I've been pulling the Queen of Swords for SO many folks lately, and she was a real guiding force — and my ally card — in 2025. So I know her message pretty well. To help you if you're dancing with her energy this year, I'm reading my chapter on her from my upcoming book, Tarot for People Pleasers and Perfectionists: How to Use the Cards to Make Better Decisions, Set Boundaries, and Finally Trust Yourself. Enjoy!

Welcome to your Tarot for 2026 year ahead forecast! I asked the cards several questions about this coming turn on the wheel, so let’s get into it…

2026 brings a collective shift out of isolation and survival mode and into movement, agency, and light. While the energy is more expansive, the main challenges ahead are internal: comparison, self-doubt, shame, and “not enoughness.”

Through cards like the Five of Cups reversed, Wheel of Fortune, Star, and Pages of Pentacles and Cups, this reading explores emotional healing, devotion to meaningful work, rebuilding intuition, and the return to local community. The medicine of the year asks you to ground deeply, trust divine timing, choose kinder inner language, and create purpose slowly and devotionally.

With Eagle Spirit as a guide, 2026 invites you to rise with courage, perspective, and trust — becoming a grounded leader and healer in your own life and community.

If you liked this forecast, know I do these Tarot readings every week for paid subscribers, and I have a 20% off sale going on until January 10 — making it just $60 for the entire year of The New Sensitive.
