Tarot for the Collective
Welcome to your weekly Tarot Forecast, dear friends!
We are right on the cusp of Spring now, with the light returning and the land beginning to soften into new life. At the same time, we are in the last shedding of the Year of the Snake, those final weeks where restriction, clearing, and quiet recalibration can still be felt in the bones. You may notice old skins loosening, habits falling away, or a sense that you are nearly through something, but not quite at the finish line yet. Be gentle with yourself as you move through this threshold.
February Anchor Card: 10 of Wands
The 10 of Wands reminds us that carrying everything alone is not a badge of honour, it is a signal. This month asks you to notice what has become too heavy, too complicated, or too 'normal' to question. Where are you over-functioning, over-giving, or pushing through when your body and spirit are asking for support? The work is real, but it does not all have to be yours. Let this be a week of honest inventory: what is essential, what is outdated, and what can be shared, simplified, or set down.
7 of Wands
The 7 of Wands arrives when you are being asked to stand your ground, not from ego, but from integrity. You may feel as if you are defending your choices, your pace, your boundaries, or your vision. This card says: you have earned your position. You do not need to convince everyone. The challenge is to stay steady when the noise rises, and to remember that resilience is not always loud. Choose your battles wisely, and protect your energy like it is sacred, because it is. If you have been feeling stretched, this is your permission to say “no” without apology and “yes” only when it is aligned.
Affirmation: I honour my boundaries and stand strong in what I know is true for me.
7 of Pentacles
The 7 of Pentacles is the patient gardener of the tarot. It speaks of effort, time, and the quiet devotion it takes to build something meaningful. You may be in a season where results feel slow, or where you are questioning whether your work is worth it. This card is a gentle reminder that growth is happening, even when you cannot see it yet. Review what you have invested your energy into and ask: is it nourishing me back? This is also a card of refinement. Adjust your approach, tend to what is working, and release what is draining the soil. Progress is not always dramatic, but it is real.
Affirmation: I trust the timing of my life, and I nurture what I am growing with steady devotion.
The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man asks for a sacred pause. Not a delay as punishment, but a stillness that creates clarity. If you have been pushing, striving, or trying to force an outcome, this card invites you to soften your grip and see things from a new angle. Sometimes the next step is revealed only when we stop rushing towards it. You may be asked to surrender a plan, a timeline, or an identity that no longer fits. This is a powerful card for spiritual recalibration, especially in these final weeks of shedding. Let yourself rest in the unknown for a moment. Wisdom is arriving through patience.
Affirmation: I release the need to force, and I allow new perspective to guide my next step.
