January 1997
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for January 1997 is The Hierophant. It’s the same for everyone alive this month, set by the date alone, and it sits in the initiation third of the wheel.
The Hierophant is the part of you that learns from what came before. He is tradition, lineage, the knowledge that gets handed down rather than invented from scratch. He stands for belonging to something older than yourself.
How January 1997 becomes The Hierophant
The collective year card for 1997 is The Emperor (4). Add the month number (January is month 1): 4 + 1 = 5. Card 5 is The Hierophant.
