Interesting... Year of Lovers = Met Matt

Jesse tried to do a tarot reading for me years ago and the only part we really did was my year cards. The year cycles are birthday to birthday, not calendar year.

To find yours:

1. Add together your month and day. Example: me, born 11/20, so month 11 + day 20 = 31.
2. Take 31 and add it to the year you wish to know about. For instance, we did this for 2009 so 2009 + 31 = 2040.
3. Take 2040 and add the digits together. 2 + 0 + 4 + 0
4. From this we get 6. Starting Nov 20, 2009 I was in a 6 year, the Lovers, through Nov 20, 2010.
   

I met Matt on July 30, 2010 so I was in my year of the Lovers. When we married in 2011, we were in Matt's Lovers year. Here's a description I found of it:

So who is the lucky or unlucky partner? This is a year of union and separation, of seeing yourself in the mirror of relationship. Friendships and relationships which end now will end simply because the lesson for both parties is over--endings in a Lover's Year are D.O.A. and often traumatic. No resuscitating here!
Existing relationships that survive the Lover's test have been forged in a crucible of soul-communion --long live those relationships (at least until the next Lovers year).
Unions and partnerships also begin in this year. These run the gamut from birth of a child or grandchild to business partnership to marriage, to engagement, to the start of dating. These all share a common characteristic: they are your classic "soul mate", known-each-other-forever re-unions. Expect to learn a lot, and over a lifetime, with any relationship that BEGINS in a Lover's Year. Even divorce or death will not keep this relationship from thriving.
Unions in a Lovers Year are about commitment at the soul level to furthering each other's growth by supporting, mirroring, shadowing each other: this is the cypress and the oak, side by side, sharing the same water, same sun, neither crowding the other. This is also your typical screaming Italian union, in which fireworks are the spark that keep each other growing! Hot hot, cold cold, never lukewarm!
