Happy 2023!

Happy calendar New Year!

Did you know that using numerology and tarot we can get a feeling for what the collective experience for the year may be? To do so we add each of the numbers of the year together: 2+0+2+3 = 7 and then look at the major arcana card number 7 which is the Chariot.

We're moving from 2022 which had the Lovers as card of the year (2+0+2+2=6). The vibes for the year were about assessing of and the realignment of our values. There were also a lot of opportunities for seeing ourselves mirrored in others.

Now it's time to transition to the Chariot year. It's time to take those values and what we learned from assessing and from witnessing our mirrored selves, and take action on what we learned. Things may have felt a bit slow in 2022, now we have the opportunity to move things along at a quicker pace in the coming year. We also will have more opportunities to feel like we can control our narrative and direction in life.
