January 2020
the world’s card for the month
The collective card for January 2020 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 card in Tarot represents tradition, mentorship, shared beliefs, and knowledge passed down from one generation to the next. He sits between two pillars wearing a triple crown, with one hand raised in blessing. Two crossed keys lie at his feet, and two students kneel in front of him. This card is about learning from the people who came before you and belonging to something older than yourself.
How January 2020 becomes The Hierophant
The collective year card for 2020 is The Emperor (4). Add the month number (January is month 1): 4 + 1 = 5. Card 5 is The Hierophant.
