New Year's Resolution Spread

In my book on Tarot spreads, Tarot: Get the Whole Story, one of the spreads I introduced is one I call New Year’s Resolution Spread.  (By the way, in that chapter I did a reading with that spread for Don Juan.)

The first card in that spread can be interpreted either as “What New Year’s resolution might you make?” (if you need a suggestion) or “What do you need to know about your New Year’s resolution?” (if you already have one in mind.)  The spread has several other positions (I’ll leave it to you to get the book to see the whole spread), but an important one that you might want to think about is this: “What obstacles may block you from keeping your resolution?”

You can do a simple reading with those two cards, or you can use the full spread for a more detailed reading.

By the way, what about that reading for Don Juan?

The first card, the suggestion for a resolution, was the King of Cups, which I saw as a representation of reaching a significant level of emotional maturity.  So my suggestion was that he make a resolution to find a mature and stable romantic relationship.

The card in the position for “obstacles” was the reversed Two of Cups, which indicated his resistance to making a loving commitment to another person and a propensity for having illicit love affairs instead.  Of course, that would sabotage any truly meaningful relationships.
