Did my Wheel of the Year spread at Samhain this year.
I lay out the cards in a circular pattern to resemble a clock.
Each card represents a "time" on the clock - 1:00 is this current month, November.
I also laid out a Summary card for the year as a whole.
I used my Angel Tarot cards by Doreen Virtue
1:00 (November 2014) - King of Air - Brilliant, Impartial, Professional, Diplomatic - Speak your mind with confidence. Seek out professional advice. Balance mental and emotional considerations.
Situations: You may receive valuable advice from an intelligent professional. It's important that your decisions be fair and equitable to all involved. Don't hesitate to consult a third party, if necessary, yet speak your mind with confidence.
People: A person who's at the top of his/her field, especially in an intellectual area such as law, science or business. Someone who's an excellent speaker and is known for the ability to be objective and diplomatic. Brilliant. Authoritative. Impartial. Professional. Balanced. Motivational.
Additional Meanings: Justice. A mediator. Forgetting to weigh the emotional aspects of a situation. The government or the military.
2:00 (December 2014) - The Star - Archangel Jophiel - Happy times. Make positive, optimistic long-term plans. On the right path.
Meaning: Go ahead: wish upon a star! The angels say you have every reason to feel hope and happy expectation! Believe in your dreams; and look to your future with optimism, excitement, and confidence. Challenging times are now behind you, and brighter times are ahead. Make your plans with the long view in mind. Now is the time to envision your life the way you want it to be and to take action in that direction. The expectations you create for yourself are planted in fertile soil. Trust and follow your intuition, as it's right on target.

Archangel Jophiel is the angel of optimism who helps us develop a sunshiny outlook and attitude. Call upon Jophiel to help you celebrate your victories and stay optimistic about your future.
3:00 (January 2015) - Seven of Earth - Seeds well planted. A temporary pause in action. Unnecessary worry.
Meaning: The fruits of your labors continue to grow, and harvest is imminent. Patience is essential as you pause to plan your next steps. You may feel you have far to go, but don't forget how far you've already come. Review and acknowledge your progress from a broader perspective. Anxiety regarding the current situation is unfounded. Any halt in forward movement is temporary. This is a good time to rest or vacation to recharge your batteries.
Additional meanings: Perseverance. Reaching a milestone. Considering a new approach. Unnecessary worry.
4:00 (February 2015) - Nine of Air - Expecting the worst. Self-fulfilling prophecies. Sleepless nights.
Meanings: Positive thinking is essential right now. Your own obsessive, negative thoughts are the true culprits behind the trouble you fear. Release your guilt, and realize that regret is a wasted emotion. Turn your attention to the amazing possibilities for the future, and leave the past behind. If you're having unpleasant dreams at this time, write them in a journal, bless them for their desire to inform you, and then send them to the angels. If depression is an issue, encourage those affected to seek professional counseling.
Additional meanings: Sleeplessness. Racing thoughts. Expecting the worst. Self-fulfilling prophecies. Worry. Stress-related illness.
5:00 (March 2015) - Four of Water - Missing an opportunity. Discontentment or boredom. Open your eyes to the possibilities.
Meanings: Things may not have turned out the way you expected. Be careful not to focus too much on the negative, as there's a positive in every situation. You may be missing the silver lining. Fighting or trying to ignore change doesn't serve you. Instead, have faith that everything happens for a reason. It's healthy to grieve what has been lost and take the time to heal. Reach out to friends, family and wise counselors for support and comfort.
Additional meanings: Sadness. The end of a relationship. Wishing you could change the past. Obsession. Crying over spilled milk.
6:00 (April 2015) - Page of Fire - Outgoing, Creative, Confident, Mischievous - News of an exciting new endeavor. Use your originality and ingenuity.
Situations: An exciting new opportunity comes your way! The angels guide you to wholeheartedly embrace this new endeavor. It may seem like a challenge, but it's one you're ready for. Dazzle people with your originality and ingenuity!

Additional meanings: Happy marriages. Positive relationships with children. Security. Taking care of family members.
8:00 (June 2015) - Six of Air - Things are looking up! The end of a difficult situation. Taking a trip.

Additional meanings: Doing your research. Wisdom beyond one's years. A return to school. Materialism.
10:00 (August 2015) - Ten of Earth - A very happy family life. Financial security. Finding magic in the little things in life.
Meanings: Abundance and financial security are at hand. You've established a lasting foundation of success in business. With this success come feelings of freedom. Material comforts, satisfaction in your accomplishments, and the capacity to enjoy yourself are now (or will soon be) yours. Still, it's important to appreciate the little things in life. Your family life is strong, secure and peaceful. This may include your blood relatives, a "chosen family," or a community of people to whom you strongly relate. You draw great comfort from those around you and know that you've been extremely blessed.
Additional meanings: Happiness. Inheritance. Passing on knowledge. A sense of completion.
11:00 (September 2015) - Five of Air - An unwise choice. Learn what you can from this situation. Review everyone's motives.
Meanings: This situation hasn't worked out the way you'd hoped, but you can try again. Your power lies not in how all the chips fall, but in how you handle yourself moving forward. You may now feel that the cost of this venture is too high. Carefully evaluate the way events have transpired in order to gain valuable lessons for your future. Someone in the situation isn't coming from a place of integrity. The desire to win is so strong that the individual will ignore others' needs. Review everyone's motives (including your own), and do what you can to foster a win-win resolution.
Additional meanings: Unwise choices. A desire for revenge. Thinking only of oneself. Gloating.
12:00 (October 2015) - The World - Archangel Michael - A job well done! Joy, contentment, and gratitude. The path toward enlightenment.
Meanings: The angels sent you this card because you've happily completed something of great importance. They're congratulating you on a job well done. You're now ready to move on to something new. Enjoy your feelings of wholeness and completion, and give yourself a pat on the back for your amazing accomplishments! You've grown spiritually and have evolved to a whole new level in your understanding of the Universe. You've experienced significant enlightenment and have expanded your consciousness of how to attain joy and contentment. You feel a great sense of gratitude.
Additional meanings: Perfection. A move to the next level. Receiving an award. A new house or job. Complete clarity. Cosmic awareness. Recognition for the use of your talents. Freedom.
Archangel Michael oversees your Divine life purpose, and he knows what roles your soul has been born to fulfill. Call upon Michael for guidance as to your next steps, and for the courage, strength, and confidence to take them.
Summary Card - Strength - Archangel Ariel - Great inner strength. Release harsh judgments. Forgiveness and compassion.
Meanings: This card comes to you because you need to know that you're stronger than you realize. You can definitely handle your current situation. However, instead of "powering through it," you're better off with an approach of compassion, kindness, and gentleness. The strength that this situation calls for comes from the softness of a spiritual core. Your strength and effectiveness increase as you believe in yourself and your ability to grow from the experiences you have in life. Look upon challenges as opportunities to learn and apply your knowledge and magical touch.
Additional meanings: Patience. Forgiveness. The courage of your convictions. Using honey instead of vinegar.
Archangel Ariel is the angel of the spirit of nature. Because Ariel is so close to the earth, she helps with day-to-day material needs of home, food, clothing, and so forth. Call upon Ariel for strength and support if you're worried about finances or desperate times.
