| Are you on the road to somewhere? |
It seems that setting goals is essential for achieving success, and these planners are designed to help you document everything and track your progress daily, weekly, or monthly.
Even I have created the Tarot Moon Journal workbook for all Tarot enthusiasts out there, who not only want to be more mindful about their aspirations, but also want to learn some new tarot skills along the way.
But perhaps you are thinking that this is not for you. You don't have any specific goals except survive and have some good times along the way.
For many people, 2016 turned out to be difficult and even traumatic at times, and if you are one of them, then perhaps all you want to do is recover and heal and simply make the most of the cards you are going to be dealt with this year.
One of them is our global year card, the Wheel of Fortune. Brace yourself... swoosh! 😄
And then you see all these fancy, optimistic la-la people on the internet raving about how certain planners helped them build a successful business or find their soulmate.
And you just recoil feeling a little bit shitty, because your situation is a little less happy-go-lucky-la-la, to say the least.
But guess what? It's perfectly okay not to have any goals.
Yes, don't worry about it. Just let all that hype go.

Instead, you can do a bit of soul work with your tarot cards to gain some perspective and direction.
Perspective is always good, especially when you feel you're drifting and you don't quite know what you want or where you're heading.
Start off by calculating your year card (mine is Strength this year)
Then, work out your word for the year based on your year card (my word for the year 2017 is CREATE).
Your personal power word will offer you a sense of purpose, direction and guidance over the next twelve months ahead.
Now you should have some idea of what you might want to focus on over the coming months, and you can continue to draw tarot cards for more specific ideas.
On the left you can see a page from my Tarot Moon Journal, on which I have simply recorded the cards I drew for specific areas in my life.
These cards can give you a hint on what you may wish to aim for, but if not, then just leave them there and revisit the page from time to time to see, how the messages of the cards begin to unfold.
You don't need to have any flashy goals to have a great year ahead.
If you have experienced loss, heartache, health issues or any other challenging situation, every little step towards recovery and healing will be a huge achievement.
Drawing a card and asking What can I do today to help me heal? can be an empowering way to make a positive difference without getting overwhelmed by elaborate or even out-of-reach goals.
Once you have made a start with your year card and personal power word for 2017, you may feel a little more in control of the direction you wish to take.
And having at least some control over your life is a good feeling. You can build on that with regular journaling as a personal development and healing tool.
If you would like to learn more about creative tarot journaling for healing and personal growth, then please do join me on Ko-fi.
Wishing you all the Best for the New Year,
Christiane 🦄
