Astrological Wheel: 12 Cards For The 12 Months Ahead

The astrological wheel: one Tarot of Marseille card per astrological house, and your year read domain by domain.

Last updated by Ava Of Light

Astrological Wheel: 12 Cards For The 12 Months Ahead

The astrological wheel was born from two practices meeting: each major arcanum of the Tarot of Marseille corresponds to a planet, and each astrological house to an area of life. Laying one card on each of the twelve houses means reading the programme of the twelve months ahead.

In short

12 cards, one per astrological house.

Advanced level — you need to know the houses as well as the arcana.

The major arcana of the Tarot of Marseille only.

Horizon: about a year.

What the astrological wheel shows

This spread does not answer a question: it draws a panorama. It shows which areas the year will favour and which will take work — it is the only one of the ten spreads that covers a whole life at once.

✅ The right use

  • A yearly stocktake, on your birthday or on 1 January
  • A major change about to touch several areas at once
  • Wanting to know where to put your effort in the coming months

❌ What not to expect from it

  • An answer to a precise question — use the cross instead
  • A quick read: twelve cards take time
  • Repeating it often: allow several months between two readings for the same person

The 12 houses and what they announce

The principle is simple: you lay one major arcanum on each house. How the cards fall tells you where the great energies are directed — where does the Chariot's drive land, the Sun's success, the Wheel of Fortune's luck, or the Hanged Man's blockages?

House I

Your frame of mind and preoccupations

A worked reading

A card is never read alone: meaning comes from crossing it with the domain of its house.

The Sun in House I

  • House I speaks of your frame of mind and your preoccupations.
  • The Sun brings luck, happiness and self-confidence.
  • Together: a year in which you will feel in the right place, carried by an assurance you may have been missing.

→ Do the same exercise with the other eleven houses: the same card says something entirely different in House V, where it would speak of love, or in House XII, where it would light up a trial.

How to read it without drowning

Start with the dominants. Before going into detail, look at where the strongest cards fell: they point to the areas that will carry the year.

Look at the quiet houses too. A neutral card on a house does not mean nothing will happen there: it says that area will not be the year's main stage.

Do not redo the spread for several months for the same person: it covers twelve months, and relaunching it early only adds noise.

This spread is extremely revealing, but it is used with a certain distance: it draws trends across areas, not dated events.

And as always, a year turns on your decisions as much as on the cards.

Start with a shorter spread

Twelve cards across twelve areas takes practice. Three cards are enough to get your hand in on a single question.

Let your thoughts settle for a moment. Then turn the cards to discover what they have to reveal.

Your questions about the astrological wheel

Do I need to know astrology to lay it?

You need to know the twelve houses and the area of life each covers — that is all. There is no birth chart to calculate: here the houses serve as a reading grid, not as a map of the sky.

The list above is enough to get started.

Why only the major arcana?

Because they are the ones carrying planetary correspondences, and therefore the ones that speak to the houses. That correspondence is what the whole spread rests on.

The 56 minor arcana would add detail where you are looking for broad direction.

When in the year should I lay it?

Whenever you like: the wheel covers the twelve months following the reading, not the calendar year. Many lay it on their birthday, which lines it up with their solar return.

What matters is letting several months pass before doing it again.
