3. Second half of the year (Jul-Dec) - XII The Hanged Man, 9 of Hearts
Voluntary sacrifice, own choices - Love
The Hanged Man speaks of sacrifice, but this is a sacrifice that has been done on ones own terms. It relates to ones own wisdom, thoughts, and choices, and of letting go of something valuable to make room for something of even greater value. He tells you that only through sacrifice can one gain the things one deserve. 9 of Hearts is the very symbol of pure, true love, and nothing but love.

If you are in a relationship, you might need to break it up, or at least take a break, but if you are single then it might be telling you to let go of your single status and take a chance on love. If you're still in love with someone from your past, then it is time to put that love behind you and face what's ahead. True love is just around the corner, if only you are willing to make the sacrifice that is needed to be ready for that love.
4. End of the year (Nov-Dec) - VII The Chariot, 9 of Spades
Control, passion, victory after a hard fight - Unforseen love
The Chariot speaks about taking control of two opposites, and success after a hard battle. It speaks of passion - possibly related to work - and of balancing two very different things that normally would collide. Keep a hand on the reigns, or you will lose control, is the warning the Chariot gives you. The 9 of Spades speaks of an unforseen, or hidden, love. One that you did not expect, or did not dare believe in, or one that has been kept from you up until now.
In relation to eachother, the Chariot is telling you that if you gain control over the two major opposing forces in your life, a love that you did not expect will appear before you. In regards to love and your social life, this could speak of learning how to balance your passion for your work, and your general social life - as these are often two opposing forces - and how this might help you discover a new love that had so far been in the dark and thus unseen by you. It's been a hard fight, learning to juggle your work and your time with friends and loved ones, but you will be successful, and what you will discover is quite possibly the love of your life.

Summary of the Year 2015
You've been suffering due to uncertainty and darkness regarding your feelings, giving you an emotional struggle that drained you, but light is coming to clear up that darkness and bring clarity to your life. This will affect you physically and help you regain your strength and your energy - after having lost something of importance - and like a phoenix you will arise from the ashes. You will see who you truly are, in the depth of your very existence, and this will bring you a power that will help you find the inspiration and motivation you need to start on a new project - and create your own reality. A new person might enter your life, bringing that said light with it, and this will help untangle the knots that had you tied down.
Beginning of the year; January & February
Regarding your work, there was a blockade - a darkness - keeping you from getting anywhere, but that darkness will now vanish, and you will gain the clarity and the light you need. You will see things from a new perspective, and you can finally cast away the olde, let it die, and be born anew. Your work is now ready to be what it is supposed to be.
There might be some trouble regarding your home and family, as there is someone - maybe a relative - that might be trying to deceive you and cloud your vision, but the best thing to do is to just step back and look at it all from a distance. There might be things you have yet to see that might just tip the scales completely, so bide your time and make sure you weigh in all the things before passing judgement.
When it comes to money, and your general financial situation, you are now at a crossroad, ready to decide which path to take. A new opportunity will present itself to you, promising a new source of income, and if you listen to the advice given, you will be able to make the right choice, and you will learn how to be able to support your family as well as your passion.
You are in the process of taking charge of yourself and your life, gaining the control and the power you desire, and you have to remember to keep a steady balance in that power to keep going. Taking charge requires a lot, and if you are to stand your ground as your own master, you will need to keep a calm mind and make sure you don't swerve to the sides.
This is a time of quiet and contemplation when it comes to love and your social life, and you should take that time to reflect upon things within yourself. Someone close to you - a friend or a lover - is causing darkness in your life, and you are urged to create distance between yourself and this person. Have patience, stay calm, and take the time you need to figure things out on your own, and you will be able to see through that darkness.
First half of the year; January - June
The choices you've made regarding your work and your hobbies will cause a massive change in the first half of the year, and you have to face the consequences of those choises and the changes they make. Your work might take an unexpected turn, but it is nothing to fear, as it was something that was meant to happen. You may need to change your approach to your work, due to the choices you've made in the past, but this new approach will be a better one, and it will steer you in on the path your work was meant to take.
Someone new will enter your life - possibly through family - bringing the sun with it and shining a light into your darkness, giving you a clarity you did not have before. After taking your stand against the one that was trying to cloud your vision, you will now face nothing but love - though you are warned not to be too careless. If you are too reckless, you might destroy that which you have built - your own home - and you will be burned.
Follow your dreams and your fantasies, because within your mind there are things hidden that will help you bring money into your life. Once you've made your choice regarding what to do, you should keep going with your own ideas as your guiding star, and you will not suffer financially. Just trust yourself, and your own instincts as a woman, and you shall not be led astray.
You have a hard choice ahead of you in the first half of the year, and that choice will affect you physically. You seem to be made to choose between two very different paths, and you are urged to think very carefully before making your choice. Whatever you choose will vastly affect your basic physical needs, and you have to make sure that the choice you make is the right one.
Just remember to be open and honest about your feelings, and discuss them peacefully if there is any debate to be made. You will reach a common ground, and there will be a positive change made to your lovelife that is brought on by your own actions. You will be able to keep moving forward, as you will be able to let go of the things that surpress you by being honest about what you're feeling.
Second half of the year; July - December
In the second half of the year you will be forced to face the darkness within you - your own fears and restraints. Look to the new person in your life - the one that brings the light with it - as that person will help you face things. The consequences, and the sudden and unexpected changes that was brought into your life and your work, that you were forced to face, was caused by the choices your own inner darkness took. It is now time to face those inner demons of yours - with the help and guidance from this new person - as it will help you reach a new conclusion and a better path regarding your work.
There will be a great change regarding your home and your family life, and in preparation for that change you will need to tear down the old structures around you. You might need to change the way things are in your own home - maybe by moving to a new one - as there is something new and important coming your way. Do not be too proud, or you will stumble and fall. Whatever lies ahead, may it be a new family member, a new lover, a new friend, or a child, greet it with open arms and show it that you have already prepared for its arrival.
The path you chose, regarding your work, brought you a new income, and by following those dreams and innermost fantasies of yours, you will finally reach the end of that path - and achieve your goals. You have done what you set out to do, so rejoice and take pride in that, because you emerged triumphant - and with the money you so desperately needed.
Facing the darkness within will not just alter your work for the better, but also yourself - both physically as well as spiritually. By facing your own fears - especially regarding your fear of love on the physical plane - will help you find a new strength and courage in yourself that you did not know that you had. Look into the depths of your soul and find that strength, and you will overcome all of your fears, and you will find the passion and the love that can come from physical connection.
But you must be ready to make some sacrifices. Hanging on to your old fears, and your darkness, might seem safe, but by giving up that safety that you have, you will find something new and better. True love is now approaching, and by facing your fears and overcoming them, you will make the sacrifice needed to be ready for this love.
End of the year; November & December

It is time to close this book, and put it behind you so that you will be ready to start on a new one.
You might be starting a new home, with a loved one, and it is time to look inside for the love that you possess, as it will help you build a strong fundation for your home - both metaphorically as well as literally. Stay true to who you are, and whenever you feel lost you only have to look inside yourself to find that which you need.
The income that was brought to you by the choice you made might now come to an end, as you finished the task you set out to do. But do not fear, because the love that now stands by your side is an eternal one, and together you will face the turning of the wheels of fate, and you will see that this change will not bring you despair as you first thought. This new change will, instead, bring you to a stronger and better financial situation.
There is always hope, and after facing all of your fears and your darkness, you will have a new light in your life and your soul, and a balance you never even knew you needed. Love is there, by your side, and together you stand stronger than before, and your physical and spiritual self will certainly feel the positive effects of that.
