An astrology wheel is the name given to a special spread made up of 12 arcana.
\nLet’s start on the right foot: I use the word “arcanum” as the equivalent of a “card”.<\/p>\n
The more cards a spread has, the harder it can be to understand. This type of spread is therefore better suited to people who have a good command of their esoteric deck. A beginner will inevitably find it harder to interpret.<\/p>\n
The wheel gets its name from the position of the cards, which form… a wheel… As simple as that. The image of the wheel rightly conveys the idea of cycles, of stages, the image of the Wheel of Fortune (the tarot card, mind you, not the TV game show).<\/p>\n
So the astrology wheel is a spread of 12 arcana. So far, so good. Now let’s make things more complicated. Each card sits in a specific “house”. Yes, I told you things would get complicated! The “house”, if you like, corresponds to an area of life.<\/p>\n
That’s not all. Let’s complicate things one last time, and then we’re almost done!<\/p>\n
As in any other spread, the cards “talk” to each other. They don’t just drop by because they saw the light on. They are to be interpreted according to their position, according to their buddy. In short, it’s a story being told to us. To understand it, you have to grasp the whole surrounding context. Still with me?<\/p>\n
In short, it’s as if there were 6 pairs of cards, since 6 x 2 = 12. The pairs complement each other because they face each other. So card 1 pairs with card 7, 2 with 8, 3 with 9, 4 with 10, 5 with 11, and 6 with 12. And why, you ask? It’s simple: the first row of cards (so from 1 to 6) covers the whole first half of the year. As for the second row, it covers the whole second half. Got it?<\/p>\n
So remember that each card represents a theme, but also a half of the year… A card therefore has two readings. Examples: card 1 represents your state of mind in the first half of the year. But it should also be interpreted as representing what will happen in the first half in your house of married life. Another example: I draw the Accident card (38) in house 11, which represents my plans. I will interpret the Accident in connection with house 11 for the first half of my year, but also as answering what will happen in the second half for my love life. Don’t forget that each card represents a theme, but also a half of the year.<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve explained how this astrology wheel works, you get the idea. So how do you do this type of spread? How long does it take to interpret an astrology wheel?<\/p>\n
Perform your own little ritual to set the moment of the reading: for example, you can put on some soft background music, light a little incense, turn off the TV and the phones, wait until the children are asleep, or simply until you feel ready, in a calm moment. You need to be receptive to what is about to unfold before your eyes.<\/p>\n
When you feel ready, pick up your pile of cards. Shuffle them calmly while keeping your clear, precise question in mind: “What will happen for Francis, born April 12, 1984, in the year 2019?” I promise you I don’t know any Francis, it’s just the first name that came to mind. Then, when you feel ready again (as you can see, it’s all about feeling), cut the deck in two. This is called the cut. It already gives a sort of general trend for the year. Then put the pile of cards back together. Next, draw 12 cards face down. Don’t overthink it, go with it naturally. Lay out your cards in the shape of the astrology wheel. Then turn the cards over one by one. That’s where the interpretation begins.<\/p>\n
First of all, you can soak in the colors. A color scheme often emerges: red for passion and violence, green for peace, yellow for drive, blue for coldness… Let your sensations flow freely.<\/p>\n
This is how the interpretation of the houses begins, with the card of the “pair” resonating with each one, as we saw above.<\/p>\n
Of course, the more of a novice you are, the longer the interpretation takes… The more opaque the divination deck is to you, the more complicated the interpretation will be. So this spread is better suited to people who have already acquired some basics.<\/p>\n
Personally, I would tend to advise you to use the deck you have the most “feeling” with, the one that speaks to you instinctively. From experience, and looking back, I have noticed that predictions made with the Oracle G\u00e9 come true faster than with other decks. Why? I don’t know.<\/p>\n
In short, you can think of the astrology wheel as a completely personalized yearly horoscope.<\/p>\n
If you want to put together an astrology wheel for a loved one or a client, and you type fast, allow at least 2 to 3 hours of work. First, you need to immerse yourself in the spread of the 12 cards, to sense and feel the colors and the vibrations, and let your impressions guide you in the interpretation. Only then can the card-by-card interpretation take place. It’s painstaking work, but very rewarding. Personally, I use my Belline Oracle<\/a> for astrology wheels. First, because it’s a deck that has always spoken to me, a deck I have a certain “affection” for, and one that immediately gives me a sort of general trend. But you can use any oracle cards<\/a>. The Oracle de la Triade<\/a> is also very expressive and shows the major trends very well.<\/p>\n I’m giving you the tools to help you master this type of spread, which is fairly complex to read and inevitably takes practice. It’s then up to you to make this tool your own and adapt it to you, to your personality, to your perspective.<\/p>\n I’m handing you a pen. Everyone will use it as they see fit: some will use it with their left hand, others with their right. There are then 1,001 ways to write. There isn’t just one truth. Everyone holds their pen the way they want. It’s the same with a spread.<\/p>\n Here is the interpretation of an astrology wheel I did for a client. It can give you an idea of what an astrology wheel can contain.