January can be an unpleasant month: back to work, study, or school, resolutions broken, financial difficulties, and more. Here is a spread that lets you reflect on the good things and what to do next to make your dreams come true.
It is one of my 'magic square' spreads. (Here are the others: From worry to peace, I want, I have, I need, I deserve, and two variations here and here.)
The spread is not as complicated as it looks. Simply read the cards that the legend below the image directs you to.
(If you are new to tarot reading, look at the very brief introduction to card reading in Journaling prompts.)
The 'magic' of the magic square spreads lies in the perspective shift you have to make when you read cards that you have already read (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) in a different mind-set. It transforms the spread into a creative exercise where you look at the cards from a different angle.
Cards 1, 2, and 3: Three things that gave life meaning in 2018.
Cards 4, 5, and 6: Three things you are grateful for right now.
Cards 7, 8, and 9: Three things you are looking forward to in 2019.
Cards 1, 5, and 9: Three things you have learned.
Cards 3, 5, and 7: Three things that will bring you closer to your dreams.
