This Week's TarotScope 1/4 -1/11 2026

Hello and Happy New Year! I am so excited for 2026 and I hope you are too. Your first reading of the New Year is a great one, so tuck in with your favorite cup of brew and a snack and enjoy the post. What have you had on your creation table recently? Definitely make sure you read this post before deciding if you are finished with what you are manifesting. Honestly, for me, this reading let me know that I'm closer to finishing a project than I thought, so I just need to stop putting it off and finish putting it all together. Get ready for my new podcast, Spirit Realm, very soon!

XIII Leucosis/Lightening

“Perfectionism, facade, hesitation.” Sit back and plan your next moves carefully. You have entered the new year, but not all of your work from the old year is complete. It may seem like it, it may even seem to be perfect, but it is, in fact, incomplete. Don’t be fooled by what you see on the surface. Minor details can be easily missed. Go back over your work with a fine toothed comb. You aren’t quite ready to reveal yourself to the world yet. Make those final adjustments.

Energy of the week: The Emperor

“Protection, stability, the father.” This will be your week to make those final decisions you’ve been avoiding or putting off, those final action steps to be completed. You have the clarity you needed in which to proceed and now that you are nearly at the finish line, you are feeling that push to take control and make it happen

Challenge: 4 of Pentacles

“Possession, control.” Now that you are starting to feel more stable, especially in your finances, don’t become too controlling. Don’t hold onto your wealth too tightly. Remember that maintaining wealth requires a little bit of give. As long as you know where your money is going, you’ll be sure to see it flowing back to you in kind. Remember that you don’t attract abundance through lack and fear. Know what you have to share and give, but also understand that you can’t give from an empty cup. Moderation and balance. 

Focus: Ace of Wands

“Expansion, inspiration.” The Ace of Wands as your focus is really calling to your good judgment. Don’t rush headlong into hasty decisions. Remember Leucosis, your work is not yet done, but it is nearly perfect. Work smarter, not harder. Every action needs to come from deliberate intention. With your challenge this week coming from the 4 of Pentacles, remember that balance is important. You’re weighing the outcomes and possibilities, shifting the weights in the scales, creating balance. The Ace of Wands is high energy, but you need to harness it purposefully, not hastily. Don’t rush your work. 

To Sum it up. . .

Know that you are not quite ready to reveal your hard work and efforts to the world. While you may think everything is perfect, it won't hold up under the microscope. You can do this. Work with deliberate intention, make necessary adjustments and bring everything into balance. Moderation is key. There is growth and expansion in your challenges, not punishment. Why settle for the B when you can get an A+?
