When to use this spread
One card for each month of the coming year, in chronological order. Useful for a birthday, new year, or the start of a new cycle.
Why this spread
A whole year in one view. The wheel suits moments of transition, a new year, a birthday, a fresh start, when you want to see not only what each month brings but the theme that connects them. The interpretation reads the year quarter by quarter, which is what turns twelve cards into one story.
What sets it apart
The same idea as the Six-Month Reading, doubled in range: twelve months in one sequence.
Dealt as twelve cards without a central card; the year's theme emerges from the interpretation itself.
