We are in the year of 2026.
In numerology, 2026 adds up to 10 — the Wheel of Fortune in tarot. Add 1 + 0 and you get 1, which corresponds to the Sun and the Magician.
These are powerful forces shaping this year. Combine that with the fiery energy of the Horse, and this is a potent time to make things happen.
If you’re completely clueless about tarot — don’t worry. I’m going to break this down into very simple, practical energies for the year and how you can design your life to make the most of it.
#1 Life is chaotic. We need small containers of stability.
Life is seasonal. It moves in cycles — up and down, round and round — like a wheel. That’s what the Wheel of Fortune teaches us.
Success and failure take turns showing up. The ups are temporary. So are the downs.
So how will you deal with them when they arrive?
How will you stay grounded in the present when the past and future feel heavy?
This year asks us to relook at how we’re moving through life.
Are we on autopilot? Or are we conscious about where we’re heading — and who we’re becoming?
The world is increasingly chaotic. An unstable economy. AI reshaping jobs. Ongoing wars. Collective stress at levels we haven’t seen in decades.
It’s easy to hide. To numb out. To scroll.
But this is the moment to ask:
- How can we care for ourselves better?
- How can we care for our communities better?
- How can we do our small part in stabilising the world around us?
And within all of that — how do we protect our minds, our bodies, our souls?
This is exactly why I’m writing a book on staying sane and well in an insane world. It’s dropping this summer. Keep an eye out.
I’ll also be running workshops on designing different areas of your life this year — you can share what you’d like to see in the short survey here.
#2 Let your personality shine. Retire the old you.
When a familiar situation bubbles up — along with old triggers and emotions flooding your system — pause.
Stop. Breathe.
This is a new year. A clean energetic slate.
Do you still want to react the way 2025-you did?
Or 2010-you?
Life is long and short at the same time. It is unpredictable. So how can you live a bigger life?
How can you step into the version of you that you’ve been quietly dreaming of?
How can you design a life that actually feels like yours?
#3 Be unapologetically you. And yes — be vulnerable.
Authenticity is a buzzword right now.
I’m not against it — but I’m not sure we’re seeing more honesty because of it. Sometimes it feels like people are just performing “authenticity” without actually being raw.
True authenticity walks hand in hand with vulnerability.
It means being honest about what you struggle with.
Owning your shadow.
Naming your fears.
When you can sit with those parts — without flinching — you begin to free yourself from them.
I intend to be more vulnerable this year — with you and with myself. Expect more raw sharings on what I’ve overcome and what I’m still navigating.
#4 Manifest freely. You are allowed to.
So many dreams begin like this:
“I want a million dollars, but…”
“I want to fall in love, but…”
“I want a better job, but…”
If you were paid a dollar for every “but,” you might actually hit that million.
But jokes aside.
You do not need permission to dream.
Most of those “buts” were installed over years — from media, family, school, society — quietly teaching you what’s realistic, what’s acceptable, what’s “too much.”
Think about the inventions around you. The businesses. The art. The movements.
They began as someone’s unreasonable dream.
Those people were laughed at. They failed. Repeatedly.
If they had listened to every critic, would those things exist?
So ask yourself:
Do you want to embody the energy that silences itself —
or the energy that dares to live its dream?
#5 Manifesting requires discipline. Are you ready?
There’s a fantasy floating around that manifestation means wishing upon a star and waiting.
I’m going to be honest — that version of spirituality leans into delusion.
Remember the Wheel of Fortune? It warns against rose-tinted glasses. Against things that sound too easy.
If manifestation were effortless, wouldn’t everyone be wildly successful?
In my own experiments with manifesting — you have to put in the work.
You show up.
You plan.
You schedule.
You do the uncomfortable things.
You fail.
You pivot.
You try again.
It tests your faith. It tests your discipline.
And here’s what I’ve observed:
When you consistently show up, life responds.
“You create your own luck” isn’t just a cute phrase.
The more you move, the more doors appear.
The more you act, the more momentum builds.
Manifestation is not passive.
It is co-creation.
If you could upgrade ONE area of your life this year, what would it be?
Career?
Health?
Relationships?
Money?
Identity?
