When to use this spread

One card for each month of the year, with a central card for the year's theme or lesson. Useful for a birthday, new year, or the start of a new cycle.

Why this spread

A whole year in one view, with a card at the centre that holds it together. 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 centre card is what turns twelve cards into a story.

The positions and what each one means

  • Months 1–12
    One card for each month, in chronological order

  • Central card
    The theme or lesson that accompanies the year as a whole

What sets it apart

The same idea as the Six-Month Reading, doubled in range and held together by a central summary card.

It can also be read as twelve cards without a center. Visually, it is one of the clearest large spreads to display.

Example questions
