Tarot and Artcast for March 1-7, 2026

Sybil Andrews

The artist this week is Sybil Andrews.  Andrews was not only an artist, printmaker, painter, teacher but also a welder in both World Wars and a boat builder later in life.  She is best known for her modernist linocuts.

Solar System highlights for the next two weeks

We have a lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd. For those of you that have a sun or moon in Virgo it would be good to lay low around that time if you can.  For those with nodes in Virgo or Pisces look for informational downloads around your future and letting go of what no longer works for you.

We are also still in our first retrograde of 2026 until March 20th with Mercury in Pisces and which will go direct in Pisces until April 14th.  This lesson/exploration is around communicating our fantasies and dreams, non-linear thinking and a heightening of our Spidey sense.   The challenge is staying grounded when collecting information and giving it out.  Miscommunication is at its height during this time, so double check the “facts”.

 

 

EXTRA

*If you want a more in-depth look into the planets and how they affect you, you can get those with my yearly Astro reading or if you sign up for my monthly New Moon readings.  Pisces this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.  And Virgo it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in, now is the time.

**** I have a tip jar if you want to leave a gratuity for the tarot & art-casts.

May light be on you, around you, and within you.

Aries

The Champion- Six of Specters – The next two weeks are full of wins for you. The challenge is while getting there the path maybe convoluted, not aligned with your expectations or you may need to forfeit something for the win.  So, ask yourself, does winning the battle guarantee winning the war?

 

Taurus

Bread of Life -Ace of Orbs – In the next two weeks the muses would like you to initiate the ingredients for your “Bread of Life” into your daily schedule.  It is about seeding what will allow and grow abundance in the areas of material assets, your physical domain and your body. List the components, gather your ingredients and then start the process of kneading them into your recipe for living abundantly.

Stronghold of Flame – Page of Specters – For the coming weeks you will be receiving messages to ignite and awaken your creativity.  Pay attention to and cultivate anything that sparks your imagination. By doing so you will gain information that will help guide you towards evolution and innovation.

 

Cancerian

Chariot – This energy encompasses free will and the insight to carry on.  An exercise to comprehend its message is to imagine yourself stepping into your chariot of choice and them letting your soul drive you to interesting vistas that are full of information.  These sites and sounds will lead you to be more joyful and satisfied by your summer birthday.  Your motto:  Keep on truckin.

 

Leo 
Sybil Andrews

Journeyman – Eight of Orbs – This next two weeks’ energy is best spent focusing on your work.  This is the energy of the grind.  However, to accomplish this you will need to utilize your supper powers and tweak them if necessary.  The muses also suggest writing down all that you do either before the day starts or after, so you can honestly justify why you are so tired.  This exercise will also give you the dopamine rush of checking off even the simplest of chores.

 

Virgo 
Sybil Andrews

Shining Quarry – Knight of Orbs – Petition the muses in the coming two weeks to help stabilize your foundations and increase access to the resources you need for material success in whatever endeavor you set your sights on.  Your work is to listen for clues on which direction/choices you need to make to continue at a slow and steady pace towards success.  In this race the turtle does win over the rabbit.

 

Libra  
Sybil Andrews

Sacred Cinnabar – Ace of Swords – In the coming two weeks look for new paths of knowledge and ways of thought.  The muses are asking you to expand your mind so you have the information you need to seed to enhance your spirit as well as your goals.  This can be as simple as reading from a new genre or as complex as taking a philosophy class or listening to your opposition for understanding.  By opening your mind, you find new solutions to answers that have stopped you in the past.

 

Scorpio
Sybil Andrews

Wheel of Life – The world is changing and so must you so you can stay in sync with what is evolving.  These weeks’ energies are best utilized by dancing with the flux and flow instead of pushing against it.  You can still hold on to your truth but how you go about it needs changing.

 

Sagittarius
Sybil Andrews

Holy Water – Ace of Chalices – The muses for the coming two weeks would like you to dive into what nurtures, feeds and saves your soul.  Whether that is emotional connection to nature, your pets, your human companions or your spiritual depth, you need to take time to connect deeper into those heart relationships.  By doing so you quench your thirst and restore your vitality.

 

Capricorn
Sybil Andrews

Eminence – Nine of Orbs – For the coming weeks the energy is around working on and with what uniquely defines you.  Looking back, what has made you successful?  What are your superpowers?  What do you enjoy doing?  Where do you want to excel next?  By being clear on these answers your foundation becomes stabler so you can empower your momentum forward.

 

Aquarius 

Malaise – Nine of Scepters – The muses would like you to defend against the states of debilitation, despair and pessimism.  This is not a call to wear rose colored glass and declare all is well, but a call to action against melancholy in any joyous form you can.  That can be dancing or singing to your favorite tunes, sporting blow-up costumes or snowball fights in the park.

 

Pisces
Sybil Andrews

Dynasty – Ten of Orbs – For the coming weeks of your new birth year the muses are asking you to check off items on your to-do list.  Now is the time to finish up what projects you can do, so you can create space for what is coming in your new birth year.