<\/p>\n First half:<\/strong> your morale will be heavy and at times a burden. You will sometimes feel you’re making efforts for nothing. It will be frustrating and sometimes even baffling. It’s simply not the right time. You’ll have to grin and bear it and hope the rain stops falling. Sometimes you have to accept tearing down in order to build better, more solidly. Don’t try to skip steps. If it doesn’t work, don’t force fate. Take another path. Keep going. The most important thing is to keep moving forward. First half:<\/strong> now is not the time to invest. On the contrary, money is tight. You will probably need to ask for a loan or spread out your expenses carefully enough to avoid going into the red. Avoid all unnecessary spending so you can handle the unexpected. Now is not the time for expansion, but for very strict management of your finances. You may need to take some steps to try, as best you can, to “refill the coffers” if you find the situation too delicate. First half:<\/strong> the least we can say is that the first half is going to be buzzing… You’ll need to stock up on energy, because you won’t get a minute’s rest. There are contacts to make, steps to take, efforts to put in. Do what is needed in the first half so that the harvest is worthwhile. There are opportunities to seize, so keep your eyes wide open in the hope that the situation turns out favorable in more ways than one. First half:<\/strong> tensions may arise and you may find yourself “refereeing” heated discussions. Yet sometimes it’s necessary to get things off your chest in order to start again on a sounder footing. For this discussion to happen, both parties have to agree on the principle, and everyone has to be able to communicate. There will probably be things that are hard to hear or even to say, but otherwise, you’ll always have something weighing on your heart and you won’t be able to move forward. Say everything that’s on your heart: it will do you good, and it will do your relationship good too. First half:<\/strong> it seems you’re grappling with something stronger than you, something massive that forces you to keep your nose to the grindstone. Even so, that isn’t a good way to operate. You shouldn’t stay in a situation like this, where conflict is present. A third party may be stirring up trouble. You’ll need to think about how to end the power struggles as soon as possible, and perhaps do some soul-searching yourself too. Either way, you risk losing a part of yourself in this story. If you feel you’re about to explode, leave the room so you don’t say things you might regret later. First half:<\/strong> you can be glad to be able to work in good conditions. It’s a harmonious setting, with satisfactions on the way. It’s a good omen. Make the most of this first half to get done everything that was on hold. First half:<\/strong> your energies are rather good. There is good harmony between your different bodies (physical, mental, emotional), and everything naturally falls into place. This too is a good omen. This area of your life looks calm. First half:<\/strong> you may be disappointed by a certain person. This social relationship is coming apart. Wanting the relationship to continue is one thing, but both parties have to want it. Sometimes you have to accept that some people leave us. Maybe they’ll come back to you, someday or never. But you can’t try to keep a relationship going if the other party does nothing to make it last. Otherwise, you’ll need to talk clearly about your unease. Sometimes, over time, people change and evolve, you included. First half:<\/strong> you may feel like you’re spinning your wheels. Don’t try to rush things or people. You need to take stock within yourself to better define what you want in the short term. Try to live this “pause” in the most “meditative” way possible, so as to suffer as little as possible. First half:<\/strong> as a rule, you are in control of your energies. If you wish, you can also turn to practices such as energy work, yoga… You could get surprising results. The door is open for you to develop your spiritual life. First half:<\/strong> you can breathe easier about a situation that was bothering you. A frank discussion will let you clear up the misunderstandings and mix-ups that may have clouded this relationship. Saving this stormy situation, where misunderstandings could tarnish your relationship, will be a real success. Watch out for someone who may try to sow doubt in you. You need to learn to protect yourself better and to trust yourself more. First half:<\/strong> the situation is complicated and keeps you from seeing clearly. Be careful, because someone may stir up trouble and cause arguments. Don’t dig your heels in. Don’t say things you might regret later. Keep the right distance, and avoid at all costs being influenced in any way whatsoever. You are a grown-up who is capable of making decisions on your own. Then you’ll need to do what’s necessary to explain your choices. Even if they aren’t unanimous, never mind, because it’s your life we’re talking about. You steer your life as you see fit. First half:<\/strong> you may feel the need to do yourself some good. If so, there may be spending to pamper yourself: the beautician, the hairdresser, clothes… You’ll probably want to feel more in tune with yourself. The watchword will be “pleasure”. There will be a kind of desire to live in the present, not to plan ahead, simply to be there, in the moment. Of course, you’ll also find a part of your own personality in the words you use. We can speak from our own experience and pass it on to others according to what we have lived. So an astrology wheel done by any medium or psychic may take a different form of expression, but the “backbone” is exactly the same.<\/p>\nMaking the astrology wheel spread your own<\/h2>\n
How do you interpret the astrology wheel spread?<\/h2>\n
