The Nine of Wands suggests that 2025 may have felt like the Year of Frustration—you worked so hard for so long without much to show for it. Yes, it was darn exhausting. Yes, it was tempting to just chuck it all. Good news: the presence of this card suggests the worst is in the past. As you enter 2026, take a break to nurse your wounds before continuing on. Success is closer than you think.
This year, be open to the generous opportunities symbolized by the King of Pentacle. His stoic presence represents the comforts of prosperity: real estate, money, even the warmth of family ties. Unable to manifest as you would like? Seek advice from someone who's a force in their field. The universe can be a bountiful place—we're not meant to struggle forever in scarcity.
As much as you may want to move forward on manifesting your goals, the Six of Pentacles reminds you that you don't exist in a vacuum. Your challenge in 2026: find a way to share your goodness with the world. Whether this means donating resources to your favorite non-profit, or offering your talents to others, it's all the same: the cycle of life demands we give just as we've received.
In the tarot, the Nine of Cups is traditionally called the "wish card." To help you manifest your best 2026, take time to make a list of all you wish for. Whether it's for love, prosperity, or world peace, keep your heart open for unexpected experiences of grace from the universe. When they occur, be grateful and share the joy.
