Instead of another list of resolutions to feel bad about at the end of 2023 because you didn’t get to finish them (lots of pressure, I know), why not do a 2023 tarot spread to help you find your New Year manifestations?
By pulling the cards and understanding what they mean for you in the specific context of your life, you’ll be able to use them to set your intentions and expectations for the year ahead.
According to numerologists, 2023 will be the year of the Chariot because 2+0+2+3 = 7. The Chariot is the 7th card of the major arcana and it generally symbolizes forward motion and victory.
The Chariot is the card linked to the astrological sign of Cancer. In the Chariot, we find the direction of powerful emotions towards tangible goals. Overt action is directed by deeply internal motivations.
If you’re a Cancer, you can claim 2023 as your year, but even if you’re not, you can take it as a positive cue to jump into action and take charge of your life the way that the Charioteer holds on to his reins.
You pull one card for each month that will serve as the general “theme” of that month and a card that serves as an overall theme of the year. This leaves you with 13 cards in total.
Your first card will be the card of your year, not the card of the year. Your card of the year may not be predictive but it could be a clue from you to you on what to pay attention to in 2023.
