What do the tarot cards say for the last months of the year? Astral perspectives: Tarot predictions for a successful end to the year

Another year is almost over, the temperatures have dropped and a few Christmas lights have appeared on the city streets. What do the tarot cards have in store for us in the final months of this year? In this article, we'll see it together, sign by sign.

Tarot and astrology

The connections between tarot and astrology are manifold, although they are two seemingly very different systems: one with arcana, numbers and cards, the other with the movement of the planets in relation to the earth. Just as the alphabet in the Italian language consists of 5 vowels and 16 consonants, the alphabet of astrology is made up of 12 signs of the zodiac and 10 planets, and the alphabet of Tarot consists of 22 major and 56 minor arcana. The letters of the alphabet combine with each other to form words, then sentences and finally increasingly complex periods. In the same way, the planets and signs of the zodiac in the astral cards and the Major and Minor Arcana on the table combine during the 'game" to create meaning for the counsellor. Although, as we have just seen, they use two completely different languages, astrology and cartomancy always refer to the same thing: they want to know and analyse the future of those who turn to them. I am very curious to analyse these two oracular systems and make connections between them, to compare these two languages that are so apparently different and extremely complex, and in this article I have summarised an interpretation for each zodiac sign for the coming months of the year.

Aries: The nameless arcanum or death

For you, young Aries, one of the cards I have drawn is the Nameless Arcanum or Death, which is a complex card but always signifies a transition, to or from something: it could be that you are ending something important, it could be that you need to go somewhere else. In November and December you should embrace change and follow your instincts, even at the expense of friends or family who may advise you to go in the opposite direction. The card of the Unnamed Arcanum is followed by the card of the Page of Wands: there is something positive about the change that is coming. I know that change is often unpleasant, even risky, but I have a feeling that this change in particular will make you feel extremely light.

Taurus: Ten of Cups

During these months, it will be difficult for you to realise your wishes. You are stuck in a kind of 'loss energy', or rather, it seems to me that you are anchored in your past. You regret something, maybe even something you've lost, but it's important that you try to distance yourself from it as much as possible, Taurus. Detach from this energy of disappointment, it is an energy of loss, because in reality the Ten of Cups is telling us that there is the potential to achieve maximum fulfilment, but if you remain stubbornly anchored in the past, it will be very difficult to get closer to what you so desire.

Gemini: Queen of Swords and the Fool

There's a message about starting over, about putting yourself on the line. It's as if a very important but cheerful, idyllic phase has come to an end and now something else is beginning. Not necessarily in a negative way, mind you! It's just more complex. Perhaps with some obstacles. Some of you may feel that you have 'wasted' a lot of energy and invested a lot in something that you thought was special, even idyllic, but then turned out not to be. Don't beat yourself up! No energy, if it is positive, is ever wasted. And then there's the Fool's card to show you the way: You can make a fresh start and have all the energy you need to make it happen.

Cancer: the chariot

There is a need for clarity. Clarity of purpose, clarity of desire. In this reading, the card Chariot came up, a very powerful card that tells you to get on the chariot and give your life direction. Something changes on an existential level. It's as if you see an opportunity around the next corner. The arcana of justice and temperance that appear in this reading tell you that these are months of change, but be careful! With Justice, you will need to be very active: If you have a sense of an opportunity, be intuitive! Seize that opportunity vigorously. Don't wait for things to 'fall from the sky': you absolutely must take the reins of your life into your own hands.

Leo: The world and the Two of Cups

You have a clear mind, you have a clarity of mind, a clarity of thought that you must trust implicitly. Trust your intuitions, your ideas are powerful, they can also be realised, and you will also receive the right confirmations from your fellow human beings. You may come up against a few small obstacles, but even in this case, trust your intuition to help you overcome them. You will see that it will not disappoint you.

Pisces: side of the deniers

You have the potential for many things. In these last months of the year, there is the potential to do anything, because we have a side of Deniers in the middle. I'm talking about practical projects: There's the chance to get jobs, there's the chance to get projects off the ground and for creative people to get a different kind of visibility. Be open to new opportunities, start new things, be proactive.
