Are you curious about what 2026 holds in store for you? Ultimately, our beliefs and intentions shape much of what we will experience, but I also like the added magic of the universal energy we co-create.
Some people use astrology to look at themes and predictions for the upcoming years. I have my own methods that involve meditation and tarot cards. I write my notes in a calendar and a blog to reference them each month. The predictions of the future are written far enough in advance to offer an interesting perspective on what is going on in our collective and personal worlds. Keep reading and discover what each month is offering our collective and how it might influence your personal world.
Theme of the Year
This year, there is a prevalence of energy that has us seeking a sense of safety and grounding, so we don’t lose our footing. There is an emphasis on finances and health. This isn’t a surprise, as our 2025 year ended with health care and the economy being at the forefront of the news. I see these tangled up and unresolved, almost until the fall of 2026. It might take that long for people to begin to feel confident in our health care system. It is also a call to be intentional about your financial and wellness decisions. There is energy to make changes in both of these. Your positive thoughts and intentions can have a great impact in these areas.
We are also building new foundations, refurbishing crumbling ones, and discovering new ways to move through old barriers and foundations. If we look at the foundations of government structures, in the US, it is still a free-for-all in each party taking advantage of a system that is feeling the weight of continuous conflict. I do see the political parties coming to a truce on a pile of rubble. Hopefully, partnerships and alliances will be formed that are for the greater good.
We do have the collective energy to see progress in partnerships, both personally and collectively. We are supported when we work together and when we move through difficulties. I love that each of us can tap into confidence and contentment this year.
There is a lot of energy around communication, and logic is emphasized more than emotional communication. I encourage you to be very intentional with your communication and practice your big conversations before they take place. This can shift the energy into what you are seeking. Avoid stressful situations by double-checking emails and other forms of communication.
We are also encouraged to honor our instinctive self, the part of us that has been with us since childhood. It is a great time to trust your first instinct. We also have the ability to allow our curiosity and inspiration to expand. This is great for manifestation and living your highest potential.
One skill to master this year is learning to trust your instincts and communicate from the awareness of your truest self. This requires us to be truthful with what we need and how we feel. It doesn’t mean we are necessarily blurting it out or sharing it with the world, but it does mean allowing our instincts to guide our choices and being selective about who we share our intentions with.
Mantra: The Universe supports me as I move through life, including any challenges that arise.
January
There is emphasis on our past choices and reflection on our life experiences. We also have support in keeping our commitments and meeting our goals this month. It is a great time to pause and look at the trajectory of your life. Are you making choices that support the highest expression of yourself?
January’s skill of mastery will be gaining insight from our past, letting go of the frustration, and acknowledging the gains. Do you like the impact from your past and how it influences the direction of your life?
Mantra: I trust the process of my personal spiritual evolution
February
This month, there is a call to have faith and trust in the highest good. This may require trusting someone or something again. It might simply be asking you to trust yourself again. Legal documents and agreements are highlighted this month.
We have the energy of success and the call to seek peace and calm. I love that we can easily experience success and then take a breather and recover in the calm.
February will help us master the skill of connecting with the energy of peace and calm. We will have opportunities to find balance and calm in unexpected ways.
Mantra: I attract Peace and calm into my life
March
This month holds some powerful energy that can help us break patterns that bring in new circumstances and awareness of different possibilities and opportunities. We will courageously face challenges and let go of things we have been holding onto.
I love the opportunity to explore and create new experiences that are uplifting and bring in all sorts of exciting energy.
March offers us opportunities to tap into courage as we make choices that break long-established life patterns.
Mantra: I welcome new, loving, and adventurous opportunities into my life.
April
This month offers hope in resolving complicated issues. I love this month for sharing and receiving both kindness and comfort. It is also perfect for trusting your intuitive skills.
There will be a call to compromise on a situation and a promise of new opportunities to explore.
April offers us lessons of compromise and settling into the feelings that arise with allowing things to settle before taking action.
Mantra: I welcome comfort and kindness into my life
May
This month has a really fun mix of bravery, joy, success, and blessings. All of this fun, fast-paced energy will put us in line with some challenges that call for observations and brainstorming. I think this month is fun, because even though we face challenges, we have the energy to overcome them.
