The Moon makes a year deep and ambiguous. On the plus side hidden things come to light, inspiration and a creative breakthrough arrive, ideas get realised, calm and a pause set in, you step away from trouble, see the people close to you and work on yourself; conception, pregnancy and birth are possible. On the minus side: depression, apathy and fear, escape into fantasy, feeling lost, losses, betrayal, flare-ups of illness and addiction, uncontrolled spending, collapsing plans, cancelled trips, wrong choices and a blurred outlook.
In the centre of the forecast, arcana 18 sets the tone of the whole year: much of it will be about the inner world, creativity and what used to be hidden. In point B and the inspiration point it is read only as a plus – inspiration, calm, the truth revealed. In point C and point D it is read only as a minus: uncontrolled spending and a blurred outlook in C; fear, apathy, illusions and wrong decisions in D. In the weak-spot point The Moon shows what is better postponed.

How do I calculate the arcana of my year?
The year gets its own date: the day is the number of days in it, reduced (365 → 14, 366 → 15), the month is its digit sum plus 12, the year stays – for 2026, 14.22.2026. Add this to your date of birth day to day, month to month, year to year, and reduce anything above 22 by adding its digits. That gives points A, B and C; the rest follow. Arcana 18 can land in any point; the calculator does it for you.
