2026 The Wheel of Fortune

The Power of 10/1: Endings and Beginnings

The number 10 symbolizes fulfillment and completion, while 1 is all about fresh starts and inspiration. In Tarot, 10’s can feel overwhelming as they mark the peak of a cycle, while 1’s carry the lightness and spark of something new.

This dual energy means you could be wrapping up one chapter while launching another. Think of it as harvesting the fruits of your labor, then clearing the field for a fresh

season. Unexpected twists of fate have a magical way of placing us where we need to be. Sometimes for reasons unknown in the beginning but with hindsight, we’re able to see its purpose in the end. You've got this,remember how amazing your are.

Integrate Your Wisdom

You have lived enough to trust your own experience, and it will serve you well in the year ahead. While your approach may need to evolve, the foundation of who you are remains steady. Change, after all, is life’s only constant. As cosmic dancers and lifelong travelers—each of us moving along our own stretch of highway—we learn to adapt as we go. We connect with our higher selves and read the signs of synchronicity along the way.

The Wheel is spinning and it's easy to get turned around or pulled backward into old cycles at times. Have no fear, life itself usually provides the guardrails, gently guiding us back on course. With healthy discipline, you can stay focused and firmly in the driver’s seat, navigating course corrections and brief detours with clarity and confidence.

Strengthen Your Center

Holding onto or reclaiming your personal power will be essential in 2026. Keep your solar plexus (your core energy center) balanced and strong. Think core exercises, releasing power struggles, and visualizing a radiant yellow light in your center. Go for optimal gut health to maximize your vitality and balance your energy levels. Having a strong belief in yourself, your abilities and your purpose will take you a long way this year. Keep moving forward and you'll see signs of success before long.

Affirmations like “I am grounded and powerful” can help keep your energy focused and clear. “I surrender to the flow of life” shows a willingness to move with the mystical.

Reinvent Yourself—But Keep it Simple

This year is about refining, restructuring, and simplifying. Maybe you'll find your niche, turn a

hobby into a career, or bring a fresh twist to your current path. Reinvention doesn’t mean starting from scratch—it’s about infusing your life with new energy and perspective.

The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that the universe is moving in our favor. Flow triumphs over force. When you align with what feels meaningful and true, momentum naturally carries you forward. Your manifestation goals are ripening and will come to fruition. Along the way, lessons are woven into the journey—inviting you to continue with courage, resilience, and steady faith.

Let Go to Lighten Up

2026 asks you to clear the clutter—not just in your home or inbox, but also in your mind and soul. Ask yourself 'What’s truly valuable? What’s just taking up space?' then act accordingly.

Letting go is key to reducing overwhelm and making room for growth. Whether it’s outdated beliefs, digital baggage, or worn-out routines, release what weighs you down. Liberate yourself through forgiveness. You’ve learned that banging your head against the proverbial wall isn’t effective strategy. You are ready to move forward.

Subtle Alchemical Changes

The Wheel of Fortune is a card of sacred motion, governed by hidden alchemical forces. At its center are the symbols of Salt, Water, Sulfur, and Mercury—the primordial elements that guide transformation. These forces remind us that change is not random, but cultivated through conscious engagement with both the material and spiritual realms. (The first of the Hermetic Principles is that All is Mind, the Universal Mind. You're mind is a powerful tool, that's connected to a powerful mechanism, use it well.)

Salt governs preservation and purification. Epsom salts, rich in magnesium, ease inflammation and assist in releasing stored anger and tension, while pure Dead Sea salts cleanse the aura and help the body and spirit detoxify grief and pain.

Water speaks to emotional flow and renewal. Staying properly hydrated restores vitality and supports the body’s natural cleansing cycles, helping you move through emotional and physical fatigue.

Sulphur represents the soul’s fire—the animating spark of will and purpose. Through spiritual practice and devotion, this flame is nourished and sustained. Even in times of

challenge, pursuing your soul’s calling keeps the warrior spirit alive, revealing the pure, innocent essence beneath struggle. Courage becomes the axis upon which the Wheel turns. With it, you are empowered to face your shadows and transmute them into strength.

Mercury, the alchemist and messenger, rules communication and integration. Speaking your needs with honesty and compassion allows energy to circulate freely, realigning you with the turning of the Wheel and opening pathways for synchronicity and growth.

Expanding Through Experience

Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, plays a strong role this year. It brings more of whatever you’re focused on—so focus wisely. Use grounding tools, stay disciplined, and don’t forget to make time for joy and rest. You’ll need balance to navigate the highs and lows.

This year also brings fated encounters—perhaps with people you’ve known in other lifetimes. These connections may challenge and support you in equal measure. Communication, respect, and honesty will guide you through.

Who Feels It Most?

If you're a fixed sign (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio), or have these signs strong in your chart, you may feel the Wheel turning more intensely. These signs are the ‘maintainers’ of the zodiac—so change can feel both necessary and disruptive.

Wherever these signs appear in your astrological chart, expect shifts in that area of life. It’s worth looking into your placements to understand how to best navigate the changes.

Important Time Frames

Aquarius - January 20th - February 18th

Neptune and Saturn will both be moving out of Pisces into Aries. Expect a much needed increase in your drive and energy as well as a push towards impulsivity. The key is small, steady steps towards your goals.

Taurus - April 20th - May 20th

Venus, the planet of love and abundance will support you in grounding creative ideas

into physical reality. Think birthing. Revisit your intentions to remind yourself of the origin goals and make subtle changes if needed.

Leo - July 23rd - August 22nd

Love your lion. Let yourself shine with openhearted abandon. Be the love you want to see in this world. Courage, respect and integrity will be rewarded.

Scorpio - October 23rd - November 21st

Pluto, the energy of transformation prepares for another deep dive in the sign of the scorpion, the snake and the eagle. You’ll have help transmuting shadow into light. Modesty, humility and humor help you surrender to the spiritual shift and lift you to higher levels of consciousness. Think Phoenix rising.

In Relationships the Wheel of Fortune represents new people coming into your life. Whether that's a new romantic relationship and/or new friendships you'll feel a strong pull towards them. The key is to get things started on the right foot. Going with the flow and at the right pace provides solid foundations with plenty of room for fun, projects and growth.

In Career the Wheel of Fortune represents a new job or role in the same field or company but at a different level. This entails a different approach that allows you to grow into more of who you are becoming, your best, next-level self. This is the begining of the next 9 year cycle so there's no need to rush but do bring in the necessary changes to liven up the energy.

In Finances the Wheel of Fortune represents ups and downs so resourcefulness, discipline and savings will keep you steady when you feel down. That being said this energy does indicate an influx of money either through a new venture, side hustle or a raise. Connection coupled with the highest good of all brings abundance on all levels.

Final Thoughts

The Wheel of Fortune spins whether we’re ready or not. The key is to ride it with awareness. When you're up, stay present. When you're down, rest, reflect, and innovate.

2026 is a year of transition and transformation—one that could lead you toward a completely new way of living. Trust the process, stay aligned with your truth, and remember: the universe is meeting you halfway.

Best,

Rebecca
