The energy of the year
A year of endings that clear the way. Declutter — relationships, work, possessions already over. Hard and pivotal. Resist dragging out what is finished; the rebirth is on the other side of the release.
- Hard year — a demanding year that clarifies by pressure — the lesson is in what it strips away.
- Pivotal year — a fated, turning-point year — decisions made now echo for a long time.
Why Death rules this year
Each personal year is coloured by one of the 22 arcana — here, Death. The year borrows that arcanum's nature: its gift when you work with it, its shadow when you don't. Read Death in full to see both poles.
How to find your personal year
Your personal year isn't a calendar trick — it's read off the age perimeter of your own matrix, so it turns on your birthday, not on 1 January. To know which year you're actually standing in, run your chart.
