January 2026 Tarot Energy Predictions
Using The Queer Tarot by Ash + Chess
January opens with an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and consciously choose how we want to step into the year ahead. The Queer Tarot reminds us that our emotions, identities and relationships are sacred tools for navigation life. Each element is being asked to enter the year through a different doorway: expression, balance, clarity through tension, and emotional nourishment. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and trust that spirit always meets you where you are.
With gratitude for Spirit and all who walk this path. ✨
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
🌱 Earth: Knight of Cups
January invites you into a softer and more emotionally honest version of yourself. There’s an awareness of feelings you’ve been sitting with, learning from, and slowly understanding over the last few months. You’re realizing how you want to express it in a way that feels grounded, clear, and true to you. Late nights and racing thoughts hint at conversations you’ve been rehearsing in your mind...things you want to say, boundaries you want to name, dreams you want to share. This month, you’re finally feeling ready to speak from the heart.
Whether these conversations are about family, business, or long-term goals, there’s a gentle confidence forming within you. There’s inspiration here, too: a desire to share your aspirations for the year ahead and to receive support instead of carrying everything alone. Vulnerability can be both powerful and magnetic. When you speak honestly, others want to meet you there.
Use the energy this month to experiment with how you show up in the world, redefine parts of your identity, or recommit to long-term goals that finally feel aligned.
Affirmation: " I honor my emotions and express myself with clarity, compassion, and confidence."
Ritual Practice: Create intentional alone time this month. Light a candle, journal at night when your thoughts feel loud, and ask yourself: What truly matters to me this year? Write without censoring yourself. Let this ritual remind you that you get to choose what you welcome and what you release.
January is ideal for an Aligning with Possibility Mediumship Healing Session, where we can explore emotional clarity, communication blocks, and how to move forward while staying grounded and supported.
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
🌬️ Air: Five of Wands
January may feel chaotic and full of competing priorities, shifting responsibilities, and internal tension. You might feel pulled in multiple directions, unsure of where to focus your energy. But beneath the surface, this is clarity trying to emerge. These challenges are helping you identify what truly matters and where your passion actually lives. If you’re feeling scattered or emotionally reactive, take it as a sign to pause. Ground yourself before responding. Not every battle needs to be fought, and not every opinion needs your engagement. You may need to step away from certain situations temporarily to regain clarity.
Rather than seeing this as conflict or failure, the Five of Wands asks you to view this moment as necessary movement. You’re learning what deserves your attention and what can no longer demand your energy. You don’t have to carry everything alone. This month encourages you to lean on your community, ask for help, and collaborate instead of competing or isolating.
Affirmation: “I meet challenges with clarity, curiosity, and calm."
Ritual Practice: When tension arises, pause and place one hand on your chest and one on your stomach. Take five slow breaths and ask: What is truly bothering me beneath the surface? Write it down before responding to anyone else.
A Self Discovery Mediumship Healing Session can help you untangle mental overwhelm and bring clarity to competing priorities.
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
🌊 Water: Two of Pentacles
January centers around balance and invited in tenderness and flexibility. You’ve been operating in overdrive, leaning heavily into action, productivity, and responsibility. While you’ve handled it well, it’s come at the cost of neglecting your intuitive and nurturing needs. This month gently asks you to tend to your emotional and physical spaces, especially your home. Your environment plays a powerful role in how supported and inspired you feel. Create a space that feels loving, calming, and reflective of who you are becoming. When your home feels safe and nourishing, your creativity and emotional capacity naturally expand.
If you’ve felt scattered, overwhelmed, or out of control, this is your reminder that balance is reclaimed through rest and presence. Step away from constant motion and reconnect with your emotional center.
Flexibility will be key this month. Plans may shift, responsibilities may rearrange themselves, but trust that this is helping you realign with what truly matters. By nurturing yourself first, you’ll show up without burning yourself out in the process.
Affirmation: “I create balance by honoring both my needs and my responsibilities."
Ritual Practice: Dedicate one day or evening each week to tending your home as a sacred space. Clean, rearrange, add something comforting, and do it slowly. As you do, ask yourself: What helps me feel safe, inspired, and held?
A Self Discovery Mediumship Healing Session will support emotional regulation, balance, and reconnection to your intuitive flow this month.
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
🔥 Fire: Queen of Cups
January arrives like a deep exhale. After months of emotional intensity, movement, and uncertainty, you’re finally settling into a more balanced and compassionate relationship with yourself. You’re able to express your feelings calmly and clearly, without minimizing your needs or overwhelming others. Trust your intuition, especially when things feel tender. Your heart knows where to guide you. Seek support when needed and allow yourself moments of stillness to integrate everything you’ve been carrying.
Family and chosen family take center stage this month. You’re reminded that connection doesn’t have to look traditional to be meaningful. You get to define what support, love, and belonging look like for you. Your ability to hold space for others is powerful, but only when your own needs are met. This month encourages emotional honesty, spiritual reflection, and deep listening.
Affirmation: “I honor my emotional needs and lead with compassion and intuition."
Ritual Practice: Practice a heart centered meditation by placing your hands over your heart, breathe deeply, and ask: What does my heart need right now? Listen without judgment.
January supports a Walking with the Ancestors Mediumship Healing Session to deepen emotional integration and intuitive trust.
