Summary:
In the center: my year card.
No reversals observed.

My take on the yearly spread. After laying the cards, I could not decide if I should translate them month-to-month or I should observe the entire spread holistically, treating it as one large image/theme for the year. When I am recovered from NYE festivities, I will meditate on this.

All that said, I am not particular with labels; only using them when I need to communicate where I am for my practice. 🔮♉

That said, I am a Taurus with ADHD, so the two pretty much cancel another out.
