In the world of Cardology, the year 2026 is a 10♥ year.
Because each card has a life path spread, when a year is a card, the energy of the year is seen through the life path spread of the card. The Life path spread has 16 cards, so I won’t go through all 16. I’ll focus on the planets that are significant right now.
2026 is a 1 year numerologically and we just entered a Fire Horse year in Chinese astrology.
Just that is a lot of bold, active, courageous energy. 
The 10♥ is also fiery and holds masculine, expansive, grandiose, bold, active energy.
10 cards represent success.
They are about a ‘lot of’ the suit…in this case a lot of heart, emotion, and groups of people who support and love each other.
The 10♥ is about community, our tribe, our heart family.
And after some years of feeling disconnected and divided, we now have the energy of family, community and being with those who support us.
Hearts also represent creativity, so this card also brings in an abundance of creativity.
Since the big planetary players for 2026 will be Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, that is what I’m focusing on in this post.
The Saturn card for the 10♥ is the Q♦.
What this reveals for 2026, is that the challenges and possible obstacles will be centered around discernment with our values and how we are contributing to our community or tribe.
Since the 10♥ is about our community, that Q♦ as the challenging (what we need to work on) energy lets us know that we are being asked to be more responsible with and to take time to focus on our community.
The Q♦ gives freely to her community, either through charity, acts of service, leadership or nurturing. Queens are the feminine aspect of leadership. And this Queen helps to build, support and nurture her community.
- What are you wanting in your relationships and community?
- Do you feel part of a community?
- What would you like to cultivate within your community?
- What do you need from your community?
The Queen gives freely, knowing she will receive what she needs in return. She knows that her giving doesn’t deplete her, it adds to her. But she is wise in her giving, discerning about how it will best serve the whole. And making sure it is part of her higher values.
Now we come to Uranus. In April Uranus is moving into Gemini.
This is where we’ll experience big leaps and changes.
The Uranus card for the 10♥ is the 5♥.
Uranus reveals the area of progress, changes, movement out of status quo and our authenticity verses community.
Meaning, how can I be authentically me and still belong and partake in my community?
The 5♥ is about emotional freedom. Making changes in how you feel, and where your heart is.
- Where have you been feeling restless to make a change within your relationships?
- Where have you felt trapped?
- Or where have you been acting with overly-dutiful, taking-on-all-the-responsibility in some relationship because you think if you don’t, you won’t be loved or accepted?
A big part of this time now is to be willing to let go of the perceptions that run your heart. The ideas and beliefs that make you feel how you do about life, about how others behave, about how things will go.
All of our “This is how it has to be” for me to be ok and comfortable – those have to be questioned now.
Where or how are any restrictive emotions blocking you from what you’d like to build or launch?
And by restrictive emotions, I’m referring to a limited or suppressed display of emotions.
Tycer and I watched the new season of Alone recently and one participant kept talking about how he felt it was best to teach his son to ignore his feelings. That if he was sad or felt hurt, he needed to ignore that and move on. By the time he had to go home, he had changed his mind about that, realizing that his time alone forced him to be with his emotions, to fully feel and allow them. That it made him better, not weak.
Ask yourself:
- Have I been ignoring any emotions out of fear of looking at what they are telling me?
- Do I have trapped desires I need to release to be allowed to grow?
- Am I feeling trapped and unable to have what I truly want?
- Am I overly controlling something I want to happen?
For me, one of the biggest things for this year around the 5♥ is that we are being asked to be OK with NOT knowing. Five cards are the energy of venturing out into the unknown, being willing to make a leap.
We are being asked to question our opinions and NOT have to always have an answer. To allow our inner knowing to guide us and help us make the changes we need to make.
Lastly, the Neptune card, which is the 3♣.
Neptune is our spiritual space, our spiritual ideals and visions, which we are assisted with through our sacred practices.
The 3♣ is the card of mental creativity, creative ideas and taking our creativity and adding in discipline, structure and taking action on them, so they aren’t just overwhelming ideas swirling around in our heads, but tangible creations that better our lives.
With Neptune in Aries, we have the energy of dissolving the ego and taking action on our spiritual ideals, to embody and BE the divine being that we are.
For many years, with Neptune in Pisces, we were mesmerized by false glamour, illusions of what was beauty, easily confused by narratives of how we should look, talk, act and be. Things were very hidden and we were deceived easily. The Entertainment industry is ruled by Neptune – and now we are seeing behind the veil of deception. That what was seen as creativity and imagination was not always just to entertain us, but to brainwash us AND to openly show us the plan to bypass the karma of their actions.
With Neptune ruling our imaginations and creativity, AND being the sacred, we now have the oportunity to use it differently.
- How can your creative ideas assist you in this?
- Can you see your creative inspiration and ideas as divine and place them in a sacred space to be held as important?
- That the manifestation of your creativity IS your divine power and purpose?
(Neptune is our imaginations and the Arts, so I keep seeing an image of a new kind of art and view of creativity that connects us to Spirit in a new way.) - Have you been inspired in a new way?
While this is only a snippet of the cards for 2026, I hope it will create an opportunity for you to use the energy of the year, along with your personal forecast cards. We have this tool to help us navigate whatever presents itself.
YOU are in control – not anything outside of you!
