Tarot and Artcast for Jan 4-18, 2026 ⋆ the fox and the tarot

Hi All,

Happy 2026. Every new year I pick a word to be my lens. To be a guide and interpreter for my focus. So, to start this year’s tarotcast, I pulled a card for you from various Oracle decks and present you with that word. You can use it or let it be a jumping point to discover your lens for 2026. Also I am highlighting one of my favorite artist Jenny Holzer.

“Holzer has presented her astringent ideas, arguments, and sorrows in public places and international exhibitions…. Her medium, whether a T-shirt, plaque, or LED sign, is writing, and the public dimension is integral to her work. Starting in the 1970s with her New York City street posters and continuing through her light projections on landscape and architecture, her practice has rivaled ignorance and violence with humor and kindness.”

Solar System highlights for the year (if you are wanting this part as a guide keep this cast- see Extra below for why)

We start the year with the inner planets, Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all doing their thing in Capricorn. So, the beginning of the year feels very solid and steady for us personally. A time to plan and get your ducks in a row.

Then the ride begins. The inner planets start to go their separate ways and the outer planets shift to a new paradigm that we haven’t seen in generations.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, is in Cancer until June 2026. This placement is exalted, because Cancer boosts Jupiter’s positive aspects and vice versa. Jupiter creates more ease in our emotional growth, intuition, feeling nurtured as well as giving it. However, the two-fold challenge is that growth needs time to cultivate and may bring growing pains. So be kind and patient with others and yourself as we grow into our abundance. Then it moves into Leo until June of 2027 where it focuses its abundance on how we shine. And the challenge being not to over shadow the ones around you.

Saturn is in Pisces until February 13, 2026. So, we are back to our structures having trouble being…well… structured. And I am sending out extra feel-good vibes for you all with a Saturn in Aries or Pisces and are dealing with this erratic Saturn return. Then it moves back into Aries until 2028 where it wants us to focus on shifting and recreating our structures and system to usher in a new era.

Neptune is in Pisces until January 26, its home sign. Great for imagining and dreaming, but often unrealistic on the ground. Then it moves into Aries until March 2039 where now we can work materializing what we have imagined for the past few years.

Uranus is in Taurus until April 25 so the revolution is on hold or at least very sluggish. Then it moves into Gemini until August of 2032. This is a time for radical innovation especially around belief systems, communication, and travel.

Pluto is in Aquarius until March 2043. Wherever Pluto sits in your chart a great time to slowly build and find more confidence to reimagine that part of your chart. For society, once the other outer planets get to their new signs (end of June) it is time to create the change we want to see in society.

EXTRA

A few changes to the cast for now, as I figured out how I want to move forward with the tarotart cast and my other offerings. I am only going to do the solar system highlights section when something big changes. 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. I still love showcasing artists, so for now that is still in and then of course each sign’s cast every other week. And I will be pulling not only from tarot but from oracle decks. I may go back to weekly once my Mom has transitioned, but I will make that decision once we are there.

*Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Capricorn this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Cancerian 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.

Nina
