Figuring out the Tarot card of the year is relatively easy. Simply add up the digits of the year, and note the corresponding major arcana tarot card. If the digits are more than 22 (22 = Fool, as the Fool is number 0 in most decks), then add up the digits again to get your answer. This year 2022 is relatively easy (2+0+2+2 = 6). As number 6 in the Major arcana is the Lovers, that makes it the tarot card for this year.
So what does that mean for us collectively? Please note that we each individually have our own tarot card for the year which you can learn how to calculate here . However the Lovers will be the energy ruling the wider collective and affecting all of us on some level.
An Emphasis on Relationships
While the Lovers naturally brings romance to mind, this card brings all relationships to the forefront this year. We are being challenged to examine the quality of our relationships with others and examine which are on firm footing and which might need more work, or where you need to let go and move on.
Leading With the Heart
While some cards in the tarot, like Justice, ask us to listen to logic and reason, the Lovers asks us to listen to our heart. It doesn’t mean you cast reason aside, but it does mean that your heart is what will lead you through this season of uncertainty. Remember the heart knows what it wants, and the mind is it’s servant, rather than it’s master. It’s a good year to find quiet time to contemplate, so you can get in touch with your deepest feelings and listen to the messages of where your heart is leading you.
Facing Tough Choices
The Lovers is a card of choice, often between two or more things that look equally good. That’s why it’s so important to listen to your heart, because logic can talk us into either choice when they both look so tempting. It’s also important to remember the other people involved that may be affected by our decisions. This year it’s important to keep in mind that we are part of a greater whole, and we are not each isolated islands. The choices you make do have an effect on those around you.
Harmony and Beauty
This year is numerologically a 6 year, an number that seeks harmony and beauty. Expect to see a lot of exciting new film, television, music and art that inspires and uplifts. Fashion and decor may become more joyful and colourful this year as people seek to make themselves and the world around them more beautiful.
Romance
Of course we can’t talk about the Lovers without talking about romance. This is a subject that will be on a lot of people’s minds this year. Wether it’s seeking out that new special someone, bringing more romance into existing relationships, getting married, or ditching a toxic partnership, romance is top of mind for many of us. Expect also to see more romantic themes reflected in art and culture this year.
