December 2018
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for December 2018 is The Magician. 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 Magician card in Tarot represents focus, willpower, skill, and turning ideas into something real. He stands at a table with the four suits—cup, wand, sword, and pentacle—laid out in front of him. One hand holds a wand up toward the sky and the other points down at the ground. An infinity symbol floats over his head. This card is about using what you already have.
How December 2018 becomes The Magician
The collective year card for 2018 is Justice (11). Add the month number (December is month 12): 11 + 12 = 23, which wraps around the twenty-two to 1. Card 1 is The Magician.
