As we near the tail end of 2022, and all of the celebrations and festivities in store, it’s a good time to reflect on the year we’ve lived.
Highs and lows. Insights and surprises. Successes and losses. New news and departures. And, importantly, how have we grown or changed throughout this time? What have we learnt?
Taking stock like this helps to build your resilience to life’s twists, to see the silver lining, to understand nothing lasts forever and there’s always new hope, a new day, a new chance to start anew.
Let the tarot guide you towards the life lesson for your sign from 2022’s events.
Ahead you’ll find your star sign’s life lessons for 2022, with a tarot card drawn and its meaning for you explained.