Tarot and Artcast for February 15-28, 2026

Lin Tianmiao
Bicycle, Lin Tianmiao

The artist this week is Lin Tianmiao.  Lin is best known for her installations using her technique of “thread winding”, completely wrapping thread, hair, felt or silk around everyday objects.  Her work often symbolizes the labor behind what is called women’s work.  How that work can silently bind a gender culturally.

Solar System highlights for the next two weeks

We have our first solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17th. For those of you that have a sun or moon in Aquarius it would be good to lay low around that time if you can.  For those with nodes in Aquarius or Leo look for informational downloads around your future and letting go of what no longer works for you.

We also have our first retrograde of 2026 from February 26th to March 20th with Mercury in Pisces until April 14th.  This lesson/exploration is around communicating our fantasies and dreams, non-linear thinking and a heightening of our Spidey sense.   The challenge is staying grounded when collecting information and giving it out.  Miscommunication is at its height during this time, so double check the “facts”.

Remember Saturn is back in Aries until April 2028.  Use this fiery energy to construct the systems you want to create and grow in.  The challenge is wanting change to happen faster then it can.  True change takes time and thoughtfulness.

Earth Snake – Gratitude leads to abundance this new year. This pillar brings messages to be bold and genuine with your heart.  This snake advises you for this year to search deeply for hidden treasure beneath the surface.  And to begin to activate more joy by bringing it into your environment for example:  the colors that invigorate you.

 

Taurus

Fire Tiger – Share your gifts this year.  Your creative force is emerging stronger than ever and now is the time to channel it into your larger community. Keep doing what stokes your internal fire, this will help cultivate not only your creative energy but also your inner joy which you can share.

Earth Rabbit – Be in harmony with the season you are in during this coming year.  Slow down and tune into the pace of nature.  This energy is asking you to be resourceful and work with what is available at each moment.  You have what you need to begin any project, even if that means you need to simplify to get started.

 

Cancerian
Lin Tianmiao
Lin Tianmiao

Fire Snake – For this new year allow your heart to take center stage and follow its lead.  Do more activities that expand you than contract you.  Use these expanded joyful moments to push through fear or stagnation.  This is a time for joy and light.  Not only do you need it but so does the world.

 

Leo 

Earth Sheep – Take this year to return to your center.  To return to your body and treat it like it is your sanctuary.  Tune in to what your body needs:  rest, food, hugs…  And then take this year to cultivate and mindfully engage in these acts of restoration.

 

Virgo 
Lin Tianmiao

Metal Tiger – The tiger suggests it is okay to step back and take a break this year.  Take this time to notice what attachments and expectations you are holding on to.  Where are you judging yourself too punitively?   It is a year of releasing what holds you back, so you can leap into action when the time is right.

 

Libra  

Metal Snake – This energy is asking you to embrace transformation. Part of that process is seeing yourself as the precious jewel that you are.  Take this year to let go of any fear of the “new” for you will be pleasantly surprised of what emerges after your shedding.  Allow your inner light to shine through your bejeweled facets instead of waiting for an exterior light to bounce off them.

 

 

Scorpio
Lin Tianmiao

Water Pig – This year engage in the universal flow.  You naturally move through changes with ease as soon as you get past your internal barriers.  Look into the waters of your dream future, ask your reflection “what is holding me back from jumping in.”  It is time to release these watery illusions and trust your instincts so the universal flow can carry you forward.   Go for a swim, water pig.

 

Sagittarius
Lin Tianmiao

Fire Rabbit – Welcome the Muse is your motto for the new year.  The creative muses would like to work with you, but you will need to take pause and listen for them.  These flashes of inspiration come during acts of joy as much as quiet contemplation.  Joy begets more joy and beauty more beauty.  So, the more you seek through these means the more creative communication can happen.

 

Capricorn
Lin Tianmiao

Water Ox – You are more powerful then you think or let on.  However, this year neither aggressive nor forceful strength will solely aid you.  The Water Ox recommends relaxing into your strong core by expressing your power by mindfully and slowly moving, for example: weightlifting, yoga or walking mediation.  And then once you have connected to your inner power create a shrine to it externally. This can be a rock, picture or a color that calms and slows you.  Something to remind you of the powerful Yin energy strength that you are cloaked in that balances this Fire Horse year.

 

Aquarius 

Water Horse – This new year provides you with paths to more freedom.  And these paths are paved with a loving embrace.  Love over hate.  Love over fear.  The water horse is impelling you to let go of your fears or burdens, so you can gain momentum and joy like a horse running on a beach.

 

Pisces
Lin Tianmiao

Fire Monkey – This year asks you to commit to the decisions you have made and to be clearer about the ones you are making.  Realize when choosing that neither path is wrong.   But on one path you feel more liberated and the other asks you to give it your all assuring more rewards.  To make that decision you must rely on your heart and not your head.  Release your attachments of the past and welcome the future.
