A few months ago I asked the lovely Miss Michele to do my 2009, 12-Month Spread. I’ve had Miss Michele do these spreads for me a couple of times now and am always amazed in hindsight at how accurately they reflect the year’s activities. Looking back at April, May, and June 2009 I have to admit this reading is coming up with almost spooky accuracy. I just couldn’t resist sharing my reading with you.
In a long overdue 12-month, 13-card spread for my partner Serenity Bly (it’s the old shoemaker’s children situation!) Miss Michele has discovered that April 2009 is Serenity’s month to conquer the World. Whether that “world” is a video game, the blogosphere or some other endeavor, time will tell. But even better things are to come!
Overview: 2009 will be/is a year of learning and profit, during which time Serenity’s worst fears will be the stuff nightmares are made of. However, fearing and worrying is a waste of time as the worst will not materialize. (Ah, it so rarely does!) Serenity Bly takes time this year to learn how to manipulate her environment and hone her skills. She is studying, with an emphasis on the occult (well, go figure!) to get what she has a right to financially. (Don’t worry, dear readers, we’re not raising our rates here at Future-Tarot.) Serenity’s biggest worry will be working too hard. The word “possibilities” is literally whispering to Miss Michele during this reading.
April: The World
As already stated, April will present Serenity Bly with The World at her fingertips. Possibilities are ripe for, well, anything.
May: The Magician
By May, Serenity learns how to manipulate her environment and use the tools at her disposal to conquer the World, which presented itself in April. Although The Magician in Miss Michele’s preferred deck, Hanson-Roberts, is a man, Miss Michele detects a feminine energy in this card. It represents none other than the querent, who will use her intuition, intelligence and technical skills to keep her business going strong.
June: Seven of Pentacles
June brings additional emphasis on business and financial possibilities. With the Seven of Pentacles, she will begin to reap the rewards of several newly-launched passive income businesses and affiliate marketing Web sites, and will be afforded the opportunity to sit back and watch them grow. Just as things are taking off, now, she may consider a change of direction, as well.
July: King of Pentacles and Three of Swords
The King of Pentacles and Three of Swords stuck together during this reading to appear in July, leaving Miss Michele to draw one conclusion: a man will break Serenity’s heart. It will be someone she views as a mentor—perhaps even someone she meets in the business world. While it may not be a romantic encounter, the end result of a broken heart will sting as much as a love lost.
August: The Star
In August, The Star appears reminding Serenity of the power and strength of her intuition. There is a strong emphasis on the occult and, once again, great possibilities in front of her.
September: Six of Cups
The Six of Cups represents a joyful past. Serenity begins considering what she did right – in business and romance – in the past and begins longing for the way things were. What can she do to bring back elements of a happier time?
October: Eight of Pentacles
2009, for Serenity, is characterized by periods of learning and growth, followed by time to relax and enjoy those rewards. This continues with the Eight of Pentacles in October, when she may take a course or class, which will help grow her business further.
November: Judgment
And again, in November, she will rest to reap the rewards, this time characterized by the major arcane Judgment. She will be judged favorably by peers and may receive a cash settlement, related to real estate, an outstanding lawsuit, or money owed from a client.
December: Page of Swords
The Page of Swords comes bearing a message, and once again, the emphasis is on matters of business, learning and financial success. Serenity works hard to increase her intellect, but fears it is not enough. Pessimism rears its ugly head… the phrase for this hot Australian summer is: “This too shall pass.”
January: Ten of Swords
It all gets to be a bit too much come January, with the Ten of Swords heralding a forced rest. Two pages in the spread, along with the star and King of Pentacles may foretell of a pregnancy and, if that’s the case, there may be forced bed-rest in January. Otherwise an illness, or perhaps just sheer exhaustion, will force Serenity into a phase of withdrawal. She may feel as if all she wants to do is surrender to the Universe. Remember, Serenity, your state of mind is your worst enemy. Rely on your friends and support network to get you through… Change is around the corner!
February: Knight of Pentacles
Knights herald change, so the Knight of Pentacles reveals yet another change in financial status—once again, for the better. (Ah, the life of a freelancer.) Serenity’s health issues pass without serious incident, placing her in a position to face whatever the Universe will throw at her next. Perseverance and hard work prevail.
March: Page of Cups
The Page of Cups in March 2010 marks a birth… a literal (albeit slightly premature?) birth of a child, or birth of yet another business? The emphasis is on creative energy and growth—and exactly what Serenity needs at this point in her life.
Serenity, Miss Michele has tossed a lot at you in this spread. Please follow-up and let me know if you’d like clarification on any points.

April Recap:
To be honest April was mostly uneventful. But I did take on The World. Miss Michele hinted at possible video game connections and in April, while I let the real world turn, I worked my way through a detail rich world of virtual reality and conquered the bad guys to win the greatest prize to all gamers, closing credits. *chuckles*
May Recap:
May was a busy month that was as fun as it was challenging. I had a new gig that forced me to push the boundaries of what I already knew.I learned new ways to work with information and with people. Instead of being a single cog in a working mechanism I was the mechanic, in charge of keeping all the cogs turning. I loved the challenge and came away from the job with new skills, interests, and friends.
June Recap:
We are 1/3rd of the way through June and Miss Michele’s interpretation of the Seven of Pentacles is right on the money. I had never even considered this new direction in April so I wondered with a mixture of curiosity and “yeah… right… we’ll see…” skeptism what June could possible be all about. Now I KNOW!
With the fantastic turn of the months so far I’m definitely looking forward to watching the rest of this reading unfold. I’ll keep you posted with recaps as the year progresses.

Want to know how the rest of my year related to the 12-Months Miss Michelle drew for me? Here it is!
July: [King of Pentacles / Three of Swords]
I ended a warm and giving relationship through personal choices about what I wanted for my future.
August: [The Star]
I felt a little regret about the choices I’d made in July with regard to my relationship but decided I’d made the right move and would move forward with a sense of hope for the future.
September: [Six of Cups]
My business (a true passion) was flourishing in September with several new lucrative projects coming in and a sense of rightness about the direction my life was taking.
October: [Eight of Pentacles]
The commissions I landed in September were going strong and starting to pay off with an influx of income. I started to turn away more work with a need to slow down to avoid being overwhelmed.
November: [Judgement]
In November, my ex-husband and I settled on a Child Support Payment issue with Australia’s CSA taking charge of future payments and agreeing on the balance owed, future expectations, and the 2009/2010 Child Support Agreement.
December: [Page of Swords]
Despite trying to cut back on the load of work I was feeling very pushed to the limit in December and the stress of that on top of family obligations around the holidays was very high pressure.
January: [Ten of Swords]
I literally slammed on the breaks in January and decided to refuse all work and to wrap up any lingering projects so that I could stop feeling chained to those unfinished jobs. It was a month of clearing my plate to make time for the things I truly love.
February: [Knight of Pentacles]
I started picking up new work again in February and focused a great deal on growing my personal projects. With greater personal focus and commitment my priority one project saw fantastic returns. Personal and financial investment helped create a positive flow of energy that showed in growing success.
March: [Page of Cups]
) but the birth of a new “Super Secret Project” that I hope to launch before the end of April. There is definite excitement and creative energy around this new project and it is “my baby” in a professional sense.
At the end of March there was a birth. Not a literal baby (although maybe next year
Now of course, I wonder what the rest of this year has in store.
Time for another 12-Month Tarot Spread.
