Wheel of Fortune Year (It's All Good!)

Your Hermit Year was likely a very solitary time, and possibly lonely. Your social life shrunk. Your spiritual life likely underwent a revolution, if even a small one, as you explored avenues you previously ignored or avoided. You learned about yourself and about the world. Now it is time for you to put that knowledge to use and re-enter the world. If you are not jumping cycle, you are moving onto the Wheel of Fortune Year, represented by the number 10.

Our years are represented by Tarot archetypes. You calculate your year by adding your month of birth+day of birth+the current year. For example, a person born March 15 would calculate this year to be a 9 year. (3+15=18, 18+2008=2026, 2+0+2+6=10).

In the year that comes down to 10, you have reached your Wheel of Fortune year – and a fortunate year it is, if you are ready for roll with the changes.

Remember the Chariot Year with the Wheel? This is somewhat similar - changes in residence, job, and relationship can take place. The difference is that whereas in the Chariot Year it was likely very painful and traumatic, as well as shocking and without any time to adjust (you got that a year later), this time it is likely to be pleasurable, rewarding and welcome.

This is because the Wheel of Fortune year is the year when prosperity, luck, abundance and expansion are your key words. The Roman Goddess Fortuna is associated with this archetype, as is also the planet Jupiter. Big fat jolly Jupiter!

This is the year when if you are open to creating opportunities, taking risks and being flexible, you will reap a great harvest. Did you do some studying on a topic or two in your Hermit year that now enables you to make money in a new way or to understand something that is of value to someone else? This is the year you will be able to reap the benefits of that study.

There are a few warnings here – do not be inflexible and critical. Do not be opinionated and fixed upon doing things only the way you have always done them or “the way it should be”. Do not return to old patterns. On the other hand, do not take foolhardy risks and go overboard - as Jupiter can lead us to bloat, be gluttonous and epand until we implode or explode. It is a time to take risks and expand, but also to plan for the future.

For quite a few this is a time when a wonderful life partner or marriage partner appears on the scene and marriage proposals are not uncommon. Go ahead – get married!! There are quite a few wedding in people’s Wheel of Fortune years.

Last but not least – money. Yes, this is the year when you can see an expansion – no an explosion – in your finances as it appears that money is raining from the sky. You could go from making $20K to making $75 K in one year. Save the money, invest the money and find ways to continue the flow. This year will bring more abundance than in previous years and if you plan well it can be more than a one-time 12-month coincidence – it can be the foundation for future prosperity.

You can take advantage of this Wheel of Fortune year by getting together with a coach who can guide you in dealing with prosperity and abundance – i.e. Law of Attraction and success coaching. This abundance covers not only money, but relationships, career, family and spirituality.

The Hermit Year (Leadership & Learning)

You calculate your year by adding your month of birth+day of birth+the current year. For example, a person born March 14 would calculate this year to be an 9 year. (3+14=17, 17+2008=2025, 2+0+2+4=9).

The 9 year is the Hermit Year. The Hermit Year is symbolized by Virgo and is a time when Virgo people (born August 23-September 23) will become important to you. This can be a partner/mate, business associate, relative, friend or teacher. You will want to bring things into full bloom with Virgo people in your life so you can both reap the harvest of your relationship. New opportunities from older people in your life and/or Virgo people will present themselves in some form.

In the Hermit Year, you will feel an urge to bring resolution and complete unresolved situations from the past. This may be done through Virgoans methods such as meditation, prayer, retreats, and quiet contemplations. You will sort in your mind how to organize things and arrange the little details.

This is the year when you will find yourself called to mature leadership -- particularly in the form of teaching or making presentations. It may be quiet and subtle, but it will be there. You will be asked to inspire and motivate people. Have you wanted to be a teacher? Now you will likely find the opportunities to fulfill that dream!

Be aware that you may also find that if you are a naturally extroverted person who thrives from being with friends and being very sociable, this may be a frustrating year: it commonly happens that in this year people find that no matter how hard they try, they cannot get their social life going full steam. People break dates more than usual and/or are too busy with their own lives to get together with you. This results in you finding yourself "forced" to spend time alone, thinking and focusing on your home, your partner, your mental development, and in particular, your spiritual life.

