Your Cardology year if you were born on 30 December
Your Cardology year starts every 30 December. It’s split into seven periods of 52 days, each with its own theme:
| Period and theme | Dates |

| VenusRelationships, friends, family, home and enjoyment. | 20 Feb to 12 Apr |

| UranusChange, surprises, independence and gut feelings. | 16 Sep to 6 Nov |
| NeptuneDreams, imagination, travel, rest and wrapping up the year before your birthday. | 7 Nov to 29 Dec |
Dates are for years without 29 February. If 29 February falls inside your year, periods after it start one day earlier.
Each year of your life also has a planet of its own, based on your age. Divide your age by 7: a remainder of 0 is a Mercury year, 1 Venus, 2 Mars, 3 Jupiter, 4 Saturn, 5 Uranus and 6 Neptune. Read about planet years.
