In this Year Ahead episode, Lindsay Mack and Jeff Hinshaw explore 2026 as a powerful turning point after several liminal years. They reflect on 2025 as deeply Piscean, shaped by Neptune’s long journey through Pisces since 2011 and marked by the year of the Hermit and themes of grief, waiting, and dissolution. In contrast, 2026 emerges as a universal 1 year, aligned with the Magician, Wheel of Fortune, and Sun in the Tarot, signaling initiation, clarity, momentum, and a return to spiritual authority.

Astrologically, the conversation centers on a major generational shift as both Neptune and Saturn leave Pisces and enter Aries, ushering in a fire-driven era focused on action, identity, and leadership. A pivotal week in February sets the tone, with Saturn entering Aries, an Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse aligned with the Chinese New Year, Year of the Fire Horse, and the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. Lindsay and Jeff frame this as the birth of a new cycle around imaginative leadership and embodied spiritual presence. Jupiter’s move into Leo later in the year further amplifies themes of creativity, joy, and heart-led visibility.

Through looking at Tarot themes, the hosts contrast 2025’s archetypes of patience and preparation (the Hermit and Knight of Pentacles) with 2026’s initiators: the Knight of Wands, Magician, Wheel, and Sun. Drawing on personal reflections from a previous Magician/Sun year in 2017, they explore how these cycles often launch projects and identities that shape an entire nine-year arc. The episode weaves in the importance of working with grief—rather than bypassing it—by transforming it into tools, talismans, and creative practices.

Ultimately, this episode positions 2026 as a year of reclaiming agency and consciously redefining relationships to spirit, community, and collaboration. With the reminder to “allow your mind to be the wand,” listeners are invited to stay discerning, clear unhelpful patterns, and choose collaborations that honor mutual sovereignty and growth. Rather than waiting for permission, 2026 is offered as a true “choose your own adventure” year, one that asks: what is your tool, what is your name, and who are you ready to become?

0:00.0	Welcome to Tarot for the Wild Soul, a podcast that explores the tarot through an inclusive, soul-centered, trauma-informed perspective for growth, healing, and evolution.
0:17.7	I'm your host, Lindsay Mack. Hello, hello, hello, sweet friends. Wow, this was such a
0:23.3	gift and a treat. I'm so grateful to be here with you in these, like, wildly liminal days
0:30.9	between Christmas and New Year's. I never know what day it is.
0:38.0	I never know what's going on in these days.
0:40.7	It's very strange.
0:44.0	And I think with it being the hermit,
0:47.8	like moving from a hermit year to a one 10 year,
0:52.4	magician wheel of fortune year,
0:54.1	it feels even more wildly liminal,
0:57.1	even though I can feel aspects of the New Year seeping in. It's very strange, but
1:01.0	this episode is a little gift, I think a big gift, really breaking down the main major kind of astrological,
1:15.6	tarot energetic frequencies that you can expect in 2006 and what Jeff and I are really leaning into, looking at exploring and opening to in the year
1:34.0	ahead, how it lands with us, how it feels to us.
1:37.7	And it doesn't go into a tremendous amount of detail about all of these things, but I think
1:43.8	it gives folks,
1:45.1	such as yourself who are listening to this, exactly what you need, to get a real sense of
1:50.2	the difference between the year that we've been in the years that we've been in and what we're
1:55.4	going into. So I'm very excited to share this conversation with you. Before I do that, or rather in the
2:02.9	remaining seconds we have before I do, if you want a huge and rich deep dive on the taro medicine
2:13.0	and the energetic channeled medicine that's guiding us into 2026 and holding us as we
2:19.7	experience the year. I'd love to invite you to consider my offering called The Threshold,
