A Collective 13-Card New Year Forecast: Listening to the Rhythm of the 2026

Every year, I pull a 13-card spread to help me navigate what’s ahead. Not to predict the future, but to understand how to move with it. Some months ask us to rest. Others ask us to leap.

This card pull is kind of like a little roadmap for the year. It’s a tool we can use to support ourselves, to notice when we might need more rest, more self-care, or more support, and to recognize the months where our energy can expand into new projects, adventures, or creative pursuits.

Over the years, when I’ve pulled this spread for myself and others, it’s always been spot on. That’s why I love bringing it into my Soulful Year Review workshop each year. It’s a chance to reflect, to tune in, and to get a sense of the energies that might show up before the year really unfolds.

Even though we’re already halfway through January, this year I felt a strong call to pull a Collective Spread. I used the Healing Waters Deck by Rebecca Campbell, one of my absolute favorites especially if you know me and my love for water magic.

So, let’s take a look at what the cards are saying for us this year…

---

January

Card: The Wellspring

What are you thirsty for? Body care. Take a breath.

This month has really been calling many of us to slow down. If one area in your life feels expansive, take a look at the other places. Are you sacrificing yourself in other areas? Is what you’re doing sustainable?

Take a step back and connect to your body. Give it the self-care it deserves. Many of our bodies are going through upgrades right now, sometimes showing up as flu-like symptoms. Take time to take care of you this month. Say no when you need to, and witness what your body wants to say to you.

If you’re feeling called to deepen this connection, you can explore my free ebook Unlock the Wisdom Within as a supportive starting point.

February

Card: Into the Unknown

Underworld. Depth. Courage. Facing your fears.

This month is calling us to go inward or to start taking action. Some of us are going to be in a position where we really need to connect with ourselves on an even deeper level than ever before.

Our wombs are really calling for assistance to clear old stories and beliefs. There is a call for a rebirth within ourselves.

Near the end of the month, there feels like a need to take action toward our dreams. Dive into the deep end.

Trust in your abilities, your wisdom, and your knowledge to start creating what you have envisioned in your mind.

March

Card: Beneath the Surface

What’s really driving you? True motives. Breaking free.

There still feels like some recalibrating happening in the system. This month is about really understanding what is moving us forward. What is our mission? What are we moving toward? Are we still working from old programming?

This is a call to look at what is motivating us and whether it is sustainable. Notice what is popping up in the body as resistance. What still needs to shift slightly so we can ensure we are doing this for the right reasons?

Ask yourself: is this vision truly mine? Can I feel it in my bones? Maybe it’s a tingling sensation, maybe the hair on your body stands on end, maybe your heart feels warm. Where are you being called to go?

April

Card: Cosmic Ocean

Current dreams. Future realities. New beginnings.

This month feels like a big shift for us all. There is a deepening into ourselves and a collective shift happening at the same time. New opportunities feel like they are arising, especially things you have been longing for.

Start to really plan those big vision dreams. Tend to them gently. Don’t dig them up too soon without allowing them to be nourished first.

So often we give up before we’ve even given ourselves time to see if something will work. Let your dreams be held, loved, and given space to grow.

May

Card: The Healing Lagoon

Rejuvenate. Recovery. Time to heal. It's safe to stop.

This year feels like a beautiful back-and-forth tug of war. Not in a bad way, but as a call to witness what is sustainable for us. How do we keep ourselves in balance? Where are we spreading ourselves too thin? Where are we forcing?

There is a call to surrender into the flow and trust that you are being supported. When things feel off or don’t go as planned, this is life asking you to pause. See things from a neutral perspective. Notice all the possibilities before moving forward again. You don’t need to push. This is a time to connect deeply with yourself and view things from a new point of view.

June

Card: Immerse Yourself

Training. Learning. New hobbies. Passions.

This month feels playful. A time to be curious. Maybe it’s trying something new, or maybe it’s deepening into something you already know but from a place of curiosity.

How can you expand your wisdom and knowledge even more? How can you embody the work you do at a deeper level?

You may feel called to explore new offerings, new training, or connect more deeply with your spirit guides, ancestral lineage, past lives, or galactic star family. Let yourself play with life this month.

July

Card: Stagnant Waters

Feeling stuck. A call for shifts, flow, and change.

This month invites us to witness where things feel out of alignment. There is a call to let some things go... a job, a relationship, or even a part of yourself that is holding on tightly.

It’s okay to change. It’s okay to do things differently. You may feel the desire to shift your routines, because the next version of you needs different support.

Where are you being called to shake things up? Even small changes can bring clarity and movement.

August

Card: The Mist

Trust your inner compass. Be led from within.

If you haven’t been taking time to connect with yourself and listen to your internal cues, this month may push you to do so. Things may feel a little cloudy, yet deep down you already know what you want.

There may be bigger decisions coming in. Ask yourself, “Is this for my highest and greatest good?” Witness how your body responds. Notice where there is resistance or where something is calling for your attention. This is not a time to force. It’s a time to listen.

September

Card: The Water Carrier

What really matters. Reflect. Reprioritize.

This month feels like another shift, another call to step back and witness what is going on in your life. Is what you are creating sustainable?

There is a “don’t run before you walk” energy here. Avoid comparing your journey to others, as that can pull you out of alignment. You may feel called to step away from social media for a bit.

Reflect on what is working and what still needs refinement. Where does your energy truly need to go right now?

October

Card: Clear Waters

Clear vision. Confirmation. Right timing. Opportunity.

This month feels expansive. Things are falling into place. The seeds you planted earlier in the year are starting to bloom.

Don’t fight for what you don’t want. Trust the clarity you have. Don’t doubt your visions, your wisdom, or your strength. You are worthy of this. Allow yourself to be seen.

Follow the intuitive hits and take the next aligned step. Follow the breadcrumbs.

November

Card: Water Codes

Ancient wisdom. The intelligence is within you.

This month feels like a time to really share your wisdom. Don’t hold back. You know why you are here and what you are meant to share.

This is the month to go all in. Share. Teach. Launch the program. And also remain open to learning from nature, from others, from life itself. You hold the answers, and it’s time to let that wisdom flow outward.

December

Card: Follow the Stream

Dedication. Trust. Future rivers and oceans.

This energy flows over from November, but with more ease. You know your direction. You know what you are meant to do.

There is less reaction and more responsiveness. You are tuned into your inner compass and facing your true north. There is nothing blocking your path. Move forward with love and trust.

Theme for the Year

Card: Thank You

Gratitude. Appreciating what’s sustaining you.

This year is a year to be grateful especially to yourself. Instead of resisting discomfort, witness where resistance is coming from and why it’s showing up. Those parts of you want to be seen and acknowledged.

Be grateful for all parts of yourself. Be fully you. Connect with your inner child, your ancestors, your guides, and your support team. They are here to help you navigate these waters. This is your time to shine, if you take the time to truly know yourself.

You don’t have to read this all at once. You may feel called back to certain months as the year unfolds. Let this be a companion rather than a roadmap, something you return to when you need clarity, reassurance, or a moment to reconnect with yourself.

If nothing else, let this year be about coming back into your body. Let it guide you when the mind feels loud or unclear. Your body holds more wisdom than you realize, and it will continue to show you the way if you’re willing to listen.