1. State of mind<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> after a difficult first half, the heavens will finally put an end to all these torments. There will be lovely surprises. In the end, it’s as if you went from one extreme to the other. Enjoy this lovely, prosperous period, favorable to every hope. There’s generosity in the air, gifts to give or to receive. The time is right. Your spirits will be high. In short, savor this second half, which suggests that plenty of promises will be on the agenda…<\/p>\n2. Finances<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> the situation will be the same as for your “state of mind”. After a difficult first half, everything gets unblocked “miraculously” in the second half. Your money management is much tighter and more focused, the foundations are much more solid, and you can get a better overall view of the short and medium term. You can afford a few little extras that weren’t possible in the first half. You’ll be able to breathe a little, which will be more than welcome.<\/p>\n3. Travel<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> the situation reverses. The many trips of the first half will make you see life differently. You will have felt you had to prove your attachment, probably to someone, and in the end, in the second half, you may be disappointed or at least left not understanding. Head down, you’ll feel you have no control over the situation. On the contrary, you need to try to see the situation from another angle. Don’t believe you can’t act. Quite the opposite. You have your say too. But for now, you can’t understand everything at stake. So give yourself time and grant yourself and others the right to forgiveness. Nobody is perfect. There may also be a kind of fear of attachment which, pushed to its extreme, ends up making you unhappy. You can’t ask the other person to adjust to your needs or to understand them as if by “magic”. For your needs to be met, you first need to talk things over with the person in front of you. Otherwise, how can you make yourself understood?<\/p>\n4. Home and family<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> after a first half where you put everything on the table, you’ll be able to wipe the slate clean and move on for good. To do this, you will probably need to stay home, to cut yourself off a little from the outside world, to take time for yourself, to recharge, and simply to enjoy some time to reconnect with yourself. It will probably be a kind of need to protect yourself. Listen to yourself: it matters.<\/p>\n5. Love life<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> enough is enough. You’ll either have to bear the wrath of fate or “explode” in mid-flight. Either way, something that hasn’t been said or clearly expressed may blow up in your face. It was bound to explode sooner or later. Only, harsh things may be said. You’ll then have to decide whether to pick up the pieces by talking openly about what’s wrong, or on the contrary to leave the situation as it is without changing anything. Either way, communication is needed to resolve this problem. A person never explodes by chance. A solution must be found that can satisfy all parties.<\/p>\n6. Work<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> changes are in the air… You will necessarily have to adapt. There are trips to make, but they’ll stay close to home. It’s an inevitable change that is about to get under way. Don’t try to fight it, since this change has to happen anyway. If you fight it, you’ll waste energy. So just try to ride the wave and live this upcoming change as well as possible.<\/p>\n6b. Vitality<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> if you’re hoping to have a baby, the second half may well bring a positive answer… The cards indeed point to a “rounded” change ahead for your body. Your body “rounds out”, suggesting that a pregnancy could be on the way. A new cycle is beginning, making way for renewal. This too is a very good omen.<\/p>\n7. Others and new encounters<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> it’s as if a “gift fell from the sky” out of the blue. Something surprising and unsettling should come into your life. You will be surprised and perhaps even shaken up. Either way, it’s a happy omen that once again supports the idea of a pregnancy in the second half.<\/p>\n8. Changes ahead<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> everything is coming together. The changes about to take place will, this time, let you plan for the long term. Your vision will be clearer and more constructive. You will need stable ground, to build on something concrete. Even so, be careful, because you may tend to want to control things. Let things happen and accept letting go, surrendering. It will be a difficult exercise, but a necessary one for your own growth.<\/p>\n9. Spirituality<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> you may be “chained” to a situation or a person. Not finding a solution, you risk overthinking and so “knotting up your energies”, when the situation could be resolved another way. Sometimes, letting go is necessary to regain a certain kind of freedom. It all depends on you and on how you see things. Keep hope. If you tend to think negatively, you’ll attract negative energies. So fight it and make sure you leave more room for the positive.<\/p>\n10. Achievements<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> you may need to retreat at home to take time for yourself. Sometimes it’s essential to think of yourself, of what does you good. To live happily, live hidden. This proverb will guide you throughout the second half. You can make the most of this little moment to do yourself some good.<\/p>\n11. Plans<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> sometimes your plans aren’t put together well enough and “fall flat”. Don’t see it as a failure. It’s simply “fate” making you understand that you were on the wrong track. You then need to tear down in order to rebuild better, but you have to accept being patient and taking it step by step. All in good time. You’ll revise your plans and be able to try a second time. Take care to analyze the reasons for this necessary teardown so you can learn from your mistakes. The outcome can be positive if you choose to see the positive in this teardown.<\/p>\n12. Notes<\/h3>\n
\nSecond half:<\/strong> something may unsettle you through an inevitable change. It will be a significant change for you, with an impact on your life beyond the second half. Either way, you will adapt and make sure you go through this change in your life cycle as calmly as possible. A new beginning is on the way.<\/p>\nGet your own astrology wheel reading<\/h2>\n
