Tarot Forecast Sept 21st to 27th 2026
Tarot for the Collective
Welcome to this week’s Tarot Forecast. All weekend, the theme of direction kept coming my way, so I took it as a sign to make this week’s reading about guidance for our inner compass. A quick reminder that our Anchor card for the month is the 5 of Pentacles, and it’s worth keeping its energy in mind as you move through your days because the 5 of Pentacles can show up as feeling on the outside of something you want, worrying about resources, or questioning whether you’re supported. But, it can also highlight the moment you remember you don’t have to do it all alone, and that community and practical solutions are closer than they look!
Where You Are: 4 of Wands
Right now, you’re standing on a threshold of stability. The 4 of Wands is the card of foundations and homecoming. It’s the relief that comes when something finally feels settled enough to celebrate. You may be craving greater structure or routine right now, but this card asks you to consider the milestone you’ve already reached, no matter how ‘small’ you may think it is.
If you’ve been feeling scattered, the 4 of Wands says that you’re not as far from solid ground as you believe. Look for what’s already working and build from there. This might be a supportive friendship, a practice that keeps you feeling steady, or the corner in your home that feels like a sanctuary. The right direction often shows up as a warm yes in your body, so listen to what it’s telling you.
If the influence of the 5 of Pentacles has you feeling unsupported at this time, the 4 of Wands reminds you to purposely seek warmth and belonging. Be open to receiving help, and prioritise spaces where you feel safe to be seen and heard.
Affirmation: I honour what I’ve built, and I let stability guide my next step.
Where You Want To Be: 9 of Cups
The 9 of Cups is the card of ‘wishes granted’ and shows the destination your spirit is calling you towards. There lies fulfilment and satisfaction. However, the one caveat with this card is to be sure about what you wish for. Be honest about what you’re dreaming of. Are you prepared to give it all your time and attention? Does it align with your morals and integrity? And have you sat in the emotion and physical feeling of what it would be like to have achieved your wish so you can ensure your inner compass gets its say? To get where you want to be, name your wish clearly, then treat it as a priority, and remember that the best measure of success is alignment.
This card also asks you to notice where you’re already blessed. Gratitude is a way of strengthening your inner guidance so you can recognise what truly nourishes you. With the 5 of Pentacles in the background, you may find scarcity thoughts creeping in. If so, the 9 of Cups asks you to practise receiving by letting support, opportunities, and joys count – big and small.
Affirmation: I allow myself to want what I want, and I welcome fulfilment without guilt.
How To Get There: 2 of Wands
The 2 of Wands is your roadmap. It calls for vision, planning, and brave decision-making. With this card, you’re being asked to look beyond the familiar and choose your direction with intention. This is the moment of holding the world in your hands and saying, “I’m ready for more”, then backing it up with a plan.
This card loves a grounded strategy, so pick one area of your life where you want movement, then map the next two steps, no more. If you’ve been waiting for certainty, this card is your permission slip. Make the call, set the date, send the message, create the outline. Direction is built through action, and clarity often comes once the first step has been taken, so get ready to make a move.
If you catch yourself second-guessing thanks to the 5 of Pentacles, the 2 of Wands encourages you to plan for bringing in support. Be open to asking for help, being mindful of your energy, and choosing a pace that’s sustainable for you.
Affirmation: I choose my path with clarity, and I take aligned action with confidence.
