exercise. As ever, trust your intuition to choose the right one for you.