The Adjustment/Justice Year (Balance is Power)

After the tumultuous rollercoaster ride you experience during the Chariot Year, most people are quite glad for what follows; that is, the Adjustment/Justice Year. This is an 8 year, when your month and day of birth, added to the year, equal 8. This is a year of balance and power where your life can stabilize.

You calculate your year by adding your month of birth+day of birth+the current year. For example, February 14, 1981 would calculate this year to be an 8 year. (2+14=16, 16+2008=2024, 2+0+2+4=8. The 8 year is the Adjustment/Justice Year.

The Adjustment/Justice Year is symbolized by Libra and is a time when Libran people (born September 24-October 24) will become significant to your world. This can be a partner/mate, business associate, relative, friend or teacher.

It is a time of bringing balance back into your life -- particularly in financial, legal, health and relationship matters.

This will involve simplifying your life and throwing away what is no longer necessary and what is unused.

Truth, honesty and clarity become important in your relationships -- but you will not even be able to tolerate deceptions and delusions in yourself because you will learn how such things cause long-term problems in your life. One lie spawns another and another etc. One deceptive act backfires and causes more problems than ever imagined.

Spending time in nature becomes especially satisfying in this year. You will likely want to get out there to the vacation cabin in the woods and spend more than two weeks!

This is a year of learning to communicate directly and taking swift action; of making and keeping commitments, of being truthful with others and in difficult situations, and of using prudence and wisdom.

You will likely find yourself called to make a relationship commitment and follow through on it; it will require you to connect honestly to another human being and to journey interdependently together as individuals. It is a step forward to maturity.

Not telling the truth in this year could envelop you in a bad position within rocky situations involving ethics and/or the law! Do not put yourself in that position -- tell the truth from the start. Why should someone need to confront you about a lack of telling the truth? Confront yourself first! You may even find that lying and hiding will cause health problems for you -- notice that rash, or how you cannot stop picking at your face or arm until you bleed? Notice that nervous eye tic or that shaking? Heh heh.

You or someone around you could also simply have a health issue that will need to get taken care of in this year to bring your life back into balance.

When you bring your life into balance, you gain power! You can do so much more when yo are living in truth and simplicity. You have few, if any, obstacles preventing you from achieving your goals. If you find you are not able to achieve your goals, examine where you are in terms of

1. truth and honesty,
2. commitment to a relationship,
3. simplicity,
4. finances,
5. and balance in general.

If you are lacking - now you know where to make changes and get on track. Get your balance, gain your power!

The Chariot Year (A Tough Act to Follow)

When we reach the year that adds up to 7, we have reached our Chariot Year. This is a challenging and fast-paced time when life will have so many changes it may be hard to keep up!

You calculate your year by adding your month of birth+day of birth+the current year. For example, February 14, 1981 would caculate this year to be an 8 year. (2+14=16, 16+2008=2024, 2+0+2+4=8. The 8 year is the Adjustment/Justice Year.

In the Chariot year you are asked to integrate reflection and action. Think about the changes you need to make and then make them. This is not a year where you will be able to sit on your butt hoping things will pass by or waiting for things to pass by. You will not be able to passively resist and ignore the Universe's call for change. You will often find yourself propelled out of your seat - or your job, relationship or home.

The changes are typically ones where you must change jobs or professions, move to another location or deal with the breakup of a relationship.

The harder and longer you hold on, the more painful the experience will be and the more you will lose. You must ask yourself -- "Is what I am trying to hold onto worth what I am losing?".

Holding on in your heart or mind to a relationship that the other person does not want only causes loss of peace within you and can have material costs as well when you think about all that you spend money on out of pain, resentment, anger and attempts to take revenge. It costs less money, time and pain to walk away and prepare for your next relationship.

The job you are fired from or are facing lay-off from -- this is now your opportunity to move into something better!

Use the Chariot Year to make changes. Roll with it and don't complain about what you must release. The more willingly you go with the changes, the sooner you will see the positive outcome.

The Chariot Year is also the year when you could find yourself doing more travel than usual, which is temporary relocation; conversely you may stay in the same place all year and then in the last month of that year decide to buy a new home and move.

From the outside, you and/or your life may appear very unstable to people.

This is also the year that Cancerian people (born between June 21-July 22) will be important to your life. This could be a teacher, friend, partner/mate, business associate or relative).
