My Tarot Year Card Moments 2025

You don't need to sling the cards every five minutes to gain insights and wisdom from the Tarot.

Your year card as your annual growth symbol based on your date of birth can offer a glimpse into possibilities and guidance on how to proceed.

My year card for 2025 is The Chariot.

This card suggests breaking free from established settings and leaving your comfort zone for new opportunities and growth.

At the beginning of the year I was wondering how this card would unfold for me over the coming months, but I had a strong feeling that I needed something new - new experiences, adventures, locations, and even a new place to live.

While I enjoyed many new adventures by visiting new places (see my YouTube channel), I have also decided to sell my house after 30 years of it being my home. The moment came at the start of summer that I knew I was ready to leave and move on.

There is so much of my history in this house, but now I'm ready for the future and new beginnings.

Being wrapped up in a safe place of the past started to make me feel stuck. My main aim is to downsize, so I've been getting rid of furniture and possessions, as my new place will be much smaller.

Downsizing also means so much more freedom and lightness.

It can be daunting to let go of what you’ve known and loved for so long, and though challenges are bound to arise, that’s what keeps life exciting—and it leaves me feeling more vibrant than ever.

While The Chariot certainly reflects my urge to embark on a new path and the weight of the choice I’ve made, Major Arcana cards often reveal forces that lie beyond our control, appearing suddenly and reshaping the journey in surprising ways.

When I went for a routine eye test and check-up in May, I was told I had cataracts in both eyes and needed operations. I was referred to the local eye clinic for surgery.

As you can imagine, that was quite a shock at first, but then I realised the amazing opportunity this would offer.

I could have my eyes fixed, so I wouldn't need to wear glasses anymore.

A life time of wearing glasses would come to an end.

But of course the path towards that end goal wasn't smooth.

It was a long road, shadowed by fears of what might go wrong. Still, I knew I had to face it—cataracts would eventually make me go blind anyway, and my vision was already pretty rubbish. So much so that I stepped away from blogging, unable to bear the strain of screens. 

Now, after the whole experience, both my eyes are restored—and I enjoy perfect vision.

I quite literally see life through a new lense. It's amazing🤩

And the first thing I felt I wanted to do was to write this blog post, a little life update reflected in my year card, The Chariot.

⭐How has your year card treated you so far? How has it reflected your life this year?⭐

Let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear from you 💚

Warmest wishes,

Christiane

Get Unstuck Tarot Spread

Since the UK Brexit referendum in 2016, global events have become more and more surreal and crazy.

Whe've had to put up with a pandemic and lockdowns, the climate crisis, chaotic leadership, war in Ukraine and the Gaza conflict...no doubt that's just the beginning.

It's not surprising that many people feel traumatised, which has caused an increase in mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

Millions of people lack direction during these unsettling times as we are all questioning our way of life, what brought us to this point and where the heck are we going from here.

If you feel stuck in your life - perhaps you are thinking about changing your career, letting go of a relationship, moving countries, living off-grid, starting a business, or making some other profound change - then perhaps you want to try the Get Unstuck Tarot Spread.

This spread is designed to help you make the right choices, overcome insecurities and self-doubt, denial, procrastination and perhaps even self-sabotage.

• What are you struggling with in terms of choice and decision-making?
• What is keeping you in a place where you can't seem to move forward?

Sounds dramatic, but in reality this energy is often lingering in the background without us realising and can affect various areas in our lives at once.

Pay attention to just one area that needs resolving, and it can have a positive effect on everything else.

When we become aware of it, we can begin to do something about it.

Here is a three-card spread you can try to get unstuck:

1. Where in your life are you feeling stuck right now?

You will probably already know the answer to this question, but pulling a card can offer you deeper insight.

2. What is the underlying cause?

Focus here on internal battles, blocks, attitudes, beliefs, vices.

3. What can you do to get unstuck?

An action you can take to get unstuck. This may not be the holy grail of solutions, but at least a first step towards untanglement.

The Get Unstuck Tarot Spread is a simple spread with straight-forward questions - from getting unstuck to getting inspired to get moving again.

Warmest wishes,

Permission To BE Cards

Our state of mind is complex and fragile. Most of the time we are focused on DOING and (OVER-)THINKING rather than BEING.

We don’t allow sufficient time to just BE, but now you can manifest change with my printable Permission to BE Cards.

Uncomfortable feelings, emotions and perceptions are often blocked out as we find it hard to face the pain they often cause.

Healing takes place, when we face the discomfort and sit with it for a while, so we can learn to accept and move forward.

Sometimes we are deeply entangled in acting in a particular way, because we feel obliged to live up to other people’s or society’s needs and expectations.

This may include working too hard or keep going in a job or relationship that no longer serves us.

We sometimes are up against prejudice and obstacles because of our gender, race or ideas and opinions.

We then need to challenge those obstacles within ourselves to break through and beyond.

Then there are the barriers and limiting beliefs we have cultivated ourselves, often because of the way we were brought up and as a result of trauma.

Self-Exploration

Drawing a card every day (or as often as you are called to do so) encourages you to question your ingrained habits, beliefs, attitudes, perceptions, and insecurities.

The prompts are intentionally open to interpretation to allow deeper exploration by generating questions and find solutions.

Some are very vague and meant to be humorous to encourage you to BE less serious and more light-hearted, having fun even when life seems a struggle.

This is a printable mindful activity card set for personal development, healing and transformation.

Simply print, cut out the cards and the mini reading mat, and draw a card.

• What does the card mean to you?
• How does it fit into your life?
• Is this something you are struggling with?
• Is this something you have been avoiding or are in denial about?
• How does it make you feel?
• Imagine Being like this or the persona. What would it BE like?
• What are you learning from it?

The Permission to BE Cards Set contains

• 108 cards

• six blank cards for your own choices that are meaningful to you

• mini reading mat (on the image above it's in purple)

• brief instructions

It comes as a 12-page PDF document that you can easily print on your favourite colour cardstock.

⭐Exclusively available on my Ko-Fi space⭐
