Hi there Tarot Friends, Happy Yule! The year is winding down and I'm getting ready to move! I love it when right timing plays out. Cuz believe me, I've been off in my timing, and I always know it. I hope whatever it is that you are doing as this year draws to a close is the right timing for you. This Tarot Card Isn't Random - it's calculatedand it sets the one for your entire year ahead! (so don't skip it)A simple, mathematical calculation will give you a vibe of what’s ahead for you in 2026. Yes, it’s numerology - Instead of reducing to a number between 1 and 9, Your Tarot year card is a number between 1 and 21, and corresponds one of the Tarot Major Arcana cards. (What about the Fool, card 0, you ask. Personally I leave him floating in the liminal space between this dimension and others. But if you feel you must include him, use the number 22.)
What’s your personal tone for 2026?
So what’s your personal tone for 2026? I’ve included some ideas below in the cheat sheet. These are by no means all inclusive, but a a way to get you started thinking about your guardian spirit of the year. I personally would rather think about the year ahead as my Hermit year, rather than my 58th year. I The Magician Take the bull by the horns. This is a year to actively create your destiny, start new projects. Exercise focus on the outer world. II The High Priestess A year of quiet disclosures. Doors open inward. You don’t chase answers; you listen for them. Exercise focus on the inner world. Secrets revealed. III The Empress A year of lushness. Ideas grow ripe the moment you touch them. Your job is to cultivate, not control. You could get pregnant or birth something you much care about into the world. IV The Emperor A year of focus on the foundation. Boundaries get reinforced. Systems get teeth. You choose your throne and finally sit in it. V The Hierophant A year of lineage. Old teachings find new uses. Ritual becomes scaffolding. You mentor and are mentored in equal measure. VI The Lovers A year of choosing your path by choosing your desires. You may be presented with a fork in the road that marks a major turning point. Partnerships may figure prominently. Things may “double up” (think Gemini). VII The Chariot A year of momentum. You steer your beasts instead of being dragged by them. Discipline unlocks velocity. You break through one big wall. Keep your focus so you don’t overturn the chariot. VIII Strength A year of power without force. Patience becomes your strongest muscle. Soft persistence moves mountains that brute effort couldn’t budge. It’s a year of courage and doing things from the heart. IX The Hermit A year of lighthouse building. You withdraw just enough to refine the signal. Solitude becomes generative. Your wisdom glows outwards. You may find a mentor or guru or become one. Deep study is called for. X Wheel of Fortune A year of cosmic roulette. Expect the delightfully unplanned. Try many things because anything can happen. You can’t win if you don’t play! Karma ripens. XI Justice A year of calibration. You weigh what truly matters, not what you “should.” Decisions snap into place. Integrity becomes your compass. XII The Hanged One A year of reversal. What used to push becomes pull. What used to confuse becomes revelation. Surrender becomes a strategy. Think of the trapeze artist letting go of one rope for the next. XIII Death A year of composting. Old structures fall apart gently or abruptly, but always on time. Release becomes liberation. New seeds stir. Don’t fight change. XIV Temperance A year of alchemy. You blend, remix, and create third options. Balance happens through experimentation, not austerity. Walk the middle road. XV The Devil Don’t play the victim this year. You are the one standing your way. You see the contracts you signed unconsciously. You renegotiate them. Facing your demons. Recognize your self limiting beliefs and burn them. XVI The Tower A year of breakdown or breakthrough. Lightning quick insights need lightning quick action. The ground is shaking, time to make a move. XVII The Star A year of replenishment. Fresh water for a tired spirit. Hope, but the practical kind. It’s time to reconnect to your inner compass. Shoot for the moon and you’ll land in the stars. XVIII The Moon Magic happens in the dark, but boy can it be scary. A good time for deep psychological work, ancestral work, and clearing karma. Work with the moon. Follow her waxing and waning. XIX The Sun A year of radiant visibility. Things get simpler. Joy becomes a strategy. Your work and self both get brighter and more obvious. Act like a kid again. Express yourself. This year is yours for the taking! XX Judgment A year of awakening. Old pieces click into their rightful places. You answer a call that’s been ringing for years. You express parts of yourself that you kept in the closet. This is a year to question your highest spiritual values and perspectives. XXI The World A year of completion and inauguration. You finish a cycle with grace and step into a larger version of yourself. Answer the question, what’s next?
