A Word for the Year?
New Year concept graphic: a clock strikes 2024 with fireworks.
In the past few weeks, I have noticed a New Year trend on social media that feels new; maybe I never noticed it before.
Instead of talking about New Year's resolutions, people are picking a word for their 2024. As a self-proclaimed word nerd, I love this idea.
Some might find that a word needs to be expanded to a phrase or a motto for the year.
This feels like a simple way to create magic and set an intention and a goal for the new year without the heaviness of a full list that will likely be neglected after a few weeks.
Do you have a word or phrase for your 2024? There is still time to find one. This could be a great divination or meditative exercise at any point in this first month of the new year.

A Year of Strength and Justice
Tarot numerology differs from Pythagorean numerology, Kabbalistic numerology, or other numeric divination systems. Yet, all numerology has common ideas and practices. One of those is that anything that inherently has a number as part of its identity receives energy from that number. Your address has a specific energy because your address includes a number. Your energy can be described by the number derived from the date of your birth and the number derived from your name. Want to change your energy? Change your name!
There is no time of year when tarot people discuss numerology as much as the New Year. That is because we have a collective card of the year derived from the year number.
2024 is particularly interesting because it reduces to 8. In tarot, there are two different traditions for the Major Arcana card associated with 8. In the Waite tradition, which is the world’s most popular, card 8 is Strength. This means that 2024 is the year of Strength. In other tarot systems, card 8 is Justice, making 2024 the year of Justice.
At StaarCon, we will be exploring 2024 as the year of Strength.
Looking at the year ahead, I am considering claiming both Strength AND Justice for 2024. I think we need both energies right now.
Strength offers us compassion and a peaceful acknowledgment and resolution of differences. Justice offers us fairness, balance, and the rule of law. As individuals and as nations, having these energies available to us this year could help us avert potential problems.
How do you see the energies of Strength and Justice playing out in 2024?
