Yearly lessons
The way to calculate the year's lessons is simple and done by your birthday numbers, such as day, month, and year (actual year). Lessons of the year follow us through life, and we can create a map to see and learn from what is essential for each year. They tend to karma with them; it’s like what you do each year will reflect on the next time you’re in that same number.
A lesson of the year can give a clue to what that particular year means to you. Maybe the last time you had that lesson, you did not avoid the influence, and you will not notice anything of it this time or just a little bit to strengthen your new pattern. The lessons usually come in nine years’ periods, and if you calculate them from 0 years to about 85 years of age, you can recognize a pattern, which lesson is the most frequently that is your biggest lesson. When you have calculated the numbers, and got your lesson for the actual year, place that card in front of you, study it and think about what it will teach you for the coming year, also look to what it symbolizes to you. Write it down and use it as guidance over the year, and then you can concisely work with that aspect over the year.
Here's the way to calculate your lesson.
If I want to know my lesson for the year 1992 and I'm born on the 19th of December, then I will write it this way:
19
12
+1992
2023 = 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7
Then I know that the number 7, the card “The Chariot,” is my lesson, and I can study what it means to me. A lesson shows on the energy that controls the year, you calculate this by numerology, and then you can look at each year from your birth and ahead to see what you need most to learn. The lesson that frequently comes back is the most important, and if you start to look at the years that this lesson has activated, you can see a pattern and learn even more in the future.
You can now read my interpretation of every card lesson and its unique influence. The lesson doesn’t control your life but is a key to the influences at each year.
1-11
1
A year when you’re more oriented to new areas than usual, a lot of things happen and will start to act in your life, mostly by yourself. A lot of ideas and thoughts that you, most of the time, will realize. It will be a good year with many opportunities and the possibility to take a more in-depth look at your ambitions.
2
A year when you are striving for balance, to see the wholeness and get clear of what your self-wish to live in a community with people who believe in the same wholeness as you. You can contact many women this year; their energy will make you draw them to you through active feminine energy. You would like to be in this community, and it will mostly be a fun experience to get the right supplement through knowledge and maybe a workshop. It is a year that will allow you to find your inner balance.
3
A year that will make you get more involved with other people, you want to do so much, and it's easy for you to take responsibility, maybe even more than you are supposed to do! It’s so easy for you to get involved in most everything, so try to back off! This year you have the opportunity to create many things that will be a part of your life for many years to come and to be fulfilled. It is a year that will teach you to take a more in-depth look at your role in responsibility, and first of all, take responsibility for yourself.
4
A year with severity and responsibility. This year you can be driven but calm; you look for stillness, make plans, and think before acting. You will be alert to new things and to make your planes come thru this year. It is a year first of all, with responsibility for you and others that may need support. This year will make you look deeper into your way of living and plan activities.
5
A year when you will seek more education than before, and it hasn’t had to be through a school, but it’s possible that you even look for that, you will seek a complement to the knowledge that you already have. Many new events and insights will get your thoughts to act, and you will look to find a more wholeness. It is a year that will help you open your eyes to how you live your life.
6
It is a year that can be a mess when it comes to relationships, and it’s not only about a partner that you probably love one moment for in the next, almost hate. You can become in conflict with your liberation and even more with all the persons, you meet in different relationships. You can tear up all memories from childhood and with your folks, siblings, and old childhood friends to clean out old behaviors that are barriers to your development. Maybe you end a lot of relationships this year, but you will also get more new relationships in your life since you are looking for new meetings and new areas. It is also a year that can develop physic abilities within you more than before. This year will teach you to love yourself for the one you are from deep inside.
7
A year of emancipation, this year, you can do a lot of things that will be unexpected for your environment; just out of the blue, you will do something that can be a childhood dream or something that you have a longing to do or be.

You go your way, put all your energy into the things you believe in, and succeed most of the time. This year will teach you to believe in yourself.
8
A year of stubbornness, own will, and inner strength. How faithfully are you to your ideas and impulsive acts? Do you believe in yourself? This year you have to use your trust in yourself and most of all, your self-confidence. You have to believe in what you’re doing and all your actions, no matter what others may think or say. Often the people around you recognize the change and leave you alone, but you can feel a little bit lonely from time to time, and it’s not strange considering that others can be afraid when they see that you’re so sure about yourself.
9
A year when you should tell the people around you that you’re probably not as social as they may expect. You feel a need to be left alone, think and wonder, read, and create within yourself. It is a year that you can read more than you usually do and question a lot over life’s mystery, and you read from novels to in-depth philosophical books that will take up most of your time. It is a year when you don’t take time for companionship but more for inner development. You seek answers to all your questions about life. It is a good year to start to meditate or develop internal growth, and this year will help you find inner peace.
10
It is the year with no responsibility at all! There is a go-with-the-flow in almost everything you do. This year will have the opposite of companionship to last year, a lot of people will enter your life, this year you’re outgoing and social, maybe a little too much, and perhaps you don’t always feel the connection you deep inside would like to experience. Maybe this is a year with many meetings and talks over a cup of coffee or tea. You start to make significant progress a year like this, it’s like starting over again, and maybe you will move or take another more significant step that will give you more opportunities. This year will teach you to enjoy life in its wholeness.
11
It is a year of balance; you will make decisions from your earlier experience. Your companionship will be more aware than just a social moment. You have the experience of loneliness to a lot of over-socialization with new contacts. Now you can select what you want in your life. You enjoy your time, feel secure, and got a lot of things going. And you dare to make more significant decisions, to choose right and look at what you want. It is a year that will teach you to find a balance between yourself and your relations.
