Welcome to 2026, everyone. The Cardslingers went live on YouTube to discuss the state of the world, how to cope with the horrors (especially in the US), and discussing the card of the Year which is The Wheel of Fortune. Watch out for the change coming (both good and bad); learn to distinguish how events, energy, and situations have power over you.

To add another layer into The Wheel we can reduce down to the number 1, which is The Magician. So, not only do you get to look at the cycles and changes going on, you also have access to the willpower, tools, and talent to change your karma.

Homework: Examine the Wheel of Fortune and see how it may affect you, your community, and the world in general.
