100: Gaining Light 2026 - Astrology + Tarot (Jan - Jun)

1 hour 50 minutes

Astrology and Tarot from two grounded Earth signs! We’re here to show you the energies so you can embrace them in your own way.

The first half of 2026 shifts from 2025's stagnant waiting energy into decisive action and transformation. January through March build momentum as Neptune and Saturn move into Aries, clearing the fog and demanding that first brave step forward. February is the most pivotal month, with Saturn meeting Neptune at zero degrees Aries on the 20th, a rare cosmic reset at the origin point of the zodiac. This is preceded by a powerful solar eclipse in Aquarius on the 17th that squares Uranus, ushering in this new era! March brings a lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 3rd, clearing old patterns from the Virgo-Pisces eclipse series. The tarot journey moves from the Two of Wands (planning) through the Eight of Wands (rapid movement) to The Magician (you have everything you need), requiring emotional intelligence to stay grounded amid collective upheaval.

April and May accelerate as seven planets gather in Aries, creating unprecedented energy that demands singular focus and inner trust. The Magician and Chariot cards signal there's no turning back - this is the moment to manifest quickly and discover you're not alone as parallel paths converge. While personal manifestations flourish, the collective experiences intense tension and dissolution of old systems around leadership and power. By June, the Nine of Wands acknowledges fatigue but emphasizes pacing over stopping. You're closer than you think! Jupiter's move into Leo promises that creativity, play, and human connection will carry us through, reminding us that our individual dreams create the new world we're moving toward together.