On a side note, pay attention to words in all forms of communication.
May offers us the opportunity to be very intentional with our communication. We will gain clarity in the power of our words, written and otherwise.
Mantra: I communicate well and welcome joy and success into my world.
June
This month, you are asked to trust your Intuition. Don’t be put off by delays; the outcome can still be favorable. We will also have some opportunities to discover what we want, because we are experiencing some of what we don’t want. This is a powerful opportunity for change.
Get ready for some lucky days, a sense of stability, and comfort in established rules.
June offers us the ability to gain insight into what we resonate with. You will have plenty of choices to decide what matches you and what doesn’t.
Mantra: I trust my intuition and have clarity on what resonates with me.
July
This month offers some really fun days with a couple of dips into the unknown. Most of us will experience some type of breakthrough, positive news, and good luck. We live in a very fast-paced environment that makes us feel we need to make quick choices. It’s ok to take a deep breath and let things settle before you say yes.
This is a great month to appreciate your physical self (maybe this is where the breakthroughs are happening). Take time to nurture yourself and notice how things are tipping in your direction.
July is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate what brings you joy and gratitude. Notice all the things working for you.
Mantra: I love my physical body and am grateful for the good luck in my life.
August
This month, there is a focus on commitment, maybe even a fear of committing to a certain life path. There is a call to ensure you treat others well. You will experience feelings of victory (even in partnerships) and balance overall.
August is a great month to discover how to navigate life through fearful thoughts. How can you focus on what’s lovely in your life and the direction you’re taking? What is bringing up your fearful thoughts, and how can you begin to let that go?
Mantra: I love discovering what feels good to me and welcome it in my life.
September
This month offers opportunities to make clear choices. It feels like this isn’t the first time we have had to make this choice. Maybe this time we will choose what is aligned with our highest self.
We will also need to balance the feeling of uncertainty as we muster up our trust and courage and let go, maybe choosing the unknown. We will experience deep passionate feelings, victory, and satisfaction this month (good feelings for sure).
It is another month to watch our communication in all forms. Sharing words of gratitude is always a blessing for the world.
September offers us the opportunity to feel satisfied and easily let go of needing to control outcomes.
Mantra: It is safe for me to let go and trust that I have beautiful choices in my world.
October
This is another fast-paced month, but it also includes stretches of days that seem to move very slowly. We are encouraged to take thoughtful action and pursue the changes we want to see in our lives. Teamwork is highlighted, allow others into your circle, and have fun creating change together. It is possible to have great triumph when there is less control and more balance in relationships, work, and otherwise.
Education and skill development are supported, as are creative projects. Prioritize comfort, gratitude, and self-love in your life; these might be found in your home.
October offers us the opportunity to learn about ourselves and even love ourselves, as we navigate group efforts. There will be some wins for sure when we step back and trust others.
Mantra: I easily let go of what isn’t for my highest good and am grateful for all the love and ease in my life.
November
This month is calling for us to focus on calm and peace. We have a great opportunity to gain clarity on what we want to experience in our lives. There will be an emphasis on the choices to be made regarding money and locations. This could be in our professional and personal lives.
We will see people and opportunities return to our lives, offering a second chance and forgiveness. Allow the promise of peace and calm to guide your decisions.
November offers us the opportunity to thrive when we make choices that require self-discipline.
Mantra: I attract peace and calm into my world.
December
This month has a sharp edge to it. The way to avoid disappointment is to recognize that we might need to change to get the results we want. There is great potential for healing as we lessen our expectations of the world and ourselves.
Some might find inspiration is slow to find its way to you. Take a break and just focus on fun for a bit. This is when the world opens up, and it becomes easier to see our accomplishments and even find that we are harmonizing with the world and others. Taking a break from your day-to-day life will pay off huge:)
December offers us the opportunity to recognize that patience and waiting for things to settle before we take action can bring peace to our world.
Mantra: I am choosing peace and balance over madness and chaos
In closing, I wish us all peace, love, and adventures that open up our hearts to an amazing world of love and light.
