Aries
Your Card: Ten of Swords, Reversed.
To say you took your lumps in 2025 is putting it lightly, Aries, you were put through the wringer. Remember that failure is part of the pursuit of success, and that sometimes knowing who is willing to stab you in the back is better learned sooner rather than later. Don’t dwell on what happened – but don’t forget it, either. Use what you’ve learned to fuel your transformation.
Taurus
Your Card: Six of Pentacles.
Be generous, Taurus. Kindness, helpfulness, charity, and generosity are ways of expressing our gratitude. Giving is a wonderful way to invite receiving, and gratitude awakens the flow of abundance and invites it into your life. We’ll all have the experience of being in need or being of help at some point in our lives, and the best way to make a better world is to create it around yourself.
Gemini
Your Card: Queen of Swords, Reversed.
The wisest words and most vital truths will be ignored if improperly delivered, Gemini. You’ve been through a lot in 2025, but it’s important that you are mindful that some of your more raw feelings may impact your ability to communicate as effectively. You may find balancing your emotions with the deep truths you want to communicate difficult. Using your experiences as a way to connect instead of a way to advise until you’re emotionally steady may be the more meaningful approach.
Cancer
Your Card: Queen of Pentacles.
There’s abundance around you, Cancer. With such a great bounty, what, and who will your nurture in the coming year? With the solid, supportive foundation you’ve built for yourself throughout 2025 you can start to not only survive, but to heal and ultimately thrive. With so much potential, there’s plenty of energy and abundance to spare for deep life transformations that can extend into your support network.
Leo
Your Card: The Lovers, Reversed.
You’ve been challenged in your relationships, Leo, and the best thing you can do to transform your life in 2026 is to make sure that your relationships reflect who you are and who you want to be. What you really value can be derived by what – and who – you spend time with. Be mindful of relationships that may have turned co-dependent. Evaluate the expectations you hold for yourself and others, and focus on relationships with people who are good to you AND good for you. You deserve nothing less.
Virgo
Your Card: King of Wands, Reversed.
You could be the very creative visionary you’re looking for if you allow yourself the freedom to be, Virgo. I know that sounds crunchy let me be more direct – you’re going to need to invest time and resources in yourself and your dreams if you’re going to make them come true. That includes dreams of the person you’re trying to be. Embrace your enterprising side – you’re more than prepared enough to blaze your own trail. Build the confidence to make that first step – it’s not quite the doozy you think it is.
Libra
Your Card: Knight of Swords.
To transform your life means finally embracing with your full self the cause you’ve been championing in your thoughts for the last few months, Libra. The first step towards the excellence you’re seeking is in aligning your thoughts, words, and actions. Your passion and fervor might be surprising to some of those in your life, but it’s continually denying yourself the ability to express your passion isn’t going to make it go away.
Scorpio
Your Card: Two of Wands.
The biggest favor you can do to support your transformation in the coming year is crafting a meaningful plan for yourself, Scorpio. It can be fun to spontaneously race towards your goal – but it can be more impactful if you figure out exactly where that energy can take you. Being careful and selective of where you set your intentions is just as meaningful as any other work towards your goal.
Sagittarius
Your Card: The Tower.
There aren’t many cards that are more linked with transformation than The Tower, Sagittarius. While the catastrophe depicted is terrible, it was also inevitable. Nothing lasts forever, and even the largest Tower will crumble if it’s not built on a solid foundation. It can be distressing to have such large institutions in life challenged, but your flair for reinvention and desire for a clean slate are a good fit for the transformations to come.
Capricorn
Your Card: Ace of Cups, Reversed.
You’re not always the type to delve into your emotions, but to make 2026 your most transformative year yet is going to mean sitting in your feelings for a while. Don’t judge what you’re feeling, every feeling is valid, Capricorn. What makes our character is what we do with those feelings. How are we nurturing our spirit? Which feelings do we enjoy dwelling with, and which are those that should be let go? Be as gracious, loving, and patient with yourself as you would be with others.
Aquarius
Your Card: Wheel of Fortune, Reversed.
I know you were just starting to feel comfortable, Aquarius. The one inevitable thing in life, other than death (and taxes) is change. You’ll find your way towards balance and ultimately comfort again, but it’s important that you embrace the changes that are coming instead of fighting them. Accept with grace the idea that control is an illusion.
Pisces
Your Card: Death.
It was clear to you that things were ending and you had been bringing them together to this time and place to make big changes for yourself. There’s nothing left but the doing, Pisces. To make room for the new thoughts, habits, and routines will mean letting go of those that won’t serve you in the time to come. Have confidence – you’re more than ready to make the changes you’ve been driving towards.
