1, 2 & 3) Base level-represents the sands that have already fallen, what to reflect on this past year, accomplishments, major changes and any significant problems.  Also represents the overall theme of the reading.

4 & 5) 2nd level-recent events, sands that have just fallen and indicae energies that are passing out of your life or things that need to be released.

6) 3rd level-sands passing through the narrowest part of the hourglass, representing where you are in this moment.

7 & 8) 4th level-sands about to fall, energies or influences soon to enter your life in the coming year.

9, 10 & 11) Top level-represents the vast potential of the coming year, all the things that may come to pass.  Indicates things to accomplish, major transitions or issues that are ready to dealt with during the coming year.

This is designed by Thrysse and is a superb year forecast spread and could also be used for regular reviewing-it's quite general, doesn't look specifically into the different areas but the cards will strongly indicate which areas need the most work.  Link to site is here.
