I have been drawn to praying for the family of Natasha Richardson for the past few days as the news of her fatal injury is broadcast. Now tonight, I was curious how her birth cards for this current year played into this tragic accident. With the Science of the Cards, one can determine the ten main cards guiding each year of your life and these cards can be found in the yearly card charts books. Each card initially stands for one 52 day period and then its influence is carried into the rest of the year. There are seven- 52 day periods in the year, which adds up to the 365 days. Each card has a planetary influence which sets the tone for the reception of the card's energy. Numerology(science of numbers) and the card suit(hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades) also play a role, so this card science is simple and complex at the same time. There are many layers to this science and their is much intuitive guidance available accompanying the science itself.
As I begin to refer to the chart below, I will initially explain the following: cards directly related to Ms. Richardson are located beneath the pink banded row and cards directly related to Mr. Neeson are located beneath the blue banded row.
The gray shaded boxes all hold cards which can be connected to loss of life, with the Ace of Spades and the Six of Spades being the strongest of the 'death' cards. NR's Ace of spades in Pluto represents her challenge for the year, and can stand for death and rebirth situations, where lessons are learned and they transform you as a result. The Ace of spades is one of three death cards; with the six and the nine of spades completing the trio. These cards do not have to be present for someone to die and sometimes they are present to indicate someone close to you will die. However, when the ace of spades shows up in the Pluto position, it is stronger than it would be in any of the other card positions.
Next, it is important to notice the six of spades(death) / five of spades(change of lifestyle) combo in the Saturn position on LM's chart for this year. It does indicate possible challenges, lessons and difficulties under Saturn the taskmaster. All three combined, Saturn, five of spades and six of spades; send out a warning that some big change is coming.

The Venus cards for both, which rules relationships and family hold two challenging heart cards, the indecisive, worrisome and creative three and the King, who tends to be burdened by heart issues before he is able to heal them. I am sure this heartbreaking event is rippling out through their family and friends.
Lastly, and more astonishingly, are found the two identical five of hearts cards showing up as the influence for the year for NR and as the challenge for the year for LM. Five of hearts has been termed the 'divorce' card or the 'travel away from loved ones' card. It is the card of emotional movement, changes in relationships and certaninly pertains in this case.
Looking at their result cards for the year, NR has the very essence of spiritual love card, the seven of hearts and certainly this is what we experience once we cross over into Spirit. LM has essentially the higher self of his birth card (the ten of diamonds); the king of diamonds--requiring him to step into his full maturity and fathering. The result card indicates the results of all that has occurred during the year and is usually not felt until your birthday at the end of your year.
All in all, this is a most dramatic positioning of cards which correspond to what has transpired. It is believed by some that 10 to 20 % of what happens in life is fated and unavoidable and if you study the cards; almost predictable. My prayers continue to go out to this family and circle of friends who have lost a dear soul, may their healing be surrounded with Love.
