Tarot for the Collective


Welcome to your weekly Tarot Forecast. This week, the cards speak for themselves, with our monthly Anchor card, the 10 of Wands, gently reminding us to notice what we are carrying, what is truly ours, and what is ready to be set down. So, take a slow breath, soften your shoulders, and let this reading meet you exactly where you are.



Three tarot cards on a table, 6 of Cups, Ace of Wands and Page of Cups, showing medieval figures, a hand holding flowers, and a boy with a cup. Warm light in the background.

6 of Cups

The 6 of Cups arrives like a warm memory, inviting you to reconnect with what is simple, sincere, and nourishing. This is the energy of kindness, nostalgia, and emotional safety. You may find yourself thinking about your younger self, old friendships, or a time when life felt lighter. In the shadow, this card can highlight idealising the past, or using comfort as a way to avoid the present. With the 10 of Wands as our Anchor, ask where you have been pushing through, especially if what you really need is softness. Let the 6 of Cups guide you back to what restores you, even if it is just for a few minutes each day.


Affirmation: I allow myself to receive gentle comfort, and I honour the parts of me that need tenderness.



Ace of Wands

The Ace of Wands is a spark in the dark, a clear yes from the Universe that fresh energy is available to you now. This is inspiration, desire, courage, and creative life force. Something wants to begin, and it does not need to be perfect to be powerful. You might feel a pull towards a new idea, a conversation, a project, or a change in routine that brings you back to yourself. If the 10 of Wands has been weighing you down, the Ace of Wands asks you to choose one true flame, not ten small fires. Focus is sacred. Protect your energy, take one aligned step, and let momentum build naturally.


Affirmation: I trust the spark within me, and I take inspired action with clarity and courage.



Page of Cups

The Page of Cups brings a sweet, intuitive message. This is emotional openness, creative play, and the gentle unfolding of psychic sensitivity. Expect signs, synchronicities, vivid dreams, or a surprising invitation to feel something you have been keeping at arm’s length. The Page reminds you that your heart is wise, but it speaks softly. With the 10 of Wands as our Anchor, this card can also suggest that your emotional load has been heavier than you realised. You do not have to carry it alone. Let yourself be curious rather than critical. Let your feelings be information, not a verdict. This is a beautiful week to create, to share, and to receive support.


Affirmation: I listen to my heart with compassion, and I welcome intuitive guidance with ease.



Journal prompts

  1. Where am I carrying too much, and what would it look like to set down one burden this week?

  2. What brings me genuine comfort and safety, and how can I offer that to myself today?

  3. What new spark is asking for my attention, and what is one small step I can take to honour it?


In this week’s Tarot Forecast, the 6 of Cups invites you into softness and emotional restoration, the Ace of Wands offers a fresh spark of courage and creativity, and the Page of Cups asks you to stay open to intuitive nudges and heartfelt support. Let the 10 of Wands remind you that you are allowed to simplify, to choose, and to rest. And as always, take what resonates, and leave aside what doesn’t!
