How to find your yearly cards

This is more of a card science post for those that want to dive into their yearly cards on your own. So, most may be familiar with their Birth Cards, but each birth card is part of a 13 Card Life Path that lays out the energy or destiny of your life. It’s a systematic guide for your life here on earth.

The Lifepath is taken from the Grand Solar Spread. The Grand Solar Spread is the Life Spread, or the Mundane Spread. It’s our spread here on Earth.

These are your cards with you for life. They are the macro timeframe for you to consider. Your Mercury card will tell you how you think or what you think about. Your Venus card will tell you how you love and what you love. It also describes your relationships at home. I am a 2 of Spades, if I were to take my life path out of this spread, and read it right to left, you get the Life spread below.

Please note that the 4 of Diamonds is the moon card and technically is numbered 0 for our purposes. The Moon is our gentle support and guidance to help us along this path.

Then you arrive at the 2 of Spades, the Birth Card of this Spread. This is your primary energy, it’s the energy you shine to the world by following the cosmic path below.

• 8 of Hearts (Mercury): How you think and what you think about.

• 6 of Clubs (Venus): How you love and what you love. Also describes your relationships and home.

• 6 of Spades (Mars): What gives you purpose, passion and energy.

• Queen of Hearts (Jupiter): How you personally and professional grow. Also what career choices work for you.

• 10 of Clubs (Saturn): The lessons we are born to learn in this life. Negative patterns holding you back.

• 8 of Diamonds (Uranus): The pivotal change in your life that gives you unlimited potential. Also rules real-estate matters.

• King of Spades (Neptune): What you dream about and what you fear in life.

• 3 of Hearts (Pluto): Your shadow self that requires deep inner work over your lifetime to access the positive side of this card.

• Ace of Clubs (Result or 10th Card): As you grow, this is the energy you receive after working on your Pluto card.

• Queen of Clubs (Cosmic Lesson or 11th/Jack Card): Like Saturn, this is the energy we must take responsibility for as we grow.

• 10 of Spades (Cosmic Moon or 12th/Queen Card): As you continue to develop, this card represents the energy you are learning to embody as your own.

• 5 of Clubs (Cosmic Reward or 13th/King Card): As we are growing, this is the power that we are capable of owning. It may come later in life when we attain the positive aspects of this energy.

90 Quadrations/Spreads

Now we also get yearly cards and spreads. This is more of a micro view on your cards that gives you more specific information about the year ahead. The year begins on your birthday which gives you a brand new 13 Card Yearly Spread that will guide you along your journey.

Let’s take the King of Hearts as an example. See where the King of Hearts sits in the Grand Solar Spread in the Mars/Mercury position.

We play the Life Spread the first year of our life. But what happens when the King of Hearts turns 1?

You can see the King of Hearts move to the position where the 2 of Clubs sits in the Grand Solar Spread. Moving from right to left and top to bottom, you can map your yearly spread.

• Mercury: 8 of Spades

• Venus: Jack of Clubs

• Mars: 10 of Spades

• Jupiter: 5 of Hearts

• Saturn: King of Clubs

• Uranus: 7 of Hearts

• Neptune: 2 of Diamonds

• Pluto: 2 of Spades

• Result: 9 of Clubs

Now you can continue with your 11th-13th cards, but for yearly interpretations, most of the work is done from Mercury to your Yearly Result.

• Please note that your Yearly Karma card in this example would be the 2 of Clubs because that is the position you are renting for the year.

• Also note that your positive Karma card is the 9 of Spades in this example because the 9 of Spades is sitting in your position this year and owes you energetic rent.

Vertical Cards

I also want to share with you how to add your vertical cards to this mix. Vertical cards work moving up from your birth card in the spread. For the King of Hearts Age 1 Spread, you can see the light blue represents the vertical cards moving up, and then going to the bottom of the spread and continuing to move up.

We start with the King of Hearts as the Birth Card, and then have a vertical Mercury of the 7 of Diamonds, a vertical Venus of the 6 of Clubs, a vertical Mars of the Ace of Diamonds, and so on. So the Vertical cards look like this.

• Vertical Mercury: 7 of Diamonds

• Vertical Venus: 6 of Clubs

• Vertical Mars: Ace of Diamonds

• Vertical Jupiter: 6 of Diamonds

• Vertical Saturn: 4 of Clubs

• Vertical Uranus: King of Spades

• Vertical Neptune: 2 of Diamonds

We use a Vertical card for the Planets. Depending on what column you are in, you may not have a vertical Neptune card.

Vertical cards add extra details to the main card in the spread. They might represent a person in connection with the main card or they may give extra details about a situation.

Put it all together

So putting it all together you have a King of Hearts at Age 1 with a Yearly Spread that looks like this.

• Mercury: 8 of Spades with Vertical 7 of Diamonds

• Venus: Jack of Clubs with Vertical 6 of Clubs

• Mars: 10 of Spades with Vertical Ace of Diamonds

• Jupiter: 5 of Hearts with Vertical 6 of Diamonds

• Saturn: King of Clubs with Vertical 4 of Clubs

• Uranus: 7 of Hearts with Vertical King of Spades

• Neptune: 2 of Diamonds. No Vertical since it is the same card

• Pluto: 2 of Spades. No Vertical

• Result: 9 of Clubs. No Vertical

You can do this for any year to forecast your year

Look at the King of Hearts at age 6.

The spread on the left is the main or horizontal cards. And the spread on the right is the Vertical card spread. Remember that the main/horizontal cards are the main energy and the vertical cards are more like supporting details. Note that in the vertical spread, there is no Neptune card due to the Column it sits in. And just to test yourself again, the cards are below for the King of Hearts at age 6.

• Mercury: King of Diamonds/7 of Diamonds

• Venus: 3 of Clubs/Ace of Clubs

• Mars: Queen of Spades/Queen of Diamonds

• Jupiter: 9 of Clubs/4 of Clubs

• Saturn: 8 of Clubs/9 of Diamonds

• Uranus: 4 of Diamonds/3 of Spades

• Neptune: 3 of Spades

• Pluto: 6 of Hearts

• Result: 4 of Spades

How to combine this information

Once you find your yearly spread and write it down, it’s time to start interpreting your cards.

1. Find the spread that corresponds to your age.

2. Take into account the number of the card. A 5 of Clubs versus a 4 of Club has a huge energy difference, so I always look at the Numerology first.

3. Then I look at the Suit to see what it tells me.

4. I look at the card as a whole and understand the low and high expressions

5. Then you will need to understand what planetary spot your card falls in. Use the guide above where I wrote about how the planets/positions can influence your card. Saturn is going to show you your lessons for the year, but if the card falls in Jupiter this might represent your blessings for the year. For Mars it might represent your passions or legal karma for the year.

For paid subscribers I will share my custom made spreads and chart interpretation sheets below so that you can do this on your own if you wish.

I’ll be doing a video series on this information as well and will upload it here and to YouTube. I plan to show you how to find your 7 Year Spreads, yearly Karma and Yearly long Range card in this series.
